No, a cubic equation can not have three complex roots. This is because it turns twice and one end goes to positive infinity and one end goes to negative infinity. Thus, one of these MUST cross the x-axis at some point, meaning y = 0 and a real root exists.
Yes, a cubic equation can have three real roots if it cuts the x-axis three times.
Answer:
12.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between (7,21) and (-5,18)
d =sqrt( (-5-7)^2 + (18-21)^2)
= sqrt(( -12)^2 + (-3)^2)
= sqrt(144+9)
= sqrt(153)
=12.36931688

Answer:
the probability that at least one envelope is a yellow envelope is 16/21
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that at least one envelope is a yellow envelope is P(Y);
P(Y) = 1 - P(Y)'
P(Y)' is the probability that no envelope is a yellow envelope.
Given;
red envelope = 1
blue envelopes = 3
green envelopes = 2
yellow envelopes = 3
Total = 9
Number of non-yellow envelope = 9 -3 = 6
(6 envelope are not yellow)
P(Y)' = P1 × P2 × P3
Since there is no replacement;
P(Y)' = 6/9 × 5/8 × 4/7
P(Y)' = 5/21
From equation 1;
P(Y) = 1 - 5/21
P(Y) = 16/21
the probability that at least one envelope is a yellow envelope is 16/21.
Answer:
- 8 small houses; 0 large houses
- 80 small houses; 0 large houses
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The maximum number of houses Sam can build in 24 hours is 8, so the constraint is in construction, not decoration. For each small house Sam constructs, he makes $10/3 = $3.33 per hour of work. For each large house Sam constructs, he makes $15/5 = $3.00 per hour. The most money is to be made by building only small houses.
Sam should make 8 small houses and 0 large houses in 24 hours.
__
b) If Sam works 8-hour days, then he can complete at most 80 small houses. The constraint remains in construction, so the answer is the same: build only small houses.
_____
If Sam works more than 16 2/3 hours per day, he can build 100 large houses or more, so the constraint moves to decoration. The decorator makes more money by decorating large houses, so all the effort should go to construction of large houses.
If Sam works between 10 and 16 2/3 hours per day, the best revenue will come from some mix. The problem statement is unclear as to how many hours Sam works in 30 days.
