Hi there
Root=0.5 means x=0.5
Plug in 0.5 for x
(b-5)0.5^2-(b-2)0.5+b=0
(b-5)0.25-(b-2)035+b=0
Simplify
0.75b-2.25=0
b=3
Hope this helps
Answer:
$156.86
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate tip, you need to multiply the total bill by the percent tip you are going to leave. In this case the bill is $136.40, and the customer is going to leave a 15% tip. So, you would want to move the decimal place over to the left by 1, which you should get 13.64 as your number. Then divide it in half, which should give you 6.82. Now add 13.64 and 6.82 with the original bill price. If you don't add the 13.64 you would've forgotten the 10% part of the tip. At the end you should get $156.86 as your final bill.
Slope would be undefined because there are many many y-values for one x value. This is impossible for ANY function. To be specific, the correct equation that names the graph is <em>x=4</em>. Please note that this is <u>not</u> a function. If it goes straight up, it is <u>UNDEFINED</u>!!!

The answer is <u><em>D</em></u>
Option a: 
is the length of b
Explanation:
The angle of B is 
and 
We need to determine the length of b.
First, let us determine the angle of A.
Since, ABC is a triangle, then all the angles add up to 180°
Thus, we have,
Thus, the angle of A is
Now, we shall determine the length of b using the sine law formula.
The formula for sine law is given by,
where , ,
Thus, we have,
Simplifying, we get,
Multiplying both sides by 0.866, we get,
Multiplying the numerator, we have,
Dividing, we get,
Thus, the length of b is 
Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
