Answer:

k = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given α and β are the zeros of x² - 6x + k = 0 , with

a = 1, b = - 6 and c = k , then

α + β = - $\frac{b}{a}$ = - $\frac{-6}{1}$ = 6

αβ = $\frac{c}{a}$ = $\frac{k}{1}$ = k

Then solving

(α + β)² - 2αβ = 40

6² - 2k = 40

36 - 2k = 40 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

- 2k = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

k = - 2

20 yards 8 inches is divided into 26 equal sections, how long is each section

hoa [83]

In the given question, there are several information's of immense importance and worth taking a look. based on these information's, the answer to the question can be easily determined.The length that has to be divided into 26 equal parts is 20 yards and 8 inches.Firstly we have to change the yard into inches and then we can divide the total inches into 26 equal parts.
We know
1 yard = 36 inches
20 yards = 720 inches
Then the total length that has to be divided = (720 + 8) inches
= 728 inches
Now we have to divide the 728 inches into 26 equal parts.
Length of each section = (728/26) inches
= 28 inches.
So each of the 26 parts will have a length of 28 inches.

Z +6 divided by 1/3 = 4

Allushta [10]

Hey there!!

z + 6 / 1/3 = 4

z + 6 = 4 × 1/3

z + 6 = 4/3

z = 4/3 - 6

z = 4 - 18 / 3

z = -14/3

Hope it helps!

Susan completed a 26-mile rollerblade marathon in 2.5 hours. If Susan skated at a constant rate, how fast was she skating? A. 10

Bond [772]

Answer:

A. 10.4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

26÷2.5=10.4

Double checking your answer:

If she does 10.4 miles in an hour, she can get 20.8 in two hours

then you add half of how much she can go in an hour which is 5.2 (10.4÷2)

you add it together, and you will get 26 miles in total

(20.8+5.2=26)

-6h plus 4 - 3plus h equals 11

olga55 [171]

$- 6h + 4 - 3 + h = 11$
So we start by combining like terms;
$- 6h + h = - 5h$
$4 - 3 = 1$
Now we have;
$- 5h + 1 = 11$
We then subtract 1 from both sides;
$- 5h + 1 = 11$
$- 5h = 10$
Then we divide both sides by 5;
$- 5h = 10$
$- 5h \div - 5h = h$
$10 \div - 5h = - 2$
Leaving the final answer to be h = -2
