Find the value of a and b when a+b = -5, ab = -24

Find The Value Of A And B When A+b = -5, Ab = -24

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a= - 5 - b

Subs. the above into...

ab = - 24

(-5-b)b = - 24

Therefore b=-24 or b=19

Answer 2

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

a + b = - 5 → (1)

ab = - 24 → (2)

Rearranging (1) expressing a in terms of b, that is

a = - 5 - b → (3)

Substitute a = - 5 - b into (2)

b(- 5 - b) = - 24 ← distribute left side

- 5b - b² = - 24 ( subtract - 5b - b² from both sides )

0 = b² + 5b - 24 ← in standard form

0 = (b + 8)(b - 3) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b + 8 = 0 ⇒ b = - 8

b - 3 = 0 ⇒ b = 3

Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of a

b = - 8 : a = - 5 - (- 8) = - 5 + 8 = 3

b = 3 : a = - 5 - 3 = - 8

Thus

a = 3, b= - 8 or a = - 8, b = 3

Estimate the number of softballs that would fill a 10 by 12 by 24 foot room? Diameter of softball is 3.5 inches. Use the formula of a sphere V = 4/3 (3.14)r^3 for the softball

Answers

Answer:

The number of softballs that would fill the room is 221796 softballs

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will determine the Volume of the room.

The volume of a room is given by

[tex]Volume = lwh[/tex]

From the question, the given dimension of the room is  10 by 12 by 24 foot

Hence the volume of the room = 10 × 12 × 24

= 2880 cubic feet (ft³)

Convert to cubic inches

To do this, multiply the answer in cubic feet by (12 × 12 × 12)

(NOTE: 1 foot = 12 inches)

Hence, 2880 cubic feet = 2880 × 12 × 12 × 12 cubic inches

= 4976640 cubic inches

This is the volume of the room.

To estimate the number of softballs that would fill the room, we will determine the number of softballs which would give a total volume that is equal to the volume of the room.

First, we will find the volume of one softball

Diameter of softball = 3.5 inches

∴ Radius of softball, r = 3.5/2 inches = 1.75 inches

∴ r = 1.75 inches

Now, for the volume of one softball

From,

V = 4/3 (3.14)r^3

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}(3.14)r^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}(3.14)[/tex] × [tex]1.75^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = 22.43791667[/tex] cubic inches

This is the volume of one softball

The number of softballs that would fill the room will be

= Volume of the room / Volume of one softball

= 4976640 cubic inches / 22.43791667 cubic inches

=221795.9926

≅221796

Hence, the number of softballs that would fill the room is 221796 softballs

Find the modulus of the following. |9+40i|

Answers

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a complex number z = x+iy, the modulus of the complex number is expressed as |z| = √x²+y².

Given the complex number z = 9+40i

The modulus of the complex number z will be expressed as;

|z| = √9²+40²

|z| = √81+1600

|z| = √1681

|z| = 41

Hence the modulus of the complex number |9+40i| is 41. Note that a complex number will return a real value.

Answer:

|9+40i| = 41

If the product of p*q*r is an irrational number, and p is a rational number,
which of the following statement can be said about g andr
Only a can be irrational
Both q and must be irrational
Both qand may be irrational
may beration

Answers

Answer:

only q or r can be irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form a/b, where both a and b are integers and b ≠ 0. The decimal representation of an rational  numbers either repeats the sequence of digits over again or terminates at a finite number.

Irrational numbers are numbers that are not rational. The decimal representation of an irrational  number does not repeat a sequence of digits over again and never terminates. e.g √2, π.

The product of two irrational numbers is a rational number, the product of two rational numbers is a rational number while the product of a rational and irrational number is an irrational number. Hence since in p*q*r is an irrational number and p is a rational number, If both q and r are irrational then:

q*r = irrational * irrational = rational

p*(q*r) = rational * rational = rational. Since the result is not an irrational number then both q and r cannot be irrational.

But, If either q and r are irrational then:

q*r = irrational * rational = rational * irrational = irrational

p*(q*r) = rational * irrational = irrational. Since the result is an irrational number then only q or r can be irrational

Answer:

1) Both q and r may be rational

2) r may be rational if q is irrational

If y varies directly with x and y = 26 when x = 8, write the equation that represents this direct

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation for directly proportional variables: y = kx, where k is a real constant

When x = 8, y = 26.

Hence y = 26/8 x or y = 13/4 x.

The equation will be ; y = [tex]\frac{26}{8}[/tex] × x .

It is given that y varies directly with x and y = 26 when x = 8.

We have to find out an equation that represents this relationship.

The number will 8 x.

The direct variation relationship equation will be ;

y = k × x

where ; k = a constant

Given ;

Christiana works at Texas Road House and makes $50 each night in tips plus $7.50 per hour. Write a function rule in function notation where M is the total money she makes and h is the number of hours she works in one night.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]M(h) = 7.50h + 50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first get our variables straight. M is how much money you make each night, and h is the amount of hours she works.

This means that M will be what our function is equal to, aka the y-axis. h will be the x-axis.

We know that you earn a  rate of $50 per night through tax, and your hours worked doesn't influence this in any way. That means there will be a constant on this function, +50.

We also know that you earn 7.50$ per hour, which is directly influenced by how many hours you work, so we will have [tex]7.50h[/tex].

Combining this all together, we get

[tex]M(h) = 7.50h + 50[/tex].

Which symmetry is represented by the function f(x) = |x|?

Answers

Answer:

symmetry with respect to the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x| has symmetry with respect to the y-axis. It looks like a V with the vertex at the origin.

The symmetry of the function [tex]f(x)=|x|[/tex] is represented by the y-axis.

The given function is [tex]f(x)=|x|[/tex].

The function can be defined as,

[tex]f(x)=x;\;\;x\geq0\\f(x)=-x;\;\;x<0[/tex]

The function will always give the positive value of y or f(x) for all values of x.

The graph of the function is in the shape of V which is symmetric about the y-axis.

See the attached image.

Therefore, the symmetry of the function [tex]f(x)=|x|[/tex] is represented by the y-axis.

Maya has 120 cupcakes to sell. Each cupcake is covered with one topping. 1/5 of the cupcakes are covered with peanuts. 1/3 are covered with chocolate chips. 36 are covered with coconut. The rest are covered with sprinkles. How many cupcakes are covered with sprinkles?

Answers

Answer:

There are 20 cupcakes covered with sprinkles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of cupcakes that are covered with sprinkles you would have to subtract the amount of cupcakes covered with peanuts, the ones covered with chocolate chips and the ones covered with coconut from the total amount of cupcakes:

Total amount of cupcakes=120

cupcakes covered with peanuts=1/5*120=24

cupcakes covered with chocolate chips=1/3*120=40

cupcakes covered with coconut=36

Now, you can subtract the different cupcakes from the total amount to find the quantity left that would be the ones covered with sprinkles:

cupcakes covered with sprinkles=120-24-40-36

cupcakes covered with sprinkles=20

According to this, the answer is that there are 20 cupcakes covered with sprinkles.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graphs attached,

Let the coordinates of the two points given on the black line in the first graph are (-4, 2) and (-1, 10).

When these points have been rotated by 90° about the origin,

Rule for the rotation will be,
