Find the roots. 3x2 - 5x+ 2 =0

Mathematics
1 answer:
tigry1 [53]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² - 5x + 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 3 × 2 = 6 and sum = - 5

The factors are - 3 and - 2

Use these factors to split the x- term

3x² - 3x - 2x + 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(x - 1) - 2(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

(x - 1)(3x - 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x = \frac{2}{3}

Roots are x = 1, x = \frac{2}{3}

Suppose each runner ran at the rate given in the table above for 3.1 miles. How much time will elapse between the first place fi
Scilla [17]
You didn't include the table but I found this table for the same statement, so I will answer you based on the next table:

Runner         distance           time

Arabella        7,299 feet        561 seconds
Bettina          3,425 yards     13 minutes, 12 seconds
Chandra       8,214 feet        0,195 hours
Divya            1,62 miles        732 seconds

To answer the question you must find the rate for each runner and then calculate the time to run 3.1 miles at each rate.

First you need to convert the data to obtain the rate in miles per second.

These are the main conversion identities:

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 mile = 1760 yards

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Arabella:

rate: 7,229 feet / 561 seconds * (1 mile / 5280 feet)  =

= 0.00244 mile/second

Time to run 3.1 miles: V = d / t => t = d / V = 3.1 miles / 0.00244 mile/second = 1270 seconds

Bettina:

13 minutes + 12 seconds = 13*60 seconds +12 seconds = 792 seconds

rate = 3425 yards / 792 seconds * 1 mile / 1760 yards = 0.00246 mile/seconds

Time to run 3.1 miles = 3.1 miles / 0.00246 mile/second = 1260 seconds

Chandra:

rate = 8214 feet / 0.195 hours * 1 mile / 5280 feet * 1hour / 3600 seconds =

= 0.00222 seconds

Time = 3.1 mile / 0.00222 seconds = 0.389 hour = 1396 seconds

Divya:

rate = 1.62 miles / 732 seconds = 0.00221 seconds

Time = 3.1 mile / 0.00221 seconds = 1403 seconds

Now you can find the difference between fhe last and the first 1403 seconds - 1260 seconds = 143 seconds

That is equivalent to 2.38 seconds.

The degree of a vertex is <br><br> Help please
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

is the number of graph edges which touch v

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the degree of a graph, figure out all of the vertex degrees.  The degree of the graph will be its largest vertex degree.   The degree of the network is 5.  

 

Once you know the degree of the verticies we can tell if the graph is a traversable by lookin at odd and even vertecies.  First lets look how you tell if a vertex is even or odd.

While taking a ride in a hot-air balloon in Napa Valley, Francisco wonders how high he is. To find out, he chooses a landmark th
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:the height of the balloon is 670.244 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The right angle triangle BLD represents the scenario.

h represents the height of the balloon.

We would apply trigonometric ratio to determine h.

Tan # = opposite side/adjacent side

Looking at triangle LCD,

# = 61 degrees

h = opposite side

x = adjacent side

Tan 61 = h/x

1.7321 = h/x

h = 1.7321x

Looking at triangle LBD,

# = 54 degrees

h = opposite side

x + 100 = adjacent side

Tan 54 = h/x + 100

1.3764 = h/x + 100

h = 1.3764(x + 100)

Therefore,

1.7321x = 1.3764(x + 100)

1.7321x = 1.3764x + 137.64

137.64 = 1.7321x - 1.3764x

137.64 = 0.3557x

x = 137.64/0.3557 = 386.955

h = 1.7321x = 386.955 × 1.7321

h = 670.244 feet

mezya [45]
You find the HCF which is 8
you divide 32 and 24 by 8
which will give you 4 and 3 respectively
therefore there will be 4 slices of turkey and 3 slices of cheese in each sandwich.
and there will be 8 sandwiches...
