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

solve systems of equation. equation number 1: 9 x squared + 4 y squared equals 144. equation 2: x squared plus y squared equals

grigory [225]

$9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144$
$x^{2} + y^{2}=24$

$9x^{2} + 4y^{2} =144$
$4x^{2} + 4y^{2}=96$
by the difference
5 $x^{2}$ =48
so x= $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$ or x=- $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$
and $y^{2}$ =24- $\frac{48}{5}$
then y= $\sqrt{\frac{72}{5}}$ or - $\sqrt{\frac{48}{5}}$

Determine whether the sequence below is a geometric sequence and, if so, find a formula that describes the sequence. 1, 3, 9, 27

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

This is geometric with a common ratio of 3 (3/1 = 3 and 9/3 = 3 etc)
the formula for the nth term is
an = 3^(n-1)
