Answer:

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

Emily's age = 15 years

Tuli's age = 15 - 10 = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let

Emily age = a

Tuli age =  a - 10

Two years ago their ages will be as follows.

Emily's age = a - 2

Tuli's age = a - 10 - 2 = a - 12

The product of their ages 2 years ago is 39.

(a - 2)(a - 12) = 39

a² - 12a - 2a + 24 - 39 = 0

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

To get a

a² + a - 15a - 15 = 0

a(a + 1) - 15(a + 1)

(a + 1)(a - 15)

a = -1 or 15

we can only use 15 as it is positive.

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b, and c are integers.
Vikki [24]

A quadratic with roots at 8 and 5 is f(x) = x^2 +12x + 20

In order to find an equation given roots you can create statements that equal 0 in order to create parenthesis. For instance we know x = 8 at one point. So, we can solve that to equal 0.

x = -2 ----> add 2 to both sides

x + 2 = 0

We can do the same for the other zero.

x = -10 ----> add 10 to both sides

x + 10 = 0

Now that we have both of these, we can multiply these two things together. This will give us the function we need.

f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 10)

f(x) = x^2 + 10x + 2x + 20

f(x) = x^2 + 12x + 20

HELP with these two.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1. d = -6 2. n = -80

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 42 by -252 you get -6. And if you use your mental math you see that two negatives make a positive then you see it has to be negative and 80/4= 20 than -80/-4 = 20. Hope this helps, let me know if correct, and have a great day!!
