The lenght of the library is 13 inches.The lenght of the actual library is 78 feet. Which scale leon use to create the scale dra
Allisa [31]

So the scale used was

1 inch = 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of library on drawing = 13 inches

Actual length of library = 78 feet

In order to find the scale we divide the actual length by the length of library on drawing.

So,

Scale = Scale = \frac{Actual\ length}{Length\ on\ drawing}\\=\frac{78}{13}\\=6

So the scale used was

1 inch = 6 feet

Consider the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+5=0,where a, b and c are rational numbers and the quadratic has two distinct zeros.
FrozenT [24]
You have shared the situation (problem), except for the directions:  What are you supposed to do here?  I can only make a educated guesses.  See below:

Note that if    <span>ax^2+bx+5=0    then it appears that c = 5 (a rational number).

Note that for simplicity's sake, we need to assume that the "two distinct zeros" are real numbers, not imaginary or complex numbers.  If this is the case, then the discriminant,    b^2 - 4(a)(c), must be positive.  Since c = 5, 

b^2 - 4(a)(5) > 0, or b^2 - 20a > 0.

Note that if the quadratic has two distinct zeros, which we'll call "d" and "e," then 

(x-d) and (x-e) are factors of ax^2 + bx + 5 = 0, and that because of this fact,

         - b plus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
d =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

and

 </span>         - b minus sqrt( b^2 - 20a )
e =  ------------------------------------
                      2a

Some (or perhaps all) of these facts may help us find the values of "a" and "b."  Before going into that, however, I'm asking you to share the rest of the problem statement.  What, specificallyi, were you asked to do here?
