Given that x=1.5 is the only solution to the equation 4x^2 - ax + b = 0, find the values of a and b. Show all workings.

evablogger [386]

If x = 1.5 is the only solution to the equation 4x² - ax + b =0 then

4x² - ax + b = 4(x - 1.5)² |use p² - 2pq + q² = (p - q)²

4x² - ax + b = 4(x² - 2x · 1.5 + 1.5²)

4x² - ax + b = 4(x² - 3x + 2.25)

4x² - ax + b = 4x² - 12x + 9 |subtract 4x² from both sides

-ax + b = -12x + 9

therefore

-a = -12 ⇒ a = 12 and b = 9

The volume of a cone is 36 pi inches cubed. What is the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height as the cone? 12 pe in

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

108 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for volume of a cone is (1/3) * π * r² * h

36 pi = (1/3) * π * r² * h

108 pi= π * r² * h

108 = r² * h

Formula for volume of a cylinder: πr²h
