Answer:
(3y - 2)(2y - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factorise the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term
Product = 6 × 14 = 84 and sum = - 25
The required factors are - 4 and - 21
Use these factors to split the y- term
6y² - 4y - 21y + 14 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2y(3y - 2) - 7(3y - 2) ← factor out (3y - 2) from each term
= (3y - 2)(2y - 7) ← in factored form
Answer 4
4multiplyed by 4 is 16
<h3>Answer:</h3>
±12 (two answers)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:
(<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4
<em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4
<em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2
Then the other root is
-3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs
We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...
-(a + (-3a)) = b/4
2a = b/4
b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)
b = ±12
_____
<em>Check</em>
For b = 12, the equation factors as ...
4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0
It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
For b = -12, the equation factors as ...
4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0
It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
Answer:
12 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure with the given area is twice as big as the small figure and these are similar figures. Therefore we divide 24/2 = 12
