Answer: x = -2 and x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 + 5x + 6 *FACTOR*
(x+2) (x+3) = 0
x + 2 = 0
-2 -2
x = -2
x + 3 = 0
-3 -3
x = -3
I don't think that you put parentheses around any numbers because when I solve it with parentheses between numbers I get other numbers like 16 or 17
Step-by-step explanation:
For the quadratic equation to have 1 repeated real solution, the discriminant b² - 4ac must be zero.
=> (-z)² - 4(z - 5)(5) = 0
=> z² - 20(z - 5) = 0
=> z² - 20z + 100 = 0
=> (z - 10)² = 0
Therefore z = 10.
Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.
