Take x-2=0

x=2

put the value of x in the equation

2^2 + 3(2) + k =0
4+6+k=0
10+k=0
k= -10

Answer:

$\text{Null hypothesis}: H_0:\mu=90\\\\\text{Alternative Hypothesis}:\mu\neq 90$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given claim : From the time shoots are planted 90 days on average are required to obtain the first berry.

. The sample mean is 92.3 days. The corporation wants to know if the mean number of days is different from the 90 days claimed.

As we know that the null hypotheses shows there is no statistical difference between the groups but the alternative hypothesis is opposite to it, it shows there is difference.

Thus , the correct hypotheses will be :-

$\text{Null hypothesis}: H_0:\mu=90\\\\\text{Alternative Hypothesis}:\mu\neq 90$

Which of the following is the minimum value of the equation y = 2x2 + 5?

raketka [301]

(0, 5) is the minimum value.

Find the axis of symmetry by plugging the respective variables into -b/2a

-5/2(0) = 0

There is no b-value in our equation, or rather, the value of b is 0. To see this, y = 2x^2 + 5 can be written as

y = 2x^2 + 0x + 5

We plug 0 into f(x), establishing every x-value as 0.

f(0) = 2(0)^2 + 5
f(0) = 0 + 5
f(0) = 5

5 is now your vertex’s y-value. Plot the two values together.

(0, 5)

We know that this is a minimum because the leading coefficient is positive, meaning the the graph’s parabola will open down.

Solve for x round to the nearest tenth.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

x ≈ 15.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 6² = 17²

x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{253}$ ≈ 15.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
