\bf \stackrel{\textit{initial length of the snake at 0 months, a = 0}}{L=\cfrac{7}{4}(0+5)\implies L=\cfrac{35}{4}\implies L=8.75}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{length of the snake at 5 months, a = 5}}{L=\cfrac{7}{4}(5+5)\implies L=\cfrac{70}{4}\implies L=17.5}

since the snake is 8.75 inches originally, over the next 5 months it grew to 17.5, so the difference of 17.5 - 8.75 = 8.75, meaning the snake really grew only 8.75 inches over the 5 months, from its original 8.75 inches in length.

It's asking how long does a garden snake grow over 5 months instead of the length of the five-month-old garden snake. So the calculation is L=7/4*5=8.75. If it's hard to understand, try subtract the length of the snake when it's 1 month old from the length of the snake when it's 6 months old. You'll get the same answer.

Find the value of a and of b for which<br>(a) the solution of x2 + ax &lt; b is<br>-2&lt;x &lt; 4​
KengaRu [80]

Answer: a = -2

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x^{2} +ax

re - writing the equation , we have

x^{2} +ax-b

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

x^{2} - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

x^{2} -2x-8=0 , which could be written in inequality form as

x^{2} -2x-8

comparing with x^{2} +ax-b , it means that :

a = -2

b = 8
