Prove that if one solution for a quadratic equation of theform x2 + bx + c = 0 is rational (where b and c are rational),then the

other solution is also rational. (Use the factthat if the solutions of the equation are r and s, thenx2 + bx + c = (x − r )(x − s).)

Answer:

The other solution of the given equation x² + bx + c = 0   is also rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given: ax² + bx + c = 0 is a quadratic equation

Also, one solution  (r)  of equation is RATIONAL.

To show: The other solution (s)  is also RATIONAL

Now, here: as x² + bx + c = 0

Since r and s are the two given solutions, the given equation can be factorized as:

x² + bx + c =  (x -r) (x - s)

Simplifying LHS, we get:

(x -r) (x - s) = x x - r (x) - s (x) +  (r)(s)

                 =  x² + x(-r - s) +  rs

or, x² + bx + c = x² + x(-r - s) +  rs

Comparing the related terms, we get:

b =  (-r - s)    

⇒  b +  s = - r

or, s  = -r - b

Now, given : r = Rational  and the negative of a rational is also rational.

⇒  -r is also rational

Also, difference of two rational number is also rational.

⇒ -r - b is also rational

⇒ s is a RATIONAL NUMBER

Hence, the other solution of the given equation x² + bx + c = 0   is also rational number.

Help pls I don’t understand this my teacher didn’t teach this
aev [14]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The tip of the triangle's angle is 100 (b/c 180-80)

x + 100 + 20 = 180

x + 120 = 180

x = 60

how so you solve 5x+27=9(x+3)-4x and is this a conditional equation, an identity, or an inconsistent equation
Vikentia [17]

To solve this, follow these steps:

5x + 27 = 9 (x+3) - 4x

Distribute the 9 within the parenthesis:

5x + 27 = 9x + 27 - 4x

Then combine like terms:

5x + 27 = 5x + 27

These two then cancel each other out completely.

This is an identity because an identity in math is when both equations equal each other, which is shown above.

Hope this helps!

A football team was training for four hours. During the first hour, they practiced for 5/8 of an hour. During the second hour, t
Leviafan [203]

Answer: 2 19/24 hours was spent in practising.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the first hour, they practiced for 5/8 of an hour. During the second hour, they practiced for 2/3 of an hour. This means that the total time for which they practiced in the first 2 hours would be

5/8 + 2/3 = 31/24 hours

During the last two hours, they first practiced for 3/5 of an hour, took a 1/2 hour break and then practiced the rest of the time. This means that the rest of the time for which they practiced is

2 - (3/5 + 1/2) = 2 - 11/10 = 9/10

Therefore, the time they spent practicing in total would be

31/24 + 3/5 + 9/10 = 67/24 =

2 19/24 hours

The perimeter of a triangle is 42 yards. The first side is 5 yards less than the second side, and the third side is 2 yards less
Maru [420]
Let the second side be equal to x Then the first side is x-5 The third side will be x-5-2 = x-7 Therefore you add all the following sides and equate it to 42 yards. Ie x+x+5+x-7 = 42 3x=44 X= 44/3 Therefore the second sides length is 44/3 The first sides length is 44/3 -5 = 29/3 The third side is 44/3 -7 = 23/3
