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

substitution:

34=2(15-p)+4p

p=2

plug back in to other equation

Question 7(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (08.02 LC) Eva conducted a survey to find out the amount of time high schoolers spend
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option B".

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between most time and also the least spending time on Internet surfing is 3 hours. Since we do not have charts for tables etc., only 3 can be used we need. A range is defined as the difference between the largest and the smallest amounts. The range between both the largest as well as the smallest is unique. In this reply, it tells us that the gap between most time and the fewer hours invested surfing the web is 3 hours.

  • In option A, it is wrong since the range has nothing to do with formulas. (Of course, the dividend with a divisor results in a quotient). Only subtraction and not division may be achieved.
  • In option C, when all surf for exactly one hour, it could take the largest time of 3 hours and 3 hours, the last time. Add it into the equation and the range of the data present would've been 0.
  • In option D, It is erroneous even as the range is not the mean, and the mean seems to be the average. We search for both the range, not the mean.
