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

(n+1)^3-n^3=1+3 (n+1)n using this formulae find the cube of 999.If cube of 1000 is 1000000000.
Nastasia [14]

We use the formula: ( a - b )^3 = a^3 - b^3 - 3ab( a - b);

a = 1000; b = 1;

999^3 = 1000^3 - 1^3 - 3·1000·1( 1000 - 1 ) = 1000000000 - 1 - 3000·999 = 1000000000 - 1 - 2997000 = 997002999;

Como se multiplican polinomios
seraphim [82]
I hope you speak english, because although i understood your question I don't know enough spanish to respond in it. You multiply polynomials by multiplying each part of one polynomial by all the other parts of the others, and then adding it all. For example: (ax+b) * (x+c) = (ax*x)+(ax*c)+(b*x)+(b*c) = a x^{2}  + acx + bx+bc

In the diagram ABC is equal to DEC what is the value of x?
Hatshy [7]
\begin{gathered} \frac{25}{5}=\frac{18-x}{x} \\ 25x=(18-x)\times5 \\ 25x=90-5x \\ 25x+5x=90-5x+5x \\ 30x=90 \\ \frac{30x}{30}=\frac{90}{30} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}
