The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

<h3>What kind of roots does have a cubic equation? </h3>

In this problem we have a <em>cubic</em> equation and the nature of their roots must be inferred according to a <em>algebraic</em> method.

Cubic equations are polynomials of the form y = a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d, there is a method to infer the nature of the roots of such polynomials: The discriminant from Cardano's method, an <em>analytical</em> method used to solve polynomials of the form a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d = 0.

The discriminant is described below:

Δ = 18 · a · b · c · d - 4 · b³ · d + b² · c² - 4 · a · c³ - 27 · a² · d²      (1)

Where:

  1. There are three <em>distinct real</em> roots for Δ > 0.
  2. Real roots with multiplicity greater than 1 for Δ = 0.
  3. A <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots for Δ < 0.

If we know that a = 1, b = 2, c = 4 and d = 8, then the nature of the roots is:

Δ = 18 · 1 · 2 · 4 · 8 - 4 · 2³ · 8 + 2² · 4² - 4 · 1 · 4³ - 27 · 1² · 8²

Δ = - 1024

The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

If y has moment-generating function m(t) = e 6(e t −1) , what is p(|y − µ| ≤ 2σ)?
Lostsunrise [7]
Since \mathrm M_Y(t)=e^{6(e^t-1}, we know that Y follows a Poisson distribution with parameter \lambda=6.

Now assuming \mu,\sigma denote the mean and standard deviation of Y, respectively, then we know right away that \mu=6 and \sigma=\sqrt6.

So,

\mathbb P(|Y-\mu|\le2\sigma)=\mathbb P(6-2\sqrt6\le Y\le6+2\sqrt6)=\dfrac{66366}{175e^6}\approx0.940028

Which equation is correct
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
1. Two of the main identities used in trigonometry for right triangles (Triangles that have an angle of 90°) are: Sine (Sin) and Cosine (Cos).


 Sin x°=Opposite/Hypotenuse

 Cos x°=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

 2. The inverse of Sinx° is Cosec x°, then:

 Cosec x°=1/Sin x°

 3. The inverse of Cos x° is Sec x°, then:

 Sec x°=1/Cos x°

 4. Keeping this on mind, you have:

 Cosc x°=Hypotenuse/Opposite

 Sec x°=Hypotenuse/Adjacent

 5. Therefore, the correct answer is:

 The third option: Cosec x°=Hypotenuse/Opposite.
