What is the constant term that completes the perfect square trinomial. y^2 + y

1 answer:

4 0

Y^2 + y

y^2 + y + 0.25 <=== the constant term is 0.25
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) =
(y + 0.5)^2

to find the constant, u take half of ur y coefficient (not the y^2 coefficient)....y^2 + 1y....ur y coefficient is 1......half of it is 0.5....u then square it....(0.5^2) = 0.25 ....this is ur constant

Math question: Write the equation of the line with an undefined slope, passing through the point (2, 5).

lana [24]

When an equation has a line with an undefined slope, it means that the line is vertical.

(2,5); 2 is the x - coordinate and 5 is the y - coordinate

Slope - intercept form: y = mx + b

As shown above, the equation would've been written in slope - intercept form, where 'm' represents the slope and 'b' represents the y - intercept. However, in this case, the slope is undefined.
In the equation, you are ONLY looking for the x - intercept. Therefore, the x - intercept is 5, so that may be the equation of the line.

x = 5

Answer:

48.41% probability that 17 or fewer of them are bilingual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
