<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Multiply the first and last coefficient

Find a pair that has the product of ac (above) and the sum of b

Replace the b-term with the pair.

Divide the four terms into two-terms on the left side and two terms on the right side and factor out the common terms from each side.

This is reverse of the distributive property so the terms factored out (on the outside of the common term) combine to create a factor and the common term is the other factor.  

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for the variable.

***************************************************************************************

1a. Answer: a = 1/2      a = -1

2a² + 3a + 1 = 0      → ac=2, b = 3    → use 1, 2  (product is 2 & sum is 3)

2a² + 2a + 1a + 1 = 0

2a² + 2a     +1a + 1        = 0

2a(<u>a + 1</u>)      +1(<u>a + 1</u>)      = 0

(2a + 1)(a + 1) = 0

2a + 1 = 0       and         a + 1 = 0

       a = 1/2    and               a = -1

**************************************************************************************

1b. Answer: y = -5/2    y = -5

2y² + 5y - 25 = 0  → ac=-50, b = 5 → use 10, -5  (product is -50 & sum is -5)

2y² + 10y - 5y - 25 = 0

2y² + 10y      - 5y - 25        = 0

2y(<u>y + 5</u>)      -5(<u>y + 5</u>)      = 0

(2y - 5)(y + 5) = 0

2y + 5 = 0       and         y + 5 = 0

       y = -5/2    and               y = -5

**************************************************************************************

1c. Answer: y = 5     y = 1/2

2y² - 11y + 5 = 0  → ac=10, b = -11 → use -1, -10  (product is 10 & sum is -11)

2y² - 1y - 10y + 5 = 0

2y² - 1y       -10y + 5        = 0

y(<u>2y - 1</u>)      -5(<u>2y - 1</u>)      = 0

(y - 5)(2y - 1) = 0

y - 5 = 0       and         2y - 1 = 0

     y = 5       and               y = 1/2

A device in your school Lab releases gas at a rate of, which means 0.25 of a liter of gas is released every second. The density
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

143.26 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = 4.3 g/l

Volume flow rate = 0.25 l/s

Mass flow rate = density x volume flow rate

= 4.3 x 0.25 = 1.075 g/s

This means 1.075 grams of the gas is released in 1 sec, therefore,

Time taken for leakage of 154 g of gas is

t = 154/1.075 = 143.26 sec

05) A polynomial function f of degree(6) whose coefficients are real numbers has the zeros i, 4-i,2+i . Find the remaining zeros
arlik [135]

The degree of the polynomial function f is the number of zeros function f has.

The remaining zeros of the polynomial function are -i, 4 + i and 2 - i

<h3>How to determine the remaining zeros</h3>

The degrees of the polynomial is given as;

Degree = 6

The zeros are given as:

i, 4-i,2+i

The above numbers are complex numbers.

This means that, their conjugates are also zeros of the polynomial

Their conjugates are -i, 4 + i and 2 - i

Hence, the remaining zeros of the polynomial function are -i, 4 + i and 2 - i
