Solve the quadratic equation by factoring: 15x^2+4x-4=0

joja [24]3 years ago

We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).

15*-4 = -60

Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.

-6 and 10 will work.

Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.

(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)

Now factor both terms.

5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)

3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.

(3x+2)(5x-2)=0

Now just find the zeros.

3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3

And

5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5

So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5

The auto parts department of an automotive dealership sends out a mean of 4.34.3 special orders daily. What is the probability t

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Mean = 4.3$

$x = 5$

Required

Determine the probability that the order is 5

This question can be answered using Poisson distribution.

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

Where

$\alpha$ is used to represent the mean

and

$\alpha = 4.3$

$x = 5$

<em /> $e = 2.71828$ <em> ---- Euler's constant</em>

So, we have:

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5* 4 * 3 * 2 *1}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{1470.08443 * 0.01356859825}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{19.9469850243}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = 0.1662248752$

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$ <em>Approximated</em>

Simplify 6/6^1/4 rational exponents

White raven [17]

Answer:

we conclude that:

$\frac{6}{6^{\frac{1}{4}}}=6^{\frac{3}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The expression is

$\frac{6}{6^{\frac{1}{4}}}$

To determine

Simplify the expression

Simplifying the expression

$\frac{6}{6^{\frac{1}{4}}}$

Apply the exponent rule: $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$\frac{6}{6^{\frac{1}{4}}}=6^{1-\frac{1}{4}}$

Subtract the numbers: $1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

$=6^{\frac{3}{4}}$

Therefore, we conclude that:

$\frac{6}{6^{\frac{1}{4}}}=6^{\frac{3}{4}}$
