From the given quadratic, we have a=1, b=-1, and c=-6. We substitute these values into the quadratic formula, x=-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a, giving us x=-1+-sqrt(-1^2-41-6)/2*1. This simplifies to x=1+-...

We know that 3 x 16 = 48 This is equivalent to saying 3 x 4^2 = 48 Therefore the square root of 48 can be written as square root of (4^2 x 3) = 4 x square root 3

When we deal with points of interception, this immediately indicates that these two equations have to equal. Therefore, begin by equaling these two equations: x^2 + (3k - 4)x + 13 = 2x + k Bring all figur...

Rearrange the equation so that both x's are on the same side of the equation, making sure that you change the sign of the number you bring across: 5x - 3x = 7 + 6 Now simplify: 2x = 13 Divide by 2: x = 13...

The key is start out by working out the number of widgets per minute that a single machine makes. If it takes five minutes for five machines to produce five widgets then, on average, it takes five machine...
