How to find the discriminant of

Mathematics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
6 0

the discriminant   b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0


13x^2-16x = x^2 -x


we need to get in it the standard form


subtract x^2 from each side


12x^2 -16x = -x


add x to each side


12x^2 -15x = 0


12x^2 -15x -0 =0


a=12 b=-15 c=0


b^2 -4ac


the discriminant = b^2


b^2 = (-15)2 = 225

Explain what is wrong with each of the following randomization procedures, and describe how you would do the randomization corre
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A.)

The problem with the here is that we might have introduced bias into our sample by failing to randomize the assignment of gender. By pacing the male gender in the treatment group and females into the control group, this might spring up a spurious association in our experiment as a result of a possible confounding variable, gender. Therefore, assignment of subject shouldn't be on the basis of gender.

2.)

Using a coin toss in placing subjects into groups will give a good random assignment, however, since only ten subjects are available and of which 5 will be placed into each group, there is no certainty that there will be equal number of heads and tails during the 10 flips. Alternatively, a random selection of the name of the 10 subjects could be chosen from a raffle.

3.)

Each batch of rat might be homogenous and hence will affect our experiment and definitely our conclusion. It would be best to assign rats from each batch to all treatment groups in other to obtain a good random design

a box contains 5 plain pencils and 5 pens. a second box contains 7 color pencils and 5 crayons. one item from each box is chosen
Ket [755]
First box: \dfrac{pen}{total}=\dfrac{5}{10}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Second box: \dfrac{crayon}{total}=\dfrac{5}{12}

Multiply them:

\dfrac{1}{2}*\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{5}{24}

The probabilityis \dfrac{5}{24}

Determine the equation of a circle with a center at (–4, 0) that passes through the point (–2, 1) by following the steps below.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Radius length: √5

Standard Form (Equation): (x + 4)^2 + y^2 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will determine the radius;

Center: (-4, 0)

Point on Circumference: (-2, 1)

d = √(-2 - (-4))^2 + (1 - 0)^2 = √(2)^2 + (1)^2

= √4 + 1 = √5

Therefore the radius is of length √5

Now the equation of a circle is in the form ((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2) = r^2. The center is in the form (h,k) and r is the radius. Given this our equation would be (x - (-4))^2 + (y - 0)^2 = (√5)^2, or [simplified] (x + 4)^2 + y^2 = 5.
