Answer:

The value of q is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one root = a

other root = b

x²-14x+q = (x-a)(x-b)

= x²-bx-ax+ab

= x²-(a+b)x+ab

Comparing the

coefficient

a + b = 14 ----(1)

ab = q -----(2)

a - b = 6 ------(3)

(1)-(3)

2b = 8

b = 4

sub b=4 into(1)

a + 4 = 14

a = 10

sub a=10,b=4 into(2)

ab = q

q = 10×4

= 40

Answer:

q=-1128/169

Step-by-step explanation:

x²n-14x+q=0 here a=1, b= -14, c=q

let the roots of the equation beα and β

then the sum of the roots= S= α+β= -b/a=-(-14)/1=14

α+β=14 ⇒β=14-α--------(i)

product of the roots=P= αβ= c/a= q/1=q------(ii)

since α-β=6--------(given)----(iiI)

put the values of β from equation i to equation iii

α-14α=6

-13α=6

α=-6/13

put the values of α and β in eq. (ii)

αβ=q=(-6/13)(14-(-6/13)

q=(-6/13)(182+6/13)

q=(-6/13)188/13

q=-1128/169

Try box be<br> 1) Solve for m: 2m + 21 = 3<br> Help please…
Viktor [21]

first step is to subtract 21 from both sides

2m+21-21=3-21

2m=-18

2m/2 and -18/2

m=-9

So the final answer is m=-9 (negative nine equals m)

A lab technician has to fill the tank given below. <br> Find it’s volume .
wel

Answer:

The volume of the cylinder shown in the figure is 628 cube meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given figure is about cylinder

The height of the cylinder = h = 8 meters

The radius of the base of cylinder = r = 5 meters

Now, let The volume of cylinder = V m³

So, The volume of cylinder is given as V = \pi×r²×h

where r is the radius of its base

And h is the height of cylinder

The value of  \pi = 3.14

So, V =  \pi × r² × h

Or, V = 3.14 × (5)² × 8

Or, V =  3.14 × 25 × 8

or, V = 628 m³

So, The volume of cylinder = V  = 628 m³

Hence The volume of the cylinder shown in the figure is 628 cube meters  Answer
