The zeros of a function are when y = 0, so set the right side of the equation equal to 0. Then factor; the right side becomes (3x-2)(3x+4). Set both of those parentheses equal to zero to find the zeros, or roots, of the equation.
x = 2/3, x = -4/3

3. Using techniques from Calculus, show directly that the maximum value of a 1-D Gaussian distribution occurs at the point x = μ

Vilka [71]

Answer:

For a scaler variable, the Gaussian distribution has a probability density function of

p(x |µ, σ² ) = N(x; µ, σ² ) = 1 / 2π× $e^{\frac{-(x-u)^{2}}{2s^{2} } }$

The term will have a maximum value at the top of the slope of the 1-D Gaussian distribution curve that is when exp(0) =1 or when x = µ

Step-by-step explanation:

Gaussian distributions have similar shape, with the mean controlling the location and the variance controls the dispersion

From the graph of the probability distribution function it is seen that the the peak is the point at which the slope = 0, where µ = 0 and σ² = 1 then solution for the peak = exponential function = 0 or x = µ

What is the charge on an object that has 1. 25 * 10 ^-17.

Aliun [14]

Answer: To determine the charge on an object, determine the number of excess protons or excess electrons. Multiply the excess by the charge of an electron or the charge of a proton - 1.6 x 10-19 C.

Work out the total surface area of this hemisphere which has a radius of 8cm.

Masja [62]

$\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\ SA=4\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \cline{1-1} r=8 \end{cases}\implies SA=4\pi (8)^2\implies SA=256\pi \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{half of that for a \underline{hemi}sphere}}{\cfrac{256\pi }{2}\implies 128\pi \implies }\stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{402.1}$
