What is the sum of 20x^2-10x-30

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The sum of the roots is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

What is the sum of the roots of 20x^2-10x-30

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

The sum of the roots is equal to

$-\frac{b} {a}$

in this problem we have

$20x^{2} -10x-30=0$

$a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30$

substitute

$-\frac{(-10)} {20}=0.5$

Verify

Find the roots of the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation is equal to

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

$a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30$

substitute

$x=\frac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{-10^{2}-4(20)(-30)}} {2(20)}$

$x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{2,500}} {40}$

$x=\frac{10\pm50} {40}$

$x=\frac{10+50} {40}=1.5$

$x=\frac{10-50} {40}=-1$

The roots are x=-1 and x=1.5

The sum of the roots are

$-1+1.5=0.5$ ----> is ok

Solve x2 + 8x − 3 = 0 using the completing-the-square method.

lisabon 2012 [21]

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\------------------\\\\x^2+8x-3=0\ \ \ |add\ 3\ to\ both\ sides\\\\x^2+2x\cdot4=3\ \ \ |add\ 4^2\ to\ both\ sides\\\\x^2+2x\cdot4+4^2=3+4^2\\\\(x+4)^2=3+16\\\\(x+4)^2=19\iff x+4=-\sqrt{19}\ or\ x+4=\sqrt{19}\\|subtract\ 4\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{x=-4-\sqrt{19}\ or\ x=-4+\sqrt{19}}$

ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST HELP PLEASE

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The solution to the system of equation is (1, 4).

In order to find this, we can first just see where the graphs intersect each other. This will give us the solution set.

As for what it represents, the x value in the increase in temperature and the y value is the increase in customers.

Therefore, we know that we want the temperature to go up by 1 (although we don't know the units) and that would result in the amount of people coming, and staying longer by 4 (again, we don't know the units of measure).
