Answer:

6-n

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term, a is 5 and the common difference is - 1.

So an=a+(n-1)d, an=5+(n-1)(-1)=5-n+1=6-n. Answered by Gauthmath

The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: 3x^2+10x+c =0

A quadratic equation is in the form: ax^2+bx+c = 0 where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}

Simplify:

x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is 4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}

i.e,

x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}

Here,

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} ,     ......[2]

x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}       .....[3]

then;

\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}

simplify:

\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}

or

\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14

Squaring both sides we get;

100-12c = 196

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

100-12c -100= 196-100

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve x_1 , x_2

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}

or

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6} or

x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}

Simplify:

x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}

Now, to solve for x_2 ;

x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}

or

x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6} or

x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}

Simplify:

x_2 = -2

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: -\frac{4}{3} and -2.

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

5P2 = 5!/(5-2)!

= 5!/3!

= 5×4×3!/3!

= 5×4

= 20

the length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width.if the perimeter of the rectangle is 146,find the area of the rectangle
raketka [301]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W), where L is its length and W is its width

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W

∵ The length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width

- Assume that the width of the rectangle is x units and multiply

   x by 2 and subtract 5 from the product to find its length

∴ W = x

∴ L = 2x - 5

- Use the formula of the perimeter above to find its perimeter

∵ P = 2(2x - 5 + x)

∴ P = 2(3x - 5)

- Multiply the bracket by 2

∴ P = 6x - 10

∵ The perimeter of the rectangle is 146 units

∴ P = 146

- Equate the two expression of P

∴ 6x - 10 = 146

- Add 10 to both sides

∴ 6x = 156

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 26

Substitute the value of x in W and L expressions

∴ W = 26 units

∴ L = 2(26) - 5 = 52 - 5

∴ L = 47 units

Now use the formula of the area to find the area of the rectangle

∵ A = 47 × 26

∴ A = 1222 units²

∴ The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²
