The quadratic equation y=2x^2-px+6 has equal roots. Find the possible values of p.

1 answer:

5 0

$\Delta=0\\
\Delta=(-p)^2-4\cdot2\cdot6=p^2-48\\
p^2-48=0\\
p^2=48\\
p=\sqrt{48} \vee p=-\sqrt{48}\\
p=4\sqrt3 \vee p=-4\sqrt3

Find the area of ABC<br>Help

Katarina [22]

The value of the scale factor is 3. Then the height and area of the triangle ΔABC will be 9 ft and 54 square ft.

<h3>What is dilation?</h3>

Dilation means the changing of the size of the object without changing the shape. The size of the object may be increased or decreased based on the scale factor.

The area of the triangle ΔDEF is 6 square ft. And the base length of the triangle ΔDEF is 4 ft.

The area of the triangle is given as

$\rm Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times bh\\\\$

Then the height of the triangle ΔDEF will be

$\rm 6 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4 \times h\\\\h = \dfrac{12}{4}\\\\h = 3$

Then the scale factor will be

$\rm SF = \dfrac{12}{4} = 3$

Then the height of the triangle ΔABC will be

$\rm \dfrac{H}{3} = 3\\\\H \ = 9$

Then the area of the dilated triangle ΔABC will be

$\rm Dilated \ Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 9\\\\Dilated \ Area = 54 \ ft^2$

Joey works 20 hours a week. If he works for 10 months continually, how many hours will he have worked? (1 month = 4 weeks)

Tcecarenko [31]

800 because 20*4*10=800 which means he works 80 weeks a month for 10 months
