Let a and b be the two numbers. Then
a + b = -4
a b = -2
Solve the second equation for b :
b = -2/a
Substitute this into the first equation:
a - 2/a = -4
Multiply both sides by a :
a² - 2 = -4a
Move 4a to the left side:
a² + 4a - 2 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for a :
a = (-4 ± √(4² - 4(-2))) / 2
a = -2 ± √6
If a = -2 + √6, then
-2 + √6 + b = -4
b = -2 - √6
In the other case, we end up with the same numbers, but a and b are swapped.

Answer:
This is not a direct variation.Step-by-step explanation:
Direct variation:
mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other.
(y varies directly with x with a constant variation of k)
[tex]y=kx;\ k\neq0[/tex]
[tex]y=kx\qquad|\text{divide both sides by}\ x\\\\\dfrac{y}{x}=k\Rightarrow \dfrac{y}{x}=constant[/tex]
[tex]21.\\\\x=y+2\qquad|\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\x-2=y\qquad|\text{divide both sides by}\ x\\\\1-\dfrac{2}{x}=\dfrac{y}{x}\ro\dfrac{y}{x}=1-\dfrac{2}{x}\neq constant[/tex]
What is the 5th term of an arithmetic sequence of 20 terms with first and last terms of 2 and 59, respectively
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)*d
59 = 2 + (20-1) * d
59 = 2 + 19d
19d = 59-2 = 57
d = 3
5th term: a₅ = 2 + 4 * 3 = 14

A total of 402 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of student tickets sold was two times the number of adult tickets sold. How many adult tickets were sold?
Answer:
134 adult tickets were sold adt tye school play.
Step-by-step explanation:
total tickets = adult + student tickets
total tickets= (2×adult tickets)+adult tickets
total tickets = 3× adult tickets.
402=3×adult tickets.
402÷3=adult tickets
134=adult tickets

Pleaseeeee answer correctly !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will mark Brianliest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
45 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem. Imagine a line connecting the ends of the right angle you made by driving. It would make a right triangle. You are trying to find the hypotenuse. Use the formula [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]. Square 27, or multiply 27 by 27, to get 729. Add this to the square of 36, 1296. So [tex]c^{2}[/tex] = 2025. Find the square root of 2025. [tex]\sqrt{2025}[/tex] = 45. Hope this helped ^^

Answer:
9/40
Step-by-step explanation:
He needs 5/8, he already has 2/5, so still needed is 5/8-2/5.
To add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be equal.
Simplest approach is to multiply them. 8 times 5 is 40, so 40 is the new denominator we need for both fractions.
So first we convert 5/8 to 25/40.
Then we convert 2/5 to 16/40.
Now we can subtract them:
25/40 - 16/40 = 9/40.
9/40 cannot be simplified so this is the final answer.
There are some basic rules you need to know to work with fractions. If above work is too fast, comment below for deeper explanation.

81-1 1/5 x < 55
please help i need help fast
Step-by-step explanation:
81 - 1.2x < 55
81 < 55 + 1.2x (add 1.2x to both sides)
1.2x > 26 (subtract 55 from both sides)
x > 21 2/3.

A family restaurant chain wants to test the market for a new menu item: a grilled chicken sandwich with chipotle salsa. They are interested in both how to market the item and the right price to charge for it. They decide to offer the sandwich at 60 different restaurants in the chain, using two different descriptions on the menu. Half the restaurants' menus will emphasize "healthy eating" and half will emphasize "value." These two groups of restaurants will be further divided in three groups, each charging either a High, Medium, or Low price for the sandwich. After a month, they will measure what proportion of customers order the new sandwich.
Answer:
Experimental units, factors & treatments in experiment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Experimental Units are the 60 restaurants.
Factors are the : Menu description & price
Treatments in experimental design : Healthy Low Price, Healthy Medium Price, Healthy High price & Value low price, Value medium price, Value high price.

4)
1 over 27
Answer:
negative 1 over 27
Step-by-step explanation:
81 * negative 1 over 27 = -3
Answer:
[tex] \dfrac{1}{27} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] 81^{-\frac{3}{4}} = [/tex]
[tex] = \dfrac{1}{81^{\frac{3}{4}}} [/tex]
[tex] = \dfrac{1}{(\sqrt[4]{81})^3} [/tex]

Is this true or false? The following graph represents a proportional relationship
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
James calculated the height of a cylinder that has a volume of 324 pi cubic inches and a radius of 12 inches. His work is shown below. V = B h Step 1: 324 pi = pi 12 squared h Step 2: 324 pi = 24 pi h Step 3: StartFraction 324 pi over 24 pi EndFraction = StartFraction 24 pi over 24 pi EndFraction h Step 4: h = 13.5 pi inches What is the first error that James made when calculating the height of the cylinder? In step 1, he substituted into the volume formula incorrectly. In step 2, he calculated 12 squared incorrectly. It should be 144 rather than 24. In step 4, the Pi should have canceled, making the correct answer 13.5 cm. James calculated the height of the cylinder correctly.
Answer:
I believe the answer is B let me know if it's wrong
Answer:
(B) In step 2, he calculated 12 squared incorrectly. It should be 144 rather than 24.
