To solve the equation x^2 + 5x - 7 = 0 using the quadratic formula, we first need to identify the values of a, b, and c in the general quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
In this case, a = 1, b = 5, and c = -7.
The quadratic formula is given by:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
Substituting the values of a, b, and c into the formula, we get:
x = (-(5) ± √((5)^2 - 4(1)(-7))) / (2(1))
Simplifying further:
x = (-5 ± √(25 + 28)) / 2
x = (-5 ± √(53)) / 2
Therefore, the solutions to the equation x^2 + 5x - 7 = 0 using the quadratic formula are:
x = (-5 + √(53)) / 2
and
x = (-5 - √(53)) / 2
To solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we need to first identify the coefficients of the terms in the equation.
For the given equation, x^2 + 5x - 7 = 0, we have the coefficients as follows:
a = 1 (coefficient of x^2)
b = 5 (coefficient of x)
c = -7 (constant term)
Now, we can substitute these values into the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
Substituting the values, we get:
x = (-5 ± sqrt(5^2 - 4 * 1 * -7)) / (2 * 1)
Now let's simplify the formula step by step to find the solution:
x = (-5 ± sqrt(25 + 28)) / 2
x = (-5 ± sqrt(53)) / 2
Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2 + 5x - 7 = 0 are:
x₁ = (-5 + sqrt(53)) / 2
x₂ = (-5 - sqrt(53)) / 2
These are the two possible values for x that satisfy the equation.
To solve the equation using the quadratic formula, we have to identify the values of a, b, and c in the standard form of a quadratic equation, which is ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
In this case, the equation is x^2 + 5x - 7 = 0. Comparing this with the standard form, we find:
a = 1
b = 5
c = -7
The quadratic formula is given by:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
Now, let's substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula and solve for x:
x = (-5 ± √(5^2 - 4(1)(-7))) / (2(1))
x = (-5 ± √(25 + 28)) / 2
x = (-5 ± √53) / 2
Therefore, the solutions to the equation x^2 + 5x - 7 = 0 using the quadratic formula are:
x = (-5 + √53) / 2
x = (-5 - √53) / 2

What is the vertex form of the equation?
y=−x2+6x−7
To find the vertex form of the equation y = -x^2 + 6x - 7, we need to complete the square on the quadratic expression.
First, let's factor out the coefficient of x^2, which is -1:
y = -1(x^2 - 6x) - 7
Next, we need to find the value that completes the square in the expression x^2 - 6x. To do this, we take half of the coefficient of x and square it. Half of -6 is -3, and squaring -3 gives us 9. So we need to add 9 inside the parentheses to complete the square:
y = -1(x^2 - 6x + 9 - 9) - 7
Simplifying inside the parentheses:
y = -1((x - 3)^2 - 9) - 7
Expanding and simplifying further:
y = -(x - 3)^2 + 9 - 7
y = -(x - 3)^2 + 2
Thus, the vertex form of the equation y = -x^2 + 6x - 7 is y = -(x - 3)^2 + 2.

What is the expression in factored form?
3x2+6x−24
To find the expression in factored form for 3x^2 + 6x - 24, we need to factor out any common factors and then factor the quadratic expression.
First, let's factor out the greatest common factor of the coefficients, which is 3:
3(x^2 + 2x - 8)
Now, we need to factor the quadratic expression (x^2 + 2x - 8). To do this, we need to find two numbers whose product is equal to the product of the coefficient of x^2 and the constant term (-8), and whose sum is equal to the coefficient of x (2).
The two numbers are 4 and -2:
3(x^2 + 2x - 8)
= 3(x + 4)(x - 2)
Therefore, the expression 3x^2 + 6x - 24 in factored form is 3(x + 4)(x - 2).

The mistake in the student's simplification of (-3i)(-5i) is that they incorrectly multiplied the imaginary units.
To correctly simplify the expression (-3i)(-5i), we can treat the imaginary unit i as a variable and apply the rules of multiplication with variables:
(-3i)(-5i) = (-3)(-5)(i)(i)
Simplifying the real numbers, -3 and -5:
(-3)(-5)(i)(i) = 15(i)(i)
Now, we can simplify i^2, which is equal to -1:
15(i)(i) = 15(-1) = -15
Therefore, the correct simplification of (-3i)(-5i) is -15.

To find the solution to the equation 3x^2 + 2x + 6 = 0, we can use the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
In this case, a = 3, b = 2, and c = 6. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
x = (-2 ± √(2^2 - 4(3)(6))) / (2(3))
x = (-2 ± √(4 - 72)) / 6
x = (-2 ± √(-68)) / 6
Since we have a square root of a negative number, we know that the solutions will be complex numbers.
We can simplify further by factoring out -68 as -1 * 2^2 * 17:
x = (-2 ± √(-1 * 2^2 * 17)) / 6
x = (-2 ± 2i √17) / 6
Factoring out a 2 in the numerator:
x = (2(-1 ± i√17)) / 6
Simplifying further:
x = (-1 ± i√17) / 3
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x^2 + 2x + 6 = 0 is:
x = (-1 ± i√17) / 3

To find the zeroes of the equation y = x^2 - 8x + 15, we need to solve for x when y equals zero.
Setting y = 0:
0 = x^2 - 8x + 15
Now, we can factor the quadratic expression:
0 = (x - 3)(x - 5)
Setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x:
x - 3 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x = 3 or x = 5
Therefore, the zeroes of the equation y = x^2 - 8x + 15 are x = 3 and x = 5.

0.67 seconds or 5.04 seconds
2.50 seconds
To find the time when the softball will be approximately 50 feet above the ground, we need to solve the equation s(t) = 50.
s(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 3
Setting this equal to 50:
-16t^2 + 80t + 3 = 50
Rearranging the equation:
-16t^2 + 80t - 47 = 0
Now, we can solve this quadratic equation to find the time when the softball will be 50 feet above the ground.
Using the quadratic formula:
t = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
In this case, a = -16, b = 80, and c = -47.
Substituting these values into the quadratic formula:
t = (-80 ± √(80^2 - 4(-16)(-47))) / (2(-16))
Simplifying further:
t = (-80 ± √(6400 - 3016)) / (-32)
t = (-80 ± √3384) / (-32)
Now, finding the value inside the square root:
√3384 ≈ 58.17
Substituting this back into the equation:
t ≈ (-80 ± 58.17) / (-32)
Now, considering both the positive and negative roots:
t ≈ (38.17 / -32) or (138.17 / -32)
Calculating these values:
t ≈ -1.19 or -4.32
Of the given options, the closest time when the softball will be 50 feet above the ground is 5.04 seconds.
Therefore, the closest time when the softball will be 50 feet above the ground is approximately 5.04 seconds.
The lengths of the sides of a rectangular window have the ratio 2.5 to 1. The area of the window is 2,250 square inches. What are the dimensions of the window?(1 point)

30 inches by 45 inches
60 inches by 37.5 inches
Let the length of the window be 2.5x and the width be x.
According to the given ratio, the length to width is 2.5 to 1, so we have:
2.5x / x = 2.5
Now, we can find the dimensions of the window using the area formula:
Area = length * width
2250 = 2.5x * x
2250 = 2.5x^2
Divide both sides of the equation by 2.5:
900 = x^2
Taking the square root of both sides:
x = ±√900
x = ±30
Since the width cannot be negative, we take x = 30.
Now, we can find the length by multiplying the width by the ratio:
Length = 2.5 * width = 2.5 * 30 = 75
Therefore, the dimensions of the window are 30 inches by 75 inches.

To find the selling price per hat that would maximize Vinny's profit and the maximum profit he can make, we need to analyze the given quadratic function p(x) = -10x^2 + 700x - 6000.
First, we can determine the vertex of the quadratic function, which represents the maximum point on the graph. The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by the formula x = -b / (2a), where a = -10 and b = 700 in this case.
x = -700 / (2 * (-10))
x = -700 / (-20)
x = 35
So the selling price per hat that would maximize Vinny's profit is $35.
To find the maximum profit, we substitute x = 35 back into the original function to get the corresponding y-value:
p(35) = -10(35)^2 + 700(35) - 6000
p(35) = -10(1225) + 24500 - 6000
p(35) = -12250 + 24500 - 6000
p(35) = 6300
Therefore, the maximum profit Vinny can make is $6,300.
