prove, that a ota +D-)=1At t minutes past 2pm, the time needed by the minutes hand of a clock toshow 3pm was found to be 3 minutes less then ~minutes. Find t.4 |

Answer» Given time needed by the minutes hand show (t2/4) – 3Hence the quadratic equation becomes, (t2/4) – 3 = 60 – t(t2– 12)/4 = 60 – t(t2– 12) = 240 – 4 tt2– 12 – 240 + 4 t = 0t2+ 4t – 252 = 0t2+ 18t – 14t – 252 = 0t(t + 18) – 14(t + 18) = 0(t + 18)(t – 14) = 0(t + 18) = 0 or (t – 14) = 0∴t = - 18 or t = 14Since t cannot be negative, t = 14 |
