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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie2 years ago
3 0

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

ABCD is a parallelogram. Find the values of x and y. Solve for the value of z, if z=x−y.
slava [35]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel and opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. Hence, we can say:

x + 30 = 2x - 10

and

2y-10 = y +10

Solving first one, we get:

x + 30 = 2x - 10

30+10 = x

x = 40

Also

2y - 10 = y + 10

y = 10 + 10

y = 20

Now, z = x - y, so

z = 40 - 20 = 20

Answer C is right.

Find the measure of the missing angle.
natulia [17]

Answer:

x = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle x is half the measure of its intercepted arc.

x = \frac{1}{2} × (102 + 50) = 0.5 × 152 = 76
