Consider the polynomials p(x) = 3x + 27x^2 and q(x)= 2 . Find the x -coordinate(s) of the point(s) of intersection of these two

polynomials. What is the sum of these x -coordinates? (If there is only one point of intersection, give the corresponding x -coordinate.)

Answer:

The x -coordinate(s) of the point(s) of intersection of these two polynomials are x=\frac{2}{9}\approx0.2222,\:x=-\frac{1}{3}\approx-0.3333

The sum of these x -coordinates is \frac{2}{9}+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=-\frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The intersections of the two polynomials, p(x) and q(x), are the roots of the equation p(x) = q(x).

Thus, 3x + 27x^2=2 and we solve for x

3x+27x^2-2=2-2\\27x^2+3x-2=0\\\left(27x^2-6x\right)+\left(9x-2\right)\\3x\left(9x-2\right)+\left(9x-2\right)\\\left(9x-2\right)\left(3x+1\right)=0

Using Zero Factor Theorem: = 0 if and only if = 0 or = 0

9x-2=0\\9x=2\\x=\frac{2}{9}

3x+1=0\\3x=-1\\x=-\frac{1}{3}

The solutions are:

x=\frac{2}{9}\approx0.2222,\:x=-\frac{1}{3}\approx-0.3333

The sum of these x -coordinates is

\frac{2}{9}+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=-\frac{1}{9}

We can check our work with the graph of the two polynomials.

Four plants orbit a star at the following distances.Which one is the closes to the star?
vredina [299]

Answer: Easily A.

Step-by-step explanation: All you have to do is look at the power of the tens. The one that is the least is A. Since none of the other choices are equal to or less than 10^7, A is your answer. In scientific notation, you almost always look at the 10^x first.

Prisha rolls a fair number cube multiple times and records the result of each roll. Her results are shown in the table.
Leona [35]

Answer:

The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is greater than the theoretical probability of rolling a 3

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the difference between the theoretical probability and

 experimental probability

- Theoretical probability is what we expect to happen

- Experimental probability is what actually happens when we try it out

- Both of them calculated by the same way, the number of possible ways

 an outcome can occur divided by the total

* Lets solve the problem

- The table has two column;

# Number Cube             # Observed Frequency

           1                                           18

           2                                          16

           3                                          24

           4                                          26

           5                                          16

           6                                          20

        Total                                      120

∵ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 = 24/120 = 1/5 = 0.2

∴ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 = 0.2 = 20%

∵ The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 = 1/6

∴ The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 = 0.1666 ≅ 17%

∵ 20% is greater than 17%

∴ The experimental probability of rolling a 3 is greater than the

  theoretical probability of rolling a 3
