Answer: the equation is

5x^2 -30x - 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is one in which the highest power of the unknown is 2.

The general form of a quadratic equation is expressed as

ax^2 + bx + c

Where c is a constant and a is the leading coefficient

Assuming we want to write the quadratic equation in x, from the information given, the given roots are 5 and 1 and the leading coefficient is 5. We will just multiply the expression by the leading coefficient.

Therefore, the linear factors of the quadratic will be (x-5) and (x-1)

With the leading coefficient as 5, the equation becomes

5(x-5)(x-1)

= 5(x^2 - x - 5x + 5)

= 5(x^2 - 6x + 5)

= 5x^2 -30x - 25

Answer:

This shape is a rectangle so that means that the angles are 90°. From sum of angles of a triangle, x + 3x + 10 + 90 = 180 which means 4x + 100 = 180 → 4x = 80 → x = 20°.

An investor has an account with stock from two different companies. Last year, her stock in Company A was worth $4150 and her st

zzz [600]

Answer: The required percentage would be 5.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Worth of Company A = $4150

Worth of Company B = $6820

So, increase in Company A = 6%

increase in Company B = 5%

According to question, it becomes,

$0.06\times 4150+0.05\times 6820\\\\=249+341\\\\=590$

So, the total percentage increase in the investor's stock account would be

$\dfrac{590}{4150+6820}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{590}{10970}\times 100\\\\=5.378\%$

Hence, the required percentage would be 5.4%.
