Answer:

(a+2)(b+2) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following quadratic equation:

2x^2-3x-6=0

Let a a and b be the solution of the given quadratic equation.

Solving the equation:

2x^2-3x-6=0\\\text{Using the quadratic formula}\\\\x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{Comparing the equation to }ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\\text{We have}\\a = 2\\b = -3\\c = -6\\x = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{9-4(2)(-6)}}{4} = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{57}}{4}\\\\a = \dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}, b = \dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}

We have to find the value of (a+2)(b+2).

Putting the values:

(a+2)(b+2)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{11+\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{11-\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\\\\=\dfrac{121-57}{156} = \dfrac{64}{16} = 4

If triangle ABC is isosceles and triangle DBE is equilateral what is the measure of angle C
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

43°

Step-by-step explanation:

For triangle ABC:

A = C so all we need to do is to calculate the value of B

The measure of angle ABD is given as 17° so the measure of angle EBC must be 17° as well

Since DBE is an equilateral triangle angle is DBE = 60°

17 + 17 + 60 = 94 this is the measure of angle B

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180

A + B + C = 180

A + C + 94 = 180

A + C = 86 since A = C we divide 86 by 2

C = 43°

Find the multiplicative inverse of -2 in mod 7<br>​
Elis [28]

Answer:

  1. So something mod 7 is -2
  2. Lets consider what mod does as a commands: If you have 7 and then mod it by 2 ie 7%2 you get 1
  3. Essentially mod is seeing how many times a # goes into the other number and finding the remainder.
  4. In this case we want the remainder of 2: -8%3 =-2
  5. note there is also a mathematical procedural way to solve this.

Find the area also if you can do a step by step explanation thanks
Harman [31]

Answer:

50 cm squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is multiply the 5 (which is the height) times 10 (which is the base).

The volume of a parallelogram is base times height.

so, 5 times 10 = 50
