find the equation of a cubic function whose graph passes through points (3,0) and (1,4) and is tangent to x-axis at the origin

Mathematics

Tomtit [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

y = -2x^2(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Preliminary Remark</u></em>

If a cubic is tangent to the x axis at 0,0

Then the equation must be related to y = a*x^2(x - h)

<em><u>(3,0)</u></em>

If the cubic goes through the point (3,0), then the equation will become

0 = a*3^2(3 - h)

0 = 9a (3 - h)

0 = 27a - 9ah

from which h = 3

<em><u>From the second point, we get</u></em>

4 = ax^2(x - 3)

4 = a(1)^2(1 - 3)

4 = a(-2)

a = 4 / - 2

a = -2

<em><u>Answer</u></em>

y = -2x^2(x - 3)

Determine the quotient: (22.8 × 10–3) ÷ (5.7 × 10–6)
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to doing this problem properly lies in knowing and following order of operations rules.

Here we must perform mult. and div.  before  addition and subtr., but even before that we must do all work enclosed in parentheses first.

(22.8 × 10–3) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, and then subtracting 3:

(228-3) = 225

and

(5.7 × 10–6) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, then subtracting 6:

(570-6) = 564.

Finally, we divide 225 by 564, obtaining 0.399 (after rounding off to three decimal places).

Philip is recording what kind of shoes people are wearing at the mall. Out of the 12 people he has seen, 6 are wearing high heel
Ronch [10]

Answer: 5 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to set up a proportion. 6/12=x/10. To solve, cross-multiply and divide. Multiply 6 and 10 (6*10=60) and divide by 12 (60/12=5).

You can also find that 6/12 is equal to 1/2 by dividing each side by 6. Then multiply 10 by 1/2 (or divide 10 by 2) to get the final answer of 5 people.

Bob and will toss two coins. if both coins come up heads, bob pays will $6. will pays bob $2 otherwise. what is the expected val
Helga [31]
Each coin has a head and a tail, therefore when you toss two coins, you have 4 possible outcomes. You have two heads in only one of these outcomes, while the other three have at least one tail.

The expected value of the game is the price paid/gained times the probability of loss/victory:

E = (1 / 4) · (-6) + (3 / 4) · (2)
   = -3 / 2 + 3 / 2
   = 0

Bob expects to tie with Will.
