Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): -2x^2 + 5x - 10 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x - 13 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                                      x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                                      x = [ -5 ± √((5)^2 - 4(-2)(-13)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(25 - (104) ) ] / ( -4 )
                                      x = [-5 ± √(-79) ] / ( -4)
Since √-79 is nonreal, the answer to this question is that there are no real solutions.

What is the radius and diameter of the following circle?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Radius = 16cm

Diameter = 32cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Radius of a circle is half the diameter of the circle. The radius is how far the outside of the circle is from the middle of the circle. To find the Diameter add the radius twice, for example 16+16. Don’t forget your UNIT it is in Centimeters in this case.

Data consistent with summary quantities in the article "Effects of Fast-Food Consumption on Energy Intake and Diet Quality Among
Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) X[bar]₁=  1839.20 cal

b) X[bar]₂= 1779.07 cal

c) S₁= 386.35 cal

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have two independent samples,

Sample 1: n₁= 15 children that did not eat fast food.

Sample 2: n₂= 15 children that ate fast food.

The study variables are:

X₁: Calorie consumption of a kid that does not eat fast food in one day.

X₂: Calorie consumprion of a kid that eats fast food in one day.

a)

The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean

X[bar]₁= (∑X₁/n₁) = (27588/15)= 1839.20 cal

b)

X[bar]₂= (∑X₂/n₂)= (26686/15)= 1779.07 cal

c)

To calculate the sample standard deiation, you have to calculate the sample variance first:

S₁²= \frac{1}{n_1-1}[∑X₁² - (( ∑X₁)²/n₁)]= \frac{1}{14} + [52829538 - (\frac{27588^{2} }{15}) = 149263.4571 cal²

S₁= 386.35 cal

I hope it helps!
