What must be true about the discriminant of this quadratic equation for the mentioned values of k? Assume p>0.

1 answer:

4 0

1/(4p)(x-h)^2+k=0

1/(4p)(x-h)^2 = -k

k(4p)(x-h)^2+1=0

4kp (x^2 - 2xh + h^2) + 1 = 0

4kp x^2 - 8kph x + 4kph^2+1 = 0

D = (-8kph)^2 - 4(4kp)(4kph^2+1) = 64(kph)^2 - 64(kph)^2 - 16kp
D = -16kp < 0

SO discriminant is always less than 0

The Law and Order detectives enter a house at 11:30 am and found a man on the floor murdered. They take his body temperature fin

taurus [48]

Answer:

Time of murder = 10:39 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of exponential function representing the final temperature of the body after time 't' is,

f(t) = $a(e)^{nt}$

Here, a = Initial temperature

n = Constant for the change in temperature

t = Duration

At 11:30 am temperature of the body was 91.8°F.

91.8 = $98.6(e)^{nt}$ --------(1)

Time to reach the body to the morgue = 12:30 pm

Duration to reach = 12:30 p.m. - 11:30 a.m.

= 1 hour

Therefore, equation will be,

84.4 = $91.8(e)^{n\times 1}$

eⁿ = $\frac{84.4}{91.8}$

ln(eⁿ) = ln(0.9194)

n = -0.08403

From equation (1),

91.8 = $98.6(e)^{-0.08403t}$

$(e)^{0.08403t}=\frac{98.6}{91.8}$

$ln[(e)^{0.08403t}]=ln[\frac{98.6}{91.8}]$

0.08403t = 0.07146

t = 0.85 hours

t ≈ 51 minutes

Therefore, murder was done 51 minutes before the detectives arrival.

Time of murder = 11:30 - 00:51

= 10:90 - 00:51

= 10:39 am

To obtain the area of a sector, what fraction is multiplied by the area of a circle (A = πr2)?

romanna [79]

Let r be a radius of a given circle and α be an angle, that corresponds to a sector.

The circle area is $A=\pi r^2$ and denote the sector area as $A_1$ .
Then $\dfrac{A_1}{A}= \dfrac{\alpha}{2\pi}$ (the ratio between area is the same as the ratio between coresponding angles).

$A_1=\dfrac{\alpha}{2\pi} \cdot A=\dfrac{\alpha}{2\pi} \cdot \pi r^2= \dfrac{r^2\alpha}{2}$ .
