One of the roots of the equation 4x2+bx+c=0 is 0.5. the other is equal to c. find the value of b and c.

The value of b = -3 and c = 0.5

A polynomial is an expression involving the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication of variables.

Given that 0.5 is a root of 4x² + bx + c=0, hence:

4(0.5)² + b(0.5) + c = 0

1 + 0.5b + c = 0

0.5b + c = -1    (1)

Also the other root is c, hence:

4(c)² + b(c) + c = 0

4c² + bc + c = 0

4c + b + 1 = 0

4c + b = -1      (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

b = -3, c = 0.5

The equation is:

4x² - 3x + 0.5 = 0

Therefore the value of b = -3 and c = 0.5.

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
