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:

x = -8

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this expression using simultaneous equation, we would say let

y =9............................................. equation 1

 6x + 5y =-3............................................equation 2

substitute equation 1 into equation 2

-3 = 6x + 5y............................................equation 2

6x + 5(9) = -3

6x + 45 = -3

collect the like terms

6x = -3-45

6x = -48

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 6

6x/6 = -48/6

x = -8

therefore y = 9

x = -8

3(5y-6)-2y=8
15y-18-2y=8
13y-18=8
13y=26
y=2
That is because you have the expression you can substitute it on the system.( hope this helps)
