What are the zeros of the function represented by the quadratic expression 2x^2-5x-3

1 answer:

3 0

2x2-5x-3=0

Two solutions were found :

x = -1/2 = -0.500

x = 3

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

(2x2 - 5x) - 3 = 0

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     Factoring  2x2-5x-3

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  -5x  its coefficient is  -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -3

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -3 = -6

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -6  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

Answer: $\frac{8}{17}$ or 8:17

Step-by-step explanation:

For any angle x (other than right angle) in a right triangle ,the trigonometric ratio of sin x is given by :-

$\sin x=\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

Given: A right triangle with hypotenuse = 68 units

The side adjacent to S = 60

Let h be the side opposite to S, then using Pythagoras in the given right triangle, we get

$(68)^2=60^2+h^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=68^2-60^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=1024\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\sqrt{1024}=32$

Thus, the side opposite to S = 32 units

Now, the trigonometric ratio for sin S is given by :-

$\sin S=\frac{\text{side opposite to S}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\\\Rightarrow\sin S=\frac{32}{68}=\frac{8}{17}$

Hence, the trigonometric ratio for sin S = $\frac{8}{17}$ or 8:17

A bus covers a distance of 2.45 km in 2 min. What is the speed of bus?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The speed of the bus is 74.242 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that bus runs at constant speed and that speed is measured in kilometers per hour. Then, the speed of the bus ( $v$ ), in kiometers per hour, is determined by following kinematic expression:
