Mathematics

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

If you rearrange the equation so w is the independent variable, then what is u?<br><br> -2u+6w=9
Serjik [45]

Answer:

u  = - ( 9-6w)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

to  evaluate for u in the expression -2u+6w=9 is simply to look for a way such that we would express u in terms of w and other variables.

solution

-2u+6w=9

-2u = 9 - 6w

divide both sides by the coefficient of u which is -2

-2u/u = 9 - 6w/-2

u  = - ( 9-6w)/2

therefore the value of u when rearranged in the equation -2u+6w=9 is evaluated to be equals to

u  = - ( 9-6w)/2

Y=3/4x - 6 find the x-intercept of the line
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The x intercept is (8,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x intercept set y = 0 and solve for x

Y=3/4x - 6

0 =3/4x - 6

6 = 3/4x

4/3 *6 = 4/3*3/4x

8 =x

The x intercept is (8,0)

PLEASEEEE HELP THANK YOU!!!
Temka [501]

Answer:

- 4 < x ≤ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 10 ≤ - 5x + 25 < 45 ( subtract 25 from all 3 intervals )

- 35 ≤ - 5x < 20

Divide all 3 intervals by - 5, reversing the inequality signs as a consequence.

7 ≥ x > - 4

Hence - 4 < x ≤ 7
