Substitute the x with 5
-(5)2 + 4(5) - 10 = 0
I think it’s C because I did have this question but I’m not sure
The confidence interval for the mean usage of water is (18.7,20.5).
Given population standard deviation of 2.4, mean of 19.5 gallons per day and confidence interval of 98%.
We have to find the confidence interval for the mean usage of water.
To find out the confidence interval we have to first find margin of error.
μ=19.5
σ=2.4
α=0.98
α/2=0.49
We have to find the z value for the p value 0.49 which is z=2.33
Margin of error=z*μ/
=2.33*19.5/
=0.82
lower level=mean -m
=19.5-0.82
=18.68
after rounding upto 1 decimal
=18.7
upper mean = mean+m
=19.5+0.82
=20.52
Hence the confidence interval for the usage of water is (18.7,20.52).

<h3>Answer:</h3>
±12 (two answers)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Suppose one root is <em>a</em>. Then the other root will be -3<em>a</em>. The product of the two roots is the ratio of the constant coefficient to the leading coefficient:
(<em>a</em>)(-3<em>a</em>) = -27/4
<em>a</em>² = -27/(4·(-3)) = 9/4
<em>a</em> = ±√(9/4) = ±3/2
Then the other root is
-3<em>a</em> = -3(±3/2) = ±9/2 . . . . . . the roots will have opposite signs
We know the opposite of the sum of these roots will be the ratio of the linear term coefficient to the leading coefficient: b/4, so ...
-(a + (-3a)) = b/4
2a = b/4
b = 8a = 8·(±3/2)
b = ±12
_____
<em>Check</em>
For b = 12, the equation factors as ...
4x² +12x -27 = (2x -3)(2x +9) = 0
It has roots -9/2 and +3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
For b = -12, the equation factors as ...
4x² -12x -27 = (2x +3)(2x -9) = 0
It has roots 9/2 and -3/2, the ratio of which is -3.
No it does not. If q=b and b=t then q=t is the correct answer.
