Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the quadratic formula to get the answer to this

Quadratic Formula: -b +- √b² - 4ac/2a

Once we input A, B, and C into this, and solve any multiplication, we get

x = -1 +- √1 + 20/2

We divide by 2a, which 2a = 2.

-0.5 +- 10.5.

these are the following values of x:

x = 10

x = 11

Pretty sure this is it, hope it helps!

Please I need help on this question, A line passes through (6,3), (8,4), and (n,-2). Find the value of n.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

n= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the equation of line which passes through (6,3) and (8,4).

Then we have to pass this line through the point (n , -2).

we know, equation of line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

$\frac{x-x1}{x1-x2}=\frac{y-y1}{y1-y2}$

So, the equation of line passing through (6,3) and (8,4) is

$\frac{x-6}{6-8}=\frac{y-3}{3-4}$

or, $\frac{x-6}{-2} =\frac{y-3}{-1}$

multiplying both sides by -2

x-6=2(y-3)

or, x-6=2y-6

or, x-2y=6-6

or, x-2y=0

Now, we have to pass this line through (n,-2)

So, using the point in the line, that is using x=n , y=-2

we get

n-2(-2)=0

or, n+4=0

or, n=-4

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The right answer is:

a.H0: μd = 0; H1: μd > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim that want to be tested is that the sales were significantly increased after the commercial, indicanting that the advertisement campaign was effective.

This claim is usually expressed in the alternative hypothesis as it has to have enough evidence to prove that it is true.

Then, the alternative hypothesis H1 should state that the difference (sales after - sales before) is higher than 0.

The null hypothesis would state that the difference is not significantly different from 0, or, in other words, that the sales are the same before and after and that the variation is due to pure chance.

Then, the null hypothesis H0 would state that the difference is equal to 0.

The right answer is:

a.H0: μd = 0; H1: μd > 0

Given (64y^2)+(4x^2)+128y+16x+64=0, transform the equation into the appropriate form

____ [38]

Answer:

(8y+8)²+(4x²+16)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(64y²)+(4x²)+128y+16x+64=0

Find:

Equation into the appropriate form

Computation:

(64y²)+(4x²)+128y+16x+64=0

(8y)²+(2x)²+128y+16x+64=0

(8y)²+(2x)²+2(8y)(8)+2(2x)(4) + 8²=0

(8y+8)²+(4x²+16)=0
