What are the zeros of the function?

Mathematics
1 answer:
cluponka [151]3 years ago
7 0

The function is:

f ( x ) = x² - x - 72

This is a quatdratic function. So we can find the zeroes of the function with the formula:

x 1/2 = ( - b +/- √(b² - 4 ac) ) / ( 2a )

And we have: a = 1, b = - 1 and c = - 72

x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √((-1)² - 4 · 1· ( - 72 )) ) / 2

x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √( 1 + 288 ) ) / 2

x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- √289 ) / 2

x 1/2 = ( 1 +/- 17 ) / 2

x 1 = ( 1 - 17 ) 2 = - 16 / 2 = - 8

x 2 = ( 1 + 17 ) / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9

Answer: The zeroes are - 8 and 9.

How many atoms are in the given sample 214.1 g of Vanadium
lord [1]

Answer:

The atomic weight (or atomic mass) of Vanadium is 50.9415 which means that a "mole" of Vanadium atoms (6.02 x 10^23 atoms) will have a mass of 50.9415 grams.  So, 214.1 grams of Vanadium would have

(214.1 / 50.9415) * (6.02 x 10^23) = 2.530 x 10^24 atoms

Can you help me with these questions<br>​
dlinn [17]

Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

41. √20 = √4 * 5 = √4 * √5 = 2√5

43. The sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore, x = 180 - (75 + 64) = 41°.

45. 15 + 5(2x - 3) = 15 + 5(2x) + 5(-3) = 15 + 10x - 15 = 10x

47. Complementary angles have a sum of 90°, therefore, x = 90 - 48 = 42°.
