Consider the quadratic equation x squared = 4x - 5. how many solutions does the equation have?

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The quadratic equation has two complex solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2}=4x-5$

Equate to cero

$x^{2}-4x+5=0$

so

$a=1\\b=-4\\c=5$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{-4^{2}-4(1)(5)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{16-20}} {2}$

$x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{-4}} {2}$

Remember that

$i^{2}=-1$

so

$x=\frac{4(+/-)2i} {2}$

$x=2(+/-)i$

therefore

The quadratic equation has two complex solutions

1. The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is 0.15.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

1c

$n = 33$

1d

$n = 19$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is $p = 0.15$

The mean is $\mu = 5$

Generally the distribution of sales call made by a telesales representative follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n* p$

=> $5= n * 0.15$

=> $n = 33$

Generally the least number of calls that need to be made by a representative for the probability of at least 1 sale to exceed 0.95 is mathematically represented as

$P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X < 1 ) > 0.95$

=> $P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X =0 ) > 0.95$

=> $P( X \ge 1) = 1 - [ ^{n}C_0 * (0.15 )^0 * (1- 0.15)^{n-0}] > 0.95$

=> $1 - [1 * 1* (0.85)^{n}] > 0.95$

=> $[(0.85)^{n}] > 0.05$

taking natural log of both sides

$n = \frac{ln(0.05)}{ln(0.85)}$

=> $n = 19$

A game stop membership cost $20 and includes one game A month for five dollars. Nonmembers can get one more game a month for sev

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)

C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of membership = $20

Price of a game per month = $5

So, the linear equation to compute the total cost for a member can be computed by:

C(x) = 5x + 20

where x is the number of games per month

On the other hand, non-members can get one more game per month for $7 which means they get 2 games for $7. The price for a single game is $7/2 = $3.5 a month.

The linear equation to compute the total cost for a non-member is:

C(x) = 3.5x

where x is the number of games per month.

The following system of equations can be used to decide whether to become a member or not, by substituting the number of games in place of x and finding out the total cost.

C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)

C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)
