Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

So I'm going to use vieta's formula.

Let u and v the zeros of the given quadratic in ax^2+bx+c form.

By vieta's formula:

1) u+v=-b/a

2) uv=c/a

We are also given not by the formula but by this problem:

3) u+v=uv

If we plug 1) and 2) into 3) we get:

-b/a=c/a

Multiply both sides by a:

-b=c

Here we have:

a=3

b=-(3k-2)

c=-(k-6)

So we are solving

-b=c for k:

3k-2=-(k-6)

Distribute:

3k-2=-k+6

Add k on both sides:

4k-2=6

Add 2 on both side:

4k=8

Divide both sides by 4:

k=2

Let's check:

3x^2-(3k-2)x-(k-6) \text{ with }k=2:

3x^2-(3\cdot 2-2)x-(2-6)

3x^2-4x+4

I'm going to solve 3x^2-4x+4=0 for x using the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\frac{4\pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(3)(4)}}{2(3)}

\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16-16(3)}}{6}

\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16}\sqrt{1-(3)}}{6}

\frac{4\pm 4\sqrt{-2}}{6}

\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{-2}}{3}

\frac{2\pm 2i\sqrt{2}}{3}

Let's see if uv=u+v holds.

uv=\frac{2+2i\sqrt{2}}{3} \cdot \frac{2-2i\sqrt{2}}{3}

Keep in mind you are multiplying conjugates:

uv=\frac{1}{9}(4-4i^2(2))

uv=\frac{1}{9}(4+4(2))

uv=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}

Let's see what u+v is now:

u+v=\frac{2+2i\sqrt{2}}{3}+\frac{2-2i\sqrt{2}}{3}

u+v=\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

We have confirmed uv=u+v for k=2.

<u>Solution</u><u>:</u>

\sqrt{4x + 13}  = x + 2

  • First square both sides.

=  > ( \sqrt{4x + 13} ) ^{2}  = (x + 2) ^{2}

  • Now, square root and square gets cancel out in the LHS. And in the RHS, apply the identity: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².

=  > 4x + 13 =  {(x)}^{2}  + 2 \times x \times 2 + (2) ^{2} \\  =  > 4x + 13 =  {x}^{2}   + 4x + 4

  • Now, transpose 4x and 4 to LHS.

=  > 4x - 4x + 13 - 4 =  {x}^{2}  \\

  • Now, do the addition and subtraction.

=  >  {x}^{2}  = 9 \\  =  >  x =  \sqrt{9}  \\  =  > x = ±3

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<u>x </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>±</u><u> </u><u>3</u>

Hope you could understand.

Find the volume of a cube with side length of 7 in.
anastassius [24]

Answer: 343 in³

Explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the volume of a cube.

It's important to understand that a cube is a type of rectangular prism and the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is shown below.

<em>Volume = length × width × height</em>

In a cube however, the length, width, and height are all the same. So we can use the formula side × side × side instead.

So the formula for the volume of a cube is side × side × side or s³.

So to find the volume of the given cube, since each side has a length of 7 inches, we can plug this information into the formula to get (7 in.)³ or (7 in.)(7 in.)(7 in).

7 x 7 is 49 and 49 x 7 is 343.

So we have 343 in³.

So the volume of the given cube is 343 in³.
