3x²-x-2=0

Δ=1+24=25 (Δ=b²-4ac)

x₁,₂= $\frac{1(+/-)\sqrt{25} }{6}$

x₁,₂= $\frac{1(+/-)5}{6}$

x1= $\frac{1+5}{6}$ =6/6=1

x2= $\frac{1-5}{6}$ = $\frac{-2}{3}$

x1=1

x2= $\frac{-2}{3}$

Ok So I an taking algebra 1 and this question is really confusing me.

V125BC [204]

You use the arithmetic sequence formula and input the information given to you.
tn = a + (n-1)d
t(56) is what your looking for so don't worry about the tn.
a is your first term,
a = 15.
n is the position of the term you are looking for, n = 56.
And d is the common difference, you find this by taking t2 and subtracting t1. t2=18 and t1=15.
d = 18 - 15 = 3
Inputting it all into the formula you get,
t(56) = 15 + (56-1)(3)
term 56 = 180.
You use this formula to find any term in a sequence provided you are given enough info. You can also manipulate it if you are asked to find something else like the first term(a), common difference(d) or term position(n). It just depends on what the question is asking and what information you are given. :)
Hope this helps!

PLS I need help, this is due today. thank u.

Here, you would complete it with the Pythagorean Theorem.

So, A^2 + B^2 = C^2

So 14^2 + B^2 = 14^2

This equals = B = 11.49

Find the obtuse angle the line y-2x=7 makes with the x- axis

Kazeer [188]

In analytical geometry, there are already derived equations to find the distance of lines and points as well as the angle made between two lines. As special case is when the other line is one of the coordinate axis. Then, the formula can be simplified to

tan θ =m, where m is the slope of the equation

In the next step, we also incorporate operations of calculus. Since the slope is equal to Δy/Δx, this is equivalent to dy/dx in calculus. Therefore, you can find the slope by differentiating the equation in terms of x.

<span>y-2x=7
y = 2x+7
dy/dx = 2 =m

So,

tan </span>θ = 2
θ = tan⁻¹(2)
θ = 63.43°

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.

BARSIC [14]

Look carefully at the first pair: (−3, 9), (−3, −5) Note that x does not change, tho' y does. This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined). The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.

Looking at the second pair: from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.

Third pair: as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis). The slope is undefined.

g You flip the coin 200 times and observed 80 Heads. Recall from the problem Hypothesis Testing: A Sample Data Set of Coin Flips

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to draw a conclusion from the data given, lets find out the p value using the t score and this will be used to make a conclusion.

If the p value is less than 0.05 then, we will reject the null but if otherwise we will fail to reject the null.

Using a p value calculator with a t score of 2.83, significance level 0.05 and the test is a two tailed test, the p value is 0.004655 which is less than 0.05 and the result is significant.

This we will reject the null hypothesis H0:p∗=1/2 for this data set.
