The quadratic function f(x)=2x^2-24x+c has two zeros that differ by 18. Find the value of c.

1 answer:

7 0

For this case we have the following function:
f (x) = 2x ^ 2-24x + c
We set zero to find the roots of the function.
  We have then:
  2x ^ 2-24x + c = 0
  x ^ 2-12x + c / 2 = 0
  Factoring we have:
  (x - / + x1) (x - / + x2) = 0
  On the other hand we have:
  x2-x1 = 18
  x2 + x1 = -12
  Solving the system we have:
  x1 = -15
  x2 = 3
  Substituting we have:
  (x-15) (x + 3) = 0
  Rewriting:
  x ^ 2 -12x - 45 = 0
Therefore, the value of c is given by:
  c / 2 = -45
  c = -90
  Answer:
  the value of c is:
c = -90

Which of the following is a PRE-READING activity designed to help build reading comprehension

I think the correct answer would be the second option. Paraphrasing the ideas within a document is an activity that would help building reading comprehension. Paraphrasing ideas would require one to understand the context of the sentence so that you can write it in your own way so in a way it helps comprehension.
