Mathematics

Answer:

The 2 in the numerator should be -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a quadratic equation

-2x^2+5x-3=0

We have to find error made by Zacharias.

We have a=-2,b=5,c=-3

Quadratic formula : D=b^2-4ac

Substitute the values in the given formula

D=(5)^2-4(-2)(-3)

Therefore, the 2 in the numerator should be -2 .This is the error made by Zacharias.

The equation 0 = -2x2 5x - 3 was the quadratic formula that Zacharias used. However, he started substituting as:
Quadratic formula as x = ; substitution as x

The errors he made: he mistakenly used the negative (-) and postive (+)
      * -5 should have been 5
      * 52 should have been -52
      * both the numerator and the denominator  should have been -2 instead        of 2

A new car's original price is $13,999. If it's on sale<br> for 10% off, what's the new price?
blsea [12.9K]
To find new price after discount we are going to find 10% of $13,999.00, then subtract the discount amount from $13,999.00.

13,999.00 × ¹⁰/₁₀₀ = $1,399.90

13,999.00 - 1,399.90 = $12,599.10

Therefore, new price = $12,599.10

An automobile manufacturer claims that its car has a 35.935.9 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been co
Serjik [45]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

For the given claim , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0: \mu=35.9

Alternative hypothesis :  H_a: \mu\neq35.9

Since alternative hypothesis is two-tailed , so the test is a two-tailed test.

Given : Sample size : n=220  ;

Sample mean: \overline{x}=35.6  ;

Standard deviation: s=2.2

Test statistic for population mean:

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\dfrac{35.6-35.9}{\dfrac{2.2}{\sqrt{220}}}\approx-2.02

By using the standard normal distribution table of z , we have

P-value ( two tailed test ) : 2P(Z>|z|)=2(1-P(Z

=2(1-P(z

Since , the P-value is greater than the significance level of \alpha=0.02 , it means we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
