Find the number of real number solutions for the equation.x2 − 2x + 9 = 0

1 answer:

4 0

Hi there!

We can use the discriminant of the quadratic formula to find the number of real solutions to this (or any other quadratic) equation.

The discriminant can be found by plugging in the data from the equation into the following formula:
$d = {b}^{2} - 4ac \\ with \: y \: = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

When we fill in the data from the question we get
$d = ( - 2) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 9 = 4 - 36 = - 32$

Since d < 0 the equation has zero real solutions.

A box of candy hearts contains 52 hearts, of which 19 are white, 10 are tan, 7 are pink, 3 are purple, 5 are yellow, 2 are orang

laiz [17]

Answer-

a. Probability that three of the candies are white = 0.29

b. Probability that three are white, 2 are tan, 1 is pink, 1 is yellow, and 2 are green = 0.006

Solution-

There are 19 white candies, out off which we have to choose 3.

The number of ways we can do the same process =

$\binom{19}{3} = \frac{19!}{3!16!} = 969$

As we have to draw total of 9 candies, after 3 white candies we left with 9-3 = 6, candies. And those 6 candies have to be selected from 52-19 = 33 candies, (as we are drawing candies other than white, so it is subtracted)

And this process can be done in,

$\binom{33}{6} = \frac{33!}{6!27!} =1107568$

So total number of selection = (969)×(1107568) = 1073233392

Drawing 9 candies out of 52 candies,

$\binom{52}{9} = \frac{52!}{9!43!} = 3679075400$

∴P(3 white candies) = $\frac{1073233392}{3679075400} =0.29$

Total number of ways of selecting 3 whites, 2 are tans, 1 is pink, 1 is yellow, and 2 are greens is,

$\binom{19}{3} \binom{10}{2} \binom{7}{1} \binom{5}{1} \binom{6}{2}$

$=(\frac{19!}{3!16!}) (\frac{10!}{2!8!}) (\frac{7!}{1!6}) (\frac{5!}{1!4!}) (\frac{6!}{2!4!})$

$=(969)(45)(7)(5)(15)=22892625$

Total number of selection = 3 whites + 2 are tans + 1 is pink + 1 is yellow + 2 greens = 9 candies out of 52 candies is,

$\binom{52}{9}=\frac{52!}{9!43!} =3679075400$

∴ P( 3 whites, 2 are tans, 1 is pink, 1 is yellow, 2 greens) =

$\frac{22892625}{3679075400} = 0.006$

The locus of points idea allows you to define a circle without giving a numerical value for the radius?

Lunna [17]

The answer would be yes, the locus of points idea allows you to define a circle without giving a numerical value for the radius.

A locus of points is the set of points, and only those points, that satisfies given conditions. The locus of points at a given distance from a given point is a circle whose center is the given point and whose radius is the given distance.
