The general form of a polynomial is: x² + bx + c = 0. Substituting the roots,

3² + b(3) + c = 0
3b + c = -9 --> eqn 1

(5 + √5)² + (5 +√5)(b) + c = 0
(5+√5)b + c = -30-10√5 --> eqn 2

Solving both equations simultaneously by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1,
(-2 - √5)b = 21 + 10√5
b = -8 - √5

Using eqn 1,
3(-8 - √5) + c = -9
-24 - 3√5 + c = -9
c = -9 + 24 + 3√5
c = 15 + 3√5

Hence, the polynomial is: <em>f(x) = x² + (-8 - √5)x + (15 + 3√5)</em>.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

2.62

Step-by-step explanation:

log_{b} \frac{b^{2}x^{\frac{5}{2} }}{\sqrt{y}}

First, write the square root as exponent.

log_{b} \frac{b^{2}x^{\frac{5}{2} }}{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Move the denominator to the numerator and negate the exponent.

log_{b}(b^{2}x^{\frac{5}{2}}y^{-\frac{1}{2}})

Use log product property.

log_{b}(b^{2}) + log_{b}(x^{\frac{5}{2}}) + log_{b}(y^{-\frac{1}{2}})

Use log exponent property.

2 log_{b}(b) + {\frac{5}{2}}log_{b}(x) - {\frac{1}{2}}log_{b}(y)

Substitute values.

2(1) + \frac{5}{2}(0.36) - \frac{1}{2}(0.56) \\2.62

Tanzania [10]
The score of 96 is 2 standard deviations above the mean score. Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, the probability of a score above 96 is 0.0235.
Therefore the number of students scoring above 96 is given by:
230\times 0.0235=5\ students

How many ways can a person toss a coin 13 times so that the number of heads is between 7 and 10 inclusive?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

4004

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of combinations of choosing r objects from a group of n is nCr.

So the number of ways to get 7, 8, 9, or 10 heads from 13 coin tosses is:

₁₃C₇ + ₁₃C₈ + ₁₃C₉ + ₁₃C₁₀

= 1716 + 1287 + 715 + 286

= 4004
