Use quadratic formula to solve 1-6x^2-x​
eduard

Answer:

(3x-1)(2x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1-6x^2-x=0

-6x^2-x+1=0

6x^2+x-1=0

6x^2+(3-2)x-1=0

6x^2+3x-2x-1=0

3x(2x+1)-1(2x+1)=0

(3x-1)(2x+1)=0

So the factor is (3x-1)(2x+1)

exis [7]

the complete question in the attached figure

 

we have 

$72 ------------------------------------ > for every television sold

$90 ------------------------------------ > for every computer sold.

let 

x--------------------- > numbers of television sold

y--------------------- > numbers of computer sold 

then 

72x+90y >= $360 ----------- >72x/72+90y/72 >= $360 /72---- >x+1.25y >= $5

y >= (5-x)/1.25--------------see the graph in attached figure 

 

case A---------- > (5,2) (3,3)  (1,4)

72x+90y --------- > 72*5+90*2=540 >= 360----- > is solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*3+90*3=486 >= 360----- > is solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*1+90*4=432 >= 360----- > is solution

 

case B------------ >  (4,0) (2,2)  (1,1)

72x+90y --------- > 72*4+90*0=288 < 360----- > is not solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*2+90*2=324 < 360----- > is not solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*1+90*1=162 < 360----- > is not solution

 

case C------------ >  (3,1) (2,2)  (1,0)

72x+90y --------- > 72*3+90*1=306 < 360----- > is not solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*2+90*2=324 < 360----- > is not solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*1+90*0=72 < 360----- > is not solution

 

case D------------ >  (4,0) (3,3)  (1,4)

72x+90y --------- > 72*4+90*0=288 < 360----- > is not solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*3+90*3=486 >= 360----- > is solution

72x+90y --------- > 72*1+90*4=432 >= 360----- > is solution

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Option A) As the Exam 1 score increases by 1 point, the student's Exam 3 grade will increase, on average, by 0.4845 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the equation:

A simple linear regression analysis was conducted to predict the Exam 3 score of students in STA 2023 based on their Exam 1 score.

Thus, Exam 3 score becomes the dependent variable and exam 1 score is the independent variable.

The regression equation is given by:

\hat{y} = 50.57+0.4845x

Comparing the equation to a linear equation:

y = mx + c

m = 0.4845

c = 50.57

Where m is the slope and tells the rate of change and c is the y intercept that is the value of y when x is 0.

When, there is a increase in x, we can write:

\hat{y}(x) = 50.57+0.4845x\\\hat{y}(x+1) = 50.57+0.4845(x+1)\\\hat{y}(x+1) - \hat{y}(x) = 50.57+0.4845(x+1)-(50.57+0.4845x)\\\hat{y}(x+1) - \hat{y}(x) = 0.4845

Thus, the slope of equation can be interpreted as:

Option A) As the Exam 1 score increases by 1 point, the student's Exam 3 grade will increase, on average, by 0.4845 points.
