Answer:

  -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic ax² +bx +c can be written in factored form as ...

  a(x -p)(x -q)

for zeros p and q. The expanded form of this is ...

  ax² -a(p+q)x +apq

Then the ratio of the constant term to the leading coefficient is ...

  c/a = (apq)/a = pq . . . . the product of the zeros

For your quadratic, the ratio c/a is -4/3, the product of the zeros.

_____

Additional comment

You will notice that the sum of zeros is ...

  -b/a = -(-a(p+q))/a = p+q

Answer:

[tex] \green{ \boxed{ \bf \: product \: of \: the \: zeros \: = - \frac{4}{3} }}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

[tex] \sf \: if \: \alpha \: and \: \beta \: \: are \: the \: zeroes \: of \: the \: \\ \sf \: polynomial \: \: \: \pink{a {x}^{2} + bx + c }\: \: \: \: then \\ \\ \small{ \sf \: product \: of \: zeroes \: \: \: \alpha \beta = \frac{constant \: term}{coefficient \: of \: {x}^{2} } } \\ \\ \sf \implies \: \pink{ \boxed{\alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a} }}[/tex]

Given that, the polynomial is :

[tex] \bf \: 3 {x}^{2} - 2x - 4[/tex]

so,

[tex] \sf \: so \: product \: of \: zeroes \: \: = \frac{ - 4}{3} = - \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is missing and so i have attached it.

Answer:

x = 93°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangle attached, we can say that;

<SQP + <SQR = 180°

This is because sum of angles on a straight line equals 180°.

Secondly, we know that sum of angles in a triangle also equals 180°.

Thus;

<SQR + <QSR + <SRQ = 180

From the attached triangle, we see that;

<QSR = 35°

<SRQ = 58°

Thus;

<SQR + 35° + 58° = 180°

<SQR + 93° = 180°

<SQR = 180° - 93°

<SQR = 87°

From earlier on, we saw that;

<SQP + <SQR = 180°

Plugging in <SQR = 87°, we have;

<SQP + 87° = 180°

<SQP = 180° - 87°

<SQP = 93°

We are told in the question that <SQP is denoted by x.

Thus;

x = 93°

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of this rectangular box serves as the hypotenuse of the 2 right triangles that exist within this rectangle. The length is one leg, the hypotenuse is...well, the hypotenuse, so we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing leg.

[tex]10^2=8^2+x^2[/tex] and

[tex]100-64=x^2[/tex] and

[tex]x^2=36[/tex] so

x = 6. The width is 6.

Answer:

Nicole should take 13 1/8 cups of snack mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a serving size is 7/8 and Nicole wants to take 15 serving sizes (15 7/8's), then we must multiply 7/8 by 15:

15 × 7/8

Write 15 over 1 (15 = 15/1) to make the calculations easier:

15/1 × 7/8

Multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

15 × 7 / 1 × 8

105 / 8

Instructions don't say you have to do this but I will convert this improper fraction into a mixed number:

105/8 = 13 1/8

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

negative exponent means 1/...

so, this is

(32/243)^(4/10) = (32/243)^(2/5)

that means to the power of 2 and then pulling the 5th root.

so, let's pull the 5th root first, and then we square

(32/243)^(2/5) = (2⁵/3⁵)^(2/5) = (2/3)^2 = 4/9

Answer:

13 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

5^2 +12^2 = c^2

25+144 = c^2

169 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(169) = sqrt(c^2)

13 = c

Answer:

This would be a .04 or 4% decay.....

for every "time unit" (x in this case) you will be multiplying

the amount by .96 ... in other words if you started with one dollar

the results would be 96 cents... after two "time" steps you would have

only 92 cents (.96 *.96)

Answer:

56000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

4000 steps a day.

7 days in a week.

2 ft per step

so, we calculate how many steps in a week

4000 × 7 = 28000

and then we calculate the distance by saying each of these steps is 2 ft

so,

28000 × 2 = 56000 ft

as a little extra thought :

there are 5280 ft in a mile.

so, the person walks

56000 / 5280 miles = 10.61 miles

in a week.

Answer:

11 terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

17, 13, 9, ...

And we want to find the number of terms required such that the sum is -33.

Recall that the sum of an arithmetic series is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S = \frac{k}{2}\left( a + x_k\right)[/tex]

Where k is the number of terms, a is the first term, and x_k is the last term.

The desired sum is -33. The first term is 17 as well. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle (-33) = \frac{k}{2} \left( (17) +x_k\right)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]-66 = k(17 + x_k)[/tex]

We can write a direct formula to find the last term x_k. The direct formula of an arithmetic sequence has the form:

[tex]x_ n = a + d(n-1)[/tex]

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.

The initial term is 17 and the common difference is -4. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle x_n = 17 - 4(n-1)[/tex]

Then the last term is given by:

[tex]x_k = 17 - 4(k-1)[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle -66 = k\left( 17 + \left( 17 - 4(k-1)\right)\right)[/tex]

Solve for k:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} -66 &= k(17 + (17 - 4k + 4)) \\ -66 &= k(38 -4k) \\ -66 &= -4k^2 + 38k \\ 4k^2 -38k -66 &= 0 \\ 2k^2 - 19k -33 &= 0 \\ (k-11)(2k+3) &= 0 \\ k-11&= 0 \text{ or } 2k+3 = 0 \\ \\ k &= 11 \text{ or } k = -\frac{3}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since we cannot have a negative amount of terms, we can ignore the second solution.

Therefore, the given sequence must have 11 terms such that it sums to -33.

Answer:

The sales tax rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the sales tax rate if you already know the amount of tax being added to the purchase price, divide the amount of tax by the purchase price. In this example, divide $1.29 (amount of tax being added) by $25.79 (purchase price). When you do that, you will see that the answer is 0.0500, or 5%.

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

n(aUb)=n(a)+n(b)-n(a∩b)

so,

80=40+60-n(a∩b)

or, 80-(40+60)=-n(a∩b)

or, -n(a∩b)=80-100

or, -n(a∩b)=-20

or, n(a∩b)=20

[tex]\frac{10}{21}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 14, 21 and 6 is 42

We require to change the fractions to fractions with a denominator of 42

[tex]\frac{3(3)}{14(3)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2(2)}{21(2)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1(7)}{6(7)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{9}{42}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{42}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{7}{42}[/tex] ← add the numerators, leaving the denominator

= [tex]\frac{9+4+7}{42}[/tex]

Answer:

70.7 deg, 19.3 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90 deg.

One angle measures x.

The other angles measures 51.4 deg less than x, or x - 51.4.

The sum of their measures equals 90.

x + x - 51.4 = 90

2x - 51.4 = 90

2x = 141.4

x = 70.7

x - 51.4 = 70.7 - 51.4 = 19.3

Answer: 70.7 deg, 19.3 deg

Answer:

W = 7 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is P= 2L + 2×W , where L is the length and W is the width.

If L = (x+2) , replacing L with the expression x+2 we have

P= 2×(X+2) + 2W ⇔ 18 = 2x + 4 + 2W ⇔ 2W =18 - 2x - 4 ⇔ 2W = 14 - 2x

⇔ W = 7 - x

Answer:

The rea of walk way is 32 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

width, w = 8 feet

length, L = 10 feet

width of walkway, d = 2 feet

length of outer, L' = 10 + 2 + 2 = 14 feet

Area of outer, A' = L' x w = 14 x 8 = 112 ft^2

Area of inner, A = L x w = 10 x 8 = 80 ft^2

The area of walkway = A' - A = 112 - 80 = 32 ft^2

The rea of walk way is 32 ft^2.

Answer:

  9.23%

Step-by-step explanation:

The account balance for simple interest is given by ...

  A = P(1 +rt) . . . . . principal P invested for t years at rate r

  554 = 379(1 +r·5)

  554 = 379 + 1895r . . . . eliminate parentheses

  175 = 1895r . . . . . . . . . subtract 379

  r = 175/1895 ≈ 0.092348 ≈ 9.23%

Jennifer's account had an interest rate of about 9.23%.
