Step-by-step explanation:
general formula
x²-(a+b)x+(ab)
where a is alpha
and b is beta
x=-4+2/6 or x=-4-2/6
x=-1/3 or x=-1
a+b=-1/3 + -1 =-4/3
ab= -1/3 x -1 =1/3
quadratic equation
x²-(-4/3)x + 1/3=0
x² + 4/3x + 1/3=0
multiply through by 3
3x² +4x +1=0
A ratio is a comparison of two values. In this case, there are 6 boys to every 15 girls. So, this means the ratio is 6:15.
Hopefully, this helps!
