The equation x2+px−35=0 has one root that is equal to 7. Find the other root and the value of the coefficient p.

1 answer:

4 0

For this case we have the following polynomial:
x2 + px-35 = 0
We can factor the polynomial.
Rewriting we have:
(x-7) * (x + a) = 0
The value of a is given by:
-7 * a = -35
a = 35/7
a = 5
Substituting we have:
(x-7) * (x + 5) = 0
Therefore, the value of p is:
p = -7 + 5
p = -2
Answer:
the other root is:
x = -5
The value of the coefficient is:
p = -2

a car reduced its speed in a ratio of 2 to 3 if the final speed was 90 km per hour then what was the original speed.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Orginal Speed is 135

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of final speed: original speed is

$\frac{2}{3\\}$

We know that 90 km is it final speed so, we set up a proportion

$\frac{2}{3} =90/x$

$2x=270\\x=135$

The owner of a cattle ranch would like to fence in a rectangular area of 3000000 m^2 and then divide it in half with a fence dow

Reika [66]

If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now $\bf \begin{cases}
A=l\cdot w\\\\\
A=3000000\\
----------\\
3000000=l\cdot w\\\\
\frac{3000000}{w}=l
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\
P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}
\\\\\\
P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\\\\\\
\textit{so the critical points are at }
\begin{cases}
0=w^2\\\\
0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\end{cases}$

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the $0=w^2\implies 0=w$ so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other
