Question

the pie chart shows how pupil in class 8c traveled to school,5 students in class 8c traveled by car

a) work out how many students walk to school
b) work out how many pupils were included in the survey
pls answer the question by seeing the below picture

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = kx³ – 8x² + 5

Roots are α – β , α & α +β

Sum of roots = – (-8)/k

Sum of roots = α – β + α + α +β = 3α

= 3α = 8/k

= k = 8/3α

or we can solve as below

f(x) = (x – (α – β)(x – α)(x – (α +β))

= (x – α)(x² – x(α+β + α – β) + (α² – β²))

= (x – α)(x² – 2xα + (α² – β²))

= x³ – 2x²α + x(α² – β²) – αx² +2α²x – α³ + αβ²

= x³ – 3αx² + x(3α² – β²) + αβ² – α³

= kx³ – 3αkx² + xk(3α² – β²) + k(αβ² – α³)

comparing with

kx³ – 8x² + 5

k(3α² – β²) = 0 => 3α² = β²

k(αβ² – α³) = 5

=k(3α³ – α³) = 5

= k2α³ = 5

3αk = 8 => k = 8/3α

(8/3α)2α³ = 5

=> α² = 15/16

=> α = √15 / 4
