400 because divide 60 by 15 in order to get 1% of the unknown number, which is 4. Then, just multiply 4 by 100 to get 100% of the number, which equals 400.

The quadratic equation 8x²+12x-14 has two real roots. What is the sum of the squares of these roots?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The real roots are

x=\frac{(-3+\sqrt{37})}{4} and x=\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}

The sum of the squares of these roots is \frac{-3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is 8x^2+12x-14 has two real roots.

To find the roots .

8x^2+12x-14=0

Dividing the above equation by 2

\frac{1}{2}(8x^2+12x-14)=\frac{0}{2}

4x^2+6x-7=0

For quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 the solution is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Where a and b are coefficents of x^2 and x respectively, c is a constant.

For given quadratic equation

a=4, b=6, c=-7

x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{6^2-4(4)(-7)}}{2(4)}

=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{36+112}}{8}

=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{148}}{8}

=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{37\times 4}}{8}

=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{37}\times\sqrt{4}}{8}

=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{37}\times 2}{8}

=2\frac{(-3\pm\sqrt{37})}{8}

=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{37}}{4}

x=\frac{(-3\pm\sqrt{37})}{4}

The real roots are

x=\frac{(-3+\sqrt{37})}{4} and x=\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}

Now to find the sum of the squares of these roots

\left[\frac{-3+\sqrt{37}}{4}+\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}\right]^2=\frac{-3+\sqrt{37}-3-\sqrt{37}}{4}

=\frac{-6}{4}

=\frac{-3}{2}

\left[\frac{-3+\sqrt{37}}{4}+\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}\right]^2=\frac{-3}{2}

Therefore the sum of the squares of these roots is \frac{-3}{2}

X2-3xy-5xy-7y2+4x2+8y2
Zepler [3.9K]

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

x ^ 2-3xy-5xy-7y ^ 2 + 4x ^ 2 + 8y ^ 2

We must add similar terms taking into account that:

  • Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
  • Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

(x ^ 2 + 4x ^ 2) + (- 3xy-5xy) + (- 7y ^ 2 + 8y ^ 2) =\\5x ^ 2-8xy + y ^ 2

Thus, the simplified expression is:

5x ^ 2-8xy + y ^ 2

Answer:

5x ^ 2-8xy + y ^ 2
