Consider the system of quadratic equations \begin{align*} y &=3x^2 - 5x, \\ y &= 2x^2 - x - c, \end{align*}where $c$ is

a real number. (a) For what value(s) of $c$ will the system have exactly one solution $(x,y)?$ (b) For what value(s) of $c$ will the system have more than one real solution? (c) For what value(s) of $c$ will the system have no real solutions? Solutions to the quadratics are $(x,y)$ pairs. Your answers will be in terms of $c,$ but make sure you address both $x$ and $y$ for each part.

Hello, we need to solve this system, c being a real number.

\begin{cases}y &= 3x^2-5x\\y &= 2x^2-x-c\end{cases}

y=y, right? So, it comes.

3x^2-5x=2x^2-x-c\\\\3x^2-2x^2-5x+x+c=0\\\\\boxed{x^2-4x+c=0}

We can compute the discriminant.

\Delta=b^2-4ac=4^2-4c=4(4-c)

If the discriminant is 0, there is 1 solution.

It means for 4(4-c)=0  4-c=0  \boxed{c=4}

And the solution is

x_2=x_1=\dfrac{4}{2}=2

If the discriminant is > 0, there are 2 real solutions.

It means 4(4-c) > 0 <=> 4-c > 0 <=> \boxed{c

And the solution are

x_1=\dfrac{4-\sqrt{4(4-c)}}{2}=\dfrac{4-2\sqrt{4-c}}{2}=2-\sqrt{4-c}\\\\x_2=2+\sqrt{4-c}

If the discriminant is < 0, there are no real solutions.

It means 4(4-c) < 0 <=> 4-c < 0 <=> \boxed{c>4}

There are no real solutions and the complex solutions are

x_1=\dfrac{4-\sqrt{4(4-c)}}{2}=\dfrac{4-2\sqrt{i^2(c-4)}}{2}=2-\sqrt{c-4}\cdot i\\\\x_2=2+\sqrt{c-4}\cdot i

Thank you.

The ratio of ebooks to novels is 4:5. if there are 32 ebooks how many novels are there?
12345 [234]
<h3>Answer:  40 novels</h3>

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

Work Shown:

n = number of novels

(32 ebooks)/(n novels) = 4/5

32/n = 4/5

32*5 = n*4 ............ cross multiply

160 = 4n

4n = 160

n = 160/4 .............. dividing both sides by 4

n = 40

There are 40 novels.

What is the common difference of the following sequence? 4.3,5,7,9,11___<br>5.16,19,22,25__​
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4). Given sequence → 3, 5, 7, 9, 11........

    Common difference of an arithmetic sequence is defined by,

    Common difference = Successive term - previous term

                                       = 2nd term - 1st term

                                       = 5 - 3

                                       = 2

5). Given sequence → 16, 19, 22, 25........

    Common difference of an arithmetic sequence = Second term - first term

                                                                                    = 19 - 16

                                                                                     = 3

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of aircraft accidents is 9 per month. Find​ P(0), the prob
Ugo [173]

Answer: 0.0001

It is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft​ accidents .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  Mean number of aircraft accidents = 9 per month

The Poisson distribution formula :-

\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}, where \lambda is the mean of the distribution.

If X = the number of aircraft accidents per month, then the probability that in a​ month, there will be no aircraft accidents will be :-

\dfrac{e^{-9}(9)^0}{0!}=0.000123409804087\approx0.0001

Hence, the probability that in a​ month, there will be no aircraft accidents = 0.0001

Since this is less than 0.5 , therefor it is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft​ accidents .
