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

Mr peterson will buy 80 feet of fencing. The pieces of fence come in whole numbers of feet. His enclosure will be a rectangle an
DIA [1.3K]
The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 80
 The area is:
 A = x * y
 The area as a function of a variable is:
 A (x) = x * (40-x)
 Rewriting we have:
 A (x) = 40x-x ^ 2
 We derive the function:
 A '(x) = 40-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 40-2x = 0
 2x = 40
 x = 40/2
 x = 20 feet
 The other dimension is:
 y = 40 - x
 y = 40 - 20
 y = 20 feet
 The area will be:
 A = x * y
 A = 20 * 20
 A = 400 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The dimensions are:
 
x = 20 feet
 
y = 20 feet
 
The area is:
 
A = 400 feet ^ 2
