The quadratic equation 2x^2 + bx + 18 = 0 has a double root. Find all possible values of b.

When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here 
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and 
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0 
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= ± sqrt(144)= ± 12

So in order that the given equation has double roots,  the possible values of b are ± 12.

Question 5
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

A. Similar using SAS; ∆ABC ~ ∆DFE

Step-by-step explanation:

m<B of ∆ABC = m<F of ∆DFE

AB corresponds to DF

AB/DF = 12/8 = 3/2

BC corresponds to FE

BC/FE = 24/16 = 3/2

Thus, the ratio of the corresponding sides of both triangles are the same. Therefore, both triangles has two sides that are proportional to each other, and also had an included corresponding angles that are congruent to each other.

By the SAS criterion, we can conclude that both triangles are similar to each other. That is, ∆ABC ~ ∆DFE

The probability that an egg on a production line is cracked is 0.01. Two eggs are selected at random from the production line. F
musickatia [10]

Answer:

P(X \geq 1)=1-P(X

P(X=0)=(2C0)(0.01)^0 (1-0.01)^{2-0}=0.9801

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.9801 = 0.0199

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of craked eggs", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=2, p=0.01)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

And we want to find this probability:

P(x \geq 1)=1-P(X

And we can find the probability:

P(X=0)=(2C0)(0.01)^0 (1-0.01)^{2-0}=0.9801

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.9801 = 0.0199
