Explanation

Find f(3):

f(3) = 3² − 2(3)

= 9 − 6

= 3

Find f(1):

f(1) = 1² − 2(1)

= 1 − 2

= −1

Now add:

f(3) + f(1) = 3 + (−1) = 2

Explanation

(x - 3)/2 = (x + 1)/4

Multiply both sides by 4 to remove denominators:

4 × (x - 3)/2 = 4 × (x + 1)/4

2(x - 3) = x + 1

Expand:

2x - 6 = x + 1

Bring x terms to one side, numbers to other:

2x - x = 1 + 6

x = 7

Explanation

Given: x² - 7x + 10 = 0

Step 1: Find original roots

x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 2)(x - 5) = 0

So roots are 2 and 5

Step 2: Multiply roots by 3

New roots = 2 × 3 = 6, 5 × 3 = 15

Step 3: Form new equation

If roots are α and β, equation is x² - (α+β)x + αβ = 0

Here α+β = 6 + 15 = 21

     αβ = 6 × 15 = 90

Therefore new equation = x² - 21x + 90 = 0

Explanation

Let the two factors be (x - a) and (x - b)

Then:

1. (x - a)(x - b) = x^2 - (a + b)x + ab

2. Compare with x^2 - px + 48:

   ab = 48

   a + b = p

3. Given: a - b = 2 => a = b + 2

Substitute:

(b + 2)b = 48

b^2 + 2b - 48 = 0

(b + 8)(b - 6) = 0

So b = 6 or b = -8

If b = 6, then a = 8, p = a + b = 14

If b = -8, then a = -6, p = a + b = -14

Explanation

(a + bi)(a − bi) = a² + b²

Given:

(a + bi)(a − bi) = 41

Therefore:

a² + b² = 41

Explanation

a:b = 7:8

b:c = 4:5

Make b same:

a:b = 14:16

b:c = 16:20

Therefore, a:c = 14:20 = 7:10.
