ANSWER

1. k=13

2. x=-10

EXPLANATION

The given function is

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 3x - 10$

To find f(x+5), plug in (x+5) wherever you see x.

This implies that:

$f(x) = {(x + 5)}^{2} + 3(x + 5) - 10$

Expand:

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 10x + 25+ 3x + 15- 10$

Simplify to obtain

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 13x + 30$

We now compare with,

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + kx + 30$

This implies that:

$k = 13$

To find the smallest zero of f(x+5), we equate the function to zero and solve for x.

${x}^{2} + 13x + 30 = 0$

${x}^{2} + 10x + 3x + 30 = 0$

$x(x + 10) + 3(x + 10) = 0$

$(x + 3)(x + 10) = 0$

$x = - 10 \: or \: x = - 3$

The smallest zero is -10.

The average of five distinct scores has the same value as the median of the five scores. The sum of the five scores is 420. What

givi [52]

Answer:

The sum of five scores that is not the median is, 336

Step-by-step explanation:

Average defined as the the sum of the observation to the total number of the observation.

Given: The sum of the five scores is 420

Then, by definition of average;

Average of five distinct score = $\frac{420}{5} = 84$

It is also, given that the average of five distinct scores has the same value as the median of the five scores.

⇒Median of five scores = 84

Since, scores are distinct, therefore

Sum of all scores that is not the median = Sum of five scores - median = 420-84 = 336

therefore, the sum of five scores that is not the median is, 336

Find, correct to four decimal places, the length of the curve of intersection of the cylinder 4x2 1 y2 − 4 and the plane x 1 y 1

charle [14.2K]

Answer- Length of the curve of intersection is 13.5191 sq.units

Solution-

As the equation of the cylinder is in rectangular for, so we have to convert it into parametric form with

x = cos t, y = 2 sin t (∵ 4x² + y² = 4 ⇒ 4cos²t + 4sin²t = 4, then it will satisfy the equation)

Then, substituting these values in the plane equation to get the z parameter,

cos t + 2sin t + z = 2

⇒ z = 2 - cos t - 2sin t

∴ $\frac{dx}{dt} = -\sin t$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 2 \cos t$

$\frac{dz}{dt} = \sin t-2cos t$

As it is a full revolution around the original cylinder is from 0 to 2π, so we have to integrate from 0 to 2π

∴ Arc length

$= \int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt})^{2}+(\frac{dy}{dt})^{2}+(\frac{dz}{dt})^{2}$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(-\sin t)^{2}+(2\cos t)^{2}+(\sin t-2\cos t)^{2}$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(2\sin t)^{2}+(8\cos t)^{2}-(4\sin t\cos t)$

Now evaluating the integral using calculator,

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(2\sin t)^{2}+(8\cos t)^{2}-(4\sin t\cos t)$ $= 13.5191$
