The roots of $3x^2 - 4x + 15 = 0$ are the same as the roots of $x^2 + bx + c = 0,$ for some constants $b$ and $c.$ Find the orde

Akimi4 [234]

we are given

quadratic equation as

$3x^2-4x+15=0$

now, we can find b and c from

$x^2+bx+c=0$

we can see that coefficient of x^2 is 1

so, we will have to make coefficient x^2 as 1

so, we divide both sides by 3

$3x^2-4x+15=0$

$\frac{3x^2-4x+15}{3}= \frac{0}{3}$

$\frac{3x^2}{3}-\frac{4x}{3}+\frac{15}{3}= \frac{0}{3}$

now, we can simplify it

$x^2-\frac{4}{3}x+5= 0$

now, we can compare it with

$x^2+bx+c=0$

we get

$b=-\frac{4}{3}$

$c=5$

so, we get order pair as

$(b,c)=(-\frac{4}{3} , 5)$ ..............Answer

The midpoint of RS is M(1, 2). One endpoint is R(-6, 6). Find the coordinates of endpoint S.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The coordinates of point S are (8,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

Let

Point S(x2,y2)

substitute the given values

$(1,2)=(\frac{-6+x2}{2},\frac{6+y2}{2})$

<em>Solve for x2</em>

$1=(-6+x2)/2\\2=-6+x2\\x2=2+6=8$

<em>Solve for y2</em>

$2=(6+y2)/2\\4=6+y2\\y2=4-6=-2$

therefore

The coordinates of point S are (8,-2)
