Answer: a = -2

b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x^{2} +ax

re - writing the equation , we have

x^{2} +ax-b

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

x^{2} - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

x^{2} -2x-8=0 , which could be written in inequality form as

x^{2} -2x-8

comparing with x^{2} +ax-b , it means that :

a = -2

b = 8

the combined area of two squares is 45 square centimetres each side is twice as long as a side of the other square what length o
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Let the side of  one square be x.    Area = x*x = x²

Then the side of other square  would be 2x ,   Area = 2x*2x = 4x²

Combined area = x² + 4x²  = 5x²

This combined area = 45 cm²

you simplify

Therefore  5x²  = 45   Divide both sides by 5

                 x²  =  45/5

                 x²  = 9        Take square root of both sides

                 x   =  √9

                 x  = 3

Length of larger square is 2x  = 2*3 = 6 cm

Length of larger square = 6cm
