Use the Quadratic formula to find all real zeros of the 2nd degree polynomial

Answer:

  x ∈ {-5, -1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the solution using the quadratic formula:

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{24^2-4\cdot 4\cdot 20}}{2\cdot 4}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{576-320}}{8}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{256}}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm 16}{8}=-3\pm 2=\{-5,-1\}

The real zeros are -5 and -1.

_____

There are many ways to check your answer. One of them is to look at the given quadratic, which has no changes of sign in its coefficients. (They are all positive.) That means there can be no positive real roots, so already you know that x=0.5 won't work.

Also, the constant in the quadratic is the product of the roots, For your roots, their product is -7/4, so even multiplying by 4 (the leading coefficient in the given quadratic), you don't get anything like 20.

Answer:

The ratios are both identical. (4 over 5 and 4 over 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Th picture below represent the image you are referring.

sin x = opposite / hypotenuse

opposite side = 4

hypotenuse = 5

sin x° = 4/5

cos y° = adjacent/hypotenuse

adjacent = 4

hypotenuse = 5

cos y° = 4/5

The ratios are both identical (4 over 5 and 4 over 5)
