Answer:
The sum of the roots is 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>
What is the sum of the roots of 20x^2-10x-30
we know that
In a quadratic equation of the form
The sum of the roots is equal to
in this problem we have
so
substitute
<u><em>Verify</em></u>
Find the roots of the quadratic equation
The formula to solve a quadratic equation is equal to
substitute
The roots are x=-1 and x=1.5
The sum of the roots are
----> is ok
General Idea:
When we are given a point P(x, y) centered at origin with a scale factor of k, then the dilated point will be given by P' (kx, ky)
Applying the concept:
In the diagram given, the coordinate of C is (6, 3). Triangle ABC is being dilated with the center of dilation at the origin. The image of C, point C' has coordinates of (7.2, 3.6).
If C (x, y) centered at origin with a scale factor of k, then the dilated point will be given by C' (kx, ky)
We know &
Substituting 6 for x in the equation , we get
.
Dividing 6 on both sides
Simplifying fractions on both sides
Point A from the diagram is (-3, 3)
x-coordinate of A' =
y-coordinate of A' =
Point A' is given by (-3.6, 3.6)
Conclusion:
<u>Scale factor of dilation is 1.2</u>
<u>The coordinates of point A' is (-3.6, 3.6)</u>
