Answer:

B. $y=-\frac{2}{3}x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line: y=mx+b (Where m is the slope and b is the y- intercept)

Parallel lines have the same slope.

So that means that the line will have the slope $-\frac{2}{3}$ .

So we can write the equation of the line as y= -2/3x+b

Since it goes through the point (3,3) we can plug in 3 for x and y by doing:

$y=-\frac{2}{3} x+b\\3=-\frac{2}{3} (3)+b\\3=-2+b\\b=5$

Now we know the y intercept (b) we can write the equation of the line.

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+5$

The quadratic equation 8x²+12x-14 has two real roots. What is the sum of the squares of these roots?

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The real roots are

$x=\frac{(-3+\sqrt{37})}{4}$ and $x=\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}$

The sum of the squares of these roots is $\frac{-3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is $8x^2+12x-14$ has two real roots.

To find the roots .

$8x^2+12x-14=0$

Dividing the above equation by 2

$\frac{1}{2}(8x^2+12x-14)=\frac{0}{2}$

$4x^2+6x-7=0$

For quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solution is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where a and b are coefficents of $x^2$ and x respectively, c is a constant.

For given quadratic equation

a=4, b=6, c=-7

$x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{6^2-4(4)(-7)}}{2(4)}$

$=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{36+112}}{8}$

$=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{148}}{8}$

$=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{37\times 4}}{8}$

$=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{37}\times\sqrt{4}}{8}$

$=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{37}\times 2}{8}$

$=2\frac{(-3\pm\sqrt{37})}{8}$

$=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{37}}{4}$

$x=\frac{(-3\pm\sqrt{37})}{4}$

The real roots are

$x=\frac{(-3+\sqrt{37})}{4}$ and $x=\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}$

Now to find the sum of the squares of these roots

$\left[\frac{-3+\sqrt{37}}{4}+\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}\right]^2=\frac{-3+\sqrt{37}-3-\sqrt{37}}{4}$

$=\frac{-6}{4}$

$=\frac{-3}{2}$

$\left[\frac{-3+\sqrt{37}}{4}+\frac{(-3-\sqrt{37})}{4}\right]^2=\frac{-3}{2}$

Therefore the sum of the squares of these roots is $\frac{-3}{2}$
