The correct answer is D.
Sally is 3 years younger than Ralph therefore S=R-3 which means Sally is Ralph’s age minus 3.

Sum of positive roots of the equation (x2 - 12x + 35) (x2 + 10x + 24) = 504 is

Digiron [165]

Answer:

(3)11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$(x^2-12x+35)(x^2+10x+24)=504$

We have to find the sum of positive roots of the equation.

$x^2(x^2+10x+24)-12x(x^2+10x+24)+35(x^2+10x+24)=504$

$x^4+10x^3+24x^2-12x^3-120x^2-288x+35x^2+350x+840=504$

$x^4-2x^3-61x^2+62x+840-504=0$

$x^4-2x^3-61x^2+62x+336=0$

Factor of 336

2,3,4,6,8,7,

Let x=2

$2^4-2^4-61(2^2)+62(2)+336\neq0$

x=2 is not the root of equation

x=-2

$(-2)^4-2(-2)^3-61(-2)^2+62(-2)+336=0$

Hence x=-2 is the root of equation.

x+2 is a factor of equation.

x=3

$3^4-2(3^3)-61(3^2)+62(3)+336=0$

Therefore, x=3 is the root of equation.

$(x+2)(x-3)(x^2-x-56)=0$

$(x+2)(x-3)(x^2-8x+7x-56)=0$

$(x+2)(x-3)(x(x-8)+7(x-8))=0$

$(x+2)(x-3)(x-8)(x+7)=0$

$x-8=0\implies x=8$

$x+7=0\implies x=-7$

Positive roots are 3 and 8

Sum of positive roots=3+8=11

Option (3) is true.

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 4 and 5, and whose leading coefficient is 4.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Answer: 4x² - 9x + 20 

Step-by-step explanation:

• General quadratic equation:

${ \rm{ {x}^{2} - (sum \: of \: roots)x + (product \: of \: roots) }}$

• sum of roots → 4 + 5 = 9

• product of roots → 4 × 5 = 20

• substitute:

${ \boxed{ \rm{4 {x}^{2} - 9x + 20 }}}$
