The first three steps of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x2 +4x-6=0

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move the 6 to the other side: x^2 +4x =6

2. Square half the coefficient of the x term: (4/2)^2 = 4

3. Add this 4, and then subtract this 4, from x^2 + 4x:

x^2 +4x + 4 - 4 =6

4. Rewrite this perfect square as the square of a binomial:

(x + 2)^2 - 4 = 6

5. Add 4 to both sides: (x + 2)^2 = 10

6. Find the sqrt of both sides: x + 2 = √

Find exact values for sin θ, cos θ and tan θ if csc θ = 3/2 and cos θ < 0.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Part 1) $sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

Par 2) $cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

Part 3) $tan(\theta)=-\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the $sin(\theta)$

we have

$csc(\theta)=\frac{3}{2}$

Remember that

$csc(\theta)=\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$

therefore

$sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

step 2

Find the $cos(\theta)$

we know that

$sin^{2}(\theta) +cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

substitute

$(\frac{2}{3})^{2} +cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

$\frac{4}{9} +cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

$cos^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{4}{9}$

$cos^{2}(\theta)=\frac{5}{9}$

square root both sides

$cos(\theta)=\pm\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

we have that

$cos(\theta) < 0$ ---> given problem

so

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

step 3

Find the $tan(\theta)$

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}$

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{2}{3}:-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$

Simplify

$tan(\theta)=-\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

For a certain river, suppose the drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

a) There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

b)There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution is the number of failures expected before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials.

It has the following probability density formula:

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

In which p is the probability of a success.

The mean of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p}$

The standard deviation of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.383$

So

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p} = \frac{1-0.383}{0.383} = 1.61$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1-0.383}{(0.383)^{2}}} = 2.05$

(a) What is the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals?

This is $f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(3) = (1-0.383)^{3}*(0.383)$

$f(3) = 0.09$

There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

At most 3 intervals?

This is $P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(0) = (1-0.383)^{0}*(0.383) = 0.383$

$f(1) = (1-0.383)^{1}*(0.383) = 0.236$

$f(2) = (1-0.383)^{2}*(0.383) = 0.146$

Previously in this exercise, we found that $f(3) = 0.09$

So

$P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) = 0.383 + 0.236 + 0.146 + 0.09 = 0.855$

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

(b) What is the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation?

This is $P(X \geq \mu+\sigma) = P(X \geq 1.61 + 2.05) = P(X \geq 3.66) = P(X \geq 4)$ .

We are working with discrete data, so 3.66 is rounded up to 4.

Either a drought lasts at least four months, or it lasts at most thee. In a), we found that the probability that it lasts at most 3 months is 0.855. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. So:

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$0.855 + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$P(X \geq 4) = 0.145$

There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

HELP AND EXPLAIN PLSS

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Amount they ate is 6/8 or 3/4 of the pizza

Amount left over is 2/8 or 1/4 of the pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

your family at 6 out of 8 pieces and simplified thats 3/4 if you divide both by 2

so the pieces left over would be 2 pieces or 2 out of the 8 pieces are left over.

making your fraction 2/8

Now you simplify and you can divided both 2 and 8 by 2

Making your other fraction 1/4
