Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a quadratic equation, a rule known as Vieta's Theorem tells us that roots 1 and 2 (we'll call them x1 and x2) added up is equal to -b/a, and x1 multiplied by x2 is equal to c/a.  because x1-x2 is 6, and x1+x2=-b/a, which is -(-14), or 14, we can use the substitution method to find out the roots of the equation, being 4 and 10. When putting these roots into the equation, we get that 4^2-14(4)+q=0, and 10^2-14(10)+q=0. We can simplify these equations to make -40+q=0, and adding 40 on both sides gets us that q=40.

<u>To recap:</u>

Vieta's Formula:

  • root 1 + root 2 = -b/a
  • root 1 * root 2 = c/a

use substitution to find the roots

enter the roots into the quadratic equation

solve the equation!

Answer:

q=40

Step-by-step explanation:

1)To answer this question we need to remember the Vieta's or Viete's Formula to find the the roots of a quadratic expression:

ax^{2}+bx+c=0

Since x' and x'' are the roots of this equation, then we can write the Vieta's formula:

\left\{\begin{matrix}x'+x''=\frac{-b}{a} & \\ x'*x''=\frac{c}{a} & \end{matrix}\right.\\

2) As the question gives a precious information. x'-x''=6, let's replace the 2nd equation of the Vieta's formula by that and make it a Linear System.

\left\{\begin{matrix}x'+x''=\frac{14}{1} & \\ x'-x''=6 & \end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow 2x'=20\therefore x'=10

3) Solving the system:

10+x''=14\Rightarrow x''=14-10\Rightarrow x''=4

4) Since we have a=1:

x^{2}-14x+q=0

Then we can make q as the parameter c.

q=x'*x''=4*10\therefore q=40

x^{2}-14x+40=0

The Board of Directors of a small company consists of five people. Two of those directors are considered "strong leaders". If th
Pavel [41]
1: 40%
2: 30%
3: 20%

If we know one of the succeeded, then 
1: 44.44%
2: 33.33%
3: 22.22%

If under the circumstance that they all fail to meet a strong leader, the board picks one of them at random,
1: 43.33%
2: 33.33%
3: 23.33%

The first person has a 2 in 5 chance of randomly getting a strong leader. If the first person doesn't find a strong leader, the second person has a 2/4 chance of getting a strong leader. If neither the first nor second person gets a strong leader, the third sales person has a 2/3 chance of getting a strong leader.

1: 2/5=40% Chance
2: (3/5)*(2/4)=30% Chance You have to take the probability the first rep failed to get a strong leader, then multiply by the probability the second rep gets a strong leader.
3: (3/5)*(2/4)*(2/3)=20% You have to take the probability both the other people failed, then multiply by the probability they succeeded.
