For all functions of the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c which is true when b=0

1 answer:

8 0

I believe if b were to equal the value of 0, there would be 2 solutions to the function. Or not mainly if the resulting expression turns out to be a difference of squares.

Eg. f(x) = 2x^2 + 0x + 2

2x^2 + 2

2(x^2 + 1)

Here there would not be x intercepts, mainly because x cannot be solved.

The average summer temperature in Anchorage is 69°F. If the daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

81.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The average summer temperature in Anchorage is 69°F.

The daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7°F .

To Find:What percentage of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F?

Solution:

Mean = $\mu = 69$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 7$

Formula : $z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Now At x = 55

$z=\frac{55-69}{7}$

$z=-2$

At x = 76

$z=\frac{76-69}{7}$

$z=1$

Now to find P(55<z<76)

P(2<z<-1)=P(z<2)-P(z>-1)

Using z table :

P(2<z<-1)=P(z<2)-P(z>-1)=0.9772-0.1587=0.8185

Now percentage of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F = $0.8185 \times 100 = 81.85\%$

Hence If the daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7°F, 81.85% of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F.

Lara planted some seeds. For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.

Tresset [83]

Given:

For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.

Altogether, 12 seeds grew.

To find:

The number of total seeds planted by Lara.

Solution:

It is given that for every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew. It means the ratio of total seeds planted to seeds grew is 3:2.

Altogether, 12 seeds grew.
