\LARGE{ \boxed{ \mathbb{ \color{purple}{SOLUTION:}}}}

We have, Discriminant formula for finding roots:

\large{ \boxed{ \rm{x =  \frac{  - b \pm \:  \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a} }}}

Here,

  • x is the root of the equation.
  • a is the coefficient of x^2
  • b is the coefficient of x
  • c is the constant term

1) Given,

3x^2 - 2x - 1

Finding the discriminant,

➝ D = b^2 - 4ac

➝ D = (-2)^2 - 4 × 3 × (-1)

➝ D = 4 - (-12)

➝ D = 4 + 12

➝ D = 16

2) Solving by using Bhaskar formula,

❒ p(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{ - 5\pm  \sqrt{( - 5) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 6 }} {2 \times 1}}}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{ - 5  \pm  \sqrt{25 - 24} }{2 \times 1} }}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{ - 5 \pm 1}{2} }}

So here,

\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  - 2 \: or  - 3}}}

❒ p(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{  - 2 \pm  \sqrt{ {2}^{2}  - 4 \times 1 \times 1} }{2 \times 1} }}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{ - 2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 4} }{2} }}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{ - 2 \pm 0}{2} }}

So here,

\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  - 1 \: or \:  - 1}}}

❒ p(x) = x^2 - x - 20 = 0

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{ - ( - 1) \pm  \sqrt{( - 1) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 20) } }{2 \times 1} }}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 80} }{2} }}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{1 \pm 9}{2} }}

So here,

\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = 5 \: or \:  - 4}}}

❒ p(x) = x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =   \dfrac{  - ( - 3) \pm \sqrt{( - 3) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 4) } }{2 \times 1} }}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{9  + 16} }{2 \times 1} }}

\large{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x =  \dfrac{3  \pm 5}{2} }}

So here,

\large{\boxed{ \rm{ \longrightarrow \: x = 4 \: or \:  - 1}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

given: a = 1, b = 5, c = 6

1) Discriminant → ∆= b² − (4*a*c)

∆= b² - (4*a*c)

∆= 5² - (4*1*6)

∆=25 -<em> </em>( 24 )

∆= 25 - 24

∆= 1

2)

Solve x = (- b ± √Δ ) / 2a

x = ( 5 ± √25 ) / 2*1

x = ( 2 ± 5 ) / 2

x = ( 2 + 5 ) / 2 or x = ( 2 - 5 ) / 2

x = ( 7 ) / 2 <em> </em> or x = ( - 3 ) / 2

x = 3.5 or x = -1.5

b)

given: a = 1, b = 2, c = 1

1) Discriminant → ∆= b² − (4*a*c)

∆= b² - (4*a*c)

∆= 2² - (4*1*1)

∆= 4 - (4)

∆= 4 - 4

∆= 0

2)

Solve x = (- b ± √Δ ) / 2a

x = ( -2 ± √0) / 2*1

x = ( 2 ± 0 ) / 2

x = ( 2 + 0) / 2 or x = ( 2 - 0 ) / 2

x = ( 2 ) / 2 or x = ( 2 ) / 2

x = 1 or x = 1

x = 1 (only one solution)

c)

given: a = 1, b = -1, c = -20

1) Discriminant → ∆= b² − (4*a*c)

∆= b² - (4*a*c)

∆= -1² - (4*1*-20)

∆= 1 - ( -80 )

∆= 1 + 80

∆= 81

2)

Solve x = (- b ± √Δ ) / 2a

x = ( 2 ± √81 ) / 2*1

x = ( 2 ± 9 ) / 2

x = ( 2 + 9 ) / 2 or x = ( 2 - 9 ) / 2

x = ( 11 ) / 2 or x = ( - 7 ) / 2

x = 5.5 or x = -3.5

d)

given: a = 1, b = -3, c = -4

1) Discriminant → ∆= b² − (4*a*c)

∆= b² - (4*a*c)

∆= -3² - (4*1*-4)

∆= 9 - ( -16)

∆= 9 + 16

∆= 25

2)

Solve x = (- b ± √Δ ) / 2a

x = ( 3 ± √25 ) / 2*1

x = ( 3 ± 5 ) / 2

x = ( 3 + 5 ) / 2 or x = ( 3 - 5 ) / 2

x = ( 8 ) / 2 or x = ( - 2 ) / 2

x = 4 or x = -1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The fast way: Testing the options!

Teacher loving way:

An= d×n + A0

d= A4-A3=A5-A4=A6-A5...= 6

A3= 0 = 6×3 + A0

A0= -18

Then the equation is: An= 6n - 18

4x + y =3<br> x + y - z = 9<br> 2x + 2y + z = 0
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

[0, 3, -6]

Step-by-step explanation:

{4x + y = 3

{x + y - z = 9 ←

{2x + 2y + z = 0 ←

{4x + y = 3

{3x + 3y = 9 >> Combined equation

−¾[4x + y = 3]

{−3x - ¾y = −2¼ >> New Equation

{3x + 3y = 9

_________

2¼y = 6¾

___ ___

2¼ 2¼

y = 3 [Plug this back into all three equations to get the z-value of −6, and the x-value of 0]; 0 = x; -6 = z

Work out the height of a parallelogram with a base of 10m and an area of 60m2
noname [10]
Area formula of a parallelogram is
        A = base x height

Given are the
Area = 60 m² and base = 10 m

 Substitute the given:

60 = 10h  (divide by 10 to find value of h)
\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10h}{10}  (10 and 10 cancels out)

h = 6
The height of a parallelogram with a base of 10m and an area of 60m² is 6m
