For the quadratic equation $2x^2 + bx + 16 = 0$ , where $b$ is a positive constant, the sum of the squares of the two complex solutions is equal to $-7$ . What is the value of $b$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The value of the positive constant

b

is

6

.

By Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation

2x^2 + bx + 16 = 0

is

-\frac{b}{2}

and the product is

8

. Using the identity

x_1^2 + x_2^2 = (x_1 + x_2)^2 - 2x_1 x_2

, we substitute

-7

for the sum of the squares, yielding

-7 = \left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)^2 - 2(8)

. This simplifies to

-7 = \frac{b^2}{4} - 16

, which leads to

\frac{b^2}{4} = 9

and

b^2 = 36

. Since

b

is a positive constant,

b = 6

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the sum and product of the roots in terms of

b

using Vieta's formulas.

x_1 + x_2 = -\frac{b}{2}

and

x_1 x_2 = 8

Vieta's formulas state that for a quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

, the sum of the roots is

-\frac{b}{a}

and the product of the roots is

\frac{c}{a}

.

2

Relate the sum of the squares of the roots to their sum and product.

x_1^2 + x_2^2 = (x_1 + x_2)^2 - 2x_1 x_2

This algebraic identity allows us to express the sum of the squares of the roots using the sum and product of the roots.

3

Substitute the known values into the identity and solve for

b

.

-7 = \left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)^2 - 2(8) \implies -7 = \frac{b^2}{4} - 16 \implies \frac{b^2}{4} = 9 \implies b^2 = 36 \implies b = 6

Substituting the given sum of squares (

-7

), sum (

-\frac{b}{2}

), and product (

8

) produces a single-variable equation that can be solved for the positive constant

b

.

In the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane, a line is defined by the equation $2x + 3y = 22$ . A second line passes through the origin $(0, 0)$ and intersects the first line at a point where $x = 5$ . What is the slope of this second line?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 0.8

Cevap

The slope of the second line is

0.8

(or

\frac{4}{5}

).

The intersection point has an

x

-coordinate of

5

. Substituting this into

2x + 3y = 22

gives

2(5) + 3y = 22

, which simplifies to

3y = 12

, or

y = 4

. Thus, the intersection point is

(5, 4)

. The second line passes through

(0, 0)

and

(5, 4)

. Using the slope formula, the slope is

\frac{4 - 0}{5 - 0} = 0.8

.

1

Substitute

x = 5

into the equation of the first line to find the

y

-coordinate of the intersection point.

The intersection point is

(5, 4)

.

Since the two lines intersect at

x = 5

, the intersection point must satisfy the equation of the first line.

2

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line connecting

(0, 0)

and

(5, 4)

.

The slope is

0.8

.

The second line passes through the origin

(0, 0)

and the intersection point

(5, 4)

, so its slope is the ratio of the change in

y

to the change in

x

.

A coordinate grid is laid over a map of a city. A subway station is located at $S(-1, 9)$ and a bus terminal is located at $B(7, -1)$ . A passenger transfer center is built at the midpoint of the line segment connecting the subway station and the bus terminal. What is the distance, in grid units, between the transfer center and a parking garage located at $(7, 7)$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The distance between the passenger transfer center and the parking garage is 5 grid units.

First, the midpoint is determined by averaging the

x

-coordinates and

y

-coordinates of the endpoints:

x = \frac{-1 + 7}{2} = 3

and

y = \frac{9 - 1}{2} = 4

, giving the transfer center coordinates of

(3, 4)

. Second, the distance between

(3, 4)

and

(7, 7)

is found using the distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^2 + (7 - 4)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5

is found to be

6\sqrt{3}

, making the half-segment

BE = 3\sqrt{3}

. The perpendicular line at

E

creates two smaller 30-60-90 right triangles,

\triangle BEF

and

\triangle BEG

. Solving for the legs along the line gives

EF = 3

and

EG = 9

, which sum to

12

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the length of altitude

BD

in right triangle

ABC

.

BD = 6\sqrt{3}

In right triangle

ABC

, we have

\angle B = 90^\circ

,

\angle A = 30^\circ

, and

\angle C = 60^\circ

. The altitude

BD

forms a smaller 30-60-90 right triangle

BCD

with hypotenuse

BC = 12

. Since

BD

is opposite the

60^\circ

angle

\angle C

, we have

BD = BC \sin(60^\circ) = 12 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 6\sqrt{3}

.

2

Calculate the length of segment

BE

.

BE = 3\sqrt{3}

Since

E

is the midpoint of the altitude

BD

, we divide the length of

BD

by 2:

BE = \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{2} = 3\sqrt{3}

.

3

Determine the length of segment

EF

in right triangle

BEF

.

EF = 3

Since the line

GF

is perpendicular to

BD

,

\angle BEF = 90^\circ

. In right triangle

BCD

, we have

\angle DBC = 30^\circ

, which means

\angle EBF = 30^\circ

. This makes

\triangle BEF

a 30-60-90 right triangle where

BE

is adjacent to the

30^\circ

angle and

EF

is opposite to it. Thus,

EF = \frac{BE}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = 3

.

4

Determine the length of segment

EG

in right triangle

BEG

.

EG = 9

Since

\angle BEG = 90^\circ

and

\angle ABD = 90^\circ - \angle DBC = 60^\circ

, the angle

\angle EBG = 60^\circ

. This makes

\triangle BEG

a 30-60-90 right triangle where

BE

is adjacent to the

60^\circ

angle and

EG

is opposite to it. Thus,

EG = BE \sqrt{3} = 3\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} = 9

Calculate the total length of segment

GF

.

GF = 12

In the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane, the circle defined by the equation $x^2 + y^2 - 12x - 4y + 31 = 0$ is translated $3$ units to the right and $5$ units down. A line passing through the origin with a non-zero slope $m$ is tangent to this translated circle. What is the value of $m$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -0.75

Cevap

The correct answer is -0.75.

The correct answer is -0.75. By completing the square on the original equation, we find the circle

(x-6)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 9

with center

(6, 2)

and radius

3

. Translating the circle shifts the center to

(9, -3)

. A line passing through the origin with slope

m

has the equation

mx - y = 0

. For this line to be tangent to the circle, its perpendicular distance from the center

(9, -3)

must equal the radius

3

. Using the distance formula, we get the equation

\frac{|9m + 3|}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} = 3

. Simplifying gives

|3m + 1| = \sqrt{m^2 + 1}

. Squaring both sides yields

9m^2 + 6m + 1 = m^2 + 1

, which simplifies to

8m^2 + 6m = 0

. The non-zero solution is

m = -0.75

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Complete the square for the original circle equation

x^2 + y^2 - 12x - 4y + 31 = 0

.

(x - 6)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

.

Grouping the

x

and

y

terms and completing the square yields the standard form of a circle, showing that the original center is

(6, 2)

and the radius

r = \sqrt{9} = 3

.

2

Apply the translation of

3

units right and

5

units down to the center

(6, 2)

.

New center is

(6 + 3, 2 - 5) = (9, -3)

.

Translating a point in the coordinate plane shifts the coordinates directly:

x

-coordinate increases by

3

and

y

-coordinate decreases by

5

. The radius remains

3

.

3

Set up the distance from the new center

(9, -3)

to the tangent line

y = mx

.

Distance equation:

\frac{|9m - (-3)|}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} = 3

.

The line

y = mx

can be rewritten as

mx - y = 0

. The perpendicular distance from the center to a tangent line must equal the radius of the circle, which is

3

.

4

Simplify the distance equation and solve for

m

.

|3m + 1| = \sqrt{m^2 + 1}

.

Factoring out

3

from the numerator and dividing both sides by

3

simplifies the equation before squaring.

5

Square both sides of the equation and solve the resulting quadratic equation.

2m(4m + 3) = 0 \implies m = 0

or

m = -0.75

.

Squaring both sides yields

(3m + 1)^2 = m^2 + 1 \implies 9m^2 + 6m + 1 = m^2 + 1 \implies 8m^2 + 6m = 0

. Since we are looking for a non-zero slope, the only valid solution is

m = -0.75

.

The value of the constant

k

To find the intersection of the line and the parabola, set their equations equal to each other:

x^2 - 4x + 14 = 2x + k

. Rearranging this into standard quadratic form gives

x^2 - 6x + (14 - k) = 0

. For the system to have exactly one solution, the discriminant of this quadratic equation must be zero. The discriminant is

b^2 - 4ac = (-6)^2 - 4(1)(14 - k) = 36 - 56 + 4k = 4k - 20

A triangle has side lengths of $7$ , $x+2$ , and $2x-1$ , where $x$ is an integer. What is the total number of possible values for $x$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The total number of possible integer values for

x

is

7

.

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, a triangle is formed if and only if the sum of any two side lengths is strictly greater than the third side length. Solving the three inequalities

7 + (x+2) > 2x-1

,

7 + (2x-1) > x+2

, and

(x+2) + (2x-1) > 7

gives

x < 10

,

x > -4

, and

x > 2

. The overlapping interval is

2 < x < 10

. The integers in this range are

\{3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}

, which gives a total of

7

possible integer values.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the three inequalities required by the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

1)

7 + (x+2) > 2x-1

2)

7 + (2x-1) > x+2

3)

(x+2) + (2x-1) > 7

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be strictly greater than the length of the remaining side.

2

Solve the first inequality:

7 + (x+2) > 2x-1

.

x < 10

Simplifying the left side yields

x + 9 > 2x - 1

. Subtracting

x

and adding

1

to both sides results in

10 > x

, which means

x < 10

.

3

Solve the second inequality:

7 + (2x-1) > x+2

.

x > -4

Simplifying the left side yields

2x + 6 > x + 2

. Subtracting

x

and

6

from both sides results in

x > -4

.

4

Solve the third inequality:

(x+2) + (2x-1) > 7

.

x > 2

Simplifying the left side yields

3x + 1 > 7

. Subtracting

and identify the valid integers.

The combined range is

2 < x < 10

. The valid integers are

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

To satisfy all three inequalities,

x

must be greater than

2

The quadratic equation $0.4x^2 - 2x + c = 0$ has two real solutions. If the difference between these two solutions is exactly $3$ , what is the value of $c$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1.6

Cevap

1.6

By using the relation between the roots of a quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

, we find that the difference of the roots is given by

|x_1 - x_2| = \frac{\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{|a|}

. Substituting

a = 0.4

,

b = -2

, and the difference of

3

yields

3 = \frac{\sqrt{4 - 1.6c}}{0.4}

. Multiplying by

0.4

and squaring both sides gives

1.44 = 4 - 1.6c

. Solving this linear equation gives

c = 1.6

. We can verify this result by substituting

c = 1.6

back into the original equation:

0.4x^2 - 2x + 1.6 = 0

simplifies to

x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0

, which factors as

(x-1)(x-4) = 0

In the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane, a circle is tangent to the $x$ -axis at the point $(5, 0)$ . If the circle is also tangent to the line $y = \frac{4}{3}x$ and its center lies in the first quadrant, what is the $y$ -coordinate of the center of the circle?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2.5

Cevap

The

y

-coordinate of the center of the circle is

2.5

.

A circle tangent to the

x

-axis at

(5, 0)

has a center along the vertical line

x = 5

. Since the center is in the first quadrant, its coordinates can be represented as

(5, k)

where

k > 0

, and the radius is

k

. The distance from the center

(5, k)

to the line

4x - 3y = 0

must also equal the radius

k

. Using the point-to-line distance formula, we write

\frac{|4(5) - 3k|}{\sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2}} = k

, which simplifies to

|20 - 3k| = 5k

. Since the center must lie in the first quadrant (

k > 0

), we solve

20 - 3k = 5k

to find

k = 2.5

. The alternative case

20 - 3k = -5k

gives

k = -10

, which lies in the fourth quadrant and is thus excluded.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle based on the

x

-axis tangency.

Center:

(5, k)

and Radius:

r = k

(where

k > 0

).

A circle tangent to the

x

-axis at

(5, 0)

has its center directly above or below this point on the line

x = 5

. Since the center is in the first quadrant, its

y

-coordinate

k

must be positive, making the radius

k

.

2

Use the distance from the center to the second tangent line to write an equation for

k

.

\frac{|4(5) - 3k|}{\sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2}} = k

The distance from the center

(5, k)

to the tangent line

4x - 3y = 0

must equal the radius of the circle.

3

Simplify the equation and solve for

k

.

|20 - 3k| = 5k

, leading to

k = 2.5

or

k = -10

.

Simplifying the denominator yields

5

. Multiplying both sides by

5

gives the absolute value equation, which resolves to

20 - 3k = 5k

or

20 - 3k = -5k

.

4

Select the valid solution using the quadrant constraint.

k = 2.5

The center must lie in the first quadrant, which requires

k > 0

. Thus,

k = -10

is discarded, and the correct value is

2.5

.

A rectangular piece of paper $ABCD$ has dimensions $AB = 12$ inches and $BC = 9$ inches. The paper is folded so that vertex $A$ falls directly on vertex $C$ , creating a crease $EF$ where $E$ lies on $AB$ and $F$ lies on $CD$ . What is the length of the crease $EF$ , in inches?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 11.25

Cevap

The length of the crease is 11.25 inches.

By interpreting the fold geometrically, we establish that the crease is the perpendicular bisector of the diagonal. We can solve for the segments along the side using a right triangle formed at the corner, and then construct a second right triangle using an altitude to find the length of the crease hypotenuse.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relationship created by the fold.

The crease

EF

is the perpendicular bisector of the diagonal

AC

, meaning

AE = EC = x

.

When a point is folded onto another, the crease line acts as the perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting the two points.

2

Set up an expression for the remaining part of the side

AB

.

Since

AB = 12

and

AE = x

, the length of

EB = 12 - x

.

The point

E

lies on segment

AB

, dividing it into

AE

and

EB

.

3

Use the Pythagorean Theorem in right triangle

EBC

to solve for

x

.

x^2 = (12 - x)^2 + 9^2 \implies x^2 = 144 - 24x + x^2 + 81 \implies 24x = 225 \implies x = 9.375

.

The triangle

EBC

is a right triangle with legs

EB

and

BC

, and hypotenuse

EC

.

4

Form a second right triangle to find the length of the crease

EF

.

Draw

FG \perp AB

with

G

on

AB

. This forms right triangle

EGF

with legs

FG = 9

and

EG = AB - EB - DF = 12 - 2.625 - 2.625 = 6.75

.

Constructing an altitude from

F

to

AB

allows us to create a right triangle that has the crease

EF

as its hypotenuse.

5

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle

EGF

to calculate the final length of

EF

.

EF = \sqrt{6.75^2 + 9^2} = \sqrt{45.5625 + 81} = \sqrt{126.5625} = 11.25

inches.

The correct answer is 10. The linear path passes through the points

(-6, 0)

and

(0, 4)

. Using the slope formula, the slope is

m = \frac{4 - 0}{0 - (-6)} = \frac{2}{3}

. The slope-intercept equation of the line is

y = \frac{2}{3}x + 4

1

Identify the coordinates of the points representing the intercepts on the coordinate grid.

The points are

(-6, 0)

An

x

-intercept of

Calculate the slope of the linear path.

The slope is

Using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

, substitute the points

(-6, 0)

and

(0, 4)

m = \frac{4 - 0}{0 - (-6)} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}

.

3

Write the linear equation representing the path.

The equation is

y = \frac{2}{3}x + 4

With a slope of

m = \frac{2}{3}

and a

y

-intercept of

b = 4

, the equation in slope-intercept form (

y = mx + b

Instead of expanding the whole expression, you can find the individual coefficients directly. The

t^2

term is formed by

(2t^2)(3) + (-3t)(t) = 6t^2 - 3t^2 = 3t^2

, so

b = 3
