Y squared + 5y - 84 equals what

Mathematics
1 answer:
iragen [17]3 years ago
7 0

The two possibilities for y are y = -12 and y = 7.

In order to solve this, we first just factor the equation. In order to factor a quadratic like this, we look for factors of the last number (-84) that add up to the middle number (5). In order to find that, we just need to list the factors.

1 * -84

-1 * 84

2 * -42

-2 * 42

3 * -28

-3 * 28

4 * -21

-4 * 21

7 * -12

- 7 * 12

This last factor is the one that adds to 5. Now we stick these two numbers along with y's into parenthesis.

(y - 7)(y + 12)

Now to solve, we can set each parenthesis equal to 0 to solve.

y - 7 = 0

y = 7

y + 12 = 0

y = -12

If (2i/2+i)-(3i/3+i)=a+bi, then b=
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

b = -1/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2i/2+i)-(3i/3+i)

= 2i(3 + i) - 3i(2 + i) / (2 + i)(3 + i)

= 6i + 2i^2 - 6i - 3i^2 / (2 + i)(3 + i)

=  (-2 + 3) / (6 + 5i - 1)

= 1 / (5 + 5i)

Now we multiply top and bottom by 5 - 5i :

= 5 - 5i / (5 + 5i)(5 - 5i)

=  5 - 5i / 25 -25i^2

= 5 - 5i / 50

= 1/10 - 1/10i

Given that X ~ N(120, 35). We survey samples of 25 and are interested in the distribution of X-bar. Find the z-score associated
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Option c -2.8571

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score are calculated as

z=\frac{xbar-mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }.

We are given that mean=120 and standard deviation=S.D=35 as X~N(120,35).

Sample size=n=25.

We have to find z-score for x-bar=100. So,

z-score=[100-120]/[35/√25]

z-score=[-20]/[35/5]

z-score=-20/7

z-score=-2.8571.

Thus,  the z-score associated with x-bar = 100 is -2.8571.

torisob [31]
If you would like to know the real length of the insect's wing, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1/20 of 4 cm = 1/20 * 4 = 4/20 = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The correct result would be 0.2 cm.
