We have been given the equation

$y=-5.131x^2+31.821x-3.333$

It represents the number of people standing to catch a commuter train x hours after 5 A.M.

Now, in order to find the number of people in line at 7 a.m. , we need to substitute x= 2 in the above equation.

$y(2)=-5.131(2)^2+31.821(2x)-3.333\\y(2)= 39.785 \approx 40$

Therefore, the number of people in the line at 7 a.m. is 40

D id the correct option.

Solve the quadratic equation: 3x^2+x-5=0

adell [148]

3x²+x-5=0

a = 3, b = 1, c= -5

-> ∆ ( delta ) = b²-4ac = 61 > 0

-> x1 =( -b+√∆ )÷ 2a =...

x2 = (-b-√∆)÷2a =...

p/s: do your teachers teach you how to use ∆ ( delta ) in maths calculation ? i live in europe and our teachers teach us that way. however, it is a rịght and fast way. you should learn it.

Answer:

infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the linear equation in two variables be ax+by+c=0

Put values

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1a+3b+c=0$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto a+3b+c$

Hence for any values it has infinite number of solutions .

including x=1 and y=3

The estimated velocity v (in miles per hour) of a car at the end of a drag race is v=234 3√p/w (cube root) , where p is the hors

faltersainse [42]

Given that v=234 3√p/w (cube root)
where 
p is the horsepower of the car and
w is the weight (in pounds) of the car
v is the velocity in miles per hour

p = 1311 hp
w = 2744 lb
substitute the given value to the equation to solve for the velocity

v = 234 3√(1311 / 2744)
v = 183 miles per hour is the velocity of a car at the end of a drag race.

What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The maximum number of turning points in a cubic function is 2.

In this case,

$f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2\implies f'(x)=9x^2-2x+4$

The discriminant is $(-2)^2-4(9)(4)=-140$ , which means the derivative has no real roots. This means there are no critical points and thus no turning points/relative extrema.
