We can use quadratic formula to determine the roots of the given quadratic equation.

The quadratic formula is:

$x= \frac{-b+- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$

b = coefficient of x term = -11
a = coefficient of squared term = 2
c = constant term = 15

Using the values, we get:
$x= \frac{11+- \sqrt{121-4(2)(15)} }{2(2)} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{11+-1}{4} \\ \\ 
x=3, x= 2.5$

So, the correct answer to this question are option B and D

What is the solution for the system of equations? y=−x+4 y= x−2

MissTica

Answer:

(3, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - x + 4 → (1)

y = x - 2 → (2)

Substitute y = x - 2 into (1)

x - 2 = - x + 4 ( add x to both sides )

2x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

y = 3 - 2 = 1

solution is (3, 1 )

Infinite over E n=1 4(0.5)^n-1

yan [13]

Answer:

S = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

An infinite geometric series is defined as limit of partial sum of geometric sequences. Therefore, to find the infinite sum, we have to find the partial sum first then input limit approaches infinity.

However, fortunately, the infinite geometric series has already set up for you. It’s got the formula for itself which is:

$\displaystyle \large{\lim_{n\to \infty} S_n = \dfrac{a_1}{1-r}}$

We can also write in summation notation rather S-term as:

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_1r^{n-1} = \dfrac{a_1}{1-r}}$

Keep in mind that these only work for when |r| < 1 or else it will diverge.

Also, how fortunately, the given summation fits the formula pattern so we do not have to do anything but simply apply the formula in.

$\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty 4(0.5)^{n-1} = \dfrac{4}{1-0.5}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty 4(0.5)^{n-1} = \dfrac{4}{0.5}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{\sum_{n=1}^\infty 4(0.5)^{n-1} = 8}$

Therefore, the sum will converge to 8.

The space shuttle flight control system called PASS (Primary Avionics Software Set) uses four independent computers working in p

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$f_X(k)=\binom{4}{k}0.003^k0.997^{4-k}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that a <em>probability mass function</em> defined on a discrete random variable X is just a function that gives the probability that the random variable equals a certain value k

$f_X(k)=P(X=k)$

In this case we have the event

“The computer will ask for a roll to the left when a roll to the right is appropriate” with a probability of 0.003.

Then we have 2 possible events, either the computer is right or not.

Since we have 4 computers in parallel, the situation could be modeled with a binomial distribution and the probability mass function

$f_X(k)=\binom{4}{k}0.003^k0.997^{4-k}$

This gives the probability that k computers are wrong at the same time.
