The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: $3x^2+10x+c =0$

A quadratic equation is in the form: $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}$

Simplify:

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is $4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

i.e,

$x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}$

Here,

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ , ......[2]

$x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ .....[3]

then;

$\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}$

simplify:

$\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}$

or

$\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14$

Squaring both sides we get;

$100-12c = 196$

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

$100-12c -100= 196-100$

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve $x_1 , x_2$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}$

Now, to solve for $x_2$ ;

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_2 = -2$

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: $-\frac{4}{3}$ and -2.

Mark read 2 1/2 books last week. This week he read 3 1/3 books. How many more books did Mark read this week and last week?

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

5/6 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mark read 2 1/2 books last week. This week, he read a bit more with 3 1/3 books.

To find how many more books he read, we must subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/3:

3 1/3 - 2 1/2

Let's convert these into improper fractions first:

3 1/3 = (3 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3

2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2

Now, we have:

10/3 - 5/2

In order to subtract these, we must find a common denominator. For 2 and 3, the LCM is 6, so we can use that as our common denominator:

10/3 * 2/2 = 20/6

5/2 * 3/3 = 15/6

Finally, we have:

20/6 - 15/6 = (20 - 15) / 6 = 5/6 books
