What is the sum of the solutions for 6x^2 − x − 2 = 0?

Mathematics

Eddi Din [679]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The sum is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

This factors into

Factors

(3x - 2)(2x + 1) = 0

<em><u>First root</u></em>

3x - 2 = 0

3x = 2

x = 2/3

===============

<em><u>Second Root</u></em>

2x + 1 = 0

2x = 1

2x = - 1

x = - 1/2

===============

The two roots are 2/3 and - 1/2

When you add these two together, you get

2/3 - 1/2 = 4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

The two roots add up to 1/6

Find the surface area of each figure to the nearest tenth.
Stells [14]
For the cylinder on the left-hand-side,

\bf \textit{surface area of a cylinder}\\\\&#10;S=2\pi r(h+r)\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;r=radius\\&#10;h=height\\&#10;------\\&#10;h=10\\&#10;r=5&#10;\end{cases}\implies S=2\pi (5)(10+5)

now, for the triangular prism on the right-hand-side,

notice is really just 2 triangles and 3 rectangles, stacked  up to each other at the edges.

the triangles have a base of 4, and a height of 1.5.

the rectangle on the left and the one on the right is a 6x2.5 rectangle.

the rectangle at the bottom, is a 4x6 rectangle.

adding their areas, is the area of the prism,

\bf \stackrel{two~triangles}{2\left[\cfrac{1}{2}(4)(1.5)  \right]}+\stackrel{left-right~rectangles}{2(6\cdot 2.5)}+\stackrel{bottom~rectangle}{4\cdot 6}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;6~~+~~30~~+~~24

First lets get the ratio for the avocado and pear trees and work from there
We know there are 5 pear trees for every 2 avocado trees or 5:2

Since we know the total Avocado trees is 18 we can find out how much to multiply the ratio by dividing the total number of trees(18) by the Avocado portion of the ratio (2) 18/2 = 9. 

This means to get the total number of pear trees we need to also multiply the pear side of the ratio (5) by 9.  5*9 = 45 pear trees

Now that we know the pear trees we do the same thing with the apple and pear trees to figure out the total apple trees.  The ratio of apple to pear trees is 4:3.

Since we know the total number of pear trees is 45 we divide that by the pear side of the ratio (3) to get our multiplier.  45/3=15. 

We then multiply our apple side of the ratio (4) by our multiplier (15) to get our total number of apple trees.  4*15=60

Now we know that we have 60 apple trees and 18 avocado trees or 60:18 which reduced is 10:3  apple trees:avocado trees
