• The value of the discriminant ,D= -16

,

• The solution to the quadratic equation is

x=\frac{1+2i}{5}\text{     or    }\frac{1-2i}{5}

Step - by - Step Explanation

What to find?

• The discriminant d= b² - 4ac

,

• The solution to the quadratic equation.

Given:

5x² - 2x + 1=0

Comparing the given equation with the general form of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c=0

a=5 b=-2 and c=1

Uisng the quadratic formula to solve;

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

The discriminant D=b² - 4ac

Substitute the values into the discriminant formula and simplify.

D = (-2)² - 4(5)(1)

D = 4 - 20

D = -16

We can now proceed to find the solution of the quadratic equation by substituting into the quadratic formula;

x=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt[]{-16}}{2(5)}

Note that:

√-1 = i

x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16\times-1}}{10}

x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt[]{16}\times\sqrt[]{-1}}{10}x=\frac{2\pm4i}{10}x=\frac{2}{10}\pm\frac{4i}{10}x=\frac{1}{5}\pm\frac{2}{5}ix=\frac{1\pm2i}{5}

That is;

\text{Either x=}\frac{1+2i}{5}\text{ or     x=}\frac{1-2i}{5}

A cylinder has a volume of 245 cubic units and a height of 5 units. The diameter of the cylinder is
frutty [35]

The independent variable here is b, the number of mats; the dependent var. is p, the cost of b mats. Thus, p = f(b).


Here, 245 units^3 = pi*r^2*(5 units), or


245 units^3

r^2 = ------------------- = 15.61 units^2. Thus, the radius is sqrt(15.61 units^2), or

5(3.14) units 3.95 units. The DIAMETER is d = 2*r = 7.90 units.

The following are the number of sales which a sample of 9 car salespeople of an insurance company in Florida and a sample of 8 s
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

There is no difference in the number of sales between The Florida salespeople and Washington salespeople

Sp^2 = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

Florida: 39, 44, 42, 50, 55, 48, 51, 38, 54

Washington: 42, 43, 56, 50, 49, 52, 53, 56

number of sales persons in Florida = 9

number of sales persons in Washington = 8

variance = constant

a)Determine if there is difference between the Florida salespeople and Washington salespeople

we will carry out a two tailed test based on the given data

H0 : u1 = u2  

H1 : u1 ≠ u2

x ( mean ) = 46.77,  y ( mean ) = 50.13 ,

s1^2 = 39.69,  s2^2 = 28.41,   n1 = 9 ,   n2 = 8

therefore :

Sp^2 = \frac{n1s1^2 + n2s2^2}{n1 + n2-2} =  38.96  ≈ 39

performing test statistic

t = \frac{x- y }{sp\sqrt{\frac{1}{n1} +\frac{1}{n2} } }    = \frac{-3.36}{3.0330} = -1.1078

critical value is at t = 0.05 and for a two tailed test it is at 2.13  therefore e accept H0 at 5% .    This shows that there is no difference in sales
