Find the x-intercepts for the quadratic function y= -1/2(x+3)^2 +4

1 answer:

irina1246 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

x= -3 +√2 ≈ -0.1716, and x = - 3 -2√2 ≈ -5.8284

Step-by-step explanation:

y= -1/2(x+3)² +4

For x -intercept, y = 0.

0 = - 1/2(x+3)² + 4 /*(-2)

0 = (x+3)² - 8

(x+3)² = 8

√(x+3)² = +/-√8

x+3 = +/-√8

x = - 3+/- 2√2

x= -3 +√2 ≈ -0.1716, and x = - 3-2√2 ≈ -5.8284

Suppose three marksmen shoot at a target. The ith marksman fires ni times, hitting the target each time with probability Pi, ind

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Distribution is NOT binomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be a binomial distribution, the probability of success for each individual trial must be the same. Since each marksman hits the target with probability Pi, the probability of success (hitting the target) is not necessarily equal for all trials. Therefore, the distribution is not binomial.

In this case, the distribution would only be binomial if Pi was the same for every "ith" marksman.

Mrs. Ishimitsu is installing a rubber bumper around the edge of her coffee table. The dimensions of the rectangular table are (2

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$2x^2+8x-30$ represents the total perimeter of the table, and if x = 3 the lentgh of entire rubber bumper is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is defined as the sum of sides.

For a rectangle having dimension length 'L' and breadth 'B' Since, rectangle has two sides equal.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length + breadth )

Here, given rectangle has dimension

Length = $2x^2-16$ and breadth = $-x^2+4x+1$

Thus, perimeter of rectangle = $2(2x^2-16+(-x^2+4x+1))$

$=2(2x^2-16-x^2+4x+1)$

$=2(x^2+4x-15)$

$=2x^2+8x-30$

Thus, perimeter of rectangle is $2x^2+8x-30$ ........(1)

Perimeter of rectangle , when x = 3,

Put x= 3 in (1) ,

$2x^2+8x-30\Rightarrow 2(3)^2+8(3)-30 \Rightarrow 18+24-30=12$

Thus, $2x^2+8x-30$ represents the total perimeter of the table, and if x = 3 the lentgh of entire rubber bumper is 12 feet.

HELP PLEASE!! Victoria and Jennifer walk at a different averagr speed. Victoris walks at an average speed of 1 1/5 miles in 1/2

Zanzabum

Answer:

Jennifer

4/15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the two speeds in miles per hour.

Victoria:

1 1/5 mile per 1/2 hour = (1 1/5 mile)/(1/2 hour) = 2 2/5 mph = 2.4 mph

Jennifer:

2/3 mile per 1/4 hour = (2/3 mile)/(1/4 hour) = 8/3 mph = 2 2/3 mph

2 2/3 mph > 2 2/5 mph, so Jennifer's speed is greater.

The difference in speeds in mph is:

2 2/3 - 2 2/5 = 2 10/15 - 2 6/15 = 4/15
