Answer:

\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a}

\alpha  \beta = \frac{c}{a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Roots: \alpha \& \beta

Required

Show that:

\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a}

\alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a}

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Divide through by a

\frac{a}{a}x^2 + \frac{b}{a}x + \frac{c}{a} = \frac{0}{a}

x^2 + \frac{b}{a}x + \frac{c}{a} = 0

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

x^2 - (Sum)x + (Product) = 0

By comparison, we have:

-(Sum)x = \frac{b}{a}x

-(Sum) = \frac{b}{a}

Sum is calculated as:

Sum = \alpha + \beta

So, we have:

-(\alpha + \beta) = \frac{b}{a}

Divide both sides by -1

\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a}

Similarly;

Product = \frac{c}{a}

Product is calculated as:

Product = \alpha * \beta

So, we have:

\alpha * \beta = \frac{c}{a}

\alpha  \beta = \frac{c}{a}

Using proportions, it is found that she spent 25.76 hours at Yoga.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that the circle graph shows that she spent 28% of her time of 92 hours on yoga, hence:

h = 0.28 x 92 = 25.76.

Hence, she spent 25.76 hours at Yoga.

Answer:

B. 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Final figure volume = big cuboid volume - small cuboid volume

Volume of a cuboid = height x width x length

Final figure = (6 x 6 x 15) - (4 x 4 x 15)

Final figure = 540 - 240

Final figure = 300mm^2
