Find the first approximate solutions for -2x^2 + 4x + 2 = 0. I think it's the first one but I really don't want to get a bad grade on this assignment :(

Phyllis and chen are saving money to go to a football game. each friend starts with some money and saves a specific amount each week. phyllis made a graph to show the total she has saved at the end of each week. chen wrote an equation to show the total, y, he has saved at the end of each week, x. y = 15x + 15 compare the amount that each friend has when both friends start saving. select the correct answer from the drop-down menu to complete the statement. phyllis starts with $ and chen starts with $

The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown. 4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15 (4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3 2x = 18 what is the solution of the system of equations? (1,2) (3,9) (5,5) (9,3)

The population of a bacteria colony grows by a consistent percentage each hour and can be modeled by the function y = 500(1.16)t. what does the value 500 represent in the function?
