<u>Answer:</u>

x = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{\sqrt{10} }{3} , x = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{10} }{3}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Multiplying the coefficient of x by the constant to get:

3 x (-2) = -6

Find factors of -6 that equal the middle term -4.

Since, no such factors can be found so we can solve the equation by completing the square.

To complete the square, divide the equation by the coefficient of x^2 which is 3 to get:

x^{2} - \frac{4}{3} x - \frac{2}{3} = 0

x^{2} - \frac{4}{3} x = \frac{2}{3}

Now divide the coefficient of x by 2 and add the square of the result to both sides of the equation:

x^{2} - \frac{4}{3} x + (-\frac{2}{3} )^{2} = \frac{2}{3} +  (-\frac{2}{3} )^{2}

(x - \frac{2}{3} )^2 = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{9}

(x - \frac{2}{3} )^2 = \frac{4}{9}

\sqrt{(x - \frac{2}{3} )^2} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{9} }

x - \frac{2}{3} = \sqrt{\frac{10}{9} } , x - \frac{2}{3} = -\sqrt{\frac{10}{9} }

x = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{\sqrt{10} }{3} , x = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{10} }{3}

ANSWER

x=\frac{2-\sqrt{10}} {3}

or

x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}

We have

3x^2-4x-2=0

Since we cannot factor easily, we complete the square.

Adding 2 to both sides give,

3x^2-4x=2

Dividing through by 3 gives

x^2-\frac{4}{3}x= \frac{2}{3}

Adding (-\frac{2}{3})^2 to both sides gives

x^2-\frac{4}{3}x+(-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+(-\frac{2}{3})^2

The expression on the Left Hand side is a perfect square.

(x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}

\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{10}{9}

\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})=\pm \sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}

\Rightarrow (x)=\frac{2}{3} \pm {\frac{\sqrt{10}}{3}

Splitting the plus or minus sign gives

x=\frac{2- \sqrt{10}} {3}

or

x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}

An instructor asked her students how much time (to the nearest hour) they spent studying for the midterm. The data are displayed
BARSIC [14]

Based on the data displayed in the histogram, the percentage of students who study 2 or more hours for the midterm is 88%.

<h3>What percentage study 2 hours or more?</h3>

First, find the number of students studying:

= 3 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1

= 25

The number of students studying 2 or more hours for the exam are:

= 9 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1

= 22 students

The percentage studying for two hours or more is:

= 22 / 25

= 88%

An aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each airplane engine) depends on t
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Minimum unit cost = 5,858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function : C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

To find the minimum unit cost :

Take the derivative of C(x) with respect to x

dC/dx = 2x - 520

Set = 0

2x - 520

2x = 520

x = 260

To minimize unit cost, 260 engines must be produced

Hence, minimum unit cost will be :

C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

Put x = 260

C(260) = 260^2−520(260) + 73458

= 5,858
