Well it’s easy x=3

Because if you see power to any number of you need to multiply just add the powers for example 2^3 • 2^4 = 2^7.

You don’t need to multiply #2. And just add up the ^

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.

Factor completely.

Serga [27]

Factor the polynomial:

4u² – 20u + 25

Rewrite – 20u as – 10u – 10u, and then factor it by grouping:

= 4u² – 10u – 10u + 25

= 2u * (2u – 5) – 5 * (2u – 5)

= (2u – 5) * (2u – 5)

= (2u – 5)² <––– this is the answer.

I hope this helps. =)

HELP PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURE

solniwko [45]

Answer:

It decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 / d

Lets say that it was 10 / 40, which is 10 divided by 40, 0.25.

Now, it has increased to twice the amount of that.

1 / 80, 10 divided by 80, which is 0.125

So, it decreases.

A hockey season ticket holder pays $88.56 for her tickets plus $5.00 for a program each game. A second person pays $19.76 for a

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation: If you take 88.56 + 5x = 19.76x, an equation, you should first rearrange the variables to the left side of the equation: 5x - 19.76x = -88.56.

Next, you should combine your like terms. So, -14.76 = -88.56.

Then, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable. So, x = -88.56 / -14.76./

Lastly, calculate. Determine the sign for multiplication or division, so x = 88.56 / 14.76. Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer. So, x = 8856 / 1476. Cross out the common factor, then you get your answer of x = 6
