Use the quadratic formula to solve the following equation -3x^2-x-3=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
tigry1 [53]3 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer:</u>

x=-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{6} i \text { and } x=-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{\sqrt{35}}{6} i are two roots of equation -3 x^{2}-x-3=0

<u>Solution:</u>

Need to solve given equation using quadratic formula.

-3 x^{2}-x-3=0

General form of quadratic equation is a x^{2}+b x+c=0

And quadratic formula for getting roots of quadratic equation is

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

In our case b = -1 , a = -3 and c = -3

Calculating roots of the equation we get

\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^{2}-4(-3)(-3)}}{2 \times-3}} \\\\ {x=-\frac{1}{6} \pm\left(-\frac{\sqrt{-35}}{6}\right)}\end{array}

Since b^{2}-4 a c is equal to -35, which is less than zero, so given equation will not have real roots and have complex roots.

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Hence } x=-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{6} i \text { and } x=-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{\sqrt{35}}{6} i \text { are two roots of equation - }} \\ {3 x^{2}-x-3=0}\end{array}

If a = 12 and 120% of a is equal to 80\% of bthen what is a + b ?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The answer is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 120% of a (12).

\frac{12}{1}  \times  \frac{120}{100}  = 14.4

Therefore; 14.4 is 80% of b, and we are trying to find 100% of b

14.4 = 80\% \\ x = 100\%

we do not know what is 100% therefore we call it *x*. In order to find this unknown value *x* we cross multiply.

14.4 \times 100\% = 80\% \times x

This is the same as saying;

14.4  \times 1 = x \times  \frac{4}{5}

100% percent would be 1 because it is the whole number we are trying to find. The 80% would be 4/5. To get 4/5 you can simply break down 80/100 ( this is 80% as a fraction).

so the new equation is: 14.4= 4/5x

We divide both sides by 4/5. Then we will get x tobe equal to 18. Therefore b is 18. We were asked to find (a + b) so.<em> </em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>30</em>

Pls help i'm so close to being done / What ratio of people did not have a cold?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

74/100 OR 37/50

Step-by-step explanation:

First add everyone together since its asking for no cold / everyone.

41 + 15 + 12 + 5 + 21 + 6 = 100

Then add to gether the total of people without a cold.

41 + 12 + 21 = 74

Next you just put the ratio in order which in this case would be no cold / everyone then if possible simplify.

74/100 = 37/50
