Answer:

6x² + 5x - 2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 5x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 2, b = - 5, c = - 6, then

sum of roots α + β = - \frac{b}{a} = \frac{5}{2}

product of roots = \frac{c}{a} = - 3, then

sum of new roots = \frac{1}{\alpha } + \frac{1}{\beta }

= \frac{\beta+\alpha  }{\alpha \beta }

= \frac{\frac{5}{2} }{-3} = - \frac{5}{6}

product of new roots = \frac{1}{\alpha } × \frac{1}{\beta }

= \frac{1}{\alpha\beta  } = - \frac{1}{3}

Hence the required equation is

x² + \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{1}{3} = 0 or

6x² + 5x - 2 = 0 ( multiplying through by 6 )

F(x) = { x + 7 and g(x) = -x + 7<br> What transformation occurs from function f to function g?
Triss [41]
<h3>Answer:  Reflect over the y axis</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

We have these two given functions

  • f(x) = x+7
  • g(x) = -x+7

The change is that the x has been replaced with -x

We can say

f(x) = x+7

f(-x) = -x+7 ... replace each x with -x

g(x) = f(-x)

g(x) = -x+7

When we replace x with -x, we're flipping the x inputs from positive to negative, and vice versa. This visually will reflect the line over the vertical y axis. A point like (1,8) on f(x) reflects over to (-1,8) on g(x).

As another example, the point (-5,2) on f(x) reflects over the y axis to arrive at (5,2) on the g(x) function.
