Which Question Has roots of x= -2 and x
vazorg [7]

See explanation below.

Explanation:

The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..

Assume we have some function of a single variable

x

;

we'll call this

f

(

x

)

Then we can form an equation:

f

(

x

)

=

0

Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of

x

that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.

Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about

f

x

)

. To consider factors, we now need to assume that

f

(

x

)

=

g

(

x

)

⋅

h

(

x

)

.

That is that

f

(

x

)

factorises into some functions

g

(

x

)

×

h

(

x

)

If we recall our equation:

f

(

x

)

=

0

Then we can now say that either

g

(

x

)

=

0

or

h

(

x

)

=

0

.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.

[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where

f

(

x

)

is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

y = 6x – 3

y = 2/3x + 6

y = –1/3x – 4

y = 2x + 1

Correct answer:

y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

Convert the equation to slope intercept form to get y = –1/3x + 2.  The old slope is –1/3 and the new slope is 3.  Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

With the new slope, use the slope intercept form and the point to calculate the intercept: y = mx + b or 5 = 3(1) + b, so b = 2

So y = 3x + 2

The top and bottom margins of a poster 66 cm each, and the side margins are 44 cm each. If the area of the printed material on t
jasenka [17]

Answer:

  • width: 24 cm
  • height: 36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When margins are involved, the smallest area will be the one that has its dimensions in the same proportion as the margins. If x is the "multiplier", the dimensions of the printed area are ...

  (4x)(6x) = 384 cm^2

  x^2 = 16 cm^2 . . . . . divide by 24

  x = 4 cm

The printed area is 4x by 6x, so is 16 cm by 24 cm. With the margins added, the smallest poster will be ...

  24 cm by 36 cm

_____

<em>Comment on margins</em>

It should be obvious that if both side margins are 4 cm, then the width of the poster is 8 cm more than the printed width. Similarly, the 6 cm top and bottom margins make the height of the poster 12 cm more than the height of the printed area.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Let w represent the width of the printed area. Then the printed height is 384/w, and the total poster area is ...

  A = (w+8)(384/w +12) = 384 +12w +3072/w +96

Differentiating with respect to w gives ...

  A' = 12 -3072/w^2

Setting this to zero and solving for w gives ...

  w = √(3072/12) = 16 . . . . matches above solution.

__

<em>Generic solution</em>

If we let s and t represent the side and top margins, and we use "a" for the printed area, then the above equation becomes the symbolic equation ...

  A = (w +s)(a/w +t)

  A' = t - sa/w^2

For A' = 0, ...

  w = √(sa/t)

and the height is ...

  a/w = a/√(sa/t) = √(ta/s)

Then the ratio of width to height is ...

  w/(a/w) = w^2/a = (sa/t)/a

  width/height = s/t . . . . . . the premise we started with, above

27x + 24y= 4.5<br><br> 1.5x + y =0.225
Goryan [66]

Answer:

x = 0.1, y = 0.075

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

27x + 24y = 4.5 → (1)

1.5x + y = 0.225 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 24 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

- 36x - 24y = - 5.4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 9x = - 0.9 ( divide both sides by - 9 )

x = 0.1

Substitute x = 0.1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

1.5(0.1) + y = 0.225

0.15 + y = 0.225 ( subtract 0.15 from both sides )

y = 0.075
