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

Mathematics
1 answer:
schepotkina [342]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Both triangles are similar. The area of the larger triangle is about 382 ft2. Which is the best approximation for the area of th
melisa1 [442]

Answer: SECOND OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find the ratio of the sides of the triangle, as following:

r=\frac{30}{42}=\frac{5}{7}

Therefore, the ratio of the areas is:

r_A=(\frac{5}{7})^{2}\\\\r_A=\frac{25}{49}

Now you must multiply the area of the larger triangle by the ratio obtained above, therefore, you have that the result is:

A_s=(382ft^{2})(\frac{25}{49})=194.89ft^{2}≈195ft^{2}
