giving medal to somebody who can answer this question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\frac{ -5 }{ 2})x ^{2}+5(\frac{ -5 }{ 2 })-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

clue less

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What exactly is the question?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Dear Pretty Girl Rocks: You can ask for guidance and examples in problem solving, but you may not ask others to do your work for you and to provide you with answers. Please keep this in mind as you progress with this conversation. Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well give me guidance on this question

OpenStudy (mathmale):

First, what is the objective? What are the instructions for this problem? What have you done so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have never seen that yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ -5x ^{2} }{2 } - 13.5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the second step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think you are trying to find what x is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's pretty straight forward from here

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Taylorjohannes is right if he was referring to the x that seems to be missing from the 2nd term. Pretty Girl: Please check this and fix it if appropriate. Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ -5x ^{2} }{ 2 } = 13.5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-5x ^{2} = 27\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{2} = -5.4\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@faisalalif1999: In your eagerness to be of help you're apparently not paying attention to the probability that an "x" is missing from the second term. Please: no more posts from anyone until Pretty Girl clarifies this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x = \sqrt{-5.4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but why would you need a second x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur just trying to find the value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is probably "= 0"

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@faisalalif1999: Please stop posting until after Pretty Girl has double checked that she has copied this problem correctly.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@prettigirlrock0804 : Your turn to post. Please respond to my request that you verify that you have copied down this problem correctly. Is there, or is there not, a missing " x " ?
