Answer:

<h2>x²+7x-2 = 0</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation with roots a and b is expressed as shown;

x²-(sum of root) x + (product of roots) = 0

x² - (a+b)x + ab = 0 ... 1

Given the sum of roots a+b = -7

Product of roots ab = -2

Substituting this values in equation 1 above wil give;

x²-(-7)x+(-2) = 0

x²+7x-2 = 0

The resulting quadratic polynomial is x²+7x-2 = 0

kolezko [41]
First calculate his gross salary after his 401k contributions:
x = 48000 - (48000 \times 0.20) \\ x = 38400

Then find the amount of taxes withheld:
t = 38400(0.15) \\ t = 5760

5,760 dollars went towards taxes.

Marysya12 [62]
In the situation '<span>Each letter of the English alphabet is written on a scrap of paper and put in a hat p(j)= 1/26', the type of probability illustrated is classical or mathematical probability. This is because 1 represents the number of expected outcomes of the event while 26 represents the total number of outcomes.</span>

Multiply 3/sqrt17- sqrt2 by which fraction will produce an equivalent fraction with rational denominator
zzz [600]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify something that looks like \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}} you would multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the bottom. So you multiply the top and bottom for this problem I just made by:

\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}.

If you had  \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}, then you would multiply top and bottom the conjugate of \sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b} which is \sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}.

The conjugate of a+b is a-b.

These have a term for it because when you multiply them something special happens.  The middle terms cancel so you only have to really multiply the first terms and the last terms.

Let's see:

(a+b)(a-b)

I'm going to use foil:

First:  a(a)=a^2

Outer: a(-b)=-ab

Inner:  b(a)=ab

Last:    b(-b)=-b^2

--------------------------Adding.

a^2-b^2

See -ab+ab canceled so all you had to do was the "first" and "last" of foil.

This would get rid of square roots if a and b had them because they are being squared.

Anyways the conjugate of \sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2} is

\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}.

This is the thing we are multiplying and top and bottom.
