The first step is to write this equation into general form. The
general form of an equation is:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
To make this equation to general form, you have to simplify
the equation first.
2/3(x-4) (x+5) = 1
2/3 (x^2 + 5x – 4x – 20) = 1
2/3(x^2 + x -20) = 1
2/3x^2 + 2/3x – 40/3 = 1
2/3x^2 + 2/3x – 40/3 – 1 = 0
2/3x^2 +2/3x – 43/3 = 0
Therefore, a = 2/3 ; b = 2/3 ; c = -43/3
Hello from MrBillDoesMath
Answer:
[email protected] = - sqrt(7)/ 4
which is choice B
Discussion:
This problem can be solved by drawing triangles and looking at ratios of sides or by using the trig identity:
([email protected])^2 + (sin2)^2 = 1
If [email protected] = 3/4
, the
([email protected])^2 + (3/4)^2 = 1 => (subtract (3/4)^2 from both sides)
([email protected])^2 = 1 - (3/4)^2 = 1 - 9/16 = 7/16
So...... taking the square root of both sides gives
[email protected] = +\- sqrt(7)/ sqrt(16) = +\- sqrt(7)/4
But is [email protected] positive or negative? We are told that @ is in the second quadrant and cos(@) is negative in this quadrant, so our answer must be negative
[email protected] = - sqrt(7)/ 4
which is choice B
Thank you,
Mr. B
