Find the roots

solve
we use hmm, completing the suare
2(x²-1.5x)=4
divide both sides by 2
x²-1.5x=2
take 1/2 of linear coeiftn and square it
-1.5/2=-0.75, (-0.75)²=0.5625
add that to both sides
x²-1.5x+0.5625=2+0.5625
factor perfect squaer trinomial
(x-0.75)²=2.5625
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative square roots
x-0.75=+/-√2.5625
add 0.75 to both sides
x=0.75+/-√2.5625

the roots are x=0.75+√2.5625 and x=0.75-√2.5625

1/a and 1/b
1/(0.75+√2.5625) and 1/(0.75-√2.5625)

if the roots of a quadratic equation are r1 and r2 then it factors to
(x-r1)(x-r2)
so then we can factor our equation to be
(x-\frac{1}{0.75+\sqrt{2.5625}})(x-\frac{1}{0.75-\sqrt{2.5625}})

if we were to try and expand it, we would get
x²+0.75x-0.5
that's the simpliest equation with roots 1/a and 1/b where a and b are he roots of 2x²-3x=4


x²+0.75x-0.5 is answer

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.
The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent.
Just like the bottom left angle measures x, the bottom right angle also measures x.

x + x + 38 = 180

2x + 38 = 180

2x = 142

x = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = πd where

d is the diameter of the circle

Given

diameter = 22metres

circumference of the circle = 3.14(22)

circumference of the circle  = 69.08m

Hence the circumference of the circle is 69.08m
