Answer:

A real solution (in agreement with statement <em>d</em> in your list of answer options)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the expression b^2-4ac  is what is called the "discriminant" of a quadratic equation of the form: a\,x^2+b\,x+c=0

and such is because, the possible solutions for the unknown x" of such equation are given by the <em>quadratic formula</em>:

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

and if you notice, inside the square-root symbol you find exactly the expression b^2-4ac

This is called the discriminant because it allows us to discriminate, discern how many and the type of solutions the equation can have.

Notice that if this discriminant is zero, the expression inside the square root becomes zero, and square root of zero is zero. That means that the quadratic formula will render not two, but a solution which is real:

The real number that derives from making the quotient of the real numbers:

\frac{-b}{2a}

To investigate the relationship between amount of sales y (in thousands of dollars) and the amount x (in hundreds of dollars) sp
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

(A) For each additional hundred dollars spent on advertising, sales are predicted to increase by $2,380.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression isa statistical equation, denoting relationship between independent (causal) variable(s) & dependent (effected) variable.

y = a <u>+</u> bx

where y = dependent variable, x = dependent variable, a (intercept) = autonomous value of y, b (slope) = change in y due to change in x

Regression equation of independent variable (x) as advertising expenditure & dependent variable (y) sales : y = 24.45 + 2.38x

Sales are in thousands of dollars, advertising expenditure is in hundreds of dollars. So, the interpretations are :

  • Intercept interpretation : When there is zero advertising expenditure, sales are 24.45 thousands i.e $24450
  • Slope Interpretation :<u> When advertisement expenditure change (rise) by 1 hundred, sales change (rise) by 2.38 thousand i.e</u><u> </u><u>$2380</u>

Given that sin x = cos 2x find the value of x​
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The most straightforward way to obtain the expression for cos(2x) is by using the "cosine of the sum" formula: cos(x + y) = cosx*cosy - sinx*siny. cos(2x) = cos² (x) - (1 - cos²(x)) = 2cos²(x) - 1. = 2cos²(x) - 1.

Given sinθ=- 3/5 and cscθ=-5/3 in quadrant III, find the value of other trigonometric functions using a Pythagorean Identity. Sh
Yakvenalex [24]
Let ABC be a triangle in the 3rd quadrant, right-angled at B. 
 So, AB-> Perpendicular BC -> Base AC -> Hypotenuse. 
Given: sinθ=-3/5 cosecθ=-5/3 
 According to Pythagorean theorem, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of the other two sides.
 Therefore in triangle ABC, 〖AC〗^2=〖AB〗^2+〖BC〗^2 ------
--(1)
 Since sinθ=Perpendicular/Hypotenuse ,
 AC=5 and AB=3
 Substituting these values in equation (1)
 
〖BC〗^2=〖AC〗^2-〖AB〗^2

 ă€–BC〗^2=5^2-3^2
 

 ă€–BC〗^2=25-9

 ă€–BC〗^2=16

 BC=4 units

 Since the triangle is in the 3rd quadrant, all trigonometric ratios, except tan
and cot are negative.
 So,cosθ=Base/Hypotenuse Cosθ=-4/5 
 secθ=Hypotnuse/Base secθ=-5/4 
 tanθ=Perpendicular/Base tanθ=3/4  
 cotθ=Base/Perpendicular cotθ=4/3
