<u>Answer:</u>

The solution of  equation 4x^3 + 4x^2-x-1 = 0 given that -1/2 is a zero of f(x) = 4x^3 + 4x^2-x-1 is \frac{-1}{2} \text { and } \frac{1}{2} \text { and }-1

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, cubic equation 4 x^{3}+4 x^{2}-x-1=0

And \frac{-1}{2} is a zero of f(x)=4 x^{3}+4 x^{2}-x-1

We have to find the other two roots of the given quadratic equation.

Let the other two roots be a, b.

Now, we know that, sum of roots of cubic equation =\frac{-x^{2} \text { coefficient }}{x^{3} \text { coefficient }}

\text { Then, } \frac{-1}{2}+a+b=\frac{-4}{4} \rightarrow a+b=-1+\frac{1}{2} \rightarrow a+b=\frac{-1}{2} \rightarrow(1)

Now, product of roots of cubic equation =\frac{-\text { constant value }}{x^{3} \text { coefficient }}

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Then, } \frac{-1}{2} \times a \times b=\frac{-(-1)}{4} \rightarrow \frac{-1}{2} \times a b=\frac{1}{4}} \\\\ {\rightarrow a b=-2 \times \frac{1}{4} \rightarrow a b=\frac{-1}{2}}\end{array}

\text { Now we know that, }(a-b)^{2}=(a+b)^{2}-4 a b

substitute above value in this formula

(a-b)^{2}=\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)^{2}-4 \times\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)

(a-b)^{2}=1 / 4+2 \rightarrow(a-b)^{2}=\frac{2 \times 4+1}{4} \rightarrow(a-b)^{2}=\frac{9}{4} \rightarrow a-b=\frac{3}{2} \rightarrow(2)

Now, solve (1) and (2)

\begin{array}{l}{2 a=\frac{3-1}{2}} \\ {2 a=1} \\ {a=\frac{1}{2}}\end{array}

substitute "a" value in (1)

\frac{1}{2}+b= \frac{-1}{2} \rightarrow b= \frac{-1}{2} + \frac{-1}{2} \rightarrow b=-1

Hence, the roots of the given cubic equation are \frac{-1}{2} \text { and } \frac{1}{2} \text { and }-1

Y is directly proportional to x when y=30, x=6
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a) y = 5x

b) y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y is directly proportional to x when y=30, x=6

\therefore \:  y \:  \alpha \:  \: x \\ \therefore \:  y =  kx ...(1) \\ plug \: y = 30 \: and \: x = 6  \: in \: eq \: (1)\\ 30 = k \times 6 \\ k =  \frac{30}{6}  \\ k = 5 \\ plug \: k = 5 \: in \: (1) \\ y = 5x....(2) \: (required \: equation) \\ plug \: x = 12 \: in \: eq \: (2) \\ y = 5 \times 12 \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{y = 60}}
