Answer:

(-2.95,0)

x = -2.95 is the zero of the function.                                                      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x) = 1.5x + 3(x-3) + 5.5(x+7)

We have to find the zero of the function.

Zero of function:

  • It is the value where the function have a value zero.
  • (a,0)  such that f(a) = 0

We can find zero of the function in the following manner:

f(x) = 1.5x + 3(x-3) + 5.5(x+7) = 0\\1.5x + 3x -9 + 5.5x + 38.5 = 0\\(1.5x + 3x + 5.5x) + (38.5-9) = 0\\10x + 29.5 = 0\\10x = -29.5\\x = -2.95            

Thus, x = -2.95 is the zero of the function.

In a doctor's waiting room, there are 14 seats in a row. Eight people are waiting to be seated. Three of the 8 are in one family
lianna [129]
There are 14 chairs and  8 people to be seated. But among the 8. three will be seated together:

So 5 people and (3) could be considered as 6 entities:

Since the order matters, we have to use permutation:

¹⁴P₆ = (14!)/(14-6)! = 2,162,160, But the family composed of 3 people can permute among them in 3! ways or 6 ways. So the total number of permutation will be ¹⁴P₆  x 3! 

2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960 ways.

Another way to solve this problem is as follow:

5 + (3) people are considered (for the time being) as 6 entities:

The 1st has a choice among 14 ways
The 2nd has a choice among 13 ways
The 3rd has a choice among 12 ways
The 4th has a choice among 11 ways
The 5th has a choice among 10 ways
The 6th has a choice among 9ways

So far there are 14x13x12x11x10x9 = 2,162,160 ways
But the 3 (that formed one group) could seat among themselves in 3!
or 6 ways:

Total number of permutation = 2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960

Find
Westkost [7]

Answer:

dy/dx = -b/a cot α

Step-by-step explanation:

x² / a² + y² / b² = 1

Take derivative with respect to x.

2x / a² + 2y / b² dy/dx = 0

2y / b² dy/dx = -2x / a²

dy/dx = -b²x / (a²y)

Substitute:

dy/dx = -b²a cos α / (a²b sin α)

dy/dx = -b cos α / (a sin α)

dy/dx = -b/a cot α

ALGEBRA 1 HELP URGENT!!
butalik [34]
Here, Sequence : -2, -6, -18, -54
Common Ratio = a₂/a₁ = -6/-2 = 3
As the expression is in negative sign, it's sequence will be -3ˣ
Where x = number of terms in the sequence [ By this rule, you can calculate the unknown nth number]

In short, Option C is your answer!!!!

Let me know, if you have some doubt.
