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.

Answer: B. Line AC is congruent to line BD

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem states that two right triangles are congruent if and only if the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of the other right triangle.

Since they both share Leg DC, their hypotenuse should be congruent to use this proof.

4. The chart above shows the results of survey taken by a movie theater. The theater asked what genre the mover goers preferred
givi [52]

The Cost of operating the theater if there are 100 people at a show is 20,000Rs.

The theater is a place where the movies are shown on big screens and Speakers are used for the clear audio of the movie.

In a theater, there will be 3 to 4 shows for a movie or a different movie.

Theater can consist of 250 - 300 seats and can cost up to 250rs for a seat.

<h3>What is the meaning of cost?</h3>

The average cost of a college education has gone up dramatically.

Consider a ticket cost of 200rs.

For 100 people in a show,

Cost = 200 × 100

Cost = 20,000.

Hence the cost of operating a theater if there are 100 people at a show is 20,000Rs.

Which equation can be used to solve for the measure of angle abc? tan(x) = startfraction 2.4 over 10 endfraction tan(x) = startf
Len [333]

The equation can be used to solve for the measure of angle abc is sinx = 2.4/10.3

<h3 /><h3>SOH CAH TOA identity</h3>

The identity is used to find the measure of sides and acute angles of a right triangle

From the diagram shown, <ABC is the reference abgle hence;

Opposite side = 2,4cm

Hypotenuse .=10.3cm

According to the identity

sin x = opp/hyp

sinx = 2.4/10.3
sinx = 0.233

x =  13.47 degrees

Hence the equation can be used to solve for the measure of angle abc is sinx = 2.4/10.3

The midpoint of a circle is (3,2), the
Marysya12 [62]

yo sup??

mid point of circle=centre of circle

let centre be O(3,2)

and the point be P(-4,8) and the other point be Q(x,y)

by mid point formula

-4+x/2=3 and 8+y/2=2

x=10 and y=-4

therefore coordinates of the other point are (10,-4)

Hope this helps.
