Dr. Montgomery recently graduated from medical school and his wife bought him an engraved stethoscope. The stethoscope cost $160.00. The sales tax in his city is 8%. What is the total cost of the stethoscope in dollars and cents including sales tax?

the answer is a i belaeve atleast thats what my calculator just gfave me

step-by-step explanation:

(-5,-28)

i graphed to on desmos.

5

step-by-step explanation:

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
