Let x = # of computers sold by Sam; then 5x = # of computers sold by Julius

 

our equation becomes x + 5x = 78

 

which becomes 6x = 78

 

solving, x = 13 which is the # of computers sold by Sam

 

so 5x = 5(13) = 65 which is the number of computers sold by Julius

Find the solutions of the quadratic equation 3x^2-5x+1=0.
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The solutions of the quadratic equation are x_{1} = \frac{5 + \sqrt{13}}{6}, x_{2} = \frac{5 - \sqrt{13}}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a second order polynomial, and we can find it's roots by the Bhaskara formula.

Explanation of the bhaskara formula:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

For this problem, we have to find x_{1} \text{and} x_{2}.

The polynomial is 3x^{2} - 5x +1, so a = 3, b = -5, c = 1.

Solution

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac = (-5)^{2} - 4*3*1 = 25 - 12 = 13

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a} = \frac{-(-5) + \sqrt{13}}{2*3} = \frac{5 + \sqrt{13}}{6}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a} = \frac{-(-5) - \sqrt{13}}{2*3} = \frac{5 - \sqrt{13}}{6}

The solutions of the quadratic equation are x_{1} = \frac{5 + \sqrt{13}}{6}, x_{2} = \frac{5 - \sqrt{13}}{6}

What is the axis of symmetry?
Scorpion4ik [409]

The axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves. The axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex of the parabola . The -coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

Hopefully this helps:) Please mark me brainiest:)

Write the equations for the basic absolute value equation y=|x-h|+k under the given transformations:
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<span>Left & Right affect the h,
Up & Down affect the k,
Shrink & Stretch affect the "a" (which is in front of the absolute value expression).

1. shift 1 unit to the right and up 2 units → y = |x-1| + 2
2. </span><span>shift 3 units to the left and 7 units down → y = |x + 7| - 7
3. </span><span>vertical shrink by a factor of 1/3 → y = \frac{1}{3}|x|
