For this case we must find the solutions of the following quadratic equation:

2x ^ 2-2x-9 = 0

The roots will come from:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

Where:

a = 2\\b = -2\\c = -9

Substituting:

x = \frac {- (- 2) \pm \sqrt {(- 2) ^ 2-4 (2) (- 9)}} {2 (2)}\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {4 + 72}} {2 (2)}\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {76}} {4}\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 19}} {4}\\x = \frac {2 \pm2 \sqrt {19}} {4}

The roots are:

x_ {1} = \frac {2 + 2 \sqrt {19}} {4} = \frac {1+ \sqrt {19}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-2 \sqrt {19}} {4} = \frac {1- \sqrt {19}} {2}

Option C

Answer: Option C

The solutions of the quadratic equation are:

x = \frac{1\±\sqrt{19}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the quadratic formula to solve this equation.

For a quadratic function of the form ax^2 +bx +c=0 the quadratic formula is:

x = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case:

a=2\\b=-2\\c=-9

So

x = \frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(2)(-9)}}{2(2)}

x = \frac{1\±\sqrt{19}}{2}

Which represents a quadratic function? f(x) = −8x3 − 16x2 − 4x f (x) = x 2 + 2x − 5 f(x) = + 1 f(x) = 0x2 − 9x + 7
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The answer is f(x)=x^2+2x-5
A quadratic formula must have at least one square (x^2) and cannot have higher exponents.
The reason 0x^2 doesn't count is because that will always equal zero no matter the value of x, which makes that term a constant.

Steroids, which are dangerous, are sometimes used to improve athletic performance. A study by the National Athletic Trainers Ass
Yanka [14]

Answer:

At 95% confidence level, the difference between the proportion of freshmen using steroids in Illinois and the proportion of seniors using steroids in Illinois is -7.01135×10⁻³ < \hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2 < 1.237

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are required to construct the 95% confidence interval of the difference between two proportions

The formula for the confidence interval of the difference between two proportions is as follows;

\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2\pm z^{*}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}_1\left (1-\hat{p}_1  \right )}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat{p}_2\left (1-\hat{p}_2  \right )}{n_{2}}}

Where:

\hat{p}_1  = \frac{34}{1679}

\hat{p}_2 = \frac{24}{1366}

n₁ = 1679

n₂ = 1366

z_{\alpha /2} at 95% confidence level = 1.96

Plugging in the values, we have;

\frac{34}{1679}- \frac{24}{1366} \pm 1.96 \times \sqrt{\frac{ \frac{34}{1679}\left (1- \frac{34}{1679}\right )}{1679}+\frac{\frac{24}{1366} \left (1-\frac{24}{1366}   \right )}{1366}}

Which gives;

-7.01135×10⁻³ < \hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2 < 1.237.

At 95% confidence level, the difference between the proportion of freshmen using steroids in Illinois and the proportion of seniors using steroids in Illinois = -7.01135×10⁻³ < \hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2 < 1.237.
