. If α and β are the roots of

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$18x^2+85x+18 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given Equation is </em></u>

=> $2x^2+7x-9=0$

Comparing it with $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ , we get

=> a = 2, b = 7 and c = -9

So,

Sum of roots = α+β = $-\frac{b}{a}$

α+β = -7/2

Product of roots = αβ = c/a

αβ = -9/2

<em>Now, Finding the equation whose roots are:</em>

α/β ,β/α

Sum of Roots = $\frac{\alpha }{\beta } + \frac{\beta }{\alpha }$

Sum of Roots = $\frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2 }{\alpha \beta }$

Sum of Roots = $\frac{(\alpha+\beta )^2-2\alpha\beta }{\alpha\beta }$

Sum of roots = $(\frac{-7}{2} )^2-2(\frac{-9}{2} ) / \frac{-9}{2}$

Sum of roots = $\frac{49}{4} + 9 /\frac{-9}{2}$

Sum of Roots = $\frac{49+36}{4} / \frac{-9}{2}$

Sum of roots = $\frac{85}{4} * \frac{2}{-9}$

Sum of roots = S = $-\frac{85}{18}$

Product of Roots = $\frac{\alpha }{\beta } \frac{\beta }{\alpha }$

Product of Roots = P = 1

<u><em>The Quadratic Equation is:</em></u>

=> $x^2-Sx+P = 0$

=> $x^2 - (-\frac{85}{18} )x+1 = 0$

=> $x^2 + \frac{85}{18}x + 1 = 0$

=> $18x^2+85x+18 = 0$

This is the required quadratic equation.

6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars.5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars. Set up a

vitfil [10]

Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let cost of apples = x

And cost of Oranges =y

Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Step 2

6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1

5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2

Using substitution method to solve the equation

6 x + 3y= 24

24-6x=3y

y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x

Y= 8-2x

Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2

5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23

5x+ 32 -8x= 23

32-23= 8x-5x

9=3x

x=9/3

x=3

Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y

6 x + 3y= 24

6(3) +3y= 24

18+3y=24

3y= 24-18

3y=6

y=6/3= 2

Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3

And cost of each pound of orange =$2

Help me on this please

steposvetlana [31]

I got you hun!

27= 3x is the equation you will need

27 is the total the coach needs making it the total. Since each pack comes with 3 you will mutiply the amount of pack, or x, by 3.

X=9

we know this because if you divide 3 by 27 to get it on the other side we get 9. This means the coach needs to buy 9 packs of baseballs for the team.

27=3(9)

Hope this helps!
