Answer:  1. \dfrac{9}{8} .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression  2x^2-3x+1

Using completing the square method.

First, we divide the entire expression by 2 and write in the form of x^2+bx=c , we get

x^2-\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}

Such that b=\dfrac{3}{2}\ \ \ , c=\dfrac{1}{2}

Now add and subtract (\dfrac{b}{2})^2 on both sides.

(\dfrac{b}{2})^2=(\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{2}}{2})^2\\\\=(\dfrac{3}{2\times2})^2\\\\=(\dfrac{3^2}{4^2})\\\\=\dfrac{9}{8}

Here, we add and subtract \dfrac{9}{8} .

Hence, the correct answer is  1. \dfrac{9}{8} .

How much would 500$ invested at 9% interest compounded annually be worth after 4 years?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$705.79

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

the formula for compound interest is

A = P [1 + (r/n) ]^(nt)

Where:

P = Principal Amount = $500

r = annual interest rate = 9% = 0.09

t = 4 years

n = 1 (compounded annually)

A = 500 [1 + (0.09/1) ]^(1 x 4)

A = 500 [1 + 0.09 ]^(4)

A = 500 [1.09 ]^(4)

A = $705.79

The Highway Safety Department wants to study the driving habits of individuals. A sample of 40 cars traveling on a particular st
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 101

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

What sample size is needed to estimate the true average speed to within 2 mph at 99% confidence?

We need a sample of at least n.

n is found when M = 2. So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

2 = 2.575*\frac{7.8}{\sqrt{n}}

2\sqrt{n} = 2.575*7.8

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*7.8}{2}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*7.8}{2})^{2}

n = 100.85

Rounding up

We need a sample size of at least 101
