What is the product of the 2 solutions of the equation x^2+3x-21=0

1 answer:

3 0

X²+3x-21=0

1) we solve this square equation:
x=[-3⁺₋√(9+84)] / 2=(-3⁺₋√93)/2
We have two solutions:
x₁=(-3-√93)/2
x₂=(-3+√93)/2

2) we compute the product of the 2 solutions found.
[(-3-√93)/2][(-3+√93)/2] =(-3-√93)(-3+√93) / 4=
=(9-93)/4=-84/4=-21

Answer: the product of the 2 solutions of this equation is -21

Find the difference when the polynomial -5x^2+3x+8 is subtracted from the polynomial 2x^2+4x+1.

geniusboy [140]

The difference is $7x^{2} + 1x-7$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The polynomial $-5x^{2}+3x+8$ is subtracted from the polynomial $2x^{2} + 4x +1$ .

If we write this as an equation, we get

$(2x^{2} + 4x +1) -(-5x^{2}+3x+8)$ .

To subtract the polynomials, we group up the terms based on their variables.

In this subtraction, there are two variables i.e. $x^{2}$ and $x$ and there is one constant term.

Step 2:

The subtraction of the $x^{2}$ variables; $2x^{2} -(-5x^{2} ) = 2x^{2} +5x^{2} = 7x^{2}$ .

The subtraction of the $x$ variables; $4x - (3x) = 1x$ .

The subtraction of the constants; $1-(8) = -7$ .

So $(2x^{2} + 4x +1) -(-5x^{2}+3x+8) = 7x^{2} + 1x-7$ .

How would you prove this trigonomic identity? Please show steps.

Agata [3.3K]

Start by combining the fractions:

$\dfrac{\cos\alpha}{1+\sin\alpha}\cdot\dfrac{1-\sin\alpha}{1-\sin\alpha}+\dfrac{\cos\alpha}{1-\sin\alpha}\cdot\dfrac{1+\sin\alpha}{1+\sin\alpha}$

$\dfrac{\cos\alpha(1-\sin\alpha)+\cos\alpha(1+\sin\alpha)}{(1+\sin\alpha)(1-\sin\alpha)}$

$\dfrac{2\cos\alpha}{1-\sin^2\alpha}$

Recall the Pythagorean identity:

$\dfrac{2\cos\alpha}{\cos^2\alpha}$

Then cancel a factor of $\cos\alpha$ and use the definition of secant:

$\dfrac2{\cos\alpha}=\boxed{2\sec\alpha}$
