Answer:

x = 2, and 6

x = 2 , 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function to analyze is: y = -x^2+8x-12

In order to find where the corresponding parabola intercepts the x axis, we set it equal to zero (y = 0):

y = -x^2+8x-12\\0 = -x^2+8x-12\\x^2-8x+12=0

This equation is easy to solve by factoring. We look for a air of integer numbers whose product equals the constant term "12", and whose combinig renders the coefficient of the middle term of the trinomial "-8".

The two such numbers are "-2" and "-6". We use them to split the middle term, and then solve by factoring by grouping:

x^2-8x+12=0\\x^2-2x-6x+12=0\\(x^2-2x)+(-6x+12)=0\\x(x-2)-6(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(x-6)=0

For the product of two factors to render zero, we need either one to be a zero.This means that (x-2)=0 (that is x = 2), or (x-6)=0 (that is x = 6).

So, there are two x-intercepts: x= 2, and 6

Answer: 54 degrees
explanation: i haven’t learned this yet but it looks like those two angles are complementary angles so the other one would have to 54 so it adds up to 90 degrees

In how many ways could 12 people be
laila [671]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are total 12 People

Person 1, Person 2,3,4,5,6,7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 at a round table

12 Chairs: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12                                                                                

Let chairs 1 and 2 be next to each other

Person 1 is at chair 1 and Person 2 is at chair 2

The rest of the people on 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 - can sit in 10! ways

Next, Person 1 and Person 2 change their positions;

Person 1 is sitting at 2 and Person 2 is sitting at 1

The rest of the people on 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 - can be rearranged in 10! ways

Therefore, total number of ways in which Person 1 and Person 2 are next to each other is: 2*10! = 7257600

As we then have to find in how many ways they are not sitting next to each other; subtract 7257600 from the total number of possible arrangements.

In circular permutation,

Total number of arrangements of n people = (n-1)!

Here the number of people is 12

Arrangement = (12-1)! = 11!= 39916800

Therefore, the number of ways Person 1 and Person 2 are not next to each other = 39916800 - 7257600 = 2659200

There is another way to rank the difficulty of test questions using Networks: Each student gives scores for each problem, then w
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Truly, on a single student level, the Massey method can be applied i.e. problems are ranked according to their level of difficulty for a single student.

Let us say there are 4 problems P1, P2, P3, P4 set in an exam where a student has to solve any two.

Assuming student 1 solves and scores more in P1 than in P2, r1>r2

student 2  more in P1 than P4 r1>r4

student 3 more in P2 than P4 r2>r4

student 4 more in P4 than P3 r4>r3

student 5 more in P2 than P3 r2>r3

and such many more cases.

then the Massey's model can be written as

P1 P2 P3  P4

\begin{bmatrix} 1 &-1 &0 &0\\ 1 &-1 &0 &0 \\ 0 &1 & 0 &-1 \\ 0 & 0 &-1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}.

\times \begin{bmatrix}r1 \\r2 \\r3 \\r4 \end{bmatrix}  =

\begin{bmatrix}y_{1} \\ y_{2} \\ y_{3} \\ y_{4}\\ y_{5}\end{bmatrix}.            

If Pi gives more score than Pj, the entry below Pi shall be 1 and below Pj shall be -1.

The rest of the entries shall be 0.

r1,r2,r3,r4,r5 are ranks .  

There may be more rows depending upon more combination of 2 problems.

Should in case more than one student solve the same combination and get scores in the same order, for instance, 12 students solve P1 and P2, for 7 of them r1>r2, then their scores can be averaged.

Normally, such systems are overdetermined, i.e., more rows than the number of unknowns, then it is solved by the Least square method ., as there shall be no a solution with least error is found out.

The overall ranking, in reverse order, shall give the ranking according to increasing difficulty.

HELP TIMED QUIZ AND I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER!!
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

18 women

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

5/8 of the orchestra are male player, and 3/8 are female.

5/8 is a 1/4 more than 3/8.

If 12 is 1/4 of x, then x is 48.

Multiply 48 by 3/8 to get your answer.

48*3/8 = 144/8 = 18 women

Solve the equation by expressing each side as a power of the same base and then equating exponents.
alexdok [17]
1/27 = 3^(-3)

3^(3x+6) = 3^(-3)

When bases are the same, all you need to do is set the exponents equal to each other:

3x+6 = -3
3x = -9
x = -3
