Answer:
a = 1/2 (1 ±sqrt(47))
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2-a+12=0
We will complete the square
Subtract 12 from each side
a^2-a+12-12=0-12
a^2-a=-12
The coefficient of a = -1
-Divide by 2 and then square it
(-1/2) ^2 = 1/4
Add it to each side
a^2 -a +1/4=-12 +1/4
(a-1/2)^2 = -11 3/4
(a-1/2)^2= -47/4
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((a-1/2)^2) =sqrt(-47/4)
a-1/2 = ±i sqrt(1/4) sqrt(47)
a-1/2= ±i/2 sqrt(47)
Add 1/2 to each side
a-1/2+1/2 = 1/2± i/2 sqrt(47)
a = 1/2± i/2 sqrt(47)
a = 1/2 (1 ±sqrt(47))
Answer:
D. There is a nonlinear relationship between the speed and fuel efficiency.
Step-by-step explanation:
A desirable residual plot should show a horizontal band with points randomly distributed about the horizontal axis.
Leonard's plot is definitely nonlinear.
The residuals show a good fit to a parabola.
This suggests that the relation between speed and fuel efficiency may be parabolic.
Answer:
An isohyet is a line on a map which connects points that have the same amounts of precipitation in a given period or for a particular storm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Your welcome for the help
f(x) = (x + 5)(x - 1)
using the ' factor theorem '
given x = a is the root of a polynomial then (x - a ) is a factor
here roots are x = - 5 and x = 1 hence factors are (x + 5) and (x - 1)
the polynomial is the product of the factors
f(x) = (x + 5)(x - 1)
