Answer:

- 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

The sum of the roots = - $\frac{b}{a}$ and

The product of the roots = $\frac{c}{a}$

x² + 6x - 55 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 1, b = 6 and c = - 55, hence

product of the roots = $\frac{-55}{1}$ = - 55

In ΔCDE, the measure of ∠E=90°, the measure of ∠D=23°, and EC = 1.3 feet. Find the length of DE to the nearest tenth of a foot.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: length of DE is about 3.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation: A calculator is necessary!

DE is the unknown hypotenuse of the triangle

get the sine of 23° = 0.3907311285

Use the equation for sine

<em>sin = o/h</em> .

To find h, Substitute values for sin and o. O is EC, Opposite the 23° angle D

<em>0.3907311285 = 1.3/h</em> multiply both sides by h

h(0.3907311285) = 1.3 divide both sides by 0.3907311285

h = 1.3/0.3907311285

3.327096065 = h, the length of the hypotenuse, DE.

Find the value of the variable y, where the sum of the fractions 6/(y+1) and y/(y-2) is equal to their product.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The answer is

$y = 3$

$y = - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find a solution where

$\frac{6}{y + 1} + \frac{y}{y - 2} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Consider the Left Side:

First, to add fraction multiply each fraction on the left by it corresponding denomiator and we should get

$\frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y - 2}{y - 2} + \frac{y}{y - 2} \times \frac{y + 1}{y + 1}$

Which equals

$\frac{6y - 12}{(y -2) (y + 1)} + \frac{ {y}^{2} + y }{(y - 2)(y + 1)}$

Add the fractions

$\frac{y {}^{2} + 7y - 12 }{(y - 2)(y + 1)} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Simplify the right side by multiplying the fraction

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y + 2)}$

Set both fractions equal to each other

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y - 2)} = \frac{ {y}^{2} + 7y - 12}{(y + 1)(y - 2)}$

Since the denomiator are equal, we must set the numerator equal to each other

$6y = {y}^{2} + 7y - 12$

$= {y}^{2} + y - 12$

$(y + 4)(y - 3)$

$y = - 4$

$y = 3$
