Answer:
The answer is 9/10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: 3/4/5/6. This means, 3/4 is being divided by 5/6 and so you write it in that form. Take this for an example. 2/4 divided by 3 is 2/4/3.
Step 2: 3/4 ÷ 5/6. This is because, we want the question to be easy to simplify. Also, we want to write the division question as a multiplication problem. And this sign ( / ) means to divide.
Step 3: 3/4 × 6/5. This is because in Maths, when a fraction is dividing another fraction, that fraction is reciprocated ( the fraction at the right side.) Reciprocated here means the denominator is made the numerator and the numerator is made the denominator.
Step 4: 3/2 × 3/5. How? We cancelled out. 2 goes into 4 twice and into 6 thrice.
Step 5: 9/10. We multiplied 3/2 × 3/5 to get 9/10.
We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are
(-5,0) and (1,0)
So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle
lets find the length of the base using the distance formula
the base b=6
We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation
y=a(0+5)(0-1)
y=-5a
so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)
We know that the area of the triangle =
× 6 × (5a) = 12
15a=12
a=
