Learning Task 4. Solve the problem by applying the sum and product of roots

Mathematics

Delvig [45]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation:

x^2+bx+c=0

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.

We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:

P=2(L+W)=36

A=L.W=80

Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.

Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18

The quadratic equation is, then:

x^2-18x+80=0

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

(x-10)(x-8)=0

The solutions to the equation are:

x=10, x=8

Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
