Question 1- explain how Sheldon immediately knew howard was incorrect?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Part 1) In the procedure

Part 2) In the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Observing the graph

The roots are x=-1/2 and x=4

Remember that, the roots are the x-values when the value of y is equal to zero (the x-intercepts)

That's why Sheldon immediately realizes Howard's solution is incorrect

Part 2) we have

y=2x^{2}-7x-4

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

equate the equation to zero

2x^{2}-7x-4=0  

so

a=2\\b=-7\\c=-4

substitute

x=\frac{-(-7)(+/-)\sqrt{-7^{2}-4(2)(-4)}} {2(2)}

x=\frac{7(+/-)\sqrt{49+32}} {4}

Howard's error is in this step, is wrong with the sign of the number 7, is positive instead of negative

x=\frac{7(+/-)\sqrt{81}}{4}

x=\frac{7(+/-)9}{4}

x=\frac{7(+)9}{4}=4

x=\frac{7(-)9}{4}=-1/2

3(x-6)^4+11=15 solve for x
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

x = 7.07 or 4.925

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-6)^4+11=15

3(x-6)^4=15-11

(x-6)^4=4/3

x-6 = +\sqrt[4]{4/3} or -\sqrt[4]{4/3}

x= +\sqrt[4]{4/3} +6 or -\sqrt[4]{4/3}  +6

x = 7.07 or 4.925

George cut a cake into eight pieces. Explain what the unit fraction of the cake is.​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

1/8th

Step-by-step explanation: A unit fraction is a rational number written as a fraction where the numerator is one and the denominator is a positive integer. A unit fraction is therefore the reciprocal of a positive integer, 1/n. Examples are 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 ,1/5, etc. so in this case the cake is eight slices so 1/8

70% of a number is 98.
Anni [7]
Set up the proportion:
70% - 98
90% - x

\frac{70\%}{90\%}=\frac{98}{x} \\
\frac{7}{9}=\frac{98}{x} \\
\frac{7}{9}x=98 \\
x=98 \times \frac{9}{7} \\
x=14 \times 9 \\
x=126

The answer is D. 126.
