Final answer:
To convert 8 3/4% to a fraction, you transform the mixed number into an improper fraction, which equals 875%. Then, scale it by dividing by 100 to get 8.75%, and express this as 8.75/100. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 25 to finally get 7/16.
Explanation:
To express 8 3/4% as a fraction, we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. There are 4 quarters in a whole, so 8 3/4 is the same as 8 + 3/4, which equals 35/4. To convert this into a percent, we need to consider that 1 whole is the same as 100%, so 35/4 as a percent is 35/4 * 100%. Simplifying this, we multiply 35 by 25 (100% divided by 4), which gives us 875%. Since we want to express 8 3/4%, not 800 3/4%, we divide by 100 to get back to the correct scale. So, 875% divided by 100 is 8.75%, which is the same as 8 3/4%.
Now, to convert 8.75% to a fraction, we can write it as 8.75/100. To simplify this fraction, we recognize that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 25. Dividing both by 25, we get 7/4 divided by 1 which simplifies to 7/4 divided by 100/25. This simplifies to 7/4 * 25/100, which equals 7/16 when simplified.
Thus, 8 3/4% as a fraction is 7/16.
Mr. O'Conell spends 15% of his salary on food. He then spends 24% of it on transportation and saves the remaining $1,830. What is his salary?
Answer:
what do i do if my math skills are bad
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Salary of Mr. O'Conell be : S
Given : Mr. O'Conell spends 15% of his Salary on Food
[tex]\mathsf{\implies 15\%\;of\;Salary(S) = (\frac{15}{100} \times S) = 0.15 \times S}[/tex]
Given : Mr. O'Conell spends 24% of his Salary on Transportation
[tex]\mathsf{\implies 24\%\;of\;Salary(S) = (\frac{24}{100} \times S) = 0.24 \times S}[/tex]
Given : After Spending on Food and Transportation, He saves $1830
Money Spent on Food + Money spent on Transportation + Remaining Money should be Equal to his Total Salary
[tex]\mathsf{\implies 0.15S + 0.24S + 1830 = S}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\implies 0.39S + 1830 = S}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\implies S - 0.39S = 1830}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\implies 0.61S = 1830}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\implies S = \frac{1830}{0.61} }[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\implies S = 3000}[/tex]
Mr. O'Conell's Salary is $3000

x + 7/8 = 4
A. x = 4 7/8
B. x = -3 1/8
C. x = -4 7/8
D. x = 3 1/8
Answer:
D. x = 3 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 7/8 = 4
The first step is to subtract 7/8 from each side
x + 7/8 - 7/8 = 4 - 7/8
x = 4 - 7/8
We need to borrow from the 4. It become 3 8/8
x = 3 8/8 - 7/8
x = 3 1/8
Answer:
I believe the answer would be D.

All of the angles are either the given angle or its supplement. Corresponding angles are congruent, as are vertical angles. Any linear pair of angles will add to 180°.
Answer:
77° and 103°
Step-by-step explanation:
77° because it says one of the angles is 77°
103° because two parallel lines are equal to 180°
180°-77° is 103°
If f(x) = x3 – x2 – 3, which of the following is equal to g(x) = f(2 – x)?
–x3 + 5x2 – 8x + 1
–x3 + 7x2 – 16x – 15
x3 + 5x2 + 8x + 1
x3 – 7x2 + 16x – 15
Answer:
-x^3+5x^2-8x+1, which is choice A
======================================
Work Shown:
f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 3
f(x) = (x)^3 - (x)^2 - 3
f(2-x) = (2-x)^3 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ................ see note 1 (below)
f(2-x) = (2-x)(2-x)^2 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ........... see note 2
f(2-x) = (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 3
f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 4
f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - 4+4x-x^2 - 3 ....... see note 5
f(2-x) = -x^3+5x^2-8x+1
----------
note1: I replaced every copy of x with 2-x. Be careful to use parenthesis so that you go from x^3 to (2-x)^3, same for the x^2 term as well.
note2: The (2-x)^3 is like y^3 with y = 2-x. We can break up y^3 into y*y^2, so that means (2-x)^3 = (2-x)(2-x)^2
note3: (2-x)^2 expands out into 4-4x+x^2 as shown in figure 1 (attached image below). I used the box method for this and for note 4 as well. Each inner box or cell is the result of multiplying the outside terms. Example: in row1, column1 we have 2 times 2 = 4. You could use the FOIL rule or distribution property, but the box method is ideal so you don't lose track of terms.
note4: (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) turns into -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 when expanding everything out. See figure 2 (attached image below). Same story as note 3, but it's a bit more complicated.
note5: distribute the negative through to ALL the terms inside the parenthesis of (4-4x+x^2) to end up with -4+4x-x^2
Answer:
–x3 + 5x2 – 8x + 1
–x3 + 7x2 – 16x – 15
x3 + 5x2 + 8x + 1
x3 – 7x2 + 16x – 15
Step-by-step explanation:
–x3 + 5x2 – 8x + 1
–x3 + 7x2 – 16x – 15
x3 + 5x2 + 8x + 1
x3 – 7x2 + 16x – 15

An anthropologist studies a woman's femur that was uncovered in Madagascar. To estimate the woman's height, he uses the equation h=60+2.5fh=60+2.5f, where hh represents height in centimeters and ff represents length of the femur in centimeters. Which inequality best represents the lengths of the femur that would suggest the woman had a height greater than 160cm?
Choose 1 answer:
Answer:
The inequality [tex]f>40[/tex] represents the length of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]h=60+2.5f[/tex]
Where, h is woman's height in centimeters and f is length of the femur in centimeters.
If woman's height is greater than 160cm, then
[tex]h>160[/tex]
[tex]60+2.5f>160[/tex]
Substract 60 from both sides.
[tex]2.5f>100[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.5.
[tex]f>40[/tex]
Therefore the inequality [tex]f>40[/tex] represents the lengths of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.

On multiple-choice questions, it is rarely necessary to work out the solution to the problem completely. Usually, it is sufficient to find the one number that discriminates between correct and incorrect answers.
In real life, answers are rarely multiple-choice. You are required to work the problem completely and to figure out how to tell if your answer is correct.
Here, we have worked the problem far enough to find the slope, the amount by which revenue increases when sales increases by 1 unit. The intercept can be found different ways. One of them is to see what number makes the revenue match for one of the "x" values:
... R(10) = 850·10 +b = 18100
... b = 18100 -8500 = 9600
so ...
... R(x) = 850x +9600
We can check this answer by computing R(20), as we have above.
Answer:
R(x)=850x+9600

(4a^2)b–ab^2–(3a^2)b+ab^2–ab+6 for a=−3, b=2
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
These are generally easier to evaluate by hand if they are simplified first.
... (4a^2)b -ab^2 -(3a^2)b +ab^2 -ab +6
... = (a^2)b(4 -3) + ab^2(-1 +1) -ab +6
... = a^2·b -ab +6
... = ab(a -1) +6
... = (-3)(2)(-3-1) +6
... = (-6)(-4)+6
... = 24 +6 = 30
Put the values of a = -3 and b = 2 to the expression

Denise earns $60 per day, plus $15 for each new customer she signs up. What is an explicit function rule for the amount Denise earns in a day, assuming that she signs up n customers?
an=
Answer:
f(x) = 60 + 15n
Step-by-step explanation:
if the start off amount is 60, so we can simply start it with 60 + ...
If she gets 15 for each customer, and the amount of customers is equal to n, then this can be written by 15n ( 12 * n )
Simply put these two parts together:
60 + 15n
So in a function:
f(x) = 60 + 15n
Which of the following is an equation of the line in the graph?
In the graph, range of the x axis is minus five to five by increment of one and minus four, minus two, two, and four are labeled. The range of y axis is minus thee to five by increment of one and minus two, two and four are labeled. In the graph, line passes through the points (1, 1) and (0, 4).
A. 3x − y = 4
B. 3x + y = 4
C. −3x − y = 4
D. −3x + y = 4
B. 3x +y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:It is perhaps easiest to simply try the equations to see which one works.
For x=0, there are two different kinds of answers:
... A and C: -y = 4
... B and D: y = 4
Since we know y=4 when x=0 (from the point (0, 4)), we can eliminate choices A and C.
___
Using the point (1, 1), you can try choices B and D to see which works:
... B: 3·1 +1 = 4 . . . . true (put 1 where x and y are in the equation)
... D: -3·1 +1 = -2 = 4 . . . . false
The appropriate choice is the equation of B: 3x +y = 4.
_____
Derive the equation from the given points
There are several ways you can derive the equation. Since you have the y-intercept (the point with x=0), you can use the slope-intercept form to start.
The slope (m) is ...
... m = (change in y)/(change in x) = (4 -1)/(0 -1)
... m = -3
We know the y-intercept (b) is 4, so the slope-intercept form of the equation is ...
... y = mx +b
... y = -3x +4
Adding 3x puts this in standard form:
... 3x +y = 4
The equation of the line passing through points (1,1) and (0,4) is y = -3x + 4 or in standard form -3x + y = 4.
Explanation:In the subject of mathematics, when it comes to identifying equations of the line in a graph, we consider the points it passes through. In this case, the line passes through the points (1, 1) and (0, 4). The equation of a line can be found using the formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope. The slope m between two points can be found using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
Let's substitute the given points into the slope formula and find the slope: m = (4 - 1) / (0 - 1) = -3. Now, using the slope and one of the points (let's use (0,4)), we substitute into the line formula: y - 4 = -3(x - 0). This simplifies to y = -3x + 4, which aligns with answer D: −3x + y = 4.

the original price of the sweater is 18.00 dollares. the sale price is 20% OFF THE ORIGINAL PRICE .what is the amount off the original price?
Answer:
The amount off the original price is $3.6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the sweater = $18.00
Amount off on the sweater = 20% of the original price of the sweater
=[tex]18.00\times\frac{20}{100}=$3.6[/tex]
The cost of the sweater on the sale = $18.00 - $3.6 = $14.4
The amount off the original price is $3.6.
You have towels of three sizes. The length of the first is 3 /4 m, which makes up 3/ 5 of the length of the second. The length of the third towel is 5 /12 of the sum of the lengths of the first two. What part of the third towel is the second?
Answer:
9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
In ratio units, the relative lengths of the first, second, and third towels are ...
... 1 : 3/5 : (5/12)·(1 +3/5)
... = 1 : 3/5 : 2/3
Then the fraction the second towel is of the third towel is ...
... (3/5)/(2/3) = (3/5)·(3/2) = 9/10
answer:
the answer is 2/3
Write an equation of the line that passes through a pair of points: -2,-2 and 5,-5
Answer:
The equation of the line would be y = -3/7x - 20/7
Step-by-step explanation:
To start finding the line of this equation, you need to find the slope. You can do this using the slope equation.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-2 - -5)/(-2 - 5)
m = (-2 + 5)/(-2 - 5)
m = 3/-7
m = -3/7
Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form to get the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 5 = -3/7(x - 5)
y + 5 = -3/7x + 15/7
y = -3/7x - 20/7
To find the equation of the line that passes through (-2, -2) and (5, -5), calculate the slope, apply it to the point-slope form using one of the points, then simplify to slope-intercept form, resulting in y = (-3/7)x - 20/7.
To find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,-2) and (5,-5), we first need to calculate the slope of the line. The slope (m) can be found using the formula:
m = (y_{2} - y_{1}) / (x_{2} - x_{1})
Substituting our points into the formula:
m = (-5 - (-2)) / (5 - (-2)) = (-5 + 2) / (5 + 2) = -3 / 7
Next, we use the point-slope form of a line's equation which is y - y1 = m(x - x1). Let's use the first point (-2, -2):
y - (-2) = (-3/7)(x - (-2))
Now we simplify and write the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
y + 2 = (-3/7)x - 6/7
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to solve for y:
y = (-3/7)x - 6/7 - 14/7
y = (-3/7)x - 20/7
The equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,-2) and (5,-5) is y = (-3/7)x - 20/7.

Comment on answer choices
For the ball to take 456 seconds (more than 7 1/2 hours) to hit the ground, it would have to be launched at 7296 ft/s, several times the speed of sound. Its maximum height would be over 157.5 miles, and all of the usual assumptions about a stationary flat Earth with a uniform gravity field and no air resistance could not apply.
So, we know that 456 seconds is an impossible choice (as are the higher values, such as 1863 seconds). Perhaps that should be 4 5/6 seconds. For that to be the answer, the launch speed would need to be 77 1/3 ft/s, not 48 ft/s.

Please help I do not understand how to do this ..Thanks
QUESTION 1
a)
Let
[tex]s [/tex]
represent the amount Same earned and
[tex]k[/tex]
represent the amount Kevin earned.
We were told that, they earned $425 dollars together.
This implies that,
[tex]k+s= 425---eqn(1)[/tex]
It was also given that, Kevin earned $25 more than Same.
This implies,
[tex]k-s=25---eqn(2)[/tex]
For equation (1), when
[tex]s=0[/tex]
[tex]k=425[/tex]
We plot the point,
[tex](425,0)[/tex]
When
[tex]k=0[/tex]
[tex]s=425[/tex]
We plot the point,
[tex](0,425)[/tex]
Similarly for the second equation when
[tex]s=0[/tex]
[tex]k=25[/tex]
This gives the point,
[tex](25,0)[/tex]
When
[tex]k=0[/tex]
[tex]s=-25[/tex]
We plot
[tex](0,-25)[/tex]
and draw a straight line through them.
We can see from the graph that the two points intersect at
[tex](225,200)[/tex]
This implies that
[tex]k=225\:and\:s=200[/tex]
Therefore Kevin earned $ 225
and Same earned $ 200
QUESTION 2
The given system is
[tex]6=-4x + y---eqn(1)[/tex]
and
[tex]-5x-y=21---eqn(2)[/tex]
From equation (2),
[tex]y=-5x-21---eqn(3)[/tex]
Put equation (3) into equation (1).
This implies that,
[tex]6=-4x-5x-21[/tex]
Group like terms,
[tex]6+21=-4x-5x[/tex]
Simplify, to get,
[tex]27=-9x[/tex]
[tex]x=-3[/tex]
We substitute this value into equation (3) to get,
[tex]y=-5(-3)-21[/tex]
[tex]y=15-21[/tex]
[tex]y=-6[/tex]
Therefore the solution is
[tex](-3,-6)[/tex]
QUESTION 3
We want to solve,
[tex]2x+y=20---(1)[/tex]
and
[tex]6x -5y=12---(2)[/tex]
We multiply equation (1) by 3 to get,
[tex]6x+3y=60---(3)[/tex]
Equation (3) minus equation (2) will give us,
[tex]8y=48[/tex]
This means
[tex]y=6[/tex]
Put this value into equation (1) to get,
[tex]2x+6=20[/tex]
[tex]2x=20-6[/tex]
[tex]2x=14[/tex]
[tex]x=7[/tex]
The solution is
[tex](7,6)[/tex]

a) Let the amount earned by Sam = s and the amount earned by Kevin = k
We are given, that they both earn total $425 i.e. s + k = 425
Also, Kevin earns $25 more than Sam i.e. k = s + 25
Hence, the system of equations comes out to be:
s + k = 425
-s + k = 25
b) Take s = x and k = y. See the graph plotted below
c) As the intersection point from the graph comes out to be (s,k) = (200,225)
Therefore, Sam earns $200 and Kevin earns $225.
Now, we have the system
-4x + y = 6
-5x - y = 21
We need to use substitution method.
Take y= -5x - 21 from the 2nd equation and put it in the 1st.
We get, -4x - 5x - 21 = 6 i.e. -9x = 27 i.e. x= -3
Now, substitute this value of x in any of the equation to find y.
We get, -5*(-3) - y = 21 i.e. y = 15 - 21 i.e. y = -6
Now, we are given the system,
2x + y = 20
6x - 5y = 12
We need to use elimination method.
Multiply 5 by equation 1. We get,
10x + 5y = 100
6x - 5y = 12
Adding the above equations, we get, 16x = 112 i.e. x = 7
Put this value in any of the equation to find the value of y.
We get, y = 20 - 2x i.e. y = 20 - 2*7 i.e. y = 20 - 14 i.e. y = 6
A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 20% copper and another alloy that is 60% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy should the metalworker combine to create 100 kg of a 52% copper alloy?
The metalworker should use
_______ of the metal alloy that is 20% copper and ___ kilograms
of the metal alloy that is 60% copper
(Type whole numbers.)
I like to use a little X diagram to work mixture problems like this. The constituent concentrations are on the left; the desired mix is in the middle, and the right legs of the X show the differences along the diagonal. These are the ratio numbers for the constituents. Reducing the ratio 32:8 gives 4:1, which totals 5 "ratio units". We need a total of 100 kg of alloy, so each "ratio unit" stands for 100 kg/5 = 20 kg of constituent.
That is, we need 80 kg of 60% alloy and 20 kg of 20% alloy for the product.
_____
Using an equation
If you want to write an equation for the amount of contributing alloy, it works best to let a variable represent the quantity of the highest-concentration contributor, the 60% alloy. Using x for the quantity of that (in kg), the amount of copper in the final alloy is ...
... 0.60x + 0.20(100 -x) = 0.52·100
... 0.40x = 32 . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms, subtract 20
... x = 32/0.40 = 80 . . . . . kg of 60% alloy
... (100 -80) = 20 . . . . . . . .kg of 20% alloy
Multiply.
38⋅45
Express your answer in simplest form.
The simplest form of 38 multiplied by 45 equals to 1710.
To multiply 38 and 45, we'll use the long multiplication method:
38
x 45
------
190 (38 * 5)
+1520 (38 * 40, shift one position to the left)
------
1710
So, 38 multiplied by 45 equals 1710.
Another method is to break down 38 into its factors to simplify the multiplication:
38 = 2 * 19
Now, we can rewrite 38 * 45 as (2 * 19) * 45:
(2 * 19) * 45 = (2 * 45) * 19
= 90 * 19
Now, we can multiply 90 by 19:
90
x 19
-----
180 (90 * 9, shift one position to the left)
+ 0 (90 * 1, with a zero placeholder)
-----
1710
Again, we get the result as 1710.
So, whether we use long multiplication directly or break down the numbers into factors, the result remains the same: 38 * 45 = 1710.
After joining two pieces of a picture frame together, a frame maker checks her work by measuring the diagonal (see the illustration). The sides of the frame form a right angle and the measurements are as follows: a = 12 in. and b = 5 in.
Charlie measured his room and found that it was 10 1/2 feet in length and 7 1/4 feet wide. His brother's room has the same width, but its length is 4/5 the length of Charlie's room. What is the length of Charlie's brother's room. What is the area of Charlie's brother's room?
Answer:
Length of Charlie's brother's room = 8 2/5 feet
Area of Charlie's brother's room = 60 9/10 feet²
Step-by-step explanation:
Width Charlie's room = 7 1/4 = (7 x 4 +1)/4 = 29/4 feet
Length Charlie's room = 10 1/2 = (10 x 2 +1)/2 = 21/2 feet
Length brother's room = 4/5 x 21/2 = (4 x 21)/(5 x 2) = 84/10 = 8 2/5 feet
Area = Length x Width = (42/5 x 29/4) feet² = 1218/20 feet² = 60 9/10 feet²

The Art Club collected $15 from each of its 17 members for dues. It then had $300 in its account. Assume the relationship is linear. Find and interpret the rate of change and the initial value.
The "rate of change" is presumed to refer to the rate at which the balance in the bank account changes as dues are collected from Art Club members. It increases by $15 for each new collection, so we can say ...
... the rate of change is $15 per member.
We further presume that the problem intends the "initial value" to refer to the fact that the 17 × $15 = $255 does not match the full amount of the current Art Club account balance ($300). So, there must have been some balance in the account before collection started. We can interpret that $45 "initial value" as ...
... the account balance before dues collection started is the initial value.
A motorboat, that has speed of 10 km/hour in still water, left a pier traveling against the current of the river. Forty-five minutes after the boat left the pier, the motor of the boat broke, and the boat began drifting with the current. After three hours of drifting with the current, the boat was back at the pier where it had started. What is the speed of the current of the river?
Answer:
2 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
distance = speed × timetime = distance/speedLet c represent the speed of the current of the river in km/h. Then the speed of the boat upstream is (10-c). In 3/4 hour, the distance traveled upstream is ...
... distance upstream = (3/4)·(10 -c)
The time taken to travel the same distance downstream is given as 3 hours. The speed in that direction is c, so we have ...
... 3 = distance upstream/c = (3/4)(10 -c)/c
Multiplying this equation by 4c, we get ...
... 12c = 3(10 -c)
... 15c = 30 . . . . . . . . add 3c
... c = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15
The speed of the river current is 2 km/h.
Answer:
2km/h

Two roads are represented by lines on a coordinate grid. Two points on each of the roads are shown in the tables.
(A) Write the equation for Road 1 in slope-intercept form.
(B) Write the equation for Road 2 in point-slope form and then in slope-intercept form.
(C) Is the system of equations consistent independent, coincident, or inconsistent? Explain
(D) If the two roads intersect, what are the coordinates of the point of intersection? Use the substitution method and show your work.
Answer:
(A) y - 7 = 2(x -2)
(B) y = -x + 6; y - 5 = -1(x + 1)
(C) Consistent independent
(D) (1, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
(A) Road 1
(a) Slope
The point-slope formula for a straight line is
y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁) Insert the points
3 - 7 = m(0 - 2)
-4 = m(-2) Divide each side by -2
m = -4/(-2) Divide numerator and denominator by-2,
m = 2
=====
(b) y-intercept
y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁)
y₂ - 7 = 2(x₂ -2)
y - 7 = 2(x -2)
===============
(B) Road 2
(a) Slope
y = mx + b
Choose point (3,3)
m = (3 - 5)/(3 - 1)
m = -2/2
m = -1
=====
(b) y-intercept
y = mx +b
Choose point (3,3).
3 = -3 + b Add 3 to each side
b = 6
=====
(c) Equation of line (point-slope form)
y = mx + b
y = -x + 6
=====
(d) Equation of line (slope-intercept form)
y - 5 = -1(x - 1)
===============
(C) Consistency
The two roads intersect.
There is only one point of intersection, so this is a consistent, independent system of equations
===============
(D) Point of intersection
(1) y - 7 = 2(x - 2)
(2) y = -x + 6 Substitute (2) into (1)
-x + 6 – 7 = 2(x – 2) Remove parentheses
-x - 1 = 2x – 4 Add 4 to each side
-x +3 = 2x Add x to each side
3 = 3x Divide each side by 3
x = 1 Substitute into 2
=====
y = -1 + 6
y = 5
The point of intersection is (1, 5).
Solve give your answer in interval notation: 5-4x^2>=8x!!! Please help ASAP!!!:( On the answer key for my final study guide it says that the answer is [-5,1/2] but on the calculator it says that the answer is [-5/2,1/2] I want to know which of these answers is correct!!! :)
Answer:
[-5/2, 1/2] is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the left side to compare to zero:
... 4x^2 +8x -5 ≤ 0
... (2x +5)(2x -1) ≤ 0 . . . . factor
... x = -5/2 . . . or . . . x = 1/2 . . . . are the zeros
The factors will differ in sign (the product will be negative) when x is between the zero values. Hence the solution set is ...
... x ∈ [-5/2, 1/2]
_____
Check
When you normalize the leading coefficient of the quadratic to 1, it becomes ...
... x² +2x -5/4 ≤ 0
Now, you know the sum of zeros must be -2 and the product of zeros must be -5/4. The zeros associated with the answer given in your key have a sum of -4.5 and a product of -5/2. It cannot be right.
