Find the zeros of each function by using the quadratic formula

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]4 years ago
7 0
Often, the simplest way to solve "ax2 + bx + c = 0" for the value of x is to factor the quadratic, set each factor equal to zero, and then solve each factor. But sometimes the quadratic is too messy, or it doesn't factor at all, or you just don't feel like factoring. While factoring may not always be successful, the Quadratic Formula can always find the solution.

The Quadratic Formula uses the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers; they are the "numerical coefficients" of the quadratic equation they've given you to solve.

Which expression represents the same solution as (4) (negative 3 and StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction? (4) (negative 3) + (4)
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

(4)(-3\dfrac{1}{8})

We need an expression Which represents the same solution as the given expression.

It can be written as

(4)[-(3+\dfrac{1}{8})]

(4)[-3-\dfrac{1}{8}]

(4)(-3)+(4)(-\dfrac{1}{8})

Since (4)(-3)+(4)(-\dfrac{1}{8}) is equivalent to given equation, therefore this equation represents the same solution as the given expression.

Hence, option B is correct.

A manufacturer has developed a new fishing line, which the company claims has a mean breaking strength of 15 kilograms with a st
stich3 [128]

Answer: a) α = 0.7927, b) at u=14.8, β = 0.99767, at u = 14.9, β= 0.2073

Step-by-step explanation: a) from the question, u= population mean = 15 and x= sample mean = 14.9

σ = population standard deviation = 0.5, n = sample size = 50.

We get the probability of committing a type 1 error by using the z score.

Z = x - u/(σ/√n)

Z = 14.9 - 15/(0.5/√50)

Z = - 0.1/0.0707

Z = - 1.41.

By checking the the probabilistic value attached to this z score using a standard normal distribution table whose area is to the left of the distribution, we have that

P(z=-1.41) = 0.7927.

Hence the probability of committing a type 1 error is 0.7927

b)

at x = 14.8 ( I let ua=x=14.8)

Z = x - u/(σ/√n)

Z = 14.8 - 15/(0.5/√50)

Z = - 0.2/ 0.0707

Z = - 2.83

Using the standard normal distribution table, we have that

P(z=-2.38) = 0.00233.

But α + β = 1

Where α= probability of committing a type 1 error

β = probability of committing a type 2 error.

β = 1 - α

β = 1 - 0.00233

β = 0.99767

At x = 14.9

Z = x - u/(σ/√n)

Z = 14.9 - 15/(0.5/√50)

Z = - 0.1/0.0707

Z = - 1.41.

P(z=-1.41) = 0.7927.

α = 0.7927.

But α + β = 1

β = 1 - 0.7927

β = 0.2073
