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

Theorem 8.3: If two angles are complementary to the same angle, then these two angles are congruent.

∠A and ∠B are complementary, and ∠C and ∠B are complementary.

Given: ∠A and ∠B are complementary, and ∠C and ∠B are complementary.

Prove: ∠A ~= ∠C.

 Statements Reasons

1. ∠A and ∠B are complementary, and ∠C and ∠B are complementary. Given

2. m∠A + m∠B = 90º , m∠C + m∠B = 90º Definition of complementary

3. m∠A = 90 º - m∠B, m∠C = 90º - m∠B Subtraction property of equality

4. m∠A = m∠C Substitution (step 3)

5. ∠A ~= ∠C Definition of ~=
