Find the zeroes of the following equation:

Mathematics
1 answer:
weqwewe [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  \bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}

                both zeros are irrational numbers

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}

Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean 60 and standard deviation 16. Compute the probability P(X &
elixir [45]

Answer:

P(X < 80) = 0.89435.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 60, \sigma = 16

P(X < 80)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 80. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{80 - 60}{16}

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a pvalue of 0.89435.

So

P(X < 80) = 0.89435.

How can i solve it formula y= mx + b
Serjik [45]

Answer:

y = 4/3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

you are given b

so y = mx -4

you can look at the graph and see the slope from there. like the y-intercept and the x-intercept

(0,-4) and (3,0)

slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1

and so you do -4-0/0-3

-4/-3.

so your slope formula would be

y = 4/3x - 4

Which polynomial could have the following graph?
Elis [28]

 

The graph shows the solutions:

x1 = -3    ⇒  x + 3 = 0

x2 = 1     ⇒  x - 1 = 0

x3 = 5     ⇒  x - 5 = 0

The polynomial follows:   y = (x + 3)(x - 1)(x - 5)

.
