Find the exact roots of x^2+10x-8=0 by completing the square

1 answer:

5 0

From the original equation x^2+10x-8=0, move the loose number on the other side. Your new equation will be x^2+10x=8. Moving an element from one side to another reverses its sign. From -8 to +8. Then take half of the x-term and square it and add it on both sides. X-term is 10x and 10 is the number, half of it is 5 then square of 5 is 25. Add 25 on both side. Your new equation will be x^2+10x+25=8+25. Then complete the square form of the left side of the equation, (x+5)^2=33. Square root both side then you will get x+5=squareroot of 33. Your x = -5 plus/minus squareroot of 33.

Is (-5,-5) a soulution of y is greater then or equal to y>-2x+4

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (- 5, - 5) is a solution

Substitute x = - 5 into the inequality and compare answer to y

- 2(- 5) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14 > - 5 ← the y- coordinate

Thus (- 5, - 5) is not a solution to the inequality

In a random sample of 5 residents of the state of Texas, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 1.9 pounds with a standa

sammy [17]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2><h2 />

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x} \pm\ t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : n= 5, since n<30 , so the test we use here is t-test.

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=1.9\text{ pounds}$

Standard deviation: $\sigma=0.89\text{ pounds}$

Significance level : $1-\alpha:1-0.99=0.01$

By using the standard normal distribution table , the critical value corresponds to the given significance level will be :-

$t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{5-1,0.01/2}=t_{4,0.005}=4.604$

Now, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas will be :-

$1.9\pm\ (4.604)\dfrac{0.89}{\sqrt{5}}\\\\\approx1.9\pm1.832\\\\=(1.9-1.832,1.9+1.832)=(0.068,\ 3.732)$

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas = (0.068, 3.732)

Explain the meaning of F(30) = 8,950 in this situation

dexar [7]

Answer:

when you have something like f(x)=... that means

f means function

and every time you see an x or the variable in the parenthesis you plug in for that so it's f(x) =3x+1 then f(2)= 3x+1 every time you see x you plug in 2
