Answer:
Solutions are 2, -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
or 2, -1 + 1.58 i and -1 - 1.58i
(where the last 2 are equal to nearest hundredth).
Step-by-step explanation:
The real solution is x = 2:-
x^3 - 8 = 0
x^3 = 8
x = cube root of 8 = 2
Note that a cubic equation must have a total of 3 roots ( real and complex in this case). We can find the 2 complex roots by using the following identity:-
a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).
Here a = x and b = 2 so we have
(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0
To find the complex roots we solve x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0:-
Using the quadratic formula x = [-2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2
= -1 +/- (sqrt( -10)) / 2
= -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
Answer:
1/3
Explanation:
P(Freshman | Boy)
⇒ Probability = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total number of possible outcomes
- P(Freshman | Boy) = freshman/total boys
So he used 0.33 L of milk to make 0.11 L of tea
Answer:
(24, 224 ) i.e. 24 basketball and 224 footballs
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Basketball :</em>
uses 4 ounces of foam
20 minutes of labor
profit = $2.50
<em>Football :</em>
uses 3 ounces of foam
30 minutes of labor
profit = $2
Manufacturer has :
768 ounces of foam , 120 labor hours per week,
<u>using the simplex method to determine the optimal production schedule so as to maximize profits </u>
lets assume
x = number of basketball
y = number of footballs
maximize = 2.5 x + 2y from a linear programming problem
attached below is the detailed solution
