Answer:

-3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

negative numbers are reverse counting on the line graph.

-3 1/2 is -3.5

-3.4 VS. -3.5

since it is reverse, -3.4 is greater

6. Solve by factoring: 2x²-11x+14=0

Mariana [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 2x^2-11x+14=0 give me 2 ways to get the 2 values of x?

The first way is to make factors by middle-term splitting. You get (x-2)(2x-7)=0, so the solution is x=2,7/2.

The other way is to use the formula for the solution of roots. Roots= (-b+ rootD)/2a, (-b-rootD)/2a, if the equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c=0. Here D is the discriminant. D=b^2-4ac

How do I solve 12x^2+11x+2=0?

Solve for x. 5x3−2x2−47x−14=0?

How can I prove that x^2+2x+2=0?

Is the sequence X^2 + 2x -2 =0?

What are the steps to solve 2^(2x)-3(2^x) +2=0?

Lets assume your equation is of the form ax^2+ bx + c =0

First method :

By breaking 'b' factor of x into two parts using factors of 'ac' ( a *c)

like 2* 14 = 28 = 7* 4 ( b is 11 which could be splitted in values 7 and 4)

equation becomes 2x^2 -4x-7x+14 = 0

take out common factors 2x(x-2) -7 (x-2) = 0

which is (2x-7) (x-2) =0 ; x =2,7/2 are two values

Second method:

make equation in the form of (x+h)^ 2 - k = 0 ; then x+h = +sqrt(k) and -sqrt(k)

which will give x as -h+sqrt(k) , +sqrt(k)

2x^2 - 11x +14 =0 wil become x^2 -11/2 x + 7 = 0

which is (x-11/4)^2 + 7- 121/16 =0

(x-11/4)^2 = (121/16) - 7 = 9/16

x- 11/4 = 3/4 and -3/4

x = 14/4 and 8/4 = 7/2 and 2

Haley works at a candy store. There are 10 types of bulk candy. Find the probability that one type of candy will be chosen more

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Probability that one type of candy will be chosen more than once in 10 trials = 0.2639

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial experiment because

- A binomial experiment is one in which the probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials.

- It usually consists of a number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure. (10 trials, with the outcome of each trial being that we get the required candy or not)

- The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another.

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 10 trials

x = Number of successes required = number of times we want to pick a particular brand of candy = more than once, that is > 1

p = probability of success = probability of picking a particular brand of candy from a bulk with 10 different types of candies = (1/10) = 0.10

q = probability of failure = Probability of not picking our wanted candy = 1 - p = 1 - 0.1 = 0.90

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X ≤ 1)

P(X ≤ 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

P(X = 0) = ¹⁰C₀ (0.10)⁰ (0.90)¹⁰⁻⁰ = 0.3486784401

P(X = 1) = ¹⁰C₁ (0.10)¹ (0.90)¹⁰⁻¹ = 0.387420489

P(X ≤ 1) = 0.3486784401 + 0.387420489 = 0.7360989291

P(X > 1) = 1 - 0.7360989291 = 0.2639010709 = 0.2639

Hope this Helps!!!

Determine the formula for the nth term of the sequence:<br>-2,1,7,25,79,...

rodikova [14]

A plausible guess might be that the sequence is formed by a degree-4* polynomial,

$x_n = a n^4 + b n^3 + c n^2 + d n + e$

From the given known values of the sequence, we have

$\begin{cases}a+b+c+d+e = -2 \\ 16 a + 8 b + 4 c + 2 d + e = 1 \\ 81 a + 27 b + 9 c + 3 d + e = 7 \\ 256 a + 64 b + 16 c + 4 d + e = 25 \\ 625 a + 125 b + 25 c + 5 d + e = 79\end{cases}$

Solving the system yields coefficients

$a=\dfrac58, b=-\dfrac{19}4, c=\dfrac{115}8, d = -\dfrac{65}4, e=4$

so that the n-th term in the sequence might be

$\displaystyle x_n = \boxed{\frac{5 n^4}{8}-\frac{19 n^3}{4}+\frac{115 n^2}{8}-\frac{65 n}{4}+4}$

Then the next few terms in the sequence could very well be

$\{-2, 1, 7, 25, 79, 208, 466, 922, 1660, 2779, \ldots\}$

It would be much easier to confirm this had the given sequence provided just one more term...

* Why degree-4? This rests on the assumption that the higher-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ eventually form a constant sequence. But we only have enough information to find one term in the sequence of 4th-order differences. Denote the k-th-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ by $\Delta^{k}\{x_n\}$ . Then

• 1st-order differences:

$\Delta\{x_n\} = \{1-(-2), 7-1, 25-7, 79-25,\ldots\} = \{3,6,18,54,\ldots\}$

• 2nd-order differences:

$\Delta^2\{x_n\} = \{6-3,18-6,54-18,\ldots\} = \{3,12,36,\ldots\}$

• 3rd-order differences:

$\Delta^3\{x_n\} = \{12-3, 36-12,\ldots\} = \{9,24,\ldots\}$

• 4th-order differences:

$\Delta^4\{x_n\} = \{24-9,\ldots\} = \{15,\ldots\}$

From here I made the assumption that $\Delta^4\{x_n\}$ is the constant sequence {15, 15, 15, …}. This implies $\Delta^3\{x_n\}$ forms an arithmetic/linear sequence, which implies $\Delta^2\{x_n\}$ forms a quadratic sequence, and so on up $\{x_n\}$ forming a quartic sequence. Then we can use the method of undetermined coefficients to find it.

NEED ANSWERED ASAP!!!!

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x+2

g(x) = x²

g(fx) = (x+2)²

= x²+4x+4

g(fx)(-5) = (-5)²+4(-5)+4

= 25 - 20 + 4

= 9
