What two numbers multiply to get 18 but add to get -12

Mathematics
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

-6+3\sqrt{2} and -6-3\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 18

x+y = -12

y = -12-x

substitution method:

x(-12-x) = 18

-12x - x² - 18 = 0

-x² - 12x - 18 = 0

-(x² + 12x + 18) = 0

used quadratic formula:

(-12±√144 - 4(18)) ÷ 2

(-12 ± \sqrt{72}) ÷ 2

(-12 ± 6\sqrt{2}) ÷ 2

= -6 ± 3\sqrt{2}

It takes an airplane 5/12 of a minute to fly 3/4 of a mile. What is the airplanes speed per minute?
Nikitich [7]
To make this a little easier, you would want to turn 3/4 into 9/12, to match 5/12's denominator.

You would then just add 7/1 to both fractions

(5/12+7/1=12/12 or 1 minutes)
(9/12+7/1=16/12=1 1/3)

So your answer would be 1.333... miles per minute

Hope this helps
