Answer:

f(x)=x²-2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=ax²+bx+c

f(0)=-2 => c= -2

f(1)= -3=> a+b-2=-3; a+b=-1

f(2)= -2; 4a+2b-2=-2; 4a+2b=0; 2a+b=0

a+b=-1 and 2a+b=0

2a+b-(a+b)=0+1=> a=1

2+b=0=> b=-2

f(x)=x²-2x-2

Find the length of side x in the simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use either angle, but I'm going to use the one on the bottom. So, in order to find x, we need to use tangent. One side we know is the adjacent, and the side we don't know is the opposite, therefore we need tangent. Here's the equation:

$tan(45)=\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}$

Obviously, we can't have a root in our denominator, so we need to get rid of it somehow. Here's how:

We multiply the denominator of the fraction by $\sqrt{2}$ . $\sqrt{2}$ multiplied by itself is simply 2. Try it! We also want to multiply the numerator by $\sqrt{2}$ , but there isn't really a number we can use with that, so we'll just add it to the side. The equation you have now is:

$tan(45)=\frac{x\sqrt{2} }{2}$

Let's try to work this out now. Since the denominator is 2, we have to multiply both sides by it to find x.

$\frac{x\sqrt{2} }{2*2} =x\sqrt{2}$

$tan(45)*2=2$

We can plug 2 in for the x in the numerator now:

$\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{2}$

2 and 2 cancel out, so you get 1 in both the numerator and denominator. That's how we get our answer of $x=\sqrt{2}$

Also, because this is a 45-45-90 triangle, you don't really have to do all that work. If it's a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs should be the same length. :)

A private and a public university are located in the same city. For the private university, 1038 alumni were surveyed and 647 sa

Answer:

The difference in the sample proportions is not statistically significant at 0.05 significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Significance level is missing, it is α=0.05

Let p(public) be the proportion of alumni of the public university who attended at least one class reunion

p(private) be the proportion of alumni of the private university who attended at least one class reunion

Hypotheses are:

$H_{0}$ : p(public) = p(private)
