Answer:

P (black marble) =3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total number of marbles

4 black marbles+ 2 red marbles+ 6 white marbles= 12 marbles

We take away a black marble and throw it away

3 black marbles+ 2 red marbles+ 6 white marbles= 11 marbles

The probability of drawing a black marble is

P (black marble) = black/total

                           =3/11

Use the discriminant to find the number of real solutions of the equation 3x^2 – 5x + 4 = 0
Virty [35]
To use the discriminant, first identify a, b, and c. In your equation a= 3 b = -5 and c = 4. Now plug into the discriminant b^2 - 4ac. Substituting yields (-5)^2 - 4(3)(4). Simplifying, 25 - 48 = -23. Since the discriminant has a negative value, there is no real solution to this equation.

Y=-3x^2-6x+24
Lera25 [3.4K]
The x-intercept is the point at which the function intersects the x-axis.
For any point on the x-axis, y = 0. Thus we can plug in 0 for y and solve for x.

y=-3x^2-6x+24 \\ 0=-3x^2-6x+24

Let's split the middle on this quadratic.
To do this we need to find two numbers that add to equal -6 and multiply to equal -72. (-3 times 24)
Consider ways to multiply to get 72.
72 = 36 ×2...that's not going to work.
72 = 24 × 3
72 = 18 × 4
72 = 12 × 6...and 12 minus 6 is 6!
Let's add our signs; our numbers are -12 and 6.
Now, split the middle and factor.

0=-3x^2-12x+6x+24\\0=-3x(x+4)+6(x+4)\\0=(-3x+6)(x+4)

Now you should know that anything multiplied by zero is zero.
So any value that makes one of those factors equal zero is an x-intercept.
Solve each of these equations.

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

x+4 = 0
x = -4

Oh, and since all parabolas (graphs of quadratics) are symmetrical, our axis of symmetry will be the average between the two, which is x=-1.

Now for our y-intercepts. For any points on the y-axis, x=0, so if we plug in 0 for x and solve for y we'll get our y-intercept.

y = -3×0² - 6×0 + 24
y = 0 - 0 + 24
y = 24

What about our vertex? Well, we know it's going to line up with the axis of symmetry, so let's just plug in -1 for x.

y = -3×-1² - 6×-1 + 24
y = -3×1 -6×-1 + 24
y = -3 + 6 + 24
y = 27

Thus the vertex is (-1, 27)

The y value is not going to exceed 27, as this is a decreasing quadratic, (we already know y=24 is a possibilty) and this equation goes downwards infinitely, so our range is (-∞, 27)

As for x, well, it's sort of the input for our equation, meaning it can be whatever we want it to be. Thus the domain is (-∞, ∞)

Fill in the blanks below.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a) <em>Slope of the line m = ∞</em>

<em>b) Slope of the line  m =0</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

<em>Given points are ( 7,7) and (7,-8)</em>

<em>Slope of the line</em>

<em>                      </em>m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }<em />

<em>                     </em>m = \frac{-8-7 }{7-7  } = \frac{-15}{0} = infinite<em />

<em>                   m = ∞</em>

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

Given points are (-6,7) and (9,7)

<em>Slope of the line</em>

<em>                      </em>m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }<em />

<em>                     </em>m = \frac{7-7  }{9-(-6)  } = \frac{0}{15} = 0<em />

<em>Slope of the line  m =0</em>
