One x-intercept for a parabola is at the point

Mathematics

Fudgin [204]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

(2,0) was already given so (-1,0) is the other one.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are asked to use the quadratic formula.

To find the x-intercepts (if they exist) is use:

\text{ If } y=ax^2+bx+c \text{ then the } x-\text{intercepts are } (\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a},0).

Let's start:

Compare the following equations to determine the values for a,b, \text{ and }c:

y=ax^2+bx+c

y=4x^2-4x-8

So

a=4

b=-4

c=-8

We are now ready to enter into our formula:

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(4)(-8)}}{2(4)}

x=\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16+16(8)}}{8}

x=\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16(1+8)}}{8}

x=\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16}\sqrt{1+8}}{8}

x=\frac{4 \pm 4\sqrt{9}}{8}

x=\frac{ 4 \pm 4(3)}{8}

x=\frac{4 \pm 12}{8}

x=\frac{4(1\pm 3)}{8}

x=\frac{1(1\pm 3)}{2}

x=\frac{1 \pm 3}{2}

x=\frac{1+3}{2} \text{ or } \frac{1-3}{2}

x=\frac{4}{2} \text{ or } \frac{-2}{2}

x=2 \text{ or } -1

So the x-intercepts are (2,0) and (-1,0).

(2,0) was already given so (-1,0) is the other one.

What is the area of the parallelogram?
vichka [17]
Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply.

How many commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters? We want 95% confidence that
zimovet [89]

Answer:

61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.                

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be 12 minutes.

To find : How many commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters?

Solution :

At 95% confidence the z-value is z=1.96

The sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean i.e. margin of error is E=3 minutes

The population standard deviation is s=12 minutes

n is the number of sample

The formula of margin of error is given by,

E=\frac{s\times z}{\sqrt{n}}

Substitute the value in the formula,

3=\frac{12\times 1.96}{\sqrt{n}}

3=\frac{23.52}{\sqrt{n}}

\sqrt{n}=\frac{23.52}{3}

\sqrt{n}=7.84

Squaring both side,

n=61.4656

Therefore, 61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.
