Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Although you can start with 4x^2-2x-4=0, it's just slightly easier to reduce the coefficients. 4x^2-2x-4=0 becomes 2x^2 - x - 2 = 0.
The discriminant (part of the quadratic formula) is b^2 - 4ac. Using b = -1. a = 1 and c = -2, we get (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-2), or 17.
-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)
Then the quadratic formula x = ---------------------------
2a
-(-1) ± √17 1 ± √17
takes on the values x = ----------------- = ---------------
4 4
The volume of the prism is calculated by multiplying the length, L, width,W, and depth or height, H.
V = L x W x H
Fish tank:
V = 50 cm x 25 cm x 25 cm
= 31250 cm³
Depth of the water in tank (with castle - without castle)
d = 57.5 cm - 48 cm = 9.5 cm
Volume of the caste:
V = 9.5 cm x 50 cm x 25 cm = 11875 cm³
Y = <span>b^x
when x = 1
y = b^1
y = b
Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5
To confirm this
From the graph,
When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5
When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5
Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
7____ is the one that couldn't used to complete a table of eqiuvalent ratios
I'm assuming you're referring to problem 6. You are asked to find the number of x intercepts or roots, which is another term for "zero". I prefer the term root or x intercept as "zero" seems misleading. Anyways, all we do is count the number of times the graph crosses the x axis. This happens 4 times as shown in the attached image below. I have marked these points in red. The graph can directly cross over the x axis, or it can touch the x axis and then bounce back. Either way, it is considered an x intercept.
<h3>Answer: there are 4 x intercepts (or 4 roots)</h3>
