For what value of k will k+9,2k-1 and 2k+7 are the consecutive terms of an A.P

k = 18

the common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = ....

a₂ - a₁ = 2k - 1 - k - 9 = k - 10 and

a₃ - a₂ = 2k + 7 - (2k - 1) = 2k + 7 - 2k + 1 = 8, hence

k - 10 = 8 ⇒ k = 8 + 10 = 18

the 3 consecutive terms are

27, 35, 43

Which of the following is true of the discriminant for the graph below
aniked [119]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.

The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C.  Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!

Three times each day, a quality engineer samples a component from a recently manufactured batch and tests it. Each part is class
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Three samples of components manufactured are taken per day. They are classified as:

D: "Conforming (suitable for its use)"

E: "Downgraded (unsuitable for the intended purpose but usable for another purpose)"

F: "Scrap (not usable)"

This classification includes the three events that may occur in your sample space S. The experiment consists in recording the categories of the three parts tested in a day.

a. List the 27 outcomes in the sample space.

The possible outcomes in the space sample are the combinations of the three events. To avoid using the same letters as in the following questions I've named the evets as D, E, and F

S={DDD, DED, DFD, DEF, DFE, DEE, DFF, DDE, DDF , EDE, EEE, EFE, EED, EEF, EDF, EFD, EDD, EFF , FDF, FEF, FFF, FFE, FFD, FDE, FED, FDD, FEE}

b. Let A be the event that all the parts fall into the same category. List the outcomes in A.

A: "All the parts fall into the same category"

You have three possible outcomes for this event, that the three compounds are conforming, "DDD", that the three are unconforming, "EEE", or that the three compounds are scrap, "FFF". There are only three possible outcomes for this event.

S={DDD, EEE, FFF}

c. Let B be the event that there is one part in each category. List the outcomes in B.

B: "There is a part in each category"

This means, for example, The first one is conforming "D", the second one is unconforming "E" and the third one is scrap "F", then the first one may be unconforming "E", the second one is conforming "D" and the thirds one is scrap "F", and so on, you have 6 possible outcomes for this event:

S={DEF, DFE, EDF, EFD, FDE, FED}

d. Let C be the event that at least two parts are conforming. List the outcomes in C.

C: "At least two parts are conforming"

For this event, you can have two of the compounds to be considered conforming or the three of them.

S={DDD, DED, DFD, DDE, DDF , EDD, FDD}

A total of 7 combinations fit this event.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

An ounce is equal to about 28 g. If 1 g of soil contains 2.5 billion bacteria, how many bacteria are in 1 oz of soil?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

About 700 billion bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1oz \approx 28g

1g = 25\ billion\ bacteria

Required

Number of bacteria in 1 oz

1g = 25\ billion\ bacteria

Multiply both sides by 28

28 * 1g = 25\ billion\ bacteria * 28

28g = 700\ billion\ bacteria

Recall that

1oz \approx 28g

This means:

1oz \approx 700\ billion\ bacteria
