<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

I need help on this question please
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: NEITHER

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation of lines given above, to know if relationships exist between the two lines, we must  first determine that  from their gradients or slopes.

From first equation

2x - y = 5,

      y = 2x - 5

Therefore, m₁ = 2

From the second equation

3x - y = 5

       y = 3x - 5

Therefore m₂ = 3

Recall, For the two lines to be parallel, m₁ = m₂ , and for the two line to be perpendicular, m₁m₂ = -1

since none fulfilled the conditions stated above, the answer then is

NEITHER
