What two numbers multiply to -40 and add to 10

Mathematics

Answer:

5 + sqrt(65), 5 - sqrt(65)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 10

x×y = -40

so, two equations with 2 variables. using one equation to express one variable by the second. and then using the second equation to solve and calculate the second variable. and then by knowing the second variable we calculate the first.

=> x = 10 - y

=> (10-y)×y = -40

=> -1×(10-y)×y = 40

=> (y-10)×y = 40

=> y^2 - 10×y - 40 = 0

remember the solution for a quadratic equation

a×x^2 + b×x + c

is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4×a×c)/(2×a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -10

c = -40

and we used "y".

so,

y = (--10 ± sqrt((-10)^2 - 4×1×(-40))/(2×1) =

= (10 ± sqrt(100 + 160))/2 = (10 ± sqrt(260))/2 =

= (10 ± sqrt (4×65))/2 = 10/2 ± 2×sqrt(65)/2 =

= 5 ± sqrt(65)

=>

for y = 5 + sqrt(65), x = 10 - 5 - sqrt(65) = 5 - sqrt(65)

for y = 5 - sqrt(65), x = 10 - 5 + sqrt(65) = 5 + sqrt(65)

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-5, 0) and (4, 3)?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation contains a slope and y-intercept, in the form y = mx + b. To find the slope or m, you need to plug the coordinates into the slope formula.

y2 - y1/ x2 - 1

3 - 0/ 4 - (-5)

= 3 / 9

= 1/3

Now that we know the slope, we need to plug the values of x and y to find the y-intercept.

y = 1/3x + b

3 = 1/3(4) + b

3 = 4/3 + b

5/3 = b

The equation is y = 1/3x + 5/3

It takes a hose 2 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium 12 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. How long will it ta
rusak2 [61]

Volume of the first aquarium =  (12" x 13" x 14") = 2,184 inches³

Volume of the second aquarium = (32" x 34" x 35") = 38,080 inches³

The second aquarium has (38,080 / 2,184) = 17.44 times as much
volume as the first aquarium has.

So it'll take the hose  17.44 times as long to fill the second one

                              =  (17.44) x (2 minutes)  =  34.9 minutes.
