Answer:

a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: |a| = 80, |b| = 50, the angle between a and b is 3π/4.

We need to find the dot product  a · b.

The formula of dot product is

a\cdot b=|a||b|\cos \theta

where, θ is the angle between a and b.

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

a\cdot b=(80)(50)\cos (\frac{3\pi}{4})

a\cdot b=4000\cos (\pi-\frac{\pi}{4})

a\cdot b=-4000\cos (\frac{\pi}{4})           [\because \cos (\pi-\theta)=-\cos \theta]

a\cdot b=-4000\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000}{\sqrt{2}}

Rationalize the above equation.

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}

a\cdot b=-\frac{4000\sqrt{2}}{2}

a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}

Therefore, the value of a · b is a\cdot b=-2000\sqrt{2}.

Answer:

The mean number of cookies was 33.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the values of the terms and divide by the number of terms.

So...

26 + 38 + 45 + 25 = 134

134 ÷ 4 = 33.5

Find the discriminant of the following equation:
vladimir1956 [14]

Option 1

The discriminant of given equation is 116

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

We have to find the discriminant of given equation

<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

f(x) = 4x^2+6x-5

To find discriminant,

4x^2+6x-5 = 0

\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0

<em><u>Discriminant is given by:</u></em>

D = b^2-4ac

On comparing the given quadratic equation 4x^2+6x-5 = 0 with general quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c = 0

a = 4

b = 6

c = -5

<em><u>Substituting in above formula,</u></em>

D = 6^2-4(4)(-5)\\\\D = 36-16(-5)\\\\D = 36+80\\\\D = 116

Thus discriminant of given equation is 116
