Answer:

  • c = 3.09375

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Standard for of quadratic equation:</u>

  • ax² + bx + c = 0

<u>We have </u>

  • 2x² - 5x + c = 0

<u>Sum of the roots </u>

  • x₁ + x₂ = - b/a = -(-5)/2 = 2.5

<u>Product of the roots </u>

  • x₁x₂ = c/a = c / 2

<u>We have:</u>

  • x₁ - x₂ = 0.25

<u>The square of the above is:</u>

  • (x₁ - x₂)² = (x₁ + x₂)² - 4x₁x₂

<u>Substitute known values and solve for c:</u>

  • 0.25² = (2.5)² - 4(c/2)
  • 2c = 6.25 - 0.0625
  • 2c = 6.1875
  • c = 3.09375

May anyone help me with this please

Answer:

x = - 8, x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 15x + 30 = 3x - 2 ( subtract 3x - 2 from both sides )

x² + 12x + 32 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 32) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 12)

The factors are + 8 and + 4 , since

8 × 4 = + 32 and 8 + 4 = + 12 , then

(x + 8)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

1 -For what value of x is line a parallel to line b
IgorC [24]

Answer:

1) x = 17,  line a parallel to line b

2) x = 18,  line a parallel to line b

Step-by-step explanation:

If line a parallel to line b then (10x - 40) + 50 = 180

Solve for x

10x - 40 + 50 = 180

Combine like terms

10x + 10 = 180

10x = 170

  x = 17

x = 17,  line a parallel to line b

-------------------------------------------------

If line a parallel to line b then 5x - 16 = 74

Solve for x

5x - 16 = 74

5x = 90

  x = 18

x = 18,  line a parallel to line b
