x = the age of Heather

One half of Heather's age two years from now plus one-third of her age three years ago is twenty years

(x + 2)/2 + (x - 3)/3 = 20

by solving the equation we find

x = 24 years

What is the zero in the quadratic function f(x)= 9x^2-54x-19?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

6.33... and 0.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is

$x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ .

It is important because while some quadratics are factorable and can be solved not all are. The formula will solve all quadratic equations and can also give both real and imaginary solutions. Using the formula will require less work than finding the factors if factorable. We will substitute a=9, b=-54 and c=-19.

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-54)+/-\sqrt{(-54)^2-4(9)(-19)} }{2(9)}\\x=\frac{54+/-\sqrt{2916+684} }{18}$
