Find the roots of the quadratic equation 3x2 − 12x − 60 = 0

1 answer:

3 0

3x²-12x-60=0
simplify by dividing by 3: x²-4x-20=0
cannot be factored, use the quadratic formula: √(b²-4ac)=√[(-4)²-4*1*(-20)]=√96=4√6
x=2+2√2 or x=2-2√2

Brody added a fraction to 5/6 to get 31/30. Use the equation a/b + c/d = (ad +bc)/ bd to find the fraction he added

sashaice [31]

The fraction he added is 6/30, or 1/5.
I'm not 100% sure about the equation you want me to use but I did the work this way:

5/6+x/30=31/30 (the denominator has to equal 30 because you are adding. You need a common denominator which is why you need to change 5/6. We can label the numerator as a hidden value x)

25/30+x=31/30

You can then work backwards and basically subtract 25 from 31 and get 6; so x=6

Verify:<br>cos(2A)=(cotA-tanA)/cscAsecA

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identities

cot A = $\frac{cosA}{sinA}$ , tanA = $\frac{sinA}{cosA}$ , cscA = $\frac{1}{sinA}$ , secA = $\frac{1}{cosA}$
