How many solutions does the following equation have? -14(z-5)=-14x+70

Answers

Answer:

Infinite amount of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have no solution

Same lines have infinite solutions

Intersecting lines have 1 solution

Step 1: Write out equation

-14(x - 5) = -14x + 70

Step 2: Distribute -14

-14x + 70 = -14x + 70

Here we see that we have 2 exact same lines. Therefore, we have infinite amount of solutions.

Alternatively, we can plug in any number x and it would work. So then we would have infinite amount of solutions as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired point is the weighted average of the end points, where the weight of each point is the fraction of distance from the opposite end.

  P = 5/8(-1, 7) +3/8(-5, -9) = (-5-15, 35-27)/8 = (-2.5, 1)

Construct a polynomial function with the following properties: fifth degree, 4 is a zero of multiplicity 3, −2 is the only other zero, leading coefficient is 2.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ 2(x-4)^3(x+2)^2 \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

Construct a polynomial function with the following properties...

... fifth degree

It means that the polynomial can be written as below.

[tex]a_5x^5+a_4x^4+a_3x^3+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0 \ \text{ with }a_5\text{ different from 0}\\\\\text{ or } k(x-x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)(x-x_4)(x-x_5) \\\\ \text{ with k different from 0 and } (x_i)_{1\leqi\leq 5 } \text { are the roots.}[/tex]

... 4 is a zero of multiplicity 3

We can write the polynomial as below.

[tex]k(x-4)(x-4)(x-4)(x-x_4)(x-x_5)=k(x-4)^3(x-x_4)(x-x_5)[/tex]

... −2 is the only other zero

Because this is the only other zero, we can deduce that -2 is a zero of multiplicity 2.

[tex]k(x-4)(x-4)(x-4)(x-x_4)(x-x_5)\\\\=k(x-4)^3(x-(-2))(x-(-2))\\\\=k(x-4)^3(x+2)^2[/tex]

... leading coefficient is 2.

Finally, it means that k = 2 and then the polynomial function is:

[tex]\large \boxed{2(x-4)^3(x+2)^2}[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

find the value of y​

Answers

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the log function [tex](y-1)log_{10}(4) = log_{10} 16\\ \\[/tex] to get the value of y, the following steps must be carried out;

[tex](y-1)log_{10}(4) = log_{10} 16\\\\(y-1)log_{10}(2^2) = log_{10} 2^4\\\\ (y-1)2log_{10}(2) = 4log_{10} 2\\ \\DIvide\ both\ sides\ by \ log_{10}2\\\\\frac{2(y-1)log_{10}2 }{log_{10}2} = \frac{4log_{10}2}{log_{10}2} \\\\2(y-1) = 4\\\\[/tex]

Open the bracket

[tex]2y-2(1) = 4\\\\2y -2 = 4\\\\add \ 2 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\2y-2+2 = 4+2\\\\2y = 6\\\\Divide \ both \ sides\ by \ 2\\\\2y/2 = 6/2\\\\y = 3[/tex]

Find the critical numbers of the function. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = 8x3 − 12x2 − 48x

Answers

Answer:

(2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = 8x³ − 12x² − 48x, the critical point of the function occurs at its turning point i,e at f'(x) = 0

First we have to differentiate the function as shown;

[tex]f'(x)= 3(8)x^{3-1}- 2(12)x^{2-1} - 48x^{1-1}\\ \\f'(x) = 24x^2 - 24x-48x^0\\\\f'(x) = 24x^2 - 24x-48\\\\At \ the\turning\ point\ f'(x)= 0\\24x^2 - 24x-48 = 0\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]Dividing \ through \ by \ 24\\\\x^2-x-2 = 0\\\\On \ factorizing\\\\x^2-2x+x-2 = 0\\\\x(x-2)+1(x-2) = 0\\\\(x-2)(x+1) = 0\\\\x-2 = 0 \ and \ x+1 = 0\\\\x = 2 \ and \ -1[/tex]

Hence the critical numbers of the function are (2, -1)

[tex]\boxed{345,600 mL}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well first we need to find the amount of seconds in a day,

24hrs in a day * 60 min in an hour

= 1440 minutes in a day

1440 min • 60 secs in a minute

= 86,400 seconds in a day

So now we do 2*86400 = 172800

172800 mL in a day

172800 * 2

= 345600 mL in 2 days

Suppose P( A) = 0.60, P( B) = 0.85, and A and B are independent. The probability of the complement of the event ( A and B) is: a. .4 × .15 = .060 b. 0.40 + .15 = .55 c. 1 − (.40 + .15) = .45 d. 1 − (.6 × .85) = .490

Answers

Answer: a. 0.4 × 0.15 = 0.060

Step-by-step explanation: Probability of the complement of an event is the one that is not part of the event.

For P(A):

P(A') = 1 - 0.6

P(A') = 0.4

For P(B):

P(B') = 1 - 0.85

P(B') = 0.15

To determine probability of A' and B':

P(A' and B') = P(A')*P(B')

P(A' and B') = 0.4*0.15

P(A' and B') = 0.06

Probability of the complement of the event is 0.060

Can somebody explain how trigonometric form polar equations are divided/multiplied?

Answers

Answer:

Attachment 1 : Option C

Attachment 2 : Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

( 1 ) Expressing the product of z1 and z2 would be as follows,

[tex]14\left[\cos \left(\frac{\pi \:}{5}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi \:\:}{5}\right)\right]\cdot \:2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{3\pi \:}{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{3\pi \:\:}{2}\right)\right][/tex]

Now to solve such problems, you will need to know what cos(π / 5) is, sin(π / 5) etc. If you don't know their exact value, I would recommend you use a calculator,

cos(π / 5) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}[/tex],

sin(π / 5) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}}{4}[/tex]

cos(3π / 2) = 0,

sin(3π / 2) = - 1

Let's substitute those values in our expression,

[tex]14\left[\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}}{4}\right]\cdot \:2\sqrt{2}\left[0-i\right][/tex]

And now simplify the expression,

[tex]14\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}+i\left(-7\sqrt{10}-7\sqrt{2}\right)[/tex]

The exact value of [tex]14\sqrt{5-\sqrt{5}}[/tex] = [tex]23.27510\dots[/tex] and [tex](-7\sqrt{10}-7\sqrt{2}\right))[/tex] = [tex]-32.03543\dots[/tex] Therefore we have the expression [tex]23.27510 - 32.03543i[/tex], which is close to option c. As you can see they approximated the solution.

( 2 ) Here we will apply the following trivial identities,

cos(π / 3) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex],

sin(π / 3) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex],

cos(- π / 6) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex],

sin(- π / 6) = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Substitute into the following expression, representing the quotient of the given values of z1 and z2,

[tex]15\left[cos\left(\frac{\pi \:}{3}\right)+isin\left(\frac{\pi \:\:}{3}\right)\right] \div \:3\sqrt{2}\left[cos\left(\frac{-\pi \:}{6}\right)+isin\left(\frac{-\pi \:\:}{6}\right)\right][/tex] ⇒

[tex]15\left[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]\div \:3\sqrt{2}\left[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+-\frac{1}{2}\right][/tex]

The simplified expression will be the following,

[tex]i\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex] or in other words [tex]\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}i[/tex] or [tex]\frac{5i\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

The solution will be option a, as you can see.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20)?On the graph of the equation 3x + 2y = 18, what is the value of the y-intercept?

Answers

Answer: The slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) is 4.

The value of the y-intercept is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) = [tex]\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}[/tex]

Then, the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) = [tex]\dfrac{20-12}{4-2}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{2}=4[/tex]

So, the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) is 4.

To find the y-intercept of 3x + 2y = 18, first write in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where c= y-intercept ).

[tex]2y=-3x+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+9[/tex]

By comparison,  c= 9

Hence, the value of the y-intercept is 9.

Find the length of FT¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A. 77.71 B. 72.47 C. 56.84 D. 49.42

Answers

Answer:

D, 49.42

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔVFT=180-90-43=47

formula

a/sin A = b/sin B/ = c/sin C

So,

FV/sin90=53/sin47

FV=72.4684

FT=√(72.4684)^2-(53)^2

FT=49.4234

Ans:D

The length FT in the given right-angle triangle is 49.42.

So option D is the correct answer.

We are given a right-angle triangle and to find the length of any side we can use Pythagoras theorem or trigonometric identities.

In the triangle, we see that TV = 53 and ∠ FVT = 43°

We will find the length FT by using Pythagoras theorem or trigonometric identities.

What are trigonometric functions?

There are some commonly used trigonometric identities:

SinФ = Perpendicular / hypotenuse

Cos Ф = Base / hypotenuse

Tan Ф =  Perpendicular / Base

We will use Tan Ф =  Perpendicular / Base to find the length FT.

Because we need to use trigonometric identities that have TV and FT.

Tan Ф = FT / TV

Tan 43° = FT / 53

FT = Tan 43° x 53

FT = 0.932515 X 53

FT = 49.42

Thus we got FT = 49.42 using the tan function.

Draw two normal curves that have the same mean but different standard deviations. Describe the similarities and differences. Compare the two curves. The two curves will have ▼ the same line different lines of symmetry. The curve with the larger standard deviation will be ▼ more less spread out than the curve with the smaller standard deviation.

Answers

Answer:

The same mean  ⇒  the same symmetry axis

Bigger standard deviation major spread

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

The annex shows two different normal curves:

1.-  N (μ₀ ; σ₁ )

2.- N (μ₀ ; σ₂ )

Where   σ₁  > σ₂

They both have the same symmetry  axis ( they have the same mean and both curves have to be symmetrically related to the mean )

Normal distribution curves spread symmetrically at both sides of the mean, but the wider curve is the one that has the bigger standard deviation.  Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of the curve.

Whenever deviation is high, the data is more dispersed than when deviation is low.

Let the mean be 2.

Let the standard deviation be 0.3 for first graph. The data is more clustered around mean.

Let the standard deviation be 0.6 for second graph. The data is less clustered more dispersed from mean.

Add:

5/24+9/20

Answers

Answer:

79/120

Step-by-step explanation:

5/24+9/20

to add the fractions the denominator (bottom part) has to be the same. ex you can add one third and one third to make two thirds. but you wont know what 1/2 + 1/3 is.

convert to same denominator. to do this, the fractions themselves need to stay the same value but the bottom number needs to change. ex 1/2=2/4 and 1/3= 2/6. when you multiply and divide the top and bottom part of the fraction by the same number, the value of the fraction stays the same. ex 3/6 divide both parts by 3 you get 1/3. so 3/6=1/3

to get the common denominator we have to find the least common multiple, or LCM (since 5 and 9 dont share any common factors.)

24 and 20 LCM

=120

convert both 5/24+9/20 to x/120 and y/120

5/24 multiply by 5 on top and bottom

=25/120

9/20 multiply by 6 on top and bottom

=54/120

25/120+54/120

=(25+54)/120

=79/120
