How to solve quadratic equations with the coefficient not equal to 1?

Mathematics
1 answer:
frozen [14]3 years ago
5 0
Which coefficient? There are multiple, as the general formula of a quadratic equation is ax^2+bx+c.
There are a few ways, and if you can factorise by inspection that works, however the most effective way of solving equations that aren't obvious is to plug it into the quadratic formula:

\boxed{x=-b +- \frac{ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} }

Three-fifths of the students in a room are girls. One-third of the girls have blond hair. One-half of the boys have brown hair.
yan [13]

Answer:

a. Of all the students, \frac{1}{5} are girls with blond hair.

b. Of all the students, \frac{1}{5} are boys without brown hair.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. You know that \frac{3}{5} of the students are girls (This means that \frac{2}{5} of the studes are boys) and \frac{1}{3} of these girls have blond hair.

Then, \frac{1}{3} of \frac{3}{5} is:

(\frac{3}{5})(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{1}{5}

Therefore, of all the students, \frac{1}{5} are girls with blond hair.

b. You know that \frac{1}{2} of the boys have brown hair.

Then, \frac{1}{2} of \frac{2}{5} is:

(\frac{2}{5})(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{5}

Of all the students, \frac{1}{5} are boys without brown hair.

A triangle with two vertices located at (5, −8) and (5, 4) has an area of 48 square units. Determine one possible location of th
RoseWind [281]

Answer:x=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two points co-ordinates are given

A=(5,-8)

B=(5,4)

let other point be C =(x,y)

Area of triangle is given by

A=\begin{vmatrix}5& -8&1\\5& 4&1\\x& y&1\end{vmatrix}

A=5\left ( 4-y\right )+8\left ( 5-x\right )+1\left ( 5y-4x\right )

A=20-5y+40-8x+5y-4x

A=60-8x

and A=48 square unit

48=60-8x

x=1.5

As area is independent of y therefore at x=1.5 any value of y will give area of 48 square unit
