If one of the roots of the equation px² +qx+r=0 is twice the other root, find a relationship relating p, q and r

let alpha=u, beta=v.
u=2v.
u+v=-q/p.
uv=pr.
3v=-q/p.

Geofavor:

honestly that question looked "alienated" when I saw it; I don't know the topic it was coined out from.
So I just did a bit of coordinate geometry: length = sqrt( (x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² )

then I squared the result. I got what you got: 16

Lolz..... alright.

thankyouJesus:

let alpha=u, beta=v.
u=2v.
u+v=-q/p.
uv=pr.
3v=-q/p.

Thanks for the tip.....

Pls i'm getting (8 -3t)/4

Well done guys, I believe all the questionshas been answered

If y = sin(-4x) dy/dx is A) -12cos(-4x). B) -12 x cos(-4x). C) 12 x cos(4x). D) 12sin(-4x)

Geofavor:
If y = sin(-4x) dy/dx is A) -12cos(-4x). B) -12 x cos(-4x). C) 12 x cos(4x). D) 12sin(-4x)

-4x=U
y=sin U
dy/du=CosU
du/dx=-4
dy/dx=-4×CosU
dy/dx=-4cos(-4x)

Geofavor:
If the end point of one side of square RSTU are R(-1, -1) and (3, -1) find the area of the square.

Mathefaro, umartins1, thankyoujesus, oxytocin etc.

still pending...

Oxytocin:
-4x=U y=sin U dy/du=CosU du/dx=-4 dy/dx=-4×CosU dy/dx=-4cos(-4x)

this means there was an error in the question. Thanks

Hehehe....
I seriously didn't know there was a maths thread
So una no fit call person abi
Diaris God oo..

ShyNeptune:

Same here

erroneous question i suppose. These questions are from Last year's exam: jamb 2015

Geofavor:

Hmm... This same question.??
***modified ***
The options right, yh there is a mistake there.

how did you gain access to last year's jamb questions?

You're offering maths too?

Find the length of the side using the given coordinates, then square it.
NB, dist b2 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2 and y2) = sqrt((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)

thankyouJesus:

let alpha=u, beta=v.
u=2v.
u+v=-q/p.
uv=pr.
3v=-q/p.

Expatiate bro

I bought the past questions booklet.

Abi nau..
If not maths, what else??

yes. This will give 16. And I think it's the answer. I don't know why they have the answer to be 36 here. Thanks.

Geofavor:

I bought the past questions booklet.

Oh...... You're really prepared to slaughter this exam oh

Hahaha... yeah.

In how many ways can 7 directors sit round a table

The answer is 16 using graph analysis. Try this, draw out your x and y axes, label with -3,-2,,,,,,,,2,3.
Consider the points as co-ordinate(x,y), locate the points on the graph.
Hint: all sides are equal

u=2v. u+v=-q/p. uv=r/p. From 1 and 2. 3v=-q/p. From 1 and 3. 2v^2=r/p. You should be able to continue from here by manipulating to equate the two "v".

thankyouJesus:

6! Right? The booklet I bought contains too many errors even after burning the former one

Geofavor:

It is well

Lol....... Most of the editors of these past questions are just random guys in need of money..... They do not really know what they do.
Lamlard remains the real deal.

Guys, I'm ever loyal. Please, don't be upset with my absence and negligence. It's been stress and stress here in Akoka. I do get the mentions but before I show up, the questions are already solved by equally respected gurus.


You guys are doing a wonderful job here. And I'm confident that, with God's blessings on your side, you shall go places.
