What are the zeros of the following quadratic equation: y = 6x2 - 17x - 3

Mathematics

Mama L [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{1}{6}, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

y = 6x^2 - 17x - 3

Factor by grouping:

y = 6x^2 - 18x+1x - 3\\y = 6x(x- 3)+1x - 3\\y = 6x(x- 3)+(x - 3)\\y = (6x+1)(x- 3)

Let y=0. Apply the zero product property:

0 = (6x+1)(x- 3)

6x+1=0\\6x=-1\\\\\displaystyle x=-\frac{1}{6}

AND

x-3=0\\x=3

I hope this helps!

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Some 224 people were in favor of the expansion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, according to the recent poll, 22 1/4% of the people polled said that they approved of the city plan to expand the library, if 1004 people was polled, to determine how many were in favor of the expansion should be done the following calculation:

1/4 = 0.25

100 = 1004

22.25 = X

1004 x 22.25 / 100 = X

223.39 = X

Thus, some 224 people were in favor of the expansion.

Perform the operation(s) and write the answer in simplest form.
ss7ja [257]
First do 12-5, which equals 7.  Next, subtract 1/10 from 2/5.  2/5 is the same as 4/10 if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.  4/10-1/10=3/10. Now add 7 and 3/10.  You will get 7 3/10 as the answer, which is letter C.)
