3. In a sample of 250 high school seniors,

Mathematics
1 answer:
astraxan [27]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

0.02 (the first option)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because a proportion means there is division going on. If 5 out of the 250 students have red hair, this creates a fraction of \frac{5}{250} and when you divide this out: 5 ÷ 250, you get 0.02

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with
12345 [234]

Answer:

x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (-6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of a parabola in vertex form:  y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex

Substituting the given vertex (-3, -18) into the equation:

y = a(x + 3)² - 18

If the y-intercept is (0, 0) then substitute x=0 and y=0 into the equation and solve for a:

0 = a(0 + 3)² - 18

⇒ 0 = a(3)² - 18

⇒ 0 = 9a - 18

⇒ 9a = 18

⇒ a = 2

Therefore, y = 2(x + 3)² - 18

To find the x-intercepts, set the equation to 0 and solve for x:

                                 2(x + 3)² - 18 = 0

Add 18 to both sides:     2(x + 3)² = 18

Divide both sides by 2:    (x + 3)² = 9

Square root both sides:      x + 3 = ±3

Subtract 3 from both sides:  x = ±3 - 3

so x = 3 - 3 = 0  

and  x = -3 - 3 = -6

So x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (-6, 0)

For which value of b can the expression x2 + bx + 18 be factored?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answers:

  • b = -19
  • b = -11
  • b = -9
  • b = 19
  • b = 11
  • b = 9

====================================================

Explanation:

Here are all the ways to multiply to 18 when using integers only:

  • -1*(-18) = 18
  • -2*(-9) = 18
  • -3*(-6) = 18
  • 1*18 = 18
  • 2*9 = 18
  • 3*6 = 18

Sum each pair of factors to find out a possible value of b.

  • -1 + (-18) = -19
  • -2 + (-9) = -11
  • -3 + (-6) = -9
  • 1 + 18 = 19
  • 2 + 9 = 11
  • 3 + 6 = 9

Therefore, the possible values of b are

  • b = -19
  • b = -11
  • b = -9
  • b = 19
  • b = 11
  • b = 9

which are the final answers.

----------------------

An example:

Let's say b = 11. This would mean x^2+bx+18 becomes x^2+11x+18

It would factor to (x+2)(x+9) since it was stated earlier that:

2+9 = 11

2 * 9 = 18

You can use the FOIL rule, distributive property, or the box method to confirm that x^2+11x+18 = (x+2)(x+9) is a true equation for all real numbers x.

This same idea applies for the other values of b.

----------------------

If you're curious why this works, consider multiplying the two factors (x+p) and (x+q)

Use the FOIL rule to get (x+p)(x+q) = x^2+qx+px+pq = x^2+(p+q)x + pq

The middle term (p+q)x has the components add to the coefficient, while those same two components multiply to get the last term. This is why when factoring we're looking for two numbers that multiply to 18, and also add to the value of b (which in the case of the last example was 11).
