Answer:

1. D = 48, two; 2. D =  -8, none; 3. D =   0, one

4.D =  81, two; 5. D = -91, none; 6. D = 49, two

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a quadratic equation is

ax² + bx + c = 0

The quadratic formula gives the roots:

[tex]x = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}[/tex]

D is the discriminant.

It tells us the number of roots to the equation — the number of times the graph crosses the x-axis.

[tex]D = \begin{cases}\text{positive} & \quad \text{2 real solutions}\\\text{zero} & \quad \text{1 real solution}\\\text{negative} & \quad \text{0 real solutions}\\\end{cases}[/tex]

It doesn't matter if the graph opens upwards or downwards.

If D > 0, the graph crosses the x-axis at two points.

If D = 0, the graph touches the x-axis at one point.

If D < 0, the graph never reaches the x-axis.

1. x² + 6x - 3 =0

a= 1; b = 6; c= -3

D = b² - 4ac  = 6² - 4×1×(-3) = 36 - 4(-3) = 36 + 12 = 48

D > 0: two real solutions

2. 3x² + 2x + 1 = 0

a = 3; b = 2; c =1

D = b² - 4ac  = 2² - 4×3×1 = 4 - 12 = -8

D < 0: no real solutions

3. x² + 4x + 4 = 0

a = 1; b = 4; c =1

D = 4² - 4×1×4  = 16 - 16 = 0

D = 0: one real solution

4. 5x² + x = 4

5x² + x - 4 = 0

a = 5; b = 4; c = -4

D = 1² - 4×5×(-4)  = 1 - 20(-4) = 1 - (-80) = 1 + 80  = 81

D > 0: two real solutions

5. 5x² - 3x = -5

5x² - 3x + 5=  0

a = 5; b = -3; c = 5

D = (-3)² - 4×5×5  = 9 - 100 =  -91

D < 0: no real solutions

6. x² - x  = 12

x² - x - 12=  0

a = 1; b = 1; c = -12

D = 1² - 4×1×(-12)  = 1 - 4(-12) = 1 + 48 =  49

D > 0: two real solutions

Answer:

x=83

Step-by-step explanation:

97+x=180

x=83

Answer:

∠x = 83°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠x and ∠y are supplementary ∠s so they add up to 180°

So,

∠x + ∠y = 180

Where ∠y = 97°

∠x + 97° = 180

∠x = 180-97

∠x = 83°

Find the total current drawn by the following appliances by adding the currents of
each appliance. Electric iron: 4.12 amps, clock: 0.02 amps, light bulb: 0.91 amps, and a
workshop motor: 1 amp.

Answers

Answer:

The total current drawn is 6.05 amps

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply add the current that each appliance draws, to get the total current required. Notice that they are all given in the same units (amps), so there is no units conversion needed:

Electric iron  :  4.12 amps

Clock;    0.02  amps

light bulb :  0.91 amps

motor :  1 amp

Total current : 4.12  amps + 0.02 amps + 0.91 amps + 1 amp = 6.05 amps

Answers

Answer:

columns: likes roller coasters, doesn’t like roller coasters;

rows: likes water rides, doesn’t like water rides

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to aks to your friends if they like or not water rides and roller coasters.

In a two-way table, a person goes only in one of the columns and only in one of the rows. Then, the columns would be: like A, doesn't like A; and the rows: like B, doesn't like B. Therefore if 10 people like roller coasters and don’t like water rides:

                                            likes roller coasters       doesn’t like roller coasters

likes water rides          

doesn’t like water rides                  10

Answers

Answer:

$1720.0931 will earn as interest in 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = $7411

Rate of interest = 11% compounded annually

Time = 2 years

Formula : [tex]A = P(1+r)^t[/tex]

[tex]A=7411(1+0.11)^2[/tex]

A=9131.0931

Interest = Amount - Interest =$9131.0931 - $7411

Interest = $1720.0931

Hence  $1720.0931 will earn as interest in 2 years

Answers

Answer:

[tex]0.81 - 2.326 \sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{131}}=0.730[/tex]

[tex]0.81 + 2.326 \sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{131}}=0.890[/tex]

And the confidence interval would be:

[tex] 0.730 \leq \p \leq 0.890[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given:

[tex] n=131[/tex] represent the sample size

[tex] \hat p=0.81[/tex] represent the estimated proportion

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

[tex]\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

For the 98% confidence interval the value of [tex]\alpha=1-0.98=0.02[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2=0.01[/tex], with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=2.326[/tex]

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

[tex]0.81 - 2.326 \sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{131}}=0.730[/tex]

[tex]0.81 + 2.326 \sqrt{\frac{0.81(1-0.81)}{131}}=0.890[/tex]

And the confidence interval would be:

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a vertex at the origin and a focus at (0.-4).
Oy=-x?
Oy2 = -4x
Oy2 = -16%
Oyə tox?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^2 = -16y[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Vertex = (0,0)\\Focus = (0,-4)[/tex]

Required

Equation of the parabola (in standard form)

The standard form of a parabola is [tex](x - h)^2 = 4p (y - k),[/tex]

Such that

Vertex = (h,k)

Focus = (h, k + p)

For the vertex

This implies that (h,k) = (0,0)

h = 0 and k = 0

For the focus

This implies that (h, k + p) = (0, -4)

[tex]h = 0\\k + p = -4[/tex]

Recall that [tex]k = 0;[/tex]

Hence, [tex]0 + p = -4[/tex]

[tex]p = -4[/tex]

Substitute [tex]p = -4[/tex], [tex]h = 0\ and\ k = 0[/tex] in the given formula

[tex](x - h)^2 = 4p (y - k),[/tex] becomes

[tex](x - 0)^2 = 4 * -4 (y - 0),[/tex]

[tex](x)^2 = 4 * -4 (y),[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = -16 (y),[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = -16y[/tex]

Hence,, the standard form is [tex]x^2 = -16y[/tex]

Find the missing number in the pattern! PLEASE HELP The half-life of caffeine is 5 hours; this means that approximately 1/2 of the caffeine in the bloodstream is eliminated every 5 hours. Suppose you drink a 16-ounce drink that contains 80 mg of caffeine. Suppose the caffeine in your bloodstream peaks at 80 mg. 1. How much caffeine will remain in your bloodstream after 5 hours? 10 hours? 1 hour? 2 hours? Record your answers in the table

Answers

Answer:

After five hours, there will be 40 mg of caffeine remaining in the blood.

After 10 hours, 20 mg.

After only one hour, about 69.64 mg.

And after two hours, about 60.63 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one-half of the caffeine in the bloodstream is eliminated every five hours.

We are also given that the initial amount is 80 mg.

Using this information, we can write the following function:  

[tex]\displaystyle f(x)=80\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\dfrac{x}{5} }[/tex]

Where x is the number of hours that has passed.

Using this function, we can evaluate for f(5), f(10), f(1), and f(2).

They evaluate to:

[tex]f(5)=40[/tex]       [tex]f(10)=20[/tex]       [tex]f(1)\approx 69.6440[/tex]     [tex]f(2) \approx 60.6287[/tex]

So, after five hours, there are 40 mg of caffeine remaining in the blood.

After 10 hours, 20 mg of caffeine.

After only one hour, about 69.64 mg.

And after two hours, about 60.63 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

4n + 14 - 5n = -6

(4n - 5n) + 14 = -6      Combine like terms

-n + 14 = -6

    -14    -14                Subtract 14 from both sides

-n = -20

n = 20

Answer:

n = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4n+14-5n=-6[/tex]

So we have to simplify the equation.

4n + -5n = -n

So our equation looks like this now -> [tex]-n+14=-6[/tex].

So now to get -n by itself we get 14 and -6 by itself.

So we do -6 - 14 and we get -20.

So our equation looks like [tex]-n=-20[/tex].

So now we have to make n positive we do -n ÷ -1 which is n.

And since we divided -n by -1 we have to divide -20 by -1 which is 20.

So n is 20.
