A coefficient is the number before the variable so the coefficient of x would be number before the x. the number before x is A.-9
The answer to that question is the sum of the hours he studied for on both days, which will be 1/4 + 3/8.
However, we cannot add fractions with different denominators. In this case, it's 4 and 8.
So if we want to add them, we must make the denominators similar to each other. How to make 4 into 8? We multiply it by 2: 4 x 2 = 8.
BUT when we multiply fractions, we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number to keep its original value. In this case, if you want to multiply 4 by 2, you must also multiply 1 by 2.
=> SO to make 1/4 into y/8, we will multiply it like this (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8
Now we can add the 2 fractions together. 2/8 + 3/8 = (2 + 3)/8 = 5/8. THIS IS YOUR ANSWER.
TL;DR: He studied 5/8 (or 0.625) hour altogether on both days.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Check the value of the discriminant
Δ = b² - 4ac
• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real
• If b² - 4ac = 0 roots are real and equal
• If b² - 4ac < 0 then roots are not real
given (x - a)(x - b) = k² ( expand factors )
x² - bx - ax - k² = 0 ( in standard form )
x² + x(- a - b) - k² = 0
with a = 1, b = (- a - b), c = -k²
b² - 4ac = (- a - b)² + 4k²
For a, b, k ∈ R then (- a - b)² ≥ 0 and 4k² ≥ 0
Hence roots of the equation are always real for a, b, k ∈ R
$220.30 will be ur final answer
