Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and -4 and whose leading coefficient is 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Goryan [66]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

2x^2+4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic can be written as

f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots

f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)

a is the leading coefficient

f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)

     = 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)

     = 2(x^2 +2x-8)

     = 2x^2 +4x-16

A taxi charges a pick-up fee p!us a charge per mile. Maria paid $15.00 for a 7 mile rode. To my paid $19.50 for a 10 mile ride.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee.  The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation.  A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change.  For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost.  In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5.  So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50.  To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'.  So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b.  or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.

A circle inside of a square. The circle touches all sides of the square. The base is 5 centimeters.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

19.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

If a circle fits perfectly inside of a square, then its diameter is equal to the length of sides of the square.

The area of a circle is given by:

A= \pi \frac{d^2}{4}

In this problem, d = 5 cm, the area of the circle is:

A= 3.14 *\frac{5^2}{4} \\A=19.6\ cm^2

The approximate area of the circle is 19.6 cm².
