I need help to solve this

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The catch is to put this into the quadratic and solve for a b and c in three equations.

x = 1

a(1)^2 + b(1) + c= 0            

a + b + c + 0                (1)

x = - 1

a(-1)^2 + b(-1) + c = 2

a - b + c = 2                 (2)

x = 2

a(2)^2 + b(2) + c = 8

4a + 2b + c = 8            (3)

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

Add 1 and 2 together

a + b + c = 0

a - b + c = 2

2a + 2c = 2           Divide by 2

a + c = 1                       (4)  

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

Multiply (2) by 2

2a - 2b + 2c = 4          (5)

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

Add (5) + (3)

2a - 2b + 2c = 4

4a + 2b + c = 8

6a + 3c = 12               (6)

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

Multiply (4) by 3

3a + 3c = 3                 (7)

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

Subtract (7) from (6)

6a + 3c = 12

3a + 3c =  3

3a = 9                      Divide by 3

3a/3 = 9/3

a = 3

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

Use (4) to find c

a + c = 1

3 + c = 1                  Subtract 3 from both sides

3-3 + c = 1-3

c = - 2

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

Use 1 to find b

3 + b - 2 = 0          Combine 3 and -2

1 + b = 0                Subtract 1 from both sides

b = - 1              

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

Answers

a = 3

b = - 1

c = - 2

PLEASE HELP AND SHOW WORK!!
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Pipe 1 alone fills a tank in 10 min

Pipe 2 alone fills the tank in 20 min

If both are turned on together, how long will it take to fill the tank???

Pipe 1 fills at the RATE of 1/10th tank per min

Pipe 2 fills at the RATE of 1/20th tank per min

Pipe 1 + Pipe 2 fills at the rate of 1/10+1/20 or 3/20th tank per min

Let x= time to fill the tank

(3/20)(x)=1 Where 1 denotes a full tank (Multiply both sides by 20)

3x=20

x=6 2/3 min----------both working together

NOW YOUR PROBLEM

Let x= amount of time for smaller pipe to fill the tank

Then (x-5)=amount of time for larger pipe to fill the tank

NOW HERE'S WHERE THE RECIPROCAL COMES IN:

The smaller pipe fills the tank at the RATE of 1/x cu units per min

The larger tank fills the tank at the RATE of 1/(x-5) cu units per min

Together, they fill the tank at the rate of 1/x+(1/(x-5)) cu units per min

But now we are told that together the fill the tank in 11 1/9 minutes. so our equation to solve is:

(1/x+(1/(x-5))(11 1/9)=1 where 1 denotes a full tank. In fact, in each of the above reciprocals, the 1 denotes a full tank.

So, dividing both sides by 11 1/9, we get:

1/x+(1/(x-5)=1/(11 1/9)-------------- which is your equation

I assume that you have no problems solviing this eq.

Hope this helps----ptaylor

This is true. If you count the number of lbs, you get 16 and if you count the number of dollars in the same length, you get $4.
