Which quadratic equation has roots - 2 and 1/5 :

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

$5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$sum \: of roots = - 2 + \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{8}{5} \\ product \: of \: roots = - 2 \times \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{2}{5} \\ from \: general \: equation \\ a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + \frac{8}{5} x \: - \frac{2}{5} = 0 \\ 5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$

A rectangular parking lot must have a perimeter of 440 feet and an area of at least 8000 square feet. Describe the possible leng

tangare [24]

Answer:

The possible parking lengths are 45.96 feet and 174.031 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of rectangular plot and y be the breadth of rectangular plot

A rectangular parking lot must have a perimeter of 440 feet

Perimeter of rectangular plot =2(l+b)=2(x+y)=440

2(x+y)=440

x+y=220

y=220-x

We are also given that an area of at least 8000 square feet.

So, $xy \leq 8000$

So, $x(220-x) \leq 8000$

$220x-x^2 \leq 8000$

So, $220x-x^2 = 8000\\-x^2+220x-8000=0$

General quadratic equation : $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Formula : $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-220 \pm \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=\frac{-220 + \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)} , \frac{-220 - \sqrt{220^2-4(-1)(-8000)}}{2(-1)}\\x=45.96,174.031$

So, The possible parking lengths are 45.96 feet and 174.031 feet

In mathematical notation, ∑ means summation. So wherever you see the symbol, you have to sum over all elements in the set. Let's solve the question.

a. ∑m means, to sum all elements in the set m: ∑m = 12 + 15 + 20 + 30 = 77

b. ∑ $f^{2}$ means to sum all elements in the set f as the square of the elements f = $5^{2} + 9^{2} + 10^{2} + 16^{2} = 25 + 81 + 100 + 256 = 462$

c. ∑mf means to sum all elements as the product of the elements of m and f = (12×5) + (15×9) + (20 $(12^{2}(5)) + (15^{2}(9)) + (20^{2}(10)) + (30^{2}(16)) = 21145$ 10) + (30×16) = 875

d. ∑ $m^{2}f$ means to sum all elements as the product of the square of m and f = $((12*12)(5)) + ((15*15)(9)) + ((20*20)(10)) + ((30*30)(16)) = 21145$
