find the values of a and b such that x^2-4x+9=(x+a)^2+b

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  a = -2; b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding the right side of the given equation, we have ...

  x^2 -4x +9 = x^2 +2ax +a^2 +b

Comparing coefficients, we see ...

  -4 = 2a . . . . . coefficient of x term

  9 = a^2 +b . . . constant term

The first of these tells us ...

  -2 = a . . . . divide by 2

The second of these tells us ...

  9 = (-2)^2 +b . . . substitute for a

  5 = b . . . . subtract 4

The values of a and b are (a, b) = (-2, 5).

Answer 2

Answer:

a=-2

b=5

The Hernandez family orders 3 large pizzas. They cut the pizzas so that each pizza has the same number of slices, giving them a total of 24 slices. The Wilson family also orders several large pizzas from the same pizza restaurant. They also cut the pizzas so that all their pizzas have the same number of slices. For the Wilson family, the equation y = 10x represents the relationship, where x represents the number of pizzas and y represents the number of total slices. Which statements best describe the pizzas bought by the Hernandez and Wilson families? Select two options. For the Hernandez family, the equation y = 3x represents the relationship between the number of slices and number of pizzas, where x represents the number of pizzas and y represents the number of total slices. For each family, a graph of the relationship between number of pizzas, x, and number of slices, y, goes through the point (0, 0) and is a straight line. The Hernandez family’s slices are smaller than the Wilson family’s slices. If the Wilson family ordered 3 large pizzas from the same restaurant as the Hernandez family, they would have more slices than the Hernandez family after each family cut their pizzas into slices. The constant of proportionality is 10 for the Wilson family, but cannot be determined for the Hernandez family.

The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured. If the current population is 29,700 , what was the previous population?

Answers

Answer:

19305

Step-by-step explanation:

We simply take the percentage of 29700 to find how many people were added.

29700(0.35) = 10395 <== so 10395 people have been added

Subtract it from the current:

28700 - 10395 = 19305 people before.

Solve x^2 + 4x + 8 = 0

Answers

Answer:

x = -2 + 2 i or x = -2 - 2 i

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 + 4 x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides:

x^2 + 4 x = -8

Add 4 to both sides:

x^2 + 4 x + 4 = -4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 2)^2 = -4

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 2 = 2 i or x + 2 = -2 i

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = -2 + 2 i or x + 2 = -2 i

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer:  x = -2 + 2 i or x = -2 - 2 i

Ping lives at the corner of 3rd Street and 6th Avenue. Ari lives at the corner of 21st Street and 18th Avenue. There is a gym 2/3 the distance from Ping's home to Ari's home.  Where is the gym?

9th Street and 10th Avenue 12th Street and 12th Avenue 14th Street and 12th Avenue 15th Street and 14th Avenue

Answer:

(D)15th Street and 14th Avenue

Step-by-step explanation:

Ping's Location: (3rd Street, 6th Avenue)

Ari's Location: (21st Street, 18th Avenue)

The gym is at point P which is [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] the distance from Ping's home to Ari's home.

That is, Point P divides the line segment in the ratio 2:1.

We use the section formula:

[tex](x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

m:n=2:1, [tex](x_1,y_1)=(3,6), (x_2,y_2)=(21,18)[/tex]

[tex]=\left(\dfrac{2*21+1*2}{2+1}, \dfrac{2*18+1*6}{2+1}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{45}{3}, \dfrac{42}{3}\right)\\=(15,14)[/tex]

The gym is located at 15th Street and 14th Avenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the bottom

10*10 = 100

The find the area of one of the triangular shapes

A = 1/2 bh since it is a triangle

A = 1/2 ( 10)*13 = 65

Since there are 4 triangles ( 1 for each side), multiply by 4

4*65 = 260

Add the areas together

260+100 = 360

The exchange rate at a post office is £1 = 1.77 euros How many euros will you get with £280

Answers

Answer:

495.6 Euros

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 pound equals 1.77 euros we can set up a proportion that;

[tex] \frac{1 pound}{1.77 euros} [/tex]

This proportion would be equal to the new amount;

[tex] \frac{280 pounds}{x euros} [/tex]

This means that

[tex] \frac{1 pound}{1.77 euros} = \frac{280 pounds}{ x euros} [/tex]

So;

[tex]280 pounds*1.77 euros / 1 pound[/tex]

Pounds cancel out; and so you have

[tex]280 * 1.77 euros[/tex]

giving you as performed on a calculator;

495.6 euros.

Kenneth had $5. He spent g cents everyday. How much money he left afterone week? (a) Give you answer in cents (b) Give your answer in dollars.

Answers

Answer:

answer in cents = (500 - 7g ) cents

answer in dollars = ((500 - 7g)/100 ) dollar

Step-by-step explanation:

Money with Kenneth = $5

we know that 1 dollar = 100 cents

Money with Kenneth in cents= 5*100 = 500 cents

Money spent in 1 day = g cents

Money spent in 1 day in dollar = g /100 dollar

(a) Give you answer in cents

One week has 7 days

money spent in 7 days = Money spent in 1 day*7 = g*7 = 7g cents

Money left with Kenneth  after one week= total money Kenneth had in cents - money spent in 7 days  = (500 - 7g ) cents

(b) Give you answer in cents dollars

One week has 7 days

money spent in 7 days in dollars = Money spent in 1 day*7 = g/100*7 = 7g/100 cents

Money left with Kenneth  after one week= total money Kenneth had in dollars - money spent in 7 days  = (5 - 7g/100 ) dollar

=  ((500 - 7g)/100 ) dollar

A biker’s speed is 1.5 times faster than a walker’s. They started simultaneously from the same point and in 1.5 hours the distance between them was 12.5 miles. What are their speeds?

Answers

Answer:

Biker = 25 mph

Walker = 16⅔ mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

If x is the walker's speed and y is the biker's speed, then:

1.5 y − 1.5 x = 12.5

y = 1.5 x

Solve the system of equations.

1.5 y − y = 12.5

0.5 y = 12.5

y = 25

x = 16⅔

g Consider a 1 × n floor to be covered by 1 × 1 tiles that come in three different colors(Blue, Red, Green) and 1 × 2 tiles that come in 2 different colors (orange, white). Find a recurrence relation for the number of the ways the floor can be tiled. (Just find the recurrence relation together with an appropriate number of initial terms. Do not solve the recurrence)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(n) = 3f(n - 1) + 2f(n - 2)[/tex], if [tex]n \geq 2[/tex].

[tex]f(0) := 1[/tex],  [tex]f(1) := 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]f(n)[/tex] be the number of different tiling of [tex]1 \times n[/tex] floor. We can divide all possible tiling of floor [tex]1 \times n[/tex] into five not overlapping groups by color of last cell in the row (Blue, Red, Green, Orange, White).

The number of tiling [tex]1\times n[/tex] floor such that last cell in row is Blue is exactly f(n - 1) because we can throw away last [tex]1\times 1[/tex] tile and cover the rest [tex]1\times (n - 1)[/tex] cells in f(n - 1) ways. Similarly for Red and Green.

The number of tiling [tex]1\times n[/tex] floor such that last cell in row is Orange is exactly f(n - 2) because we can throw away last [tex]1\times 2[/tex] tile and cover the rest [tex]1\times (n - 2)[/tex] cells in f(n - 2) ways. Similarly for White.

So we get recurrent relation:

[tex]f(n) = 3f(n - 1) + 2f(n - 2)[/tex], if [tex]n \geq 2[/tex].

Now we should define the initial conditions.

[tex]f(0) := 1[/tex] because there is only one empty tiling.

[tex]f(1) := 3[/tex] because we can place Blue, Red or Green tile.

This completely define our recurent sequence because the depth of reccurence is 2.

Because the questions are true and false, that is, there are only two answer options, therefore, you have a success probability = 1/2 = 0.5

The standard deviation can be calculated as follows:

Standard Deviation = (n*p* (1-p)] ^ (1/2)

Supply Chain Management (What's New in Operations Management) (p. 346). Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of safety inventory of cell phones best  buy should carry is $465.277

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

We recall that:

The weekly demand for cell phones=  300 per week

The Standard Deviation = 200 per week

The lead time or number of weeks = 2 weeks (14 days)

Thus,

Z = 95%

= 1.645

Now,

The standard deviation of lead time = Standard deviation√ *√ lead time

Which is

= 200 * √ (2) =2.82.843

So,

The safety inventory = Z * Standard deviation of the lead time

= 1.645 * 2.82.843

$465.277

In a large university, 70% of the students live in the dormitories. A random sample of 110 students is selected for a particular study.The probability that the sample proportion of students living in the dormitories falls in between 0.6 and 0.8 equals a.0.9780 b.0.9318 c.0.9365 d.1.6450

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is (a) 0.9780.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 [tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p[/tex]

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 [tex]\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

As the sample selected is quite large, i.e. n = 110 > 30, the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportion by a Normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu_{\hat p}=p=0.70\\\\\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.70(1-0.70)}{110}}=0.044[/tex]

Compute the probability that the sample proportion of students living in the dormitories falls in between 0.60 and 0.80 as follows:

[tex]P(0.60<\hat p<0.80)=P(\frac{0.60-0.70}{0.044}<\frac{\hat p-\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}}<\frac{0.80-0.70}{0.044})[/tex]

                              [tex]=P(-2.27<Z<2.27)\\\\=P(Z<2.27)-P(Z<-2.27)\\\\=0.98840-0.01160\\\\=0.9768\\\\\approx0.9780[/tex]

*Use a z-table.

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion of students living in the dormitories falls in between 0.60 and 0.80 is approximately equal to 0.9780.

The correct option is (a).
