Answer:

b = 5√3

b = -5√3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

$f(b)=b^{2}-75$

Keep in mind, the root of a function corresponds to the value of x at which the function's output is zero.

In this case

The roots of the equation are the b values for which f(b) equals zero.

Thus

For f(b)=0

$b^{2}-75=0$

$b^{2}=75$

Take the square root of both sides

$b=(+/-)\sqrt{75}$

Now simplify

$b=(+/-)5\sqrt{3}$

$b=5\sqrt{3}$ and $b=-5\sqrt{3}$

So we find that

b = 5√3

b = -5√3

The roots of the quadratic equation are 5√3 and -5√3

Further explanation

To find the Discriminant for a quadratic formula, ( ax² + bx + c = 0 ), use this:

D = b² - 4ac

Based on the Discriminant's value, we can infer the number of solutions the equation may have following these criteria:

D < 0 → No Real Roots

D = 0 → One Real Root

D > 0 → Two Real Roots

An axis of symmetry in the quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c is:

$\large {\boxed {x = \frac{-b}{2a} } }$

Now let’s solve the problem!

Given:

$f(b) = b^2 - 75$

The roots of the function can be determined when f(b) = 0:

$0 = b^2 - 75$

$b^2 = 75$

$b = \pm \sqrt{75}$

$b = \pm \sqrt{25 \times 3}$

$b = \pm \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{3}$

$b = \pm 5 \times \sqrt{3}$

$b = \pm 5\sqrt{3}$

$b = 5\sqrt{3} \texttt{ or } b = -5\sqrt{3}$

A straight rod has one end at the origin and the other end at the point (l,0) and a linear density given by λ=ax2, where a is a

Svet_ta [4341]

It is stated that a straight rod has one endpoint at the origin (0,0) and the opposite endpoint at (L,0), with a linear density defined by $\lambda=ax^2$ , where a is a constant and x is the x coordinate.

Thus, the infinitesimal mass is expressed as:

$dm=\lambda \times dx=\lambda dx$

The total mass can be calculated by integrating the above expression as follows:

$\int\,dm= \int\limits^L_0 {ax^2} \, dx$

Consequently, $m=a\int\limits^L_0 {x^2} \, dx=a[\frac{x^3}{3}]_{0}^{L}=\frac{a}{3}[L^3-0]= \frac{aL^3}{3}$

Now, we can calculate the center of mass, $x_{cm}$ of the rod as:

$x_{cm}=\frac{1}{m} \int xdm$

$x_{cm}=\frac{1}{m}\int_{0}^{L}x\times \lambda dx =\int_{0}^{L}x\times ax^2 dx=\int_{0}^{L}ax^3 dx$

Now, it follows that

x_{cm}=\frac{1}{\frac{aL^3}{3}}\int_{0}^{L}ax^3dx=\frac{3}{aL^3}\times [\frac{ax^4}{4}]_{0}^{L}

Therefore, the center of mass, $x_{cm}$ is located at:

$\frac{3}{aL^3}\times [\frac{ax^4}{4}]_{0}^{L}=\frac{3}{aL^3}\times \frac{aL^4}{4}=\frac{3}{4}L$

If R is the midpoint of QS, RS=2X-4, ST=4X-1, and RT=8X-43, find QS

zzz [4035]

RT equals RS plus ST
8x - 43 = 2x - 4 + 4x - 1
Simplify: 8x - 43 = 6x - 5
Bring variables to one side: 8x - 6x = -5 + 43
2x = 38
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 19

Calculate QS as twice RS:
QS = 2 * RS = 2 * (2x - 4) = 2 * (2*19 - 4) = 2 * 34 = 68

Answer: (3y - 5) • (2y - 3)

Step-by-step explanation: 6y2 - 10y - 9y - 15

2.1 Factoring 6y2-19y+15

The leading term is 6y2, with a coefficient of 6.

The middle term is -19y, having a coefficient of -19.

The last term is the constant, which is +15.
