If a and b are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial 4x2+4x+1, find the value of a/b+b/a?

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to factor your quadratic equation. You'll get (2x+1)(2x+1). Your two zeroes will be -1/2 and -1/2 with one being a, the other b. So then

a/b = (-1/2)/(-1/2)

and

b/a = (-1/2)/(-1/2)

Both reduce to 1. So a/b + b/a is 1+1=2

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
