Let's do that:
2x^2 - 7x + 2 = x^2 - 6x + 3
Rearranging the equation, we get:
2x^2 - x^2 - 7x + 6x + 2 - 3 = 0
x^2 - x - 1 = 0
Now we have a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a = 1, b = -1, and c = -1.
To find the roots of this quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
Applying the values, we get:
x = (1 ± √((-1)^2 - 4(1)(-1))) / (2(1))
x = (1 ± √(1 + 4)) / 2
x = (1 ± √5) / 2
Therefore, the roots of the equation are:
a = (1 + √5) / 2 b = (1 - √5) / 2
To find 1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1), let's substitute the values of a and b into the expression: targetpayandbenefits
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = 1/((1 + √5)/2 - 1) + 1/((1 - √5)/2 - 1)
Simplifying the denominators:
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = 1/(1/2 + √5/2 - 2/2) + 1/(1/2 - √5/2 - 2/2)
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = 1/(√5/2 - 3/2) + 1/(-√5/2 - 3/2)
To simplify the expression further, we'll rationalize the denominators by multiplying each fraction by its conjugate:
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = (2/(√5 - 3) + 2/(-√5 - 3)) / ((√5 - 3)(-√5 - 3))
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = (2(-√5 - 3) + 2(√5 - 3)) / (5 - 9)
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = (-2√5 - 6 + 2√5 - 6) / (-4)
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = (-12) / (-4)
1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) = 3
Therefore, 1/(a-1) + 1/(b-1) is equal to 3.
RT = (2/5)SQ TS = (3/5)SQ
Since SQ = 20 - UV, we can substitute this value into the above equations: Prepaid Gift Balance
RT = (2/5)(20 - UV) TS = (3/5)(20 - UV)
We also know that RT + TS = UV:
(2/5)(20 - UV) + (3/5)(20 - UV) = UV
Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of UV:
(2/5)(20 - UV) + (3/5)(20 - UV) = UV (2/5)(20 - UV) + (3/5)(20 - UV) = 1(5/5)UV (2/5)(20 - UV) + (3/5)(20 - UV) = (5/5)UV
Multiplying both sides by 5 to eliminate the denominators:
2(20 - UV) + 3(20 - UV) = 5UV 40 - 2UV + 60 - 3UV = 5UV 100 - 5UV = 5UV 100 = 10UV 10UV = 100 UV = 100/10 UV = 10
