Answer 1
To solve for the roots of a quadratic equation, you use the equation

[tex]x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

The parameters a, b and c represent the coefficients of the standard form of the quadratic equation: y = ax^2 + bx + c. Thus, for the equation y = x2 − 8x + 7,

a = 1
b = -8
c = 7

The mistake Joyce made was in Step 1. Because Step 1 is wrong, the rest of the equation is wrong consequently. The mistake was made by Joyce when she assigned b = 8. She forgot to include the negative sign of -8x. 
Answer 2

Her mistake is in the first step, she wrote the equation incorrectly.

Solving quadratic equations:

A general quadratic equation:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

has the solutions:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)

In this case, the equation is:

y = x^2 - 8x + 7

And what Joyce writes in each step is:

Step 1:

x = (-8 ± √(8^2 - 4*1*7))/(2*1)

Then we can already see the mistake.

Notice that in the given equation, we have:

b = -8

And the general solution has:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)

-b would be equal to 8, then what Joyce must have written here is:

x = (8 ± √((-8)^2 - 4*1*7))/(2*1)

U would owe $1,200. If u need me to explain how I got that please let me know

After 5 year term, the distance covered is 140000 km, the charge paid is, $1200

What is multiplication?

The fundamental concept of repeatedly adding the same number is represented by the process of multiplication. The results of multiplying two or more numbers are known as the product of those numbers, and the components that are multiplied are referred to as the factors.

Given that,

In lease agreement, the distance allowed 25000 km per year for free

After that the charge will be $0.08 per km

After 5 year term, you drove a total of 140000 km

The owed amount  = ?

So, in 5 year term the distance which is free according to agreement,

⇒   5 × 25000

⇒    125000

Now, the distance for which charge has given

⇒   140000 - 125000

⇒   15000

Charged amount = $0.08 per km

The owed amount  =  0.08 × 15000

                                =   $1200

Hence, the amount owed is $1200

4 workers get paid 160,000 for working for five days, how much will 5 workers get paid for working for a day

Answers

4 workers get paid = 160,000 for 5 days

Hence,
 
1 worker gets paid = [tex] \frac{160,000}{4} = 40,000[/tex] for 5 days.

From here we can find out how much 1 worker is paid for 1 day by dividing by 5;

1 worker gets paid = [tex] \frac{40,000}{5} = 8,000[/tex] for 1 day.

Therefore,

5 workers get paid = [tex]8,000 * 5 = 40, 000[/tex] for 1 day.

2 years
200 * (1.2)^2 = 288.00

1 years
200 * 1.2^1 = 240.00

It seems you calculated 200.00 for 3 years.
You need the total which equals:
345.60 + 288.00 + 240.00
= 873.60

There is a formula for this:
Total = Amount * ([(1+rate)^(years+1) -1] / rate) - amount
Total = 200 * ([(1.20^4) -1] / .20) - 200
Total = 200 * [( 2.0736 -1) / .20] -200
Total = 200 * ( 1.0736 / .20) - 200
Total = 200 *  5.368 -200
Total = 1073.6 -200
Total = 873.60

Let f(x)=√7x and g(x)=x+8, whats the smallest number that is the domain of f^o g?

Answers

(f○g)(x)=√(7(x+8))

(f○g)(x)=√(7x+56)

Since there is no real square root of a negative value, the smallest value in the domain would make the radicand equal to zero.  x=-8 is the smallest number in the domain of (f○g)(x)

Final answer:

The smallest number in the domain of the composite function f^o g,  is -8.

Explanation:

To find the smallest number that is in the domain of the composite function fo g, we need to consider the domains of the individual functions f(x) and g(x). First, since f(x) = √7x, f is only defined for x ≥ 0, as the square root function requires non-negative input. Secondly, g(x) = x+8 is defined for all real numbers, as it's a linear function.

However, the composite function f(g(x)) will also require that the output of g(x) be non-negative, because this output becomes the input for f(x). Thus, we need to find the smallest x such that g(x) is non-negative, which occurs when x+8 ≥ 0. Solving for x gives us x ≥ -8.

Hence, the smallest x in the domain of fo g is -8.

Hint: Assign the variable x in the binomial expansion to be the number of true answers and y to be the number of false answers.

Answers

To solve this problem, we use the combination equation to find for the possible groups of answer to the questions. Since we are looking for at least 5 correct answers out of 10 questions, therefore we find for 10 ≥ r ≥ 5. We use the formula for combination:

nCr = n! / r! (n – r)!

Where,

n = total number of questions = 10

r = questions with correct answers

For 10 ≥ r ≥ 5:

10C5 = 10! / 5! (10 – 5)! = 252

10C6 = 10! / 6! (10 – 6)! = 210

10C7 = 10! / 7! (10 – 7)! = 120

10C8 = 10! / 8! (10 – 8)! = 45

10C9 = 10! / 9! (10 – 9)! = 10

10C10 = 10! / 10! (10 – 10)! = 1

Summing up all combinations will give the total possibilities:

Total possibilities = 252 + 210 + 120 + 45 + 10 + 1 = 638

At 1:00 p.m. a car leaves st. louis for chicago, traveling at a constant speed of 65 miles per hour. at 2:00 p.m. a truck leaves chicago for st. louis, traveling at a constant speed of 55 miles per hour. if it is a 305-mile drive between st. louis and chicago, at what time will the car and truck pass each other?

Answers

To find out when the car and truck will pass each other, set up an equation where the sum of the distances covered by each at their respective speeds equals 305 miles. After solving, it's determined they will pass each other at 4:00 p.m.

To determine at what time the car and truck will pass each other, we need to calculate how far each vehicle will have traveled before they meet. The car leaves St. Louis at 1:00 p.m., while the truck leaves Chicago at 2:00 p.m., one hour later. We assume they meet after the car has been traveling for t hours and the truck for t - 1 hours.

The distance the car travels is the product of its speed and time, which can be calculated as 65 miles per hour times t hours. The truck's distance is 55 miles per hour times (t - 1) hours. Since the total distance between St. Louis and Chicago is 305 miles, we combine these distances to form the equation:

65t + 55(t - 1) = 305

Solving this equation:

65t + 55t - 55 = 305120t - 55 = 305120t = 305 + 55120t = 360t = 360 / 120t = 3 hours

Since the car has been traveling for 3 hours after 1:00 p.m., the two vehicles will pass each other at 4:00 p.m.

The sum of two numbers is 64 . the smaller number is 14 less than the larger number. what are the numbers?

Answers

..2x+14=64
x=25
...x+y=64
25+y=64
y=39
x is the smallest,y is the largest

The value of a larger number is 39 and the smaller number is 25.

Given that,

The sum of the two numbers is 64.

And, the smaller number is 14 less than the larger number.

Let us assume that,

The larger number is = x

Then, the value of smaller numbers = x - 14

Since the sum of the two numbers is 64.

Hence we get;

x + (x - 14) = 64

2x - 14 = 64

2x = 64 + 14

2x = 78

x = 78/2

x = 39

Thus, The larger number is = 39

Then, the smaller number = 39 - 14

Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly! I will be assisting you with answering this question today, and will teach you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's look at our problem.
"A = L * W, solve for W."

This is basic algebra, but I will teach you how to tackle this problem, so you can do it on your own.

So, we have the following equation:
A = L * W
To solve for W, we need to get it alone on one side of the equation. Currently, it is not alone, but rather is being multiplied by L.
To isolate W, we need to perform the opposite order of operations on both sides of the equation.

A = L * W
Divide both sides by L to isolate and solve for W.

W = [tex] \frac{A}{L} [/tex] is our solution.

The following equation matches the answer choice "C".

Your answer is "C."

Circle A and circle B are congruent. CD is a chord of both circles. If AB = 8 ft and CD = 6 ft, how long is a radius?

Answers

Let us say that the intersection point of lines AB and CD is called point E. The lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other which also means that the triangle CEB is a right triangle.

Where the line CB is the radius of the circle while the side lengths are half of the whole line segment:

EB = 0.5 AB = 0.5 (8 ft) = 4 ft

CE = 0.5 CD = 0.5 (6 ft) = 3 ft

Now using the hypotenuse formula since the triangle is right triangle, we can find for the radius or line CB:

CB^2 = EB^2 + CE^2

CB^2 = (4 ft)^2 + (3 ft)^2

CB^2 = 16 ft^2 + 9 ft^2

CB^2 = 25 ft^2

CB = 5 ft = radius

Find all solutions to the equation. (sin x)(cos x) = 0

Answers

hello : 
 (sin x)(cos x) = 0
sinx = 0  or cosx= 0 
all solutions in : R
1) sinx= 0  : x = kπ......  k∈ Z
2) cosx= 0 : x= π/2 + kπ ....k∈ Z

To solve the equation (sin x)(cos x) = 0, we find that sin x equals zero when x is an integral multiple of π , while cos x equals zero at odd multiples of π/2 . Therefore, our solutions are x = nπ and x = (2n + 1)π/2 for any integer n.

To find all solutions to the equation (sin x)(cos x) = 0, we need to identify the values of x at which either sin x = 0 or cos x = 0, because if either factor on the left-hand side is zero, the product will be zero.

For sin x = 0, the solutions are where x is an integral multiple of π . This can be written as x = nπ, where n is any integer (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

For cos x = 0, the solutions occur at odd multiples of π/2. Therefore, the solutions can be represented as x = (2n + 1)π/2, where n is any integer.

Combining both sets of solutions, we have x = nπ and x = (2n + 1)π/2, for n being any integer.

How many feet of chain fence are necessary to enclose a dog pen that is square and has an area of 64 square feet?

Answers

Since we know that the area of a square is length x width and that the length=width, we can write an equation in order to find out the side of a square by using what is given. We know that the area of the square is 64 ft^2 which means that each side is equal to 8 using the equation shown below  

x^2=64
(length)(width)=64
length=width
(x)(x)=64
x=8

Now we know all the sides of the square which is 8ft. 
However, we're not done.
The question is asking for the amount of chain fence that is needed in order to enclose the square dog pen. 
The question is asking us to find the perimeter. 
Since we know what the sides of this square are, we can either add all the sides or just multiply one of the sides by four. 
8 x 4= 32ft
Answer: 32ft
The amount of feet needed to enclose the pen is the perimeter of the pen.The pen has the format of a square, which means that we have to find the perimeter of a square.We find the side of the square from the area, and with this, it is possible to find the perimeter.

Doing this, we get that 32 feet are needed.

Square:

The area of a square of side s is:

[tex]A = s^2[/tex]

And the perimeter is:

[tex]P = 4s[/tex]

Area of 64 square feet

This means that:

[tex]s = \sqrt{64}[/tex]

[tex]s = 8[/tex]

The side of the square is of 8 feet.
