Find The quadratic Equation Whose Roots Are -2q And 5q. 

A.

3x\(^2\) + 3qx - 10q\(^2\)

B.

x\(^2\) + 3qx + 10q\(^2\)

C.

x\(^2\) - 3qx + 10q\(^2\)

D.

x\(^2\) - 3qx - 10q\(^2\)

Correct answer is D

x\(^2\) - (sum of roots)x + (products of roots) = 0

x\(^2\) - (-2q + 5q) + (-2q * 5q) = 0

x\(^2\) -(3q) + (-10q\(^2\)) = 0

x\(^2\) -3q - 10q\(^2\) = 0

The height of an equilateral triangle of side is 10 3√ cm. calculate its perimeter.

A.

20cm

B.

60cm

C.

40cm

D.

30cm

Correct answer is B

Height of an equilateral triangle, h = a\(\frac{√3}{2}\), where a is the side of the equilateral triangle.

10√3 = a\(\frac{√3}{2}\)

cross multiply--> 2 * 10√3 = a√3

√3 strikes √3 on both sides

20 = a

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is: P = 3a

P = 3 * 20 = 60cm

P = 30√3
