Answer:

f(x) = (x -6)² +14

Step-by-step explanation:

Completing the square involves writing part of the function as a perfect square trinomial.

<h3>Perfect square trinomial</h3>

The square of a binomial results in a perfect square trinomial:

(x -h)² = x² -2hx +h²

The constant term (h²) in this trinomial is the square of half the coefficient of the linear term: h² = ((-2h)/2)².

<h3>Completing the square</h3>

One way to "complete the square" is to add and subtract the constant necessary to make a perfect square trinomial from the variable terms.

Here, we recognize the coefficient of the linear term is -12, so the necessary constant is (-12/2)² = 36. Adding and subtracting this, we have ...

f(x) = x² -12x +36 +50 -36

Rearranging into the desired form, this is ...

f(x) = (x -6)² +14

<em>Additional comment</em>

Another way to achieve the same effect is to split the given constant into two parts, one of which is the constant necessary to complete the square.

f(x) = x² -12x +(36 +14)

f(x) = (x² -12x +36) +14

f(x) = (x -6)² +14

Compute delta y/delta x for the interval [2,5], where y = 4x - 9.

Kamila [148]

We have to compute: Δ y / Δ x.
The interval is [ 2, 5 ] and y = 4 x - 9.
y 1 = 4 · 2 - 9 = 8 - 9 = - 1
y 2 = 4 · 5 - 9 = 20 - 9 = 11
Δ y / Δ x = ( y 2 - y 1 ) / ( x 2 - x 1 ) =
= ( 11 - ( - 1 ) ) / ( 5 - 2 ) = ( 11 + 1 ) / 3 = 12 / 3 = 4
Answer:
Δ y / Δ x = 4

Solve the system by substitution.<br> y = -9x<br> y = 2x + 33

Gwar [14]

Answer:

$y = - 9x \\ theny = 2x + 33 \\ - 9x = 2x + 33 \\ - 9x - 2x = 33 \\ - 11x = 33 \\ x = \frac{ - 33}{11} = - 3 \\ x = - 3 \\then\\ y=-9×-3=21\\ thank \: you$

A box contains 24 transistors,4 of which are defective. If 4 are sold at random,find the following probabilities. i. Exactly 2 a

zavuch27 [327]

SOLUTION

This is a binomial probability. For i, we will apply the Binomial probability formula

i. Exactly 2 are defective

Using the formula, we have

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^nC_x\left(p^x\right?\left(q^{n-x}\right) \\ Where\text{ } \\ P_x=binomial\text{ probability} \\ x=number\text{ of times for a specific outcome with n trials =2} \\ p=\text{ probability of success = }\frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6} \\ q=probability\text{ of failure =1-}\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6} \\ ^nC_x=\text{ number of combinations = }^4C_2 \\ n=\text{ number of trials = 4} \end{gathered}$

Note that I made the probability of being defective as the probability of success = p

and probability of none defective as probability of failure = q

Exactly 2 are defective becomes the binomial probability

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^4C_2\times\lparen\frac{1}{6})^2\times\lparen\frac{5}{6})^{4-2} \\ P_x=6\times\frac{1}{36}\times\frac{25}{36} \\ P_x=\frac{25}{216} \\ =0.1157 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 0.1157

(ii) None is defective becomes
