Find the product of the roots of the equation<br> xl-5x - 36 = 0

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I assume that you mean

$x^2-5x-36$

The product is -36.

$x_1 \text{ and } x_2 \text{ are the two roots, we can write}\\\\(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=x^2-(x_1+x_2)x+x_1\cdot x_2$

So in this example, it means that the sum is 5 and the product is -36.

Thank you

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 36 cm , find its area.

Brut [27]

L = Length
W = Width

L x W = area
Length = 2w

Lets find the width by solving for w.
2w + w = 36
3w = 36
3w/3 = 36 / 3
w = 12

So
L = 2 x 12 = 24
W = 12
L X W = area
24 x 12 = 288 cm^2
