5) (5x2 + 4) — (5 + 5x3)

find h and k such that the equation 3x^2 -hx +4k =0, so that the sum of the solutions is -12 and the product of the solutions is

Radda [10]

Let the solutions be a and b.
a = -2; b = -10
a + b = -2 + (-10) = -12
ab = (-2)(-10) = 20

(x - a)(x - b) = 0

(x - (-2))(x - (-10)) = 0

(x + 2)(x + 10) = 0

x^2 + 10x + 2x + 20 = 0

x^2 + 12x + 20 = 0

-h = 12

h = -12

4k = 20

k = 5

I NEED HELP ON QUESTION B AND C ASAP.

ipn [44]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumed the dimensions of the top and bottom parts are identical.

Since the cylindrical part has total height of 1.8 cm and the hemisphere volume is transferred to bottom part and the cone part is still full, the value of h is the difference of the total height of cylinder and full part of the top section of cylinder:

h = 1.8 cm - 0.3 cm = 1.5 cm

Find the volume of sand in the bottom part. It consists of a hemisphere and a cylinder of 1.5 cm height.

V(cylinder) = πr²h = 3.14*(2.6/2)²*1.5 ≈ 7.96 cm³
V(hemisphere) = 2/3πr³ = 2/3*3.14*(2.6/2)³ ≈ 4.6 cm³

<u>Total sand in the bottom part:</u>

7.96 + 4.6 = 12.56 cm³

<u>Time taken:</u>

12.56 / 0.05 = 251.2 seconds = 4 min 11.2 seconds

Rabies is an often-fatal disease typically transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. The state of Florida has been rec

slega [8]

Answer:

a) 3.6

b) 1.897

c)0.0273

d) 0.9727

Step-by-step explanation:

Rabies has a rare occurrence and we can assume that events are independent. So, X the count of rabies cases reported in a given week is a Poisson random variable with μ=3.6.

a)

The mean of a Poisson random variable X is μ.

mean=E(X)=μ=3.6.

b)

The standard deviation of a Poisson random variable X is √μ.

standard deviation=S.D(X)=√μ=√3.6=1.897.

c)

The probability for Poisson random variable X can be calculated as

P(X=x)=(e^-μ)(μ^x)/x!

where x=0,1,2,3,...

So,

P(no case of rabies)=P(X=0)=e^-3.6(3.6^0)/0!

P(no case of rabies)=P(X=0)=0.0273.

d)

P(at least one case of rabies)=P(X≥1)=1-P(X<1)=1-P(X=0)

P(at least one case of rabies)=1-0.0273=0.9727

In sunlight, a vertical stick has a height of 5 ft and casts a shadow 3 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shad

leva [86]

The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.

Geraldine is asked to explain the limits on the range of an exponential equation using the function f(x) = 2^x. She makes these

GalinKa [24]

<u>General Idea:</u>

Domain is the values of x which gives a defined output to the function, and Range is the values of y that we get by substituting domain values of x. For the function f(x) = a^x, where a > 0, the domain will be all real numbers and range will be all values greater than 0. That is the graph will be very close to x-axis but will never touch it.

<u>Applying the concept:</u>

From the attached table, we can notice that as x increases infinitely, the y-values are continually doubled for each single increase in x and as x decreases infinitely, the y-values are continually halved for each single decrease in x.

Option 1: "Statement 1 is incorrect because the y-values are increased by 2, not doubled".

Option 1 is INCORRECT because Statement 1 is TRUE & CORRECT.

Option 2: "Statement 2 is incorrect because the y-values are doubled, not halved".

Option 2 is INCORRECT because Statement 2 is TRUE & CORRECT.

Option 3: "The conclusion is incorrect because the range is limited to the set of the integers"

Option 3 is INCORRECT because, the range will be always greater than 0, because irrespective of how many times y is halved for each single decrease in x, the y will still be a positive fraction and won't be a negative.

Option 4: "The conclusion is incorrect because the range is limited to the set of positive real numbers"

<em><u>Option 4 is CORRECT because y value will be positive irrespective of whatever x we substitute in the function.</u></em>
