If a and b are the two solutions of the equation x
2
- 5x + 4 = 0, what is the value of
?
Give your answer as a fraction.
选项
答案
5/2
解析
Factoring the quadratic equation x
2
- 5x + 4 = 0, you get(x - 1)(x - 4)= 0, so the two solutions are either a = 1 and fr = 4 or a = 4 and b = 1. Note that a and b are interchangeable in the expression
so the value of the expression will be the same regardless of the choices of a and b. Thus
and the correct answer is 5/2.
This explanation uses the following strategies.
Strategy 5: Simplify an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation
Strategy 8: Search for a Mathematical Relationship
