8x^2 - 16x - 15 = 0

x = [ -(-16) +/- sqrt((-16)^2 - 4*8*-15) / ] 2*8

= 2.696, -0.696

Answer:

The zeroes of the given polynomial f(x) are

x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quadratic function f(x)=8x^2-16x-15

To find : What are the zeros of the quadratic function?

Solution :

Using quadratic formula of the general equation ax^2+bx+c=0 to get the roots is x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Comparing the given quadratic equation,

a = 8, b = -16  and  c = - 15.

Substitute the value in the formula,

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-(-16)\pm\sqrt{(-16)^2-4\times 8\times (-15)}}{2\times 8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm\sqrt{256+480}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm\sqrt{786}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm4\sqrt{46}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{46}}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{46}{16}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}.

Therefore, The zeroes of the given polynomial f(x) are

x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}

A rectangular plot of farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric f
likoan [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.

The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,

x+2y = 1500

x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)

We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :

A = xy ....(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

A=(1500-2y)y\\\\A=1500y-2y^2 .....(3)

For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.

\dfrac{dA}{dy}=\dfrac{d}{dy}(1500y-2y^2)\\\\=1500-4y\\\\\text{Put}\ \dfrac{dA}{dy}=0\\\\1500-4y=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1500}{4}\\\\=375

Put the value of y in equation (1).

x = 1500-2(375)

= 750 m

Put the value of y in equation (3).

A =1500(375)-2(375)^2\\A=281250\ m^2

Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.
