Answer:

The only integer solution is n1=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer by using the following equation applied to quadratic polynomials with the form an^{2}+bn+c=0:

n=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

For our case 2n^{2}-3n-2=0, a=2, b=-3, and c=-2, so:

n=\frac{-(-3)\±\sqrt{(-3)^{2}-(4*2*(-2))}}{2*2}

n=\frac{3\±\sqrt{9+16}}{4}

n=\frac{3\±5}{4}

n1=\frac{3+5}{4}=2

n2=\frac{3-5}{4}=-0.5

In conclusion, although there are 2 roots (n1, n2), only one of them is an integer, which is n1=2.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0. After adding B2 to both sides of the equation in step 4,
Katena32 [7]
2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0..divide by 2
x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
x^2 + 4x = 6...add 4 to both sides of the equation
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 6 + 4
(x + 2)^2 = 10....<== ur constant is 10
x + 2 = (+-)sqrt 10
x = -2 (+ - ) sqrt 10

x = -2 + sqrt 10
x = -2 - sqrt 10

Answer: 3424.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data : 378, 361, 350, 375, 200, 391, 375, 368,  321

Number of data values = 9

Mean :\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum^n_{i=1} x_i}{n}

\\\\=\dfrac{378+361+350+375+200+391+375+368+321}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{3119}{9}\approx346.56

Variance = \dfrac{\sum^n_{i=1} (x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n-1}

\sum^n_{i=1} (x_i-\overline{x})^2 = (31.44)^2+(14.44)^2+(3.44)^2+(28.44)^2+(-146.56)^2+(44.44)^2+(28.44)^2+(21.44)^2+(-25.56)^2\\\\=27394.2224

Variance = \dfrac{27394.2224}{8}=3424.2775\approx3424.28
