Answer:

\{\frac{4}{9} \}

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we are given a parabola by definition:

f(x) = 9x^2 + 4x + k \\ a = 9, b = 4, c = k;

Since a > 0, our parabola has an upward opening.

Should we think about it graphically, it will be no wonder that we should pay our attention to the points of the parabola intersecting the abscissa axis. In other words, we need our vertex to intersect the x axis only once per se.
The vertex:

V_{x} = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-4}{2 * 9} = - \frac{2}{9} \\ V_{y} = 9V_{x}^2 + 4V_{x} + k = 9(- \frac{2}{9})^2 + 4(- \frac{2}{9}) + k = 9 * \frac{4}{9^2} - \frac{8}{9} + k = \frac{4}{9} - \frac{8}{9} + k = - \frac{4}{9} + k

As a result, our V_{y} is parametric. k = \frac{4}{9} suits us because V_{y} = - \frac{4}{9} + \frac{4}{9} = 0. If k > \frac{4}{9}, we do not have any roots at all. We have two roots if k < \frac{4}{9}.

Hello,

Answer:

for k = 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 9 ; b = 4 ; c = k

we search Δ = 0 (because 1 real root)

Δ = b² - 4ac = 4² - 4 × 9 × k = 16 - 36k

Δ = 0 ⇔  16 - 36k = 0 ⇔ 36k = 16 ⇔ k = 16/36 = (4 × 4)/(4 × 9) = 4/9

⇒ k = 4/9

What is the area of a sector with a central angle of \frac{5 \pi }{6} radians and a diameter of 5.6 in.? Use 3.14 for π and roun
kvasek [131]

Answer:

10.26 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of the sector is

A = area of circle × fraction of circle

  = πr² × \frac{\frac{5\pi }{6} }{2\pi }

  = π × 2.8² × \frac{5}{12} ≈ 10.26 in²

Two consecutive positive integers have a product of 6. what are the integers
sergejj [24]

Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

Quinn is flying a kite. The angle of elevation formed by the kite string and the ground is 46°, and the kite string forms a straight segment that is 80 feet long.Explain how to find the distance between the ground and the kite. Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot. sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenusesin(46°) = y/80y = 80sin(46°)plug this in you calculator to get y = 58 feet
