The larger of the two roots of the equation $y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17$ would be 28.59.

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

Then its roots are given as:

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

The given quadratic equation is

$y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17$

now, the roots of the equation are

$x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{63.5^2 - 4(-2.2)(-17)}}{2(-2.2)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{4032.25 - 149.6}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{3882.65}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm 62.31}{(-4.4)}$

The two roots are 0.27 and 28.59.

Thus, the larger of the two roots of the equation $y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17$ would be 28.59.

Answer:

x = 71/5 (as an improper fraction)

x = 14 1/5 (as a proper fraction

x = 14.2 (as a decimal)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a rectangle so the diagonals are equal

7x - 9 = 2x + 62

Subtract 2x from both sides

5x - 9 = 62

Add 9 to both sides

5x = 71

Divide both sides by 5

x = 71/5 (as an improper fraction)

x = 14 1/5 (as a proper fraction

x = 14.2 (as a decimal)

<span>Scientific NotationDate: 09/16/97 at 00:42:42 From: Aubin Subject: Scientific notation How do you do this problem? I don't understand how you're supposed to get the answer: 5x10 to the 3rd power = 5,000 5x10 to the -3rd power = -5,000 Is this correct? <span>Date: 11/03/97 at 09:56:46 From: Doctor Pipe Subject: Re: Scientific notation Aubin, The first part of what you wrote is correct; 5x10 to the 3rd power = 5,000. The second part is not correct. Writing a negative exponent, such as 10^-3 (read that as ten to the minus third power) is the same as writing 1/(10^3) (read that as one over ten to the third power). Notice that the exponent is negative when writing 10^-3 and positive when writing 1/(10^3) - yet the two numbers are equal. Remember that any number to the zeroeth power, say 10^0, is equal to 1. 10^0 = 1; 5^0 = 1; 275^0 = 1. Remember also that when multiplying two numbers written as base^exponent, if the base in both numbers is equal then we add together the exponents: 10^5 x 10^6 = 10^(5+6) = 10^11. If we have a number 10^5, what number do we multiply it by to get 1? Well, 10^5 x 10^(-5) = 10^(5 + (-5)) = 10^0 = 1. So if 10^5 x 10^(-5) = 1 then 10^(-5) = 1 / 10^5 So, since 10^3 = 1,000 then 10^(-3) = 1/(10^3) = 1/1,000 = 0.001 . It follows from this that: 5x10 to the -3rd power = 5 x 10^(-3) = 5 x 0.001 = 0.005 . The reason for this can be seen by examining what numbers to the right of the decimal point represent. You know what numbers to the left of the decimal point represent: the units digit represents the numeral times 10^0 (any number to the 0th power is 1), the tens digit represents the numeral times 10^1, the hundreds digit represents the numeral times 10^2, and so on. Well, to the right of the decimal point, the tenths digit represents the numeral times 10^-1, the hundredths digit represents the numeral times 10^-2, the thousandths digit represents the numeral times 10^-3, and so on. It's important to understand exponents because exponents allow us to extend the range of numbers that we can work with by allowing us to easily write and work with very large and very small numbers. It's so much easier to write: 10^23 then to write: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Or to write: 10^(-23) instead of: 0.00000000000000000000001</span></span>

A number of fiction books at a library was 3/4 of the total number of books. After 592 fiction books were donated to the library

Zielflug [23.3K]

There approximately 7133 books in the library;

Data;

Let the number of total books = x
Number of fictional books = 3/4x

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

To solve this problem, we simply need to use an equation to explain the word problem into mathematical statements.

Let the total number of books be represented by x

The number of fictional books = 3/4x

After 592 fictional books were donated;

$\frac{3x}{4} + 592 = \frac{5}{6}x$

Let collect like terms and solve

$\frac{3x}{4} +592 = \frac{5}{6} x\\\frac{5}{6}x - \frac{3x}{4} = 592\\ 0.083x=592\\x = 592/0.083\\x = 7132.53$

There approximately 7133 books in the library;

F(x) = cot x PRE CALC HELP PLS?!

alisha [4.7K]

Check the picture below.

is it even? well, even functions use the y-axis as a mirror, so a pre-image on the right-side, will be a mirror of the image on the left-side, but in this case it isn't so, if you put a mirror right on the y-axis, the left-side will look a bit different.

does it have a zero at x = 0? well, just look at the graph, is the line touching the x-axis at 0? nope.

does it have an asymptote at 0? well, surely you can see it right there.
