Use the quadratic formula to find the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 2 = 0. x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c, all over 2 times a x equals 5 plus or minus the square root of 33, all over 2 x equals negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 33, all over 2 x equals 5 plus or minus the square root of 17, all over 2 x equals negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 17, all over 2

x = [ -b +- sqr root (b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

a = 1

b = -5

c = -2

x = [- - 5 +- sqr root (-5^2 -4 * 1 * -2)] / 2 * 1

x = [5 +- sqr root (25 + 8)] / 2

x1 =  5.3723

x2 =-0.37228

Step-by-step explanation:

at home andrea has 1 2/3 kilograms of rice

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
