Mathematics

ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The sum of the roots is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

What is the sum of the roots of 20x^2-10x-30

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

The sum of the roots is equal to

-\frac{b} {a}

in this problem we have

20x^{2} -10x-30=0  

so

a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30

substitute

-\frac{(-10)} {20}=0.5

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

Find the roots of the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30

substitute

x=\frac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{-10^{2}-4(20)(-30)}} {2(20)}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{2,500}} {40}

x=\frac{10\pm50} {40}

x=\frac{10+50} {40}=1.5

x=\frac{10-50} {40}=-1

The roots are x=-1 and x=1.5

The sum of the roots are

-1+1.5=0.5 ----> is ok

Write a formula for rrr in terms of \thetaθtheta for the following figure.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:  r = 4cm/θ

Step-by-step explanation:

For a circle of radius R, the perimeter is:

P = 2*pi*R

Now, if we have an arc with an angle θ, the cord of this arc is:

C = (θ/2*pi)*2*pi*R

Where you can see that if θ = 2*pi (this is the full circle) we have the perimeter of the circle.

In this case, we can see that the cord for an angle θ is 4cm, then:

C = 4cm = (θ/2*pi)*2*pi*r = θ*r

Now we can solve this for r:

 r = 4cm/θ
