40 cm.

let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.

where x is a positive length in cm.

why 3x,4x and 5x ?

so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.

total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm

so x=96/12 = 8cm

therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm

How do you solve 2x^2 - 7x -5= 0 in quadratic form?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Once the equation is in standard form, factor the quadratic expression. 2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0 (2x + 1)(x + 3) = 0. Using the Zero Product Property set ...

2x2 + 7x = -3

2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0

Once the equation is in standard form, factor the quadratic expression.

2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0

(2x + 1)(x + 3) = 0

Using the Zero Product Property set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

2x + 1 = 0  

2x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1 x + 3 = 0

2x = -1 x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

2x 2 = -1 2 x = -3

x = -1 2  

The solutions to the equation are -1 2 and -3.
