Hailey took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $2.40 plus $4.50 per mile. The total fare was $87.90, not including the tip. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine mm, the number of miles in the taxi ride.

The taxi drove Hailey for 19 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract the tip.

$87.90 - $2.40 = $85.5

2. Divide by the price per mile. ($4.50)

$85.5 / $4.50 = 19

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
