Answer:
Your right?
Step-by-step explanation:
its the only answer that actually qualifies. Although any number above 20 would work I guess. there are no requirements.
Answer:
-45
Step-by-step explanation:
9*(-5)=-45
Answer:
that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1 y = x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
we can calculate the slope of this line passing through (4,5) and (8,9) like this:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (9 - 5)/(8 - 4)
m = 4/4
m = 1
so the slope is 1, and now we can use the equation of one point and the slope to write the line's equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = 1*(x - 4)
y - 5 = x - 4
y = x + 1
that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1
Answer:
α² +β² = 3 4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming α and β are solutions to the equation, it can be factored as ...
(x -α)(x -β) = 0
Expanding this, we get ...
x² -(α +β)x +αβ = 0
Dividing the original equation by 3, we find ...
x² +(1/3)x -5/3 ≡ x² -(α+β)x +αβ ⇒ (α+β) = -1/3, αβ = -5/3
We know that the square (α+β)² can be expanded to ...
(α +β)² = α² +β² +2αβ
α² +β² = (α +β)² -2αβ . . . . . . subtract 2αβ
Substituting the values for (α+β) and αβ, we find the desired expression is ...
α² +β² = (-1/3)² -2(-5/3) = 1/9 +10/3 = 31/9
α² +β² = 3 4/9
