Answer:
12x² - x - 20 = (4x+5)(3x−4)
The activation energy is the amount of energy required to initiate a certain reaction. The activation energy may considered as an "energy barrier" that has to be overcome in order for a reaction to begin. If a reaction has a lower activation energy, then it will occur more easily and at a faster rate than a reaction with a higher activation energy. Therefore, the reason that reaction 1 is faster than reaction 2 is because it has a lower activation energy than reaction 2.
Answer:
617/1000
Step-by-step explanation:
61.7% as a percent in case u need it :)
Let
be an integer. Suppose there is a triangle with legs of length 16 and
. Then by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse should be
The formulas for Pythagorean triples say that if the legs are integers, then so must be the hypotenuse, because if
and
are integers, then so are
,
, and
.
However,
is not a perfect square trinomial, which means for any integer
, the length of the hypotenuse is not an integer, so such a triangle doesn't exist.
Answer:
- 6. See solution
- 7. k = 2, k = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
6.
<u>Given equation:</u>
- The sum of the roots is q1 and the product of the roots is q2
Need to show that q1+q2 = 0
<h3>Solution</h3>
<u>Bringing the equation into standard form of ax² + bx + c = 0:</u>
- 2(x + 2)² + p(x + 1) = 0
- 2x² + 8x + 8 + px + p = 0
- 2x² + (p + 8)x + (p + 8) = 0
<u>Sum of the roots: </u>
<u>Product of the roots:</u>
<u>We see that q1 and q2 are opposite numbers, therefore their sum equals zero:</u>
- q1 + q2 = -(p + 8)/2 + (p + 8)/2 = 0
=============================================
7.
<u>Given quadratic equation:</u>
Need to find the possible values of k
<h3>Solution</h3>
<u>When the quadratic equation has equal roots, then its discriminant is equal to zero:</u>
- D = 0
- √b² - 4ac = 0
- √(-k -2)² - 4*1*4 = 0
- √k² + 4k + 4 - 16 = 0
- √k² + 4k - 12 = 0
- k² + 4k - 12 = 0
- k = {-4 ± √4² -4*1*(-12)}/2
- k = (-4 ± √16 + 48)/2
- k = (-4±√64)/2
- k = -2 ± 4
- k = 2, k = -6
