Answer:
-5 ; 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>GIVEN :-</u>
- A quadratic polynomial f(x) = 2x² + 9x - 5
<u>TO FIND :-</u>
- Zeroes of f(x) = 2x² + 9x - 5
<u>GENERAL CONCEPTS TO BE USED IN THIS QUESTION :-</u>
Lets say there's a quadratic polynomial f(x) = ax² + bx + c , whose factors are (x - α) & (x - β). To find the values of x for which f(x) will be zero , equate the factors of f(x) with 0.
⇒ (x - α) = 0 & (x - β) = 0
⇒ x = α & x = β
Hence, it can be concluded that if (x - α) & (x - β) are factors of f(x) , then α & β are the roots of f(x).
<u>SOLUTION :-</u>
Factorise f(x) = 2x² + 9x - 5.
- Take '2x' common from first two terms & '-1' from last two terms.
- Take (x + 5) common from the whole expression.
So , the factors of f(x) are (x + 5) & (2x - 1). Now equate the factors with zero.
⇒ (x + 5) = 0 & (2x - 1) = 0
⇒ x = -5 & x = 1/2
∴ The zeroes of f(x) = 2x² + 9x - 5 are (-5) & (1/2)
<u>VERIFICATION :-</u>
1) Put x = -5 in f(x) = 2x² + 9x - 5
⇒ f(-5) = 2(-5)² + 9×(-5) - 5
= 50 - 45 - 5
= 50 - 50
= 0
2) Put x = 1/2 in f(x) = 2x² + 9x - 5
Answer:
Simplified improper fraction.
Step-by-step explanation:
A simplified proper fraction would not have a numerator bigger than the denominator.
An improper fraction would have a numerator bigger than the denominator that <em>can</em> be simplified.
We see here that the expression isn't proper as it can be simplified further. Therefore, it is improper.

For this problem, it is really important to find who voted on Tuesday first.
90×(3/5)= 54
54 people voted on Tuesday. Since the people who voted on Wednesday was 1/4 of the members who did not vote on Tuesday.
90-54=36×(1/4)=9
9 people voted on Wednesday. Now add Tuesday and Wednesday together to find the ones that didn't vote.
54+9=63;90-63=27
27 people did not vote at all.
