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.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the earth's oceans is approximately 1.34\cdot 10^{9}1.34⋅10

To simplify, we will use the product of powers property of exponents that says that x^a\cdot x^b = x^{a+b}x

\qquad 1.34\cdot 10^{9}\,\cancel{\text{km}^3} \cdot 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\cancel{\text{km}^3}} = 1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}1.34⋅10

Hint #2

Next we want to know what portion of the earth's mass this represents. We have:

\qquad \begin{aligned} \dfrac{\text{mass of the oceans}}{\text{total mass of the earth}} &= \dfrac{1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}}{6\cdot 10^{24}\,\text{kg}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6\cdot 10^{3}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6000} \\\\ &= 0.0002300\overline{3} \end{aligned}

total mass of the earth

​

​

To convert this to a percent, we multiply by 100100100, so the oceans represent 0.02300\overline{3}\%0.02300

3

%0, point, 02300, start overline, 3, end overline, percent of the earth's total mass, according to these figures.

Hint #3

To the nearest hundredth of a percent, 0.020.020, point, 02 percent of the earth's mass is from oceans.
