The product of the roots of the equation ax^2+x-24=0 is equal to -2 2/5. Find the value of a in the equation. Please help 100 points and branliest.

Answers

Answer 1

[tex]ax^2 + x -24 =0\\\\\text{If the roots are}~ \alpha ~ \text{and}~ \beta,\\\\\alpha \beta = -\dfrac{24}a \\\\\implies -2 \dfrac 25 = -\dfrac{24} a\\\\ \implies 2 \dfrac 25 = \dfrac{24} a\\\\\implies \dfrac{12}5 = \dfrac{24}a\\\\\implies 12a = 120\\\\\implies a =\dfrac{120}{12} =10[/tex]

Miguel glues a ribbon border around the edges of a 5-inch by 8-inch picture to create a frame. What is the total length of ribbon Miguel uses?

Answers

Explanation :-

We are given that the length of the frame is 5 inch and breadth of the frame is 8 inch. And Miguel glues a ribbon border around the edges of the frame. We have to find –the total length of ribbon Miguel uses.

[tex]\qquad[/tex] ☀️So First – we have to find the perimeter of the frame on which the glue is applied and the length of the ribbon used by Miguel. The perimeter of the frame is the total length of ribbon Miguel uses.

Length of the frame is = 5 inchBreadth of the frame is = 8 inch

[tex]\qquad[/tex]____________________

According to the question:-

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \pink{\bf\longrightarrow Perimeter _{(The \:frame) }= The\: total\: length\: of \:ribbon}[/tex]

The frame is in the rectangular shape, as its length and breadth are different . As we know– Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + breadth ).

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \purple{\bf \longrightarrow Perimeter _{(The \:frame) } = 2 ( length\: of\: the \:frame + breadth \:of \:the\: frame )}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow Perimeter _{(The\: frame) } = 2 ( 5 + 8 ) [/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow Perimeter _{(The \:frame) }= 2 ( 5 ) + 2 ( 8 ) [/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \sf \longrightarrow Perimeter _{(The\: frame) }= 10 + 16 [/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \purple{\bf \longrightarrow Perimeter _{(The \:frame) }= 26\: inch} [/tex]

Henceforth, perimeter of the frame is 26 inch.

Therefore,

Perimeter of the frame = The total length of ribbon.So, The total length of ribbon = 26 inch.

[tex]\qquad[/tex]____________________

The Answer will be 26 inch

Classify the triangle based on the side lengths 7. 15 and 21​

Answers

Triangle based on the side lengths 7. 15 and 21​ is Obtuse triangle.

What is Trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles.

The sides of triangle are 7, 15 and 21.

Let the largest angle be θ.

cosθ=7²+15²-21²/2×7×15

=-167/210

Since arc cos(-167/210)=142.68 degrees.

θ=142.68 degrees.

Which means θ>90 degrees.

So its a obtuse triangle.

7+15=22>21

21-7=14<15

So those angles can make a obtuse triangle.

Hence, triangle based on the side lengths 7. 15 and 21​ is Obtuse triangle.

Answers

A) Total number of old plans = 3500 + 4700 = 8200

In the new month, the unlimited plans increased by 55%, which adds

0.55 • 3500 = 1925

unlimited plans, while the limited plans decreased by 25%, which subtracts

0.25 • 4700 = 1175

limited plans. Then

Total number of new plans = (3500 + 1925) + (4700 - 1175) = 8950

which corresponds to a percent change of

(8950 - 8200)/8200 ≈ 0.0915 = 9.15%

That is, percent change is given by

(new value - old value) / (old value)

B) The percent change is positive, so it's a percent increase.

What is a cuboid?

A closed three-dimensional geometric shape called a cuboid is surrounded by six rectangular plane sections.

The given figure is a cuboid with dimensions (2x + 2), (x + 1), and (x + 3).

The volume of the cuboid is the multiplication of its dimension, therefore, the volume of the cuboid is:

V = (2x +2)(x + 1)(x + 3)

V = (2x² + 2x +2x + 2)(x + 3)

V = (2x² + 4x + 2)(x + 3)

V = 2x³ + 6x² + 4x² + 12x + 2x + 6

V = 2x³ + 10x² + 14x + 6

Hence, the volume of the figure as a polynomial in standard form is

V = 2x³ + 10x² + 14x + 6.

The area of a triangle is the amount of space on the triangle

The expression that represents the area of the triangle is [tex]A = \frac 12|-5(2 -4) +3(2 -6) -2(4 -6)|[/tex]

The coordinates of the triangle are given as:

[tex]R = (-5,6)[/tex]
