What are the zeros of the quadratic function? y = x^2 - 2x - 15

Mathematics

Answer:

x=\frac{1+\sqrt{31}}{2},\:x=\frac{1-\sqrt{31}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

-> 0=2x^2-2x-15

-zeros means the solution aka x intercept, meaning y=0

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-2\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-15\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}

=> according to quadratic formula

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

where ax^2+bx+c=0

=> x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-2\right)\pm \:2\sqrt{31}}{2\cdot \:2}

simplify

x_1=\frac{-\left(-2\right)+2\sqrt{31}}{2\cdot \:2},\:x_2=\frac{-\left(-2\right)-2\sqrt{31}}{2\cdot \:2}

x=\frac{1+\sqrt{31}}{2},\:x=\frac{1-\sqrt{31}}{2}

Cannot simplify farther

Find the altitude of an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle of 70° and a base of 246
Neporo4naja [7]
The base angles are both equal to (180-70) / 2 =  55 degrees

and 1/2 base = 123 

so we have tan 55 =  a / 123  where a = altitude
a = 123 * tan55 =  175.66

You can use the formula c= 5/9 (f-32) to convert temperature in degrees fahrenheit, f, to temperature in degrees celsius,
mrs_skeptik [129]
C=5/9 (62-32)
c=(5/9)*30
c= 150/9
c=16.666....
so c=16.6
