6x^2+x-2=6x^2+4x-3x-2=2x(3x+2)-1(3x+2)\\\\=(3x+2)(2x-1)\\\\3x+2=0\to x=-\frac{2}{3}\\\\2x-1=0\to x=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha=-\frac{2}{3};\ \beta=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=\frac{-\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}+\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{2}{3}}=-\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{2}{1}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{4}{3}-\frac{3}{4}\\\\=-\frac{16}{12}-\frac{9}{12}=-\frac{25}{12}=-2\frac{1}{12}


use\ Vieta's\ formula:\\\\\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=\frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2}{\alpha\beta}=\frac{\alpha^2+2\alpha\beta+\beta^2-2\alpha\beta}{\alpha\beta}=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^2-2\alpha\beta}{\alpha\beta}=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^2}{\alpha\beta}-2\\\\\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a};\ \alpha\beta=\frac{c}{a}\\\\\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^2}{\alpha\beta}-2=\frac{\left(\frac{-b}{a}\right)^2}{\frac{c}{a}}-2=\frac{b^2}{a^2}\cdot\frac{a}{c}-2=\frac{b^2}{ac}-2

6x^2+x-2\\\\a=6;\ b=1;\ c=-2\\\\\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=\frac{1^2}{6\cdot(-2)}-2=\frac{1}{-12}-2=-2\frac{1}{12}

The picture has the question.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: 180 tickets for $40

Step-by-step explanation:

    To answer this question, we need to find a pattern;

15 / 3 = 5

60 / 15 = 4

-> If you divide, we find a pattern of the quotient with 5... 4... so we can assume the next is 3

    Using this pattern;

60 * 3 = 180 tickets for $40

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the sale price of a ticket from Austin to Phoenix for someone under 12

we know that

100%-65%=35%=35/100=0.35

so

x=0.35*($142.00)

x=$49.70
