Answer:
a + b =1
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the given quadratic as x^2 – 1x – 90 = 0. This factors into
(x - 10)(x + 9) = 0, and so the roots/solutions are {-9, 10}.
If we call -9 "a" and 10 "b," then the sum a + b is -9 + 10, or a + b =1.
Let’s call the numbers x and y. Let’s also say that x is the smaller of the two. Since their difference (the answer you get when you subtract is 44 and a half) we know that y-x=44.5
Next we are told that if the smaller increases 7 times (that means 7x) their difference would be 10 3/14. Let’s write that as a fraction. It is 14x10+3 over 14. That is 143/14.
So this means y-7x=143/14.
We have two equations and two unknowns (a system of equations). We write one over the other and subtract them to get:
y-x=44.5
y-7x=143/14
Subtracting yields:
(y-y)+(-x - - 7x) = 44.5 - 143/14
6x = (89/2) - (143/14)
6x= 623/14 - 143/14
6x=480/14
X= (480/14)(1/6)
X=80/14
x= 40/7 = 5 5/7
Since y-x=89/2
We get y - 40/7 = 89/2
Y = 40/7 + 89/2
Y = 80/14 + 623/14
Y = 703/14 = 50 3/14
4x = y
2x^2 - y = 0
2x^2 - 4x = 0
2x(x - 2) = 0
2x = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = 0 or x = 2
y = 4(0) or y = 4(2)
y = 0 or y = 8
Therefore, solution set is {(0, 0), (2, 8)}
The answer is A.50 just take the test. and was write
