Given:

(ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14

And

a+b=8

Required:

To find the two possible values of c.

Explanation:

Consider

\begin{gathered} (ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14 \\ abx^2+7ax+2bx+14=15x^2+cx+14 \end{gathered}

So

\begin{gathered} ab=15-----(1) \\ 7a+2b=c \end{gathered}

And also given

a+b=8---(2)

Now from (1) and (2), we get

\begin{gathered} a+\frac{15}{a}=8 \\  \\ a^2+15=8a \\  \\ a^2-8a+15=0 \end{gathered}a=3,5

Now put a in (1) we get

\begin{gathered} (3)b=15 \\ b=\frac{15}{3} \\ b=5 \\ OR \\ b=\frac{15}{5} \\ b=3 \end{gathered}

We can interpret that either of a or b are equal to 3 or 5.

When a=3 and b=5, we have

\begin{gathered} c=7(3)+2(5) \\ =21+10 \\ =31 \end{gathered}

When a=5 and b=3, we have

\begin{gathered} c=7(5)+2(3) \\ =35+6 \\ =41 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

The option D is correct.

31 and 41

Of the last 100 customers entering a computer shop, 25 have purchased a computer. If the relative frequency method for computing
Andrej [43]

Answer: 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The relative frequency of the customers that buy computers is equal to the number of customers that bought a computer divided the total number of customers that entered the shop.

p = 25/100 = 0.25

If we take this as the probability, then the probability that the next customer that enters the shop buys a computer is 0.25 or 25%

If a vector has direction angles α = π/4 and β = π/3, find the third direction angle γ
Marat540 [252]
For a vector:
cos^2(α) + cos^2(β) + cos^2(γ) = 1

From the givens:
α = π/4, therefore, cos(α) = 1/root 2 and cos^2(<span>α) = 1/2
</span>β = π/3, therefore, cos(β) = 1/2 and cos^2(<span>β) = 1/4

Substitute in the above equation:
1/2 + 1/4 + </span>cos^2(γ) = 1
cos^2(γ) = 1 - 1/2 - 1/4
cos^2(γ) = 1/4
cos(γ) is either 1/2 or -1/2

For cos(γ)= 1/2 .......> γ = <span>π/3
For </span>cos(γ)= -1/2 .......> γ = 2π/3
