Answer: q = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic formula as

x = [-b +/-√(b^2 -4ac)]/2a

b = -14

a = 1

c = q

Difference d between the two roots.

d = [-b + √(b^2 -4ac)]/2a - [-b -√(b^2 -4ac)]/2a

d = 2√(b^2 -4ac)/2a

d = √(b^2 -4ac)/a

And d = 6

Substituting the values of a,b and c. We have;

6 = √[(-14^2) - (4×1×q)]

Square both sides

6^2 = 196 - 4q

4q = 196 - 36

q = 160/4

q = 40

The equation becomes

x^2 - 14x + 40 = 0

which of the following properties could be used to rewrite the expression (2/3•1/5)•5/2 as 2/3•(5/2•(5/2•1/5) sorry to ask Su ma

slamgirl [31]

The original expression is given by:
$( \frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{5})*\frac{5}{2}$
The correct way to rewrite the expression is given by:
$\frac{2}{3}*(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{1}{5})
$
For this, we use two properties:

Associative property:
The way of grouping the factors does not change the result of the multiplication:
$\frac{2}{3}*(\frac{1}{5}*\frac{5}{2})$

Commutative property:
The order of the factors does not vary the product:
$\frac{2}{3}*(\frac{5}{2}*\frac{1}{5})$
