Answer:

x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please share the possible answer choices.

Here we can actually find the roots, using the quadratic formula or some other approach.

a = 1, b = 5 and c = 11.  Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or 5^2-4(1)(11).  Since the discriminant is negative, the roots are complex.  The discriminant value is 25-44, or -19.

Thus, the roots of the given poly are:

      -5 plus or minus i√19

x = -----------------------------------

                     2(1)

or x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19

Answer:  The roots of the given polynomial are

x=\dfrac{-5+i\sqrt{19}}{2},~~\dfrac{-5-i\sqrt{19}}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the two values of x that are the roots of the following quadratic polynomial:

P(x)=x^2+5x+11.

To find the roots, we must have

P(x)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+5x+11=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

the solution set of quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0,~a\neq 0 is given by

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

From equation (i), we have

a = 1,  b = 5   and   c = 11.

Therefore, the solution of equation (i) is given by

x\\\\\\=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{5^2-4\times1\times 11}}{2\times 1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{25-44}}{2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{-19}}{2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-5\pm i\sqrt{19}}{2}.

Thus, the roots of the given polynomial are

x=\dfrac{-5+i\sqrt{19}}{2},~~\dfrac{-5-i\sqrt{19}}{2}.

In class A, John got 85 for his first test John's class mean was 75 and standard deviation was 5. In class B, Kathy got 80 in he
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

b. Kathy

Step-by-step explanation:

We compare each of their score by how far away from the mean when in term of the standard deviation. Using the following formula

\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}

For John he is (85 - 75)/5 = 2.

For Kathy she is (80 - 50)/10 = 3.

Since Kathy is 3 standard deviation better than her class' average, while John is only 2's. We conclude that Kathy did better.

Grace [21]

Answer:

<em>(D). x = 2 , y = - 5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A = - 8 + 48 = 40

A_{x} = -76 + 156 = 80

A_{y} = 104 - 304 = - 200

<em>x =</em> \frac{A_{x} }{A} = <em>2</em>

<em>y =</em> \frac{A_{y} }{A} = <em>- 5</em>

<u><em>( 2, - 5 )</em></u>

A local nursery sells a large number of ornamental trees every year. The owners have determined the cost per tree C for buying a
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The minimum cost is achieved when 150 trees are produced giving a minimum cost of $27.5

Polynomial is an expression that involves the <em>operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication of variables.</em>

Let C represent the cost for buying and caring for n trees. Given that:

C = 0.001n² - 0.3n + 50.

The minimum cost is at dC/dn = 0, hence:

dC/dn = 0.002n - 0.3

0.002n - 0.3 = 0

0.002n = 0.3

n = 150

C(150) = 0.001(150)² - 0.3(150) + 50 = 27.5

The minimum cost is achieved when 150 trees are produced giving a minimum cost of $27.5
