If the sum of the zereos of the quadratic polynomial is 3x^2-(3k-2)x-(k-6) is equal to the product of the zereos, then find k?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So I'm going to use vieta's formula.

Let u and v the zeros of the given quadratic in ax^2+bx+c form.

By vieta's formula:

1) u+v=-b/a

2) uv=c/a

We are also given not by the formula but by this problem:

3) u+v=uv

If we plug 1) and 2) into 3) we get:

-b/a=c/a

Multiply both sides by a:

-b=c

Here we have:

a=3

b=-(3k-2)

c=-(k-6)

So we are solving

-b=c for k:

3k-2=-(k-6)

Distribute:

3k-2=-k+6

Add k on both sides:

4k-2=6

Add 2 on both side:

4k=8

Divide both sides by 4:

k=2

Let's check:

$3x^2-(3k-2)x-(k-6) \text{ with }k=2$ :

$3x^2-(3\cdot 2-2)x-(2-6)$

$3x^2-4x+4$

I'm going to solve $3x^2-4x+4=0$ for x using the quadratic formula:

$\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\frac{4\pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(3)(4)}}{2(3)}$

$\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16-16(3)}}{6}$

$\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16}\sqrt{1-(3)}}{6}$

$\frac{4\pm 4\sqrt{-2}}{6}$

$\frac{2\pm 2\sqrt{-2}}{3}$

$\frac{2\pm 2i\sqrt{2}}{3}$

Let's see if uv=u+v holds.

$uv=\frac{2+2i\sqrt{2}}{3} \cdot \frac{2-2i\sqrt{2}}{3}$

Keep in mind you are multiplying conjugates:

$uv=\frac{1}{9}(4-4i^2(2))$

$uv=\frac{1}{9}(4+4(2))$

$uv=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}$

Let's see what u+v is now:

$u+v=\frac{2+2i\sqrt{2}}{3}+\frac{2-2i\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$u+v=\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{3}$

We have confirmed uv=u+v for k=2.

Can someone help me with these two questions?

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

17) A(-1,1) B(-1,4) C(5,1)

18) (From origin moving rightwards)

A(0,0) B(a, 0) C(a,a) D(0,a)

Step-by-step explanation:

17) You just count the steps, how many steps left, right, up, or down

18) The first point is at the origin, so 0,0

The second point that lies on the x axis is (a,0) as it is a distance from the origin, 0 because it's on the x-axis.

The third point is (a,a) because it is a distance to the right of the origin AND a distance upwards from the x axis.

The fourth point (0,a) because it is on the vertical line (0) and is a distance above the origin.

The distance d, in centimeters, that a diving board bends below its resting position when you stand at its end is dependent on y

kaheart [24]

Answer:

d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the distance d, in centimeters, that a diving board bends below its resting position when you stand at its end is dependent on your distance x, in meters, from the stabilized point

$d(x)=-4x^3+x^2$

For finding out the distances for x=1 and x=2

let us substitute 1 and 2 for x

$d(1) = -4(1^3)+1^2 = -3$

$d(2) = -4(2^3)+2^2 \\= -28$

d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
