first number: x

second number: y

Sum: x + y = -9   ⇒   y = -x - 9

Product: xy = 20  ⇒ x(-x - 9) = 20

                                 -x² - 9x = 20

                                          0 = x² + 9x + 20

                                           0 = (x + 4)(x + 5)

                           0 = x + 4      or     0 = x + 5

                           x = -4           or      x = -5

y = -x - 9  ⇒  y = -(-4) - 9 = -5    or    y = -(-5) - 9 = -4

Answer: -4, -5

You select a card at random from the cards that make up the word "replacement". Without replacing the card, you choose a second
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The probability is 14/55

Step-by-step explanation:

The word replacement contains 11 letters.

In which 4 letters are vowel = e,a,e,e

And 7 letters are not vowel = r,p,l,c,m,n,t

The probability of getting the vowel in the first try = 4/11

The probability of getting something that is not a vowel = 7/10.

The denominator is one less because the vowel card is not replaced, meaning there is one less card to choose from.

Multiply the values:

=4/11 * 7/10

=28/110

=14/55

The probability is 14/55....

Find the value of the lesser root of x2 + 12x + 35 = 0.
matrenka [14]
In quadratic equations,
                                   a + b = -B
                                      ab = C
where a and b are the roots, B is the second term, and C is the constant.
Substituting,
                                  a + b = -12
                                      ab = 35
The values of a and b from the equation is -7 and -5. Thus, the lesser root is -7.
