Find the sum of the squares of the roots of 3x^2 + 4x + 12 = 0

Mathematics

Contact [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

-56/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p and q be the roots of the equation.

So, here's how we're gonna work it out:

{p}^{2}  +  {q}^{2}  =  \\  {p}^{2}  +  {q}^{2} +2 pq - 2pq =   \\ ( {p}^{2}  +2pq +   {q}^{2}) - 2pq =  \\  {(p + q)}^{2}  - 2pq

Vieta's formulas give us the sum and the product of the roots of a quadratic equation. Using them we obtain:

  • p + q = -b / a = - 4 / 3
  • p × q = c / a = 12 / 3 = 4

{(p + q)}^{2}  - 2pq =  \\  {( -  \frac{ 4}{3} )}^{2}  - 2 \times 4 =  \frac{16}{9 }  - 8 =  \\  \frac{16 - 72}{9}  = - \frac{56}{9}

choli [55]

Answer: $15.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Joe's lunch cost $13.00 without tax

He tipped the waiter with 17% of bill without tax

So, the amount of tip is

\Rightarrow 13\times 17\%\\\Rightarrow 13\times 0.17\\\Rightarrow \$2.21

Total amount that food costs without tax is

\Rightarrow 13+2.21\\\Rightarrow \$15.21

Calculate the lateral area of the cube if the perimeter of the base is 12 units
Brums [2.3K]

The lateral area of the cube is 36 sq units

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

Perimeter of the base of the cube = 12 units

Base of the cube has 4 sides

So, the perimeter of the base = 4a

where,

a is the length of one side

Thus,

4a = 12 units

a = 3 units

Lateral surface area of the cube = 4a²

A = 4 X (3)²

A = 36 sq units

Therefore, the lateral area of the cube is 36 sq units
