<u>ANSWER:  </u>

If x = \frac{2}{3} and x = -3 are the roots of the equation, then values of a and b are 3, -6

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, quadratic equation is a x^{2}+7 x+b=0 and its roots are -3 , \frac{2}{3}

We know that, for any quadratic equation of form a x^{2}+b x+c=0 with roots x_{1} and x_{2} then,

Sum of roots (x_{1} +x_{2}) = \frac{-b}{a}

Product of roots ( x_{1} \times x_{2}) = \frac{c}{a}

Now, for given quadratic equation x_{1} = -3 and x_{2} = \frac{2}{3}

hence Sum of roots = \frac{-7}{a}

x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{-7}{a}

-3 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{-7}{a}

on solving we get "a" = 3

Now product of roots = x_{1} \times x_{2} = \frac{b}{3}

-3 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{b}{3}

b = -6

hence, the values of a and b are 3, -6.

Find the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square trinomial.<br><br> x2 + 4x + c
masha68 [24]

the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square binomial is c=4 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , an expression x2 + 4x + c or , x^2 + 4x + c . We need to find  the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square binomial. Let's find out:

We have ,  x^2 + 4x + c

⇒ x^2+4x+c

⇒ x^2+2(2)x+c

Now , we know that (a+b)^2=a^2+2(a)(b)+b^2

Comparing above equation  , to  x^2+2(2)x+c we get ;

⇒  x^2+2(2)x+c            { c=2^2  }

⇒  x^2+2(2)x+2^2

⇒  (x+2)^2

Therefore , the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square binomial is c=4 .
