Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's organise our information :
- the function is (1/2)x²+2x+3
we want to khow the value of x that gives us : (1/2)x²+2x+3=x+7
Now the trick is to write this expression as a quadratic equation with zero at one side :
- (1/2)x²+2x+3-x-7=0
- (1/2)x²+x-4=0
Now let's solve this equation :
Δ=1²-4*(1/2)*(-4)
= 9
So we have two solutions :
So the solutions are -4 and 2
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the information that:
- The airplane is at 50,000 feet
- It descends 2,500 feet in 1 minute
- x = minutes
For ease of solving this question, let's set the number of minutes (x) to 1.
- In one minute, we know the plane will drop to 47,500 feet. (50,000 - 2,500(x))
There are multiple ways to write this equation bu shifting around negative and positive values. Another way to write this equation would be (-2,500(x) + 50,000). That would be choice C.

It works, so our answer is C.
