Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the solution to

2x^2 + x -1 =0

x^2+ (1/2)x -(1/2)

are a and b

Hence a + b = -(1/2) ( minus the coefficient of x )

ab = -1/2 (the constant)

A. We want to have an equation where the roots are a +5 and b+5.

Therefore the sum of the roots is (a+5) + (b+5) = a+ b +10 =(-1/2) + 10 =19/2.

The product is (a+5)(b+5) =ab + 5(a+b) + 25 = (-1/2) + 5(-1/2) + 25 = 22.

So the equation is

x^2-(19/2)x + 22 =0

2x^2-19x + 44 =0

B. We want the roots to be 3a and 3b.

Hence (3a) + (3b) = 3(a+b) = 3(-1/2) =-3/2 and

(3a)(3b) = 9(ab) =9(-1/2)=-9/2.

So the equation is

x^2 +(3/2) x -9/2 = 0

2x^2 + 3x -9 =0.

10 2/6 - 7 5/6 i know its prob easy but i need help
miv72 [106K]

Answer: 2 1/3

Explanation:

10 2/6 - 7 5/6

You can make both a fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, and then adding the numerator to that number, and keeping the denominator the same. So, 10*6 = 60 and 60 + 2 = 62 and you keep the denominator as 6, which would make 62/6

7*6 = 42 and 42 + 5 = 47 so 7 5/6 becomes 47/6

10 2/6 is equivalent to 62/6

7 5/6 is equivalent to 47/6

This just makes it easier to look at.

Now you just work through the equation.

62/6 - 47/6 = 15/6

15/6 = 2 3/6 = 2 1/3
