Which of the following is a zero of the equation ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\frac{4x^2-49}{2x+7}

In order to do this you have to recognize that 4 = 2^2\\49 = 7^2

Then you can use the difference of squares formula:

a^2 -b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

In this case a=2x and b = 7 so the numerator is:

f(x)=\frac{4x^2-49}{49}= \frac{(2x+7)(2x-7)}{2x+7}

Notice that we have a 2x+7 up top and bottom of the fraction so these factors cancel out and we're left with:

f(x)=2x-7

Since we're looking for the zero, this means we're looking for the x -intercept.  Any x - intercept will have y = 0 hence why it's often called the "zero".  In this case f(x) is a more formal way of writing y so you can think of f(x)=y.

So if y=0 we have:

0=2x-7\\7=2x\\\frac{7}{2}=x\\

So:

x=\frac{7}{2}

The numbers of regular season wins for 10 football teams in a given season are given below. Determine the range, mean, variance,
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

We have the following data set:

2,7,15,3,12,9,15,8,3,10

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set, to find the range, order the data set from least to greatest.

2,3,3,7,8,9,10,12,15,15

Then,

\begin{gathered} \text{Range}=15-2 \\ \text{Range}=13 \end{gathered}

Mean is represented by the following expression:

\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of all data points}}{Number\text{ of data po}ints}\text{Mean}=\frac{84}{10}=8.4

Population variance formula looks like this:

\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{\sum^{}_{}(x-\mu)^2}{N} \\ \text{where,} \\ \sigma^2=\text{population variance} \\ \sum ^{}_{}=addition\text{ of} \\ x=\text{each value} \\ \mu=population\text{ mean} \\ N=\text{ number of values in the population} \end{gathered}

Then, substituting:

\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{(2-14)^2+(3-14)^2+\cdots+(15-14)^2}{10} \\ \sigma^2=20.44 \end{gathered}

For the standard deviation:

\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt[]{\frac{\sum ^{}_{}(x-\mu)^2}{N}} \\ s=4.521 \end{gathered}
