How do i solve quadratics and quadratic formula

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
4 0

<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

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: 68887

Step-by-step explanation: the geometics series is (the previous number in the series) x 3, so 63 x 3 =189 x 3 =567 x 3 = 1701 x 3 = 5103 x 3 =15309 x 3 = 45927 and you add all those numbers up to get 68887

jess has $22 and saves $5 each week rosie has $10 and saves $8 each week how many weeks till they have the same amount of money
Lemur [1.5K]
Answer: 5 weeks

Explanation:
Jess starts with $22 and saves $5 per week, Rosie has $10 and saves $8 per week.

In order to find an equal amount of money between the two girls is by finding a common denominator.

Jess- 22, 27, 32, 37, 42
Rosie- 10, 18, 26, 34, 42

Since we found that they can both end up with $42, after a certain amount of weeks have passed, now you’ll want to count how many numbers are in each row to find the amount of weeks it took to get to an equal amount

Which equation is correct
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
1. Two of the main identities used in trigonometry for right triangles (Triangles that have an angle of 90°) are: Sine (Sin) and Cosine (Cos).


 Sin x°=Opposite/Hypotenuse

 Cos x°=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

 2. The inverse of Sinx° is Cosec x°, then:

 Cosec x°=1/Sin x°

 3. The inverse of Cos x° is Sec x°, then:

 Sec x°=1/Cos x°

 4. Keeping this on mind, you have:

 Cosc x°=Hypotenuse/Opposite

 Sec x°=Hypotenuse/Adjacent

 5. Therefore, the correct answer is:

 The third option: Cosec x°=Hypotenuse/Opposite.

How would you do a,b,c,and d
I am Lyosha [343]

a) You are told the function is quadratic, so you can write cost (c) in terms of speed (s) as

... c = k·s² + m·s + n

Filling in the given values gives three equations in k, m, and n.

28 = k\cdot 10^2+m\cdot 10+n\\21=k\cdot 20^2+m\cdot 20+n\\16=k\cdot 30^2+m\cdot 30+n

Subtracting each equation from the one after gives

-7=300k+10m\\-5=500k+10m

Subtracting the first of these equations from the second gives

2=200k\\\\k=\dfrac{2}{200}=0.01

Using the next previous equation, we can find m.

-5=500\cdot 0.01+10m\\\\m=\dfrac{-10}{10}=-1

Then from the first equation

[tex]28=100\cdot 0.01+10\cdot (-1)+n\\\\n=37[tex]

There are a variety of other ways the equation can be found or the system of equations solved. Any way you do it, you should end with

... c = 0.01s² - s + 37

b) At 150 kph, the cost is predicted to be

... c = 0.01·150² -150 +37 = 112 . . . cents/km

c) The graph shows you need to maintain speed between 40 and 60 kph to keep cost at or below 13 cents/km.

d) The graph has a minimum at 12 cents per km. This model predicts it is not possible to spend only 10 cents per km.
