Answer:
(a;b)={(17; 64); (64; 17)}
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b=81 => b=81-a
a*b=1088
a*(81-a)=1088
-a²+81a=1088
a²-81a+1088=0
a²-64a-17a+1088=0
a(a-64)-17(a-64)=0
(a-17)(a-64)=0
=> a=17 and a=64
for a=17 => b=81-17=64
for a=64 => b=81-64=17
(a;b)={(17; 64); (64; 17)}
OPTION A is the correct answer.
Hello there,
If c=-2 just plug in -2 for every c you see.
(-2)²-7(-2)-8
This simplifies to
4+14-8
18-8
10
Hope this helps!
