f(x)=\quad 2{ x }^{ 2 }+3x+5

Let's called the input 'z'

When we plug 'z' in the function we get ;

f(z)=\quad 2{ z }^{ 2 }+3z+5

And we know that, this is equal to 19, so ;

2{ z }^{ 2 }+3z+5=\quad 19

Let's rearrange the equation.

2{ z }^{ 2 }+3z+5=\quad 19\\ \\ 2{ z }^{ 2 }+3z=\quad 19-5\\ \\ 2{ z }^{ 2 }+3z=\quad 14\\ \\ 2{ z }^{ 2 }+3z-14=\quad 0

So we have a quadratic equation here.

We'll use this formula to solve it :

\frac { -b\pm \sqrt { { b }^{ 2 }-4ac }  }{ 2a }

The formula is used in equation formed like this :

a{ x }^{ 2 }+bx+c=0

In our equation,

a=2 , b=3 and c=-14

Let's plug in the values in the formula to solve,

a=2\quad b=3\quad c=-14\\ \\ \frac { -3\pm \sqrt { 9-(4\cdot 2\cdot -14) }  }{ 4 } \\ \\ \frac { -3\pm \sqrt { 9-(-112) }  }{ 4 } \\ \\ \frac { -3\pm \sqrt { 9+112 }  }{ 4 } \\ \\ \frac { -3\pm \sqrt { 121 }  }{ 4 } \\ \\ \frac { -3\pm 11 }{ 4 }

So,

z=\quad \frac { -3+11 }{ 4 } \quad ,\quad \frac { -3-11 }{ 4 } \\ \\ z=\quad \frac { 8 }{ 4 } \quad ,\quad \frac { -14 }{ 4 } \\ \\ z=\quad 2,\quad -\frac { 7 }{ 2 }

So the input can be both, 2 and -\frac{7}{2}

4,284 passengers traveling by the intercity bus every day, the intercity bus operates 6 hours every day, find the number of pass
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

714

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets go over what we know.

The bus only goes for 6 hours each day.

So lets just think of a full day as 6 hours.

Each day(6 hours), 4284 passangers ride the bus.

To find passangers per hour, we must divide the total passangers by the total hours.

This is 4284(total passangers) divided by 6(total hours):

4284/6

=

714

So each hour, there are 714 passangers.

Hope this helps!

Simplify the quotient (4.5 x 10^3)/(9 x 10^7 ). Write your answer in scientific notation. Show your work.
marishachu [46]
To answer the problem above, divide the numerical portion and the exponential portion of the given numbers. 4.5 divided by 9 is 0.5. Furthermore, 10^3 divided by 10^7 is 10^-4. The answer is 
                    
                                            0.5 x 10^-4

This may still be written in a standard form,
 
                                               5 x 10^-5

Thus, the answer is <em>5 x 10^-5</em>.
