Answer:

c^2 = 9dp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

dx^2 + cx + p = 0

Let the roots be \alpha and \beta

So:

\alpha = 2\beta

Required

Determine the relationship between d, c and p

dx^2 + cx + p = 0

Divide through by d

\frac{dx^2}{d} + \frac{cx}{d} + \frac{p}{d} = 0

x^2 + \frac{c}{d}x + \frac{p}{d} = 0

A quadratic equation has the form:

x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0

So:

x^2 - (2\beta+ \beta)x + \beta*\beta = 0

x^2 - (3\beta)x + \beta^2 = 0

So, we have:

\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta -- (1)

and

\frac{p}{d} = \beta^2 -- (2)

Make \beta the subject in (1)

\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta

\beta = -\frac{c}{3d}

Substitute \beta = -\frac{c}{3d} in (2)

\frac{p}{d} = (-\frac{c}{3d})^2

\frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}

Multiply both sides by d

d * \frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}*d

p = \frac{c^2}{9d}

Cross Multiply

9dp = c^2

or

c^2 = 9dp

Hence, the relationship between d, c and p is: c^2 = 9dp

Answer:

It will take Josie 80 minutes to run 10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion between the number of minutes she runs to the number of miles she runs. From what we know in the equation, we know that it takes her 24 minutes to run 3 miles, and it takes x minutes to run 10 miles. We can represent this in a proportion!

We know that the ratio of 24:3 will be the same for any number of miles, so we can say

\frac{24}{3} =\frac{x}{10\\}

We can solve this by first simplifying the left hand side then isolation x by multiple both sides of the equation by 10.

24/3 = 8

8 = \frac{x}{10}

80 = x

It will take Josie 80 minutes to run 10 miles.

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break, a total distance of 290 miles.
vredina [299]

Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.

at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.

Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is

50t

Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is

45(6 - t)

Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that

50t + 45(6 - t) = 290

50t + 270 - 45t = 290

50t - 45t = 290 - 270

5t = 20

t = 20/5 = 4

At 45 miles per hour, she drove at

6 - 4 = 2 hours
