I need help so I can pass this plz ASAP

The chances of an event occurring are defined by probability. Probability has several uses in games, in business to create probability-based forecasts,

Given data;

Total no of students = 115

The total number of ways to elect a president = 115

If one person is elected as the president the total number of ways to elect a president = 114

The different ways that the students can elect a president and a vice president are found as;

⇒ 115 ways × 114 ways

⇒ 13110 ways

Hence the different ways that the students can elect a president and a vice president will be 13110.

The roots of 2x^2-3x=4 are a and b. Find the simplest quadratic equation which has roots 1/a and 1/b

Tju [1.3M]

Find the roots

solve
we use hmm, completing the suare
2(x²-1.5x)=4
divide both sides by 2
x²-1.5x=2
take 1/2 of linear coeiftn and square it
-1.5/2=-0.75, (-0.75)²=0.5625
add that to both sides
x²-1.5x+0.5625=2+0.5625
factor perfect squaer trinomial
(x-0.75)²=2.5625
square root both sides, remember to take positive and negative square roots
x-0.75=+/-√2.5625
add 0.75 to both sides
x=0.75+/-√2.5625

the roots are x=0.75+√2.5625 and x=0.75-√2.5625

1/a and 1/b
1/(0.75+√2.5625) and 1/(0.75-√2.5625)

if the roots of a quadratic equation are r1 and r2 then it factors to
(x-r1)(x-r2)
so then we can factor our equation to be
$(x-\frac{1}{0.75+\sqrt{2.5625}})(x-\frac{1}{0.75-\sqrt{2.5625}})$

if we were to try and expand it, we would get
x²+0.75x-0.5
that's the simpliest equation with roots 1/a and 1/b where a and b are he roots of 2x²-3x=4

x²+0.75x-0.5 is answer
