If α , β are roots of x2 + 5x + a =0 and 2α + 5β = -1 then α is equal to _____?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If α and β are roots of x^2 +5x +a = 0, then we must have ...

  (x -α)(x -β) = x^2 +5x +a

  x^2 -(α+b)x +αβ = x^2 +5x +a

Then ...

  α + β = -5

Together with the other relation between the roots, we have a system of equations in α and β.

Using the above to write an expression for β, we get ...

  β = -α -5

Substituting this into the given relation, we have an equation for α:

  2α +5(-α -5) = -1

  -3α -25 = -1 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -24 = 3α . . . . . . . . add 3α +1

  -8 = α

The root α is equal to -8.

x2 = 121

Answers

Answer:

x = ±11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

x² = 121

Step 2: Solve for x

Square root both sides: x = ±11

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

(-11)² = 121

121 = 121

11² = 121

121 = 121

Last year Jo paid £245 for her car insurance.
This year she has to pay £883 for her car insurance.

Work out the percentage increase in the cost of her car insurance

Answers

Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of her car insurance is 260.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are going to find by how much the insurance increased:

We know that this year she pays £883 and the last year she paid £245, so

insurance increase = £883 - £245

insurance increase = £638

Now, we are going to find what percentage of the last year price is the insurance increase. So, to find the percentage increase in the cost of the car insurance, we need to divide the insurance increase by the last year price and multiply the result by 100%

percentage increase = (\frac{638}{245} )(

245

638

) (100%)

percentage increase = (2.604)(100%)

percentage increase = 260.4%

We can conclude that Jo's car insurance cost increased 260.4%

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

since its  a straight line it would add up to 180 degrees so 52 + 23 + 75 and you need 180 so 180-75 which gives 105 which is the missing angle

Answer:

105 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First add the angles that you already know, 52 + 23 = 75, then since we know that the whole thing is a straight angle (180 degrees) 180-75 = 105 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

12!!!!!!

hople it help

Step-by-step explanation:

You did not include the complete question which requires one to calculate the number of turkey burgers that can be made. The answer is that 12 turkey burgers can be made with 2.93 pounds of turkey.

There are 2.93 pounds of turkey and each burger will take 1/4 pounds out of this.

The number of burgers that can be made is therefore:

= Pounds of turkey available / Requirement per burger

= 2.93 ÷ 1/4

= 2.93 x 4/1

= 11.72

= 12 burgers

In conclusion, Paul can make 12 burgers.

Greg and Marti are racing remote control cars. The race starts at t=0 and the car’s distance is measured from the start line. Both cars have a constant rate of change. Information about each of the cars during the race is shown below.

The race was over after 10 seconds. The winner of the race is defined by the person who is farthest from the start line. Whose car should be crowned the winner? Use mathematics to justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Marti

Step-by-step explanation:

Marti is farthest because it says that greg's car travels 13 feet but after two seconds he was at 30.7 away from the start line and marti was 2 feet in front but martyi goes faster because her car goes way more faster every second: (16.5 > 13) so: Greg is 30.7 + 13 x 10 = 160.7 | Marti: 2 + 16.5 x 10 = 167, So Marti wins the race and should be crowned the winner.

A bus makes a stop 2:30 letting off 13 people and lettng on 8. The bus makes another stop ten minutes later to let off 3 more people. How does the number of people on the bus after the second stol compare to the number pf people on the bus before the 2:30 stop??

Answers

Answer:

The number of people on the bus after the second stop is 8 less than the number of peoples on the bus before the 2:30 stop.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]P_0[/tex] be the total number of peoples on the bus before 2:30 stop.

For the first stop at 2:30:

The bus let off 13 people, so, the total number of remaining people on the bus [tex]= P_0-13[/tex]

again, the bus let on 8 people,  so, the total number of people on the bus

[tex]= P_0-13+8[/tex]

[tex]=P_0-5[/tex]

For the second stop after 10 minutes (i.e at 2:40):

The bus let off 3 people, so, the total number of remaining people on the bus [tex]= P_0-5-3[/tex]

[tex]=P_0-8[/tex]

After the second stop, the number of people on the bus is [tex]P_0-8[/tex], where P_0 number of peoples on the bus before 2:30 stop.

Hence, the number of people on the bus after the second stop is 8 less than the number of peoples on the bus before the 2:30 stop.

Answers

Given parameters:

Dimension of the room  = 6 inches by 11 inches;

Unknown:

Area of the actual room = ?

Solution:

The area of the room = length x breadth

 

Now, we need to convert inches to feet;

                Scale;

                       1 inch = 1 foot

                        6 inches  = 6 foot

                       1 inch = 1 foot

                       11 inch = 11 foot

The area of the room = 6 x 11 = 66 square feet

Answer:

His driving cap was pushed back, and he was scratching his forehead in a puzzled way. The metal hood on the front of the horseless had been folded back on top so you could see into its innards."Whoa, Red Rabbit." Father pulled at the reins and Red Rabbit stopped.
