Expand the brackets .You will have to multiply it.
6x2 +10x-3x-5
Final answer will be
6x2+7x-5

On the last day of school, Mrs. Awesome gave jelly beans to her class. She gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys

professor190 [17]

Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of girls in the class. There were two more boys than girls in her class, then the number of boys is x + 2.

Mrs. Awesome gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys in the class, so each of x + 2 boys got x + 2 jelly beans, so

Number of boys = x + 2

Number of jelly beans each boy got = x + 2

Total number of jelly beans all boys got = (x + 2)(x + 2)

Mrs. Awesome gave each girl as many jelly beans as there were girls in the class, so each of x girls got x jelly beans, so

Number of girls = x

Number of jelly beans each girl got = x

Total number of jelly beans all girls got = (x)(x)

Hence,

Total number of jelly beans class got = (x + 2)(x + 2) + (x)(x)

Mrs. Awesome brought 400 jelly beans, and when she finished, she had six jelly beans left, so she gave 400 - 6 = 394 jelly beans to the calss.

So,

$(x+2)(x+2)+(x)(x)=394\\ \\x^2+2x+2x+4+x^2=394\\ \\2x^2+4x+4-394=0\\ \\2x^2+4x-390=0\\ \\x^2+2x-195=0\\ \\D=2^2-4\cdot (-195)=4+780=784\\ \\\sqrt{D}=28\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-2\pm 28}{2\cdot 1}=-15,\ 13$

Number of girls cannot be negative, so x = 13, x + 2 = 15 and total number of students is 13 + 15 = 28

The value of

marusya05 [52]

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

We have to find out the value of the fraction.

Let us assume that:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + ... \infty} } }$

We can also write it as:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto x =\dfrac{2x + 1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} =2x + 1$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - 2x - 1 = 0$

Comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get:

$\sf \longmapsto\begin{cases} \sf a =1 \\ \sf b = - 2 \\ \sf c = - 1 \end{cases}$

By quadratic formula:

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{ {( - 2)}^{2} - 4(1)( - 1)} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{8} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm2 \sqrt{2} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 1 \pm\sqrt{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \begin{cases} \sf 1 + \sqrt{2} \\ \sf 1 - \sqrt{2} \end{cases}$

But "x" cannot be negative. Therefore:

$\sf :\implies x = 1 + \sqrt{2}$

So, the value of the fraction is 1 + √2.
