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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie2 years ago

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

Which numbers for b would make √b irrational​<br><br>mark as brilliant!
just olya [345]

Answer:

All of the options when substituted for b will make the root of b irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, surds are roots of non-perfect squares and they are tagged as irrational numbers

For b to be irrational, all of the numbers given would fit. This is because all of these numbers are non-perfect squares meaning they do not have square root.

So what this mean is that these numbers when put under the root umbrella are irrational numbers as they are not perfect squares
