Answer:

15 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

I used an insert and check kind of method. Basically you insert numbers and check if they work for both equations. the equations are as follow:

X + Y = 38

X - Y = 8

I inserted various combinations of numbers and we'll use one as reference.

I used 16 and 22. 16 and 22 correctly fits the requirements of the first equation but when we do 22 - 16 we see that it equals 6. this is 2 off from the second equation. Using this info I ask myself, was the answer close or far from the answer needed.

Hope this answered any questions. please comment on this if you need any othern have a nice day!

Answer:

Since the sum is 38, y must be 15. And indeed the difference between 23 and 15 is 8, so it's correct.

Find a quadratic polynomial the sum and product of whose zeroes are -8 and 12 respectively. Hence find the zeroes.
Olenka [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

We khow the sum and the product of the zeroes of this quadratic polynomial

Here is a trick :

when we khow the sum S and the product P ofvtwo numbers we can find them by solving :

x²-Sx+p=0

here S= -8 and P=12

so:

x²+8x+12=0

Let Δ be the discrminant of this equation: a= 1 , b= 8 and c=12

Δ= 8²-4*12 =16

the zeros are:

(-8-4)/2= -6

(-8+4)/2 = -2

verify:

-6+(-2)= -8

-2*(-6)= 12

now the polynomial quadratic is:

(x+6)(x+2)
