Viete's Formulas - what are they used for?
If we have a quadratic equation 2X^2 + 4X -6 = 0, whose roots are x1=1 and x2=-3 and where a = 2 b=4 and c=-6 then according to Viete's formulas (x1 + x2) = (-b/a) and (x1 • x2) = (c/a).
I suppose these formulas could be used as a double check for calculating the roots but do they serve any other purpose? (I also know there are other Viete's formulas for cubic, quartic, etc. equations).

Answers

Answer 1

For quadratics, these formulas are used mainly for factoring.

Your equation can be written as ...

... 2(x² +2x -3) = 0

You factor this by looking for factors of -3 (c=x1·x2) that add to give +2 (b=-(x1+x2)). These are {-1, +3}, so the factorization is ...

... 2(x -1)(x +3) = 0

The roots are then 1 and -3, which sum to -b = -2.

(You will note that the numbers used in the binomial factors are the opposites of the roots x1 and x2 in the Viete's Formulas. That is how we can look for them to sum to "b", rather than "-b".)

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 46 miles per hour. the formula for the distance traveled at the end of t hours is d=46t. Represent the distance at the end of 7,12, and 18 hours as ordered pairs in the form (t,d).

Answers

d = 46t

First, let's find "d" for 7 hours.

           d = 46(7)

           d = 322 miles                          (7, 322)

Next, let's find "d" for 12 hours.

            d = 46(12)

            d =   552 miles                      (12, 552)

Finally, let's find "d" for 18 hours.

            d = 46(18)

           d = 828 miles                          (18, 828)

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle, hence

Lena is making two dishes for an event. Each batch of her and cheese recipe calls for 6 ounces of cheese and 2 tablespoons of basil. For every two pizzas she needs 16 ounces of cheese and 5 tablespoons of basil. Lena buys 32 oz package of cheese. Does she have enough to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas

Answers

Answer: No, it is not enough to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

She needed 6 ounces of cheese and 2 tablespoons of basil for each batch of her Mac and cheese.

Now,

For every two pizzas she needed 16 ounces of cheese and 5 tablespoons of basil.

So, for 2 batches of Mac and cheese she needed = 12 ounces of cheese

and if for 2 pizzas she needed = 16 ounces of cheese

For 1 pizza she needed = 8 ounces of cheese

For 3 pizza she needed = 8× 3=24 ounces of cheese

Total requirement of cheese = 24+ 12=36 ounces

But she only buys 32 ounces package of cheese .

So, it is not enough to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas and 4 ounces is still needed i.e.

36-32 =4 ounces .


Lena bought a 32 oz package of cheese, and since 60 ounces is greater than 32 ounces, she does not have enough cheese to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas with her current supply.

What is the cheese recipe

If Lena has enough cheese to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas.

Each batch of Mac and cheese requires 6 ounces of cheese, and she wants to make 2 batches,

so that's 6 ounces * 2

= 12

Each pizza requires 16 ounces of cheese, and she wants to make 3 pizzas,

so that's 16 ounces * 3

= 48

In total, for the Mac and cheese and the pizzas,

Lena needs 12 ounces + 48 ounces

= 60 ounces of cheese.

(Various teachers show various shortcuts that make it look like you're doing different things to the different sides of the equation. Don't be confused. If the operation can't be put in terms of doing the same thing to both sides, it doesn't work.)

Line segments JK and JL in the xy-coordinate plane both have a common endpoint J(-4,11) and midpoints at M, (2, 16) and M2 (-3,5), respectively. What is the distance between M, and M2? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

12.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula for the distance between two arbitrary points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] in the xy-coordinate plane, that is:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]

So, replacing the points [tex]M=(2,16)[/tex] and [tex]M_2=(-3,5)[/tex], we obtain:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(2-(-3))^2 + (16-5)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(2+3)^2 + (16-5)^2}\\d=\sqrt{5^2 + 11^2}\\d=\sqrt{146 }=12.083045... \simeq 12.1[/tex]

that is the answer.

note: observe that we only use the coordinates between the two midpoints and not the point J.

given sin theta = 2/5 and 0 theta 90 find sin 2 theta

Answers

Given:  sin theta = 2/5.  This tells us that the lengths of the opp side and the hyp are 2 and 5 respectively.  The adj side is found using the Pyth. Thm.:  5^2-2^2= 25-4 = 21, so that the adj side is sqrt(21).

The double angle formula for the sine is sin 2theta = 2 sin theta *cos theta.

In this particular problem, the sine of 2theta is 2*(2/5)*[sqrt(21) / 5], or:

                                                                              (4/25)*sqrt(21).

Given : [tex]\sin \thet=\frac{2}{5}[/tex] and  [tex]0<\theta<90[/tex]

To find : The value of [tex]\sin^2\theta[/tex] ?

Solution :

We have given the value of [tex]\sin \thet=\frac{2}{5}[/tex] and  [tex]0<\theta<90[/tex]

To find [tex]\sin^2\theta[/tex] we just have to square [tex]\sin\theta[/tex]

[tex](\sin \theta)^2=(\frac{2}{5})^2[/tex]

[tex]\sin^2 \theta=\frac{4}{25}[/tex]

Therefore, The value of [tex]\sin^2 \theta=\frac{4}{25}[/tex]

Find an equation for the plane which passes through the point p(1,3,3) and contains the line: l:x(t)=3t,y(t)=2t,z(t)=4+3t

Answers

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the plane passes through (1,3,3)

Also the plane contains the line x(t)=3t,y(t)=2t,z(t)=4+3t.

This means all points lying in this line will also lie in the plane.

Find out two points on this line.

First point: Let t =0.  Point is (0,0,4)

Next point : Let t = 1: Point is (3,2,7)

Now we have 3 non collinear points (0,0,4) (3,2,7) and (1,3,3) lying on the plane.

Equation of the plane is

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x-0&y-0&z-4\\3&2&3\\1&3&-1\end{array}\right] =0[/tex]

Simplify to get

x(-2-9)-y(-3-3)+(z-4)(9-2)=0

i.e -11x+6y+7z-28 =0

11x-6y-7z+28 =0 is the equation of the plane.

What is Equation Modelling?

Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

Given is that one number is 11 more than twice another number and the sum of the numbers is twice their difference

Assume that the numbers are (x) and (y). Then, we can the model the equation as follows -

x = 2y + 11

x + y = 2(x - y)

Simplifying the equations, we can write -

x + y = 2(x - y)

x + y = 2x - 2y

2x - x - 2y - y = 0

x - 3y = 0

y = x/3

Put y = x/3 in x = 2y + 11, we get -

x = 2x/3 + 11

x - 2x/3 = 11

x/3 = 11

x = 33

then y = 33/3 = 11

Therefore, the numbers are x = 33 and y = 11 respectively.

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of degree 2.

Two triangle are called similar triangle if their corresponding sides are proportional or the corresponding interior angle are same.

To prove ΔABC and ΔDBA are similar, we have to prove that corresponding interior angles of both triangle as same.

If segment AD is an altitude of ΔABC, then angle ADB is a right angle.

√400 = a = 20

2. You can find the altitude of the largest triangle (the length of the unmarked vertical line), then find "a" as the hypotenuse of the medium-sized right triangle.

That altitude is ...

√(15² -9²) = √144 = 12

so the length "a" is ...

a² = 12² +16² = 144 +256 = 400

a = √400 = 20

3. Based on the 15 and 9 dimensions of the smallest right triangle, you can realize that these triangles are multiples of the 3-4-5 right triangle. Then you can use relevant ratios of the side lengths of any of the triangles of which "a" is a part.
