Let the numbers be x and y. Then xy = -30 and x+y = -3.
Solve xy = -30 for y: y = -30/x
subst. -30/x for y in x+y= -3: x - 30/x = -3
Multiply all 3 terms by x: x^2 - 30 = -3x, so x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Solve this quadratic equation for x. x: {-5, 2}
If x = -5, then x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.
You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct. If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
Answer:
(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the zero product property
x-a = 0 x-b = 0 where a and b are the zeros
(x-a)(x-b) =0
(x- -3)(x -8) =0
(x+3) (x-8) =0
Answer:
5% compounded quarterly equals (1.0125)^4 -1=0.0509453369140625 or 5.09453369140625 % APR
250*(1.0125)^20=$320.51 at the end of 5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2 + 4x + 8 = 0
( x + 2 ) ( x + 2 ) = 0
i am a mathematics teacher. if anything to ask please pm me
<span>-6x-3y=18
Substitute 0 for y
-6x-3(0)=18
Multply -3 by 0
-6x=18
Divide both sides by -6 so that the only thing on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x= -3</span>
