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.

Find the area of the shape above
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

625 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Break it into a rectangle on the bottom and a triangle on top

rectangle area = 50 x 8 = 400 cm^2

triangle area = 1/2 b * h = 1/2 * 50 * 9 = 225 cm^2

added together = 625 cm^2

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

<em>97.5 sq. ft.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Im presuming the question asks to find area of the shaded region.

First of all, the total figure is a rectangle. We can write an expression(in words) for the shaded area.

<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>

Now, we find respective areas.

Area of rectangle:

length * width = (5+10) * (12) = 15 * 12 = 180

Area of Small Triangle (white):

A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 5 * (12-3) = (1/2) * 5 * 9 = 22.5

Area of Large Triangle (white):

A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 10 * (12) = 60

Now, we find area of shaded region:

<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>

<em>Shaded Area = 180 - 22.5 - 60 = 97.5 sq. ft.</em>
