Let's solve the equation 2k^2 = 9 + 3k
First, subtract each side by (9+3k) to get 0 on the right side of the equation
2k^2 = 9 + 3k
2k^2 - (9+3k) = 9+3k - (9+3k)
2k^2 - 9 - 3k = 9 + 3k - 9 - 3k
2k^2 - 3k - 9 = 0

As you see, we got a quadratic equation of general form ax^2 + bx + c, in which a = 2, b= -3, and c = -9.
Δ = b^2 - 4ac
Δ = (-3)^2 - 4 (2)(-9)
Δ<u /> = 9 + 72
Δ<u /> = 81

Δ<u />>0 so the equation got 2 real solutions:
k = (-b + √Δ)/2a = (-(-3) + √<u />81) / 2*2 = (3+9)/4 = 12/4 = 3
AND
k = (-b -√Δ)/2a = (-(-3) - √<u />81)/2*2 = (3-9)/4 = -6/4 = -3/2

So the solutions to 2k^2 = 9+3k are k=3 and k=-3/2

A rational number is either an integer number, or a decimal number that got a definitive number of digits after the decimal point.

3 is an integer number, so it's rational.
-3/2 = -1.5, and -1.5 got a definitive number of digit after the decimal point, so it's rational.

So 2k^2 = 9 + 3k have two rational solutions (Option B).

Hope this Helps! :)

The sample space of the outcomes of an event can be represented as a list and on a tree diagram

<h3>The possible quiz answer combination</h3>

From the question, we have:

Questions = 3

Options = 2 (True or False)

So, the number of outcomes in the sample space is calculated as:

$n = 2^3$

Evaluate the exponent

$n = 8$

Hence, the number of outcomes in the sample space is 8

<h3>The outcomes</h3>

Represent T = True and F = False.

So, the possible outcomes are:

Outcomes = {TTT, TFT, TTF, TFF, FTT, FFT, FTF, FFF}

<h3>The possible answer combinations</h3>

From the question, we have:

2 true or false questions

3 multiple choice questions with 4 options

So, the number of outcomes in the sample space is:

$n = 2^2 * 4^3$

Evaluate

$n = 256$

Hence, the number of outcomes are in the sample space is 256

<h3>List 5 outcomes</h3>

The possible outcomes are:

Outcomes = {TTTAA, TFTAB, TTFAC, TFFAD, FTTBA}

<h3>The tree diagram</h3>

See attachment

<h3>Possible outcomes are on the tree diagram</h3>

The possible outcomes are on the tree diagram is 8

Suppose a man's scalp hair grows at a rate of 0.35mm per day. What is this growth rate in feet per century?

kiruha [24]

First off, let's find out the growth rate per century in millimeters.
Since there are are one hundred days in a century, we just have to multiply 0.35 by 100. We just have to move the decimal point two places to the right to receive a rate of 35 mm per century. We can use a mm to ft conversion calculator to convert 35 mm to feet- getting 0.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth.
So this growth rate is 0.1 feet per century. Hope that helped!
