One of the roots of the equation 3x^2+7x−q=0 is −5. Find the other root and q.

Mathematics

Sidana [21]2 years ago

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = - 5 is a root of the equation then substituting x = - 5 into the equation allows q to be found

3(- 5)² + 7(- 5) - q = 0

75 - 35 - q = 0

40 - q = 0 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

- q = - 40 ⇒ q = 40

The equation can now be written as

3x² + 7x - 40 = 0

Factorise to find the other root

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 × - 40 = - 120 and sum = + 7

The factors are + 15 and - 8

Express the x- term using these factors

3x² + 15x - 8x - 40 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(x + 5) - 8(x + 5) = 0 ← factor out (x + 5)

(x + 5)(3x - 8) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5 ← root already known

3x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = \frac{8}{3} ← the other root

Answer:

9.89 m

Step-by-step explanation:

AC is the hypotenuse (H)

x is the opposite (O)

O and H are in sine

sin=O/H

H=O/sin

H=7.9/sin(53)

=9.89187169943418

Tamara was asked to write an example of a linear functional relationship. She wrote this example:
Llana [10]

Answer:

Tamara's example is in fact an example that represents a linear functional relationship.

  • This is because the cost of baby-sitting is linearly related to the amount of hours the nany spend with the child: the more hours the nany spends with the child, the higher the cost of baby-sitting, and this relation is constant: for every extra hour the cost increases at a constant rate of $6.5.
  • If we want to represent the total cost of baby-sitting in a graph, taking the variable "y" as the total cost of baby-sitting and the variable "x" as the amount of hours the nany remains with the baby, y=5+6.5x (see the graph attached).
  • The relation is linear because the cost increases proportionally with the amount of hours ($6.5 per hour).
  • See table attached, were you can see the increses in total cost of baby sitting (y) when the amount of hours (x) increases.
