2 because if you have a square and draw a diagonal you get two triangles
X = 0 ; y = 10 ; 10 = a(0) + b(0) + c
c = 10
x=2 ; y = 15 ; 15 = a(4) + b(2) + 10 ; 5 = 4a+2b
x=4 ; y=18 ; 18 = a(16) + b(4) + 10 ; 8 = 16a + 4b
2(5) = (4a+2b)2
-
<u> 8 = 16a + 4b
</u> 2 = -8a
a = -0.25
b = 2
y = (1/4)x^2 + 2x + 10 ; 4y = x^2 + 8x + 40
The total money is $2,178
Answer: The answer is ![\textup{The other root is }\dfrac{8}{3}~\textup{and}q=40.Step-by-step explanation: The given quadratic equation is[tex]3x^2+7x-q=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-\dfrac{7}{3}x-\dfrac{q}{3}=0.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctextup%7BThe%20other%20root%20is%20%7D%5Cdfrac%7B8%7D%7B3%7D~%5Ctextup%7Band%7Dq%3D40.%3C%2Fstrong%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%3Cstrong%3EStep-by-step%20explanation%3A%20%20%3C%2Fstrong%3EThe%20given%20quadratic%20equation%20is%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%5Btex%5D3x%5E2%2B7x-q%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20x%5E2-%5Cdfrac%7B7%7D%7B3%7Dx-%5Cdfrac%7Bq%7D%7B3%7D%3D0.)
Also given that -5 is one of the roots, we are to find the other root and the value of 'q'.
Let the other root of the equation be 'p'. So, we have
and
Thus, the other root is 
and the value of 'q' is 40.
The LCD (least common denominator) is the lowest number that both denominators (12 and 5) go into. The lowest number that both 5 and 12 go into is 60. The LCD of the two fractions is 60.
