Answer:

Γ = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 8x + Γ

with a = 1, b = - 8 and c = Γ , then

sum of zeros α + β = - \frac{b}{a} = - \frac{-8}{1} = 8

product of zeros = αβ = \frac{c}{a} = Γ

Given α - β = 2 , then

(α - β)² = 2²

α² - 2αβ + β² = 4 → (1)

and

(α + β)² = 8²

α² + 2αβ + β² = 64 → (2)

Add (1) and (2) term by term

2α² + 2β² = 68 ( divide through by 2 )

α² +β² = 34

Substitute α² + β² = 34 into (1)

34 - 2αβ = 4 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

- 2αβ = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

αβ = 15

Now

αβ = Γ = 15

Thus

f(x) = x² - 8x + 15

Sam is placing rope lights around the edge of a circular patio with a diameter of 18 feet. The lights come in lengths of 54 inch
andrew-mc [135]
You can find the circumference of the circle with the circumference equals 2pir.
circumference=2pi9
circumference=18pi
circumference=56.55 feet
you can then turn the feet into inches by multiplying by 12
(56.55 feet)x(12inches/foot)=678.58 inches
then divide 678.58 inches by 54 inches to find how many light strands are needed.
(678.58 inches)/(54 inches/strand)=12.57 strands
