Answer:

Correct choice is 2. $f(x)=0.4(x+2)(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of the quadratic function. Now we need to use that graph to find the equation of the graph in vertex form. By the way given choices written in intercept form so to be accurate we are going to find the equation in intercept form.

from graph we see that x-intercepts are at 5 and -2.

we know that if x=a is x-intercept then (x-a) must be factor.

So (x+2)(x-5) is the factor.

when leading coefficient is positive then graph opens upward.

so that means leading coefficient is 0.4

Hence correct choice is 2. $f(x)=0.4(x+2)(x-5)$

How does the ratio of corresponding side lengths of the two quadrilaterals compare with the ratio of the areas of the quadrilate

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The ratio of the areas would be the ratio of the side lengths squared.

Say the ratio of the side lengths is 1:2, the ratio of the areas would be 1:4. If the ratio of the sides were 2:3, the ratio of the areas would be 4:9.

Hope this helps

Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 2.0×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met

Vitek1552 [10]

For light: Inverse Square Law

The signal is weaken by the inverse square of the difference of distances this means that one over the square of the difference.

Therefore, 70000LY / 141 LY =496.45 and that squared =246462.602 times less signal, or 1/246462.602.

2 For a circular telescope like the Arecibo radio telescope that equals Pi times the radius squared. Sensitivity of the telescope depends on its area.
The new telescope needs 246462.60 times that area to have enough sensitivity

(150 x 150 x Pi) = 70 685 sq m area for the Arecibo telescope and that times 246462.60
= 1.74212 x 10^10

What is the diameter of a circle with that area?

1. Divide the area by Pi = 5.548156 x 10^9
2. Take the square root of the result to find the radius = 74485.94293

3. Multiply by 2 to find the diameter = 148971.886

In a certain city, the daily consumption of electric power, in millions of kilowatt-hours, is a random

kupik [55]

Answer:

a) $\alpha = 3, \beta = 2$

b) 0.0620

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, $\mu$ = 6

Variance, $\sigma^2$ = 12

a) Value of $\alpha, \beta$

We know that

$\alpha \beta = \mu = 6\\\alpha \beta^2 = \sigma^2 = 12$

Dividing the two equations, we get,

$\dfrac{\alpha\beta^2}{\alpha\beta} = \dfrac{12}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow \beta = 2\\\alpha \beta = 6\\\Rightarrow \alpha = 3$

b) probability that on any given day the daily power consumption will exceed 12 million kilowatt hours.

We can write the probability density function as:

$f(x,3,2) = \dfrac{1}{2^{3}(3-1)!}x^{3-1}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}, x > 0\\\\f(x,3,2) = \dfrac{1}{16}x^{2}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}, x > 0$

We have to evaluate:

$P(x >12)\\\\= \dfrac{1}{16}\displaystyle\int^{\infty}_{12}f(x)dx\\\\=\dfrac{1}{16}\bigg[-2x^2e^{-\frac{x}{2}}-2\displaystyle\int xe^{-\frac{x}{2}}dx}\bigg]^{\infty}_{12}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{8}\bigg[x^2e^{-\frac{x}{2}}+4xe^{-\frac{x}{2}}+8e^{-\frac{x}{2}}\bigg]^{\infty}_{12}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{8}\bigg[(\infty)^2e^{-\frac{\infty}{2}}+4(\infty)e^{-\frac{\infty}{2}}+8e^{-\frac{\infty}{2}} -( (12)^2e^{-\frac{12}{2}}+4(12)e^{-\frac{12}{2}}+8e^{-\frac{12}{2}})\bigg]\\\\=0.0620$

0.0620 is the required probability that on any given day the daily power consumption will exceed 12 million kilowatt hours.
