Suppose one of the roots is a the second is 2a. The factors will be:
(x-a) and (x-2a)
thus
(x-a)(x-2a)=x^2+6x+q
x^2-xa-2ax+2a^2=x^2+6x+q
taking corresponding terms we shall have:
-2ax=6x
solving for a we get
-2a=6
thus
a=-3
but
q=2a^2
substituting the value of a we get:
q=2(-3)^2
q=2*9
q=18

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this is independent

20/50= 2/5= 40% of getting pink, probability of getting 2= 20%

13/50=0.26= 26% of getting blue, probability of getting 2= 13%

17/50=0.34=34% of getting purple, probability of getting 2 = 17%

70%

If f(x)=1/6x+12, then f^-1(x)=<br> PLEASE HELP

Finger [1]

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{6}x+12\to y=\dfrac{1}{6}x+12$

Change x to y, and y to x.

$x=\dfrac{1}{6}y+12$

solve for y:

$\dfrac{1}{6}y+12=x\ \ \ |-12\\\\\dfrac{1}{6}y=x-12\ \ \ \ |\cdot6\\\\y=6x-72$

Your answer is:

$f^{-1}(x)=6x-72$
