Which is a zero of the quadratic function f(x)=9x^2-54x-19?

1 answer:

8 0

A zero, or a solution of the quadratic function is c) x = 6 1/3

Write -54x as a difference
9x^2 + 3x - 57x - 19

Factor 3x out
{ 9x^2 + 3x } - 57x - 19
3x (3x + 1)

Factor -19 out
3x (3x + 1) -19 (3x + 1)

Group the equations
( 3x - 19 ) ( 3x + 1 )

Solve for the zeroes

(3x+1) = 0
-1 -1
3x = -1
3x / 3 = x
-1 / 3 = -1/3
x = - 1/3

(3x - 19) = 0
+19 +19
3x = 19
3x / 3 = x
19 / 3 = 6 1/3
x = 6 1/3

Point D is the midpoint of the outer circle that we aim to find the area of

The circle has a diameter of WZ and radii of WC and CZ

We know that YZ=YD=10 cm

Let DC be $x$ and CY be $10-x$

The radius of the outer circle can be written as $8+8+x$ or $10+10-x$ which we can equate to find the value of $x$

$8+8+x=10+10-x$
$16+x=20-x$
$2x=4$
$x=2$

Therefore, the radius of the circle is $8+8+2=18$

And hence the area of the circle is $\pi (18^{2})$ =324 $\pi$
