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}

Each time x increases by 2 (eg: from x = -3 to x = -1), the value of y increases by 7 (eg: y = 9.5 to y = 16.5)

Change in y = 7
change in x = 2
Slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = 7/2 = 3.5

This all means that we have a linear equation

You multiply 10 12 times and you will have 1000000000000
than multiply it again by 4.18549 and you will get 418549000000
