The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: $3x^2+10x+c =0$

A quadratic equation is in the form: $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}$

Simplify:

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is $4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

i.e,

$x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}$

Here,

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ , ......[2]

$x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ .....[3]

then;

$\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}$

simplify:

$\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}$

or

$\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14$

Squaring both sides we get;

$100-12c = 196$

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

$100-12c -100= 196-100$

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve $x_1 , x_2$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}$

Now, to solve for $x_2$ ;

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_2 = -2$

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: $-\frac{4}{3}$ and -2.

What is the difference between the x-coordinates of B and C?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Therefore, the point P (-3.5, 1.25) is the point 3/4 distance of A to B from A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point at which the two axes intersect is called the origin. ... In an ordered pair, such as (x, y), the first value is called the x-coordinate and the second value is the y-coordinate.

HELP ASAP!!!!!!<br> Ken and Betty each write a proof of the statement: if m

shepuryov [24]

The statement third "Betty wrote an indirect proof using contradiction' and statement fourth "Ken wrote direct proof using deductive evidence" are correct.

<h3>What is an angle?</h3>

When two lines or rays converge at the same point, the measurement between them is called a "Angle."

We have Ken's statements are shown in the table:

Angle AOC = Angle BOD (given)

Angle AOB + Angle BOC = Angle BOC + Angle COD (angle addition postulate)

Angle AOB = ANgle COD (subtraction property of equality)

Ken wrote direct proof using deductive evidence.

As we can in betty's proof:

Betty wrote an indirect proof using contradiction.

Thus, the statement third "Betty wrote an indirect proof using contradiction' and statement fourth "Ken wrote direct proof using deductive evidence" are correct.
