P = what times 4 equals 1/2 = 1/8
Answer:
product means times for e.g
Step-by-step explanation:
what is the product of 5 and 10
this means what
is 5 × 10
which equals to 50
3 - 1/8a = 1/4
The goal is to isolate "a" and its coefficient to make the simplification process easier.
Start by subtracting 3 from both sides:
3 - 3 - 1/8a = 1/4 -3
-1/8a = 1/4 - 3
Next, multiply 3 by 4/4 to convert it into a fraction:
-1/8a = 1/4 - [3 • (4/4)]
-1/8a = 1/4 - 12/4
-1/8a = - 11/4
Multiply both sides by -8:
(-8) -1/8a = - 11/4 (-8)
a = 88/4 = 22
Therefore, a = 22.
Given the quadratic function, to get the roots we factorize:
3x²-4x-7=0
3x²+3x-7x-7=0
3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
thus the roots are
x=-1 or x=3/7
thus the sum of the roots will be:
-1+3/7
=-4/7
The answer for the expression is C.
