The function is:
f ( x ) = x² - x - 72
This is a quatdratic function. So we can find the zeroes of the function with the formula:
x 1/2 = ( - b +/- √(b² - 4 ac) ) / ( 2a )
And we have: a = 1, b = - 1 and c = - 72
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √((-1)² - 4 · 1· ( - 72 )) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √( 1 + 288 ) ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √289 ) / 2
x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- 17 ) / 2
x 1 = ( 1 - 17 ) 2 = - 16 / 2 = - 8
x 2 = ( 1 + 17 ) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9
Answer: The zeroes are - 8 and 9.
Answer:
y=3/10x+0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-10y=-6
-3x -3x
-10y=-3x-6
Divide -10 from everything.
y=3/10x+0.6

<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
The function f(x) is given by:

and the function g(x) is given by:

Now, we are asked to find the solution of the equation:

i.e. we have to find the value of x such that both the functions are equal i.e.

Now, on solving the equation using the quadratic formula i.e. the solution of the equation:

is given by:

Here we have:

Hence, the solution is given by:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Denote the event of commercially availability of f_uel cell technology as F_, commercial availability of solar power technology as S
Write the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources in the next 10 years
P(energy supplied) = P(S ∪ F) -----(1)
Rewrite eqn (1)
P(energy supplied) = P(S) + P(F) - P(F) P(S) ----(2)
substitute 0.85 for P(S) and 0,7 for P(F) in eqn (2) to find the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources
P(energy supplied) = 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.7 * 0.85)
= 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.595)
= 1.55 - 0.595
= 0.955
Therefore, the probability that there will be energy supplied by these two alternative sources in the next 10 years is 0.955
B) write the probability of only one source of energy available
P(only one source of energy available) =
∪
---(3)
Rewrite the equation (3)
P(only one source of energy available) =
![=P(\bar F S)+P(\bar S F)\\\\=\{[1-P(F)]P(S)+[1-P(S)]P(F)\}---(4)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3DP%28%5Cbar%20F%20S%29%2BP%28%5Cbar%20S%20F%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5C%7B%5B1-P%28F%29%5DP%28S%29%2B%5B1-P%28S%29%5DP%28F%29%5C%7D---%284%29)
![=\{[1-0.7]0.85+[1-0.85]0.7\}\\\\=0.255+0.105\\\\=0.36](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5C%7B%5B1-0.7%5D0.85%2B%5B1-0.85%5D0.7%5C%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.255%2B0.105%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.36)
Therefore,The probability that only one of the two alternative energy sources will be commercially viable in the next 10 years is 0.36
