How many and what type of solution(s) does the equation have?

1 answer:

3 0

Let's use the quadratic formula:

2w² - 20w + 50 = 0
a = 2 b = -20 c = 50

x = -b +-sq root(b^2 - 4*a*c) / 2*a
x = --20 +-sq root(400 -4*2*50) / 4
x = 20 +-sq root(400 -4*2*50) / 4
x = 20 +-sq root( 0) / 4
x = 20 / 4 =5
I'd say it has one rational solution.
It does NOT have 2 solutions because the "plus / minus" section = 0.

The average of four numbers is 26.

Alchen [17]

Answer: 26!!

Step-by-step explanation: the average is like the mean which is all 4 numbers added together divided by 4. 26 times 4 is 104. 20 +42+16 = 78. 104 - 78 is 26 so the 4th number is 26. you can check the work by adding 20 42 16 and 26 together which equals 104. 104 divided by 4 is 26!! so our answer is correct!!

In Metro Vancouver, the proportion of households that were renters in 2011 was 0.34. Imagine you constructed a sampling distribu

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: $\mu=170\ ;\ \sigma=10.59$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The proportion of households that were renters in 2011 : p= 0.34

Sample size : n= 500

The mean and standard deviation for binomial distribution is given by :-

$\mu=np\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Then , the mean and standard deviation of the given sampling distribution :-

$\mu=500(0.34)=170\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{500(0.34)(1-0.34)}\approx10.59$

Evaluate the limit of tan 4x/ 4tan3x

Brut [27]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is undefined at x=0, so we presume that's where we're interested in the limit. Both numerator and denominator are zero at x=0, so L'Hôpital's rule applies. According to that rule, we replace numerator and denominator with their respective derivatives.

$\displaystyle\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan{(4x)}}{4\tan{(3x)}}=\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan'{(4x)}}{4\tan'{(3x)}}=\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{4\sec{(4x)^2}}{12\sec{(3x)^2}}=\dfrac{4}{12}\\\\\boxed{\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan{(4x)}}{4\tan{(3x)}}=\dfrac{1}{3}}$
