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.

2) In 1000 sq. meter of land a farmer cultivated 765 kg of rice with the wastage of 23.5%. I) Find the weight of the wastage. II
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Weight of wastage=179.775kg

weight of rice cultivated= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated=76.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of land=100 square meters

Cultivated rice=765kg

Wastage=23.5%

1) Weight of the wastage=23.5% of 765kg

=23.5/100 × 765

=17977.5 / 100

=179.775 kg

2) Weight and percentage of rice cultivated.

weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg

= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5

= 76.5%

3) if area is increased 40 times in size

New area=1000 square meters × 40

=40,000 square meters

Cultivated rice= 765kg × 40

=30,600 kg

Cultivated rice excluding wastage=585.225 kg × 40

=23,409 kg
