Answer:
second option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 6x² + 5 = 0
let u = x², then
u² + 6u + 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(u + 1)(u + 5) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for u
u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1
u + 5 = 0 ⇒ u = - 5
Change u back into terms of x, that is
x² = - 1 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± = ± i ( noting that
= i ), and
x² = - 5 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± = ±
= ±
×
= ± i
Solutions are x = ± i and x = ± i
Given that,
Total no of cards = 20
The ratio of animal cards to fruit cards is 2:3
No of animal cards = 20
Solution,
Let there are 2x animal cards and 3x fruit cards. ATQ,
2x+3x = 20
5x = 20
x = 4
Animal cards = 2x
= 2(4)
= 8
Fruit cards = 3x
= 3(4)
= 12
It is also mentioned that, of the cards, 1/3 have bananas on them. It means,
Hence, 4 cards have bananas on them.
