Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0=2x2+3x-8 quadratic formula x=-b+/-(sqrt)b2-4ac (fraction) 2a

For this case we have the following polynomial:

Using the quadratic formula we have:

Then, replacing values we have:

Rewriting the expression we have:

Discarding the negative root we have:

Then, doing the calculations:

the positive solution to the quadratic equation is:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

the answer would be 484

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply 0.484 times 1,000 (formula)
