Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1

Average weight of 3 dogs = 55 pounds

Total weight of 3 dogs = 55 × 3

Total weight of 3 dogs = 165 pound

Statement 2

Average weight of 5 cats = 9 pounds

Total weight of 5 cats = 9 × 5

Total weight of 5 cats = 45 pounds

New Average = 165 + 45/8

New Average = 210/8

New Average = 26.25 pounds

Find the sum and product of the roots. 2x^2 + 6x - 8 = 0
netineya [11]
Suppose you can factorize:

ax^2+bx+c=a(x-r_1)(x-r_2)

Then by expanding the right side, you have

ax^2+bx+c=a(x^2-(r_1+r_2)x+r_1r_2)=ax^2-a(r_1+r_2)x+ar_1r_2

which means in this case, you have to have

\begin{cases}6=-2(r_1+r_2)\\-8=2r_1r_2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}r_1+r_2=-3\\r_1r_2=-4\end{cases}
