Answer:

$x_{1}=-\frac{2+\sqrt{34}}{6}$

$x_{2}=-\frac{2-\sqrt{34}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Equation given:

6x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0

Start dividing both sides by 6.

$\frac{6}{6} x^2 +\frac{4}{6} x - \frac{5}{6}  = \frac{0}{6} $

$x^2 +\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{5}{6}  = 0 $

$x^2 +\frac{2}{3} x = \frac{5}{6} $

Once, $\left( \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \right)^2=\frac{1}{9} $

$x^2 +\frac{2}{3} x+\frac{1}{9}  = \frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{9}  $

$\left(x+\frac{1}{3} \right)^2 = \frac{17}{18}}  $

$x+\frac{1}{3}  =\pm\sqrt{\frac{17}{18}} }   $

Solving $\sqrt{\frac{17}{18}} $

$\sqrt{\frac{17(18)}{18(18)}}= \sqrt{\frac{306}{324}}=\frac{3\sqrt{34} }{18} =\frac{\sqrt{34} }{6} $

Then,

$x+\frac{1}{3}  =\pm\frac{\sqrt{34} }{6}  $

$x =-\frac{1}{3} \pm\frac{\sqrt{34} }{6}  $

$x_{1}=-\frac{2+\sqrt{34}}{6}$

$x_{2}=-\frac{2-\sqrt{34}}{6}$

If average of 3 quantities is 15 , sum of quantities is....?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three quantities be x, y and z.

\because \: average =  \frac{sum \: of \: quantities}{no \: of \: quantities}  \\  \\  \therefore \: 15 =  \frac{x + y + z}{3}  \\  \\ 15 \times 3 = x + y + z \\  \\ \huge \purple{ 45 = x + y + z}
