What two numbers multiply to -40 and add to 10

Mathematics
1 answer:
andreev551 [17]2 years ago
6 0

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)

Peter participated in a 5 k race and finished the race in 17 min. A 5 k race is 5,000 m long. How would you calculate peters ave
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: Peters average speed in m/min is 294.1176 m/min


Step-by-step explanation:


Peter participated in a 5000m race and finished the race in 17 min.


Speed is calculated as Distance/Time


Peters average speed in m/min = Distance covered in m / Time taken in minutes

= 5000/17

= 294.1176 m/min


Therefore, Peters average speed in m/min = 294.1176 m/min


Hope it helps.


Thank you :)

The sum of five times a number and -6 is -2
k0ka [10]
5n + (-6) = -2
add 6 to -2
5n = -2 + 6
5n = 4
divide both sides by 5
n = 4/5
