How do you solve 2b2 plus 5b-35?

Assuming the equation is 2b2+5b-35=0, the quadratic formula is one way to solve this equation. It can't be factored easily. Do not confuse the "b" variable in the formula given with the "b" in the related link. The values of a, b, & c are as follows to be used in the quadratic formula: a=2, b=5, c= -35. Placing these values in the quadratic formula gives: (-5+/- sqrt(52-4*2*(-35)))/(2*2). This yields variable b = (-5+/- sqrt(305))/4 or (-5+17.46425)/4 & (-5-17.46425)/4 = 3.11606 & -5.61606 which are the two roots of the given equation.

How can you tell when a quadratic equation has two identical rational solutions?

When b^2=4ac the zero is at a single point. The parabola does not penetrate the x axis. This represents two zeros, both with the same value. Example: x^2+4x+4 yields two zeros, each at x=-2. Notice that b^2=16=4ac. So Bob's your uncle!


When dissolved in water an arrhenius base yields?

When dissolved in water, an Arrhenius base yields hydroxide ions (OH⁻) as the only negative ions in solution. This is because Arrhenius bases are substances that increase the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions.
