Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

3 x^2 + x - 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

x^2 + x/3 - 2/3 = 0

Add 2/3 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 = 2/3

Add 1/36 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 + 1/36 = 25/36

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 1/6)^2 = 25/36

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 1/6 = 5/6 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

x = 2/3 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

Answer:  x = 2/3 or x = -1

Determine whether the rule represents an exponential function. Explain why or why not.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Parent Function: f(x)= a(b^{x})

If we write out the equation:

y = 6(5)^{x}

Whenever we have an exponent of <em>x</em>, it is a exponential function. The 5 is simply the base of the exponent and the 6 means we are vertically stretching the graph by a factor of 6.

Find the range and interquartile range for the data represented by the box plot.
Anarel [89]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the data are represented by the box plot.

We need to determine the range and interquartile range.

<u>Range:</u>

The range of the data is the difference between the highest and the lowest value in the given set of data.

From the box plot, the highest value is 30 and the lowest value is 15.

Thus, the range of the data is given by

Range = Highest value - Lowest value

Range = 30 - 15 = 15

Thus, the range of the data is 15.

<u>Interquartile range:</u>

The interquartile range is the difference between the ends of the box in the box plot.

Thus, the interquartile range is given by

Interquartile range = 27 - 18 = 9

Thus, the interquartile range is 9.
