Which are the roots of the quadratic function f(b) = 62 – 75? Select two options.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

$b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(b) = b^2 - 75$

Required

Determine the roots

To get the root of the function, then f(b) must be 0;

i.e. f(b) = 0

So, the expression becomes

$0 = b^2 - 75$

Add 75 to both sides

$75 + 0 = b^2 - 75 + 75$

$75 = b^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{b^2}$

$\sqrt{75} = b$

Reorder

$b = \sqrt{75}$

Expand 75 as a product of 25 and 3

$b = \sqrt{25*3}$

Split the expression

$b = \sqrt{25} *\sqrt{3}$

$b = \±5 *\sqrt{3}$

$b = \±5 \sqrt{3}$

$b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}$

The options are not clear enough; however the roots of the equation are $b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}$

the perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle the length of a side of the square is given by th

diamong [38]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the length of a side of the square is x.

Now, perimeter of square = 4 × side length

Perimeter of square = 4x

Also,we are told that the triangle is equilateral and a side is (x + 1).

Thus, perimeter of triangle = 3(x + 1)

Since we are told that the perimeter of the square is equal to that of the equilateral triangle. Thus;

4x = 3(x + 1)

4x = 3x + 3

Subtract 3x from both sides to get;

4x - 3x = 3

x = 3

Consider the following problem: A farmer with 750 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four

gregori [183]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = -5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = -5x/2 + 750/2

y = -2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width. In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x(-2.5x+375)

A = -2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = -2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex. First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = -b/2a

x = -375/2(-2.5) = -375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = -2.5x² + 375x

A = -2.5(75)² + 375(75) = -2.5(5625) + 28125 = -14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5
