Answer:

-25  

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)   y = -2x²

(2) y =   2x² + k     Subtract (1) from (2)

    0 =  4x² + k      Subtract 4x² from each side

    k = -4x²

The parabolas are <em>symmetrical about the y-axis.</em>

Segment AB = 5, so x = +2.5 and x = +2.5.

k = -4(±2.5)² = -4 × 6.25 = -25

How can you determine if you need to use a combination or permutation to count the number of outcomes? Which will usually have m
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation : It is an arrangement of r elements out of n elements.

Combination : it is a selection of r element out of n elements .

Suppose we have a set

S={1,2,3}

If two elements are taken at a time then

Using permutation formula

Total number of outcomes=3P_2

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3!}{(3-2)!}

Total number of outcomes=3!=3\times 2\times1=6

Using combination formula

\binom{n}{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Total number of outcomes=\binom{3}{2}=\frac{3!}{2!1!}

Total number of outcomes=\frac{3\times2!}{2!}

Hence, total number of outcomes=3

Total number of outcomes determined by permutation have more outcomes.

Because permutation is an arrangement of elements  therefore, it consider order of arrangement of element   but combination is a selection of elements it does no consider order of elements

Arrangements of two elements out of 3 elements

{1,2},{2,3},{2,1},{3,2},{1,3},{3,1}

By using combination if two elements taken at a time then combination

{1,2},{2,3},{1,3}

Simplify (4x^2+2)÷(2x^2-9x-5)​
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

4.1     Pull out like factors :

   4x2 + 2  =   2 • (2x2 + 1) 

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

 4.2    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(x) = 2x2 + 1

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  x  for which   F(x)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  x  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  2  and the Trailing Constant is  1.

 The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1,2

 of the Trailing Constant :  1

 Let us test ....

  P  Q  P/Q  F(P/Q)   Divisor     -1     1      -1.00      3.00        -1     2      -0.50      1.50        1     1      1.00      3.00        1     2      0.50      1.50   

Polynomial Roots Calculator found no rational roots

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 4.3     Factoring  2x2 - 9x - 5 

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .

The middle term is,  -9x  its coefficient is  -9 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -5 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -5 = -10 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -10  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -9 .

     -10   +   1   =   -9   That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -10  and  1 

                     2x2 - 10x + 1x - 5

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                    2x • (x-5)

              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                     1 • (x-5)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                    (2x+1)  •  (x-5)

             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

2 • (2x2 + 1) —————————————————— (x - 5) • (2x + 1)
