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

Answer:

A. add the areas of both bases to the rectangular area around the cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we flatten out the cylinder we would have two circles and a rectangle. When you roll up the rectangle, it would make the body of the cylinder. Surface area by definition the total area the surface of an object occupies.

So to get it, we add up the different shapes that make up the cylinder, which is the two circles and the rolled up rectangle.

If they proportional, it implies

(x+2)/(x-1) = 8/10

Or 10x +20 = 8x-8

Or 2x = -28 or x = -14
