Answer:
Solutions are 2, -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
or 2, -1 + 1.58 i and -1 - 1.58i
(where the last 2 are equal to nearest hundredth).
Step-by-step explanation:
The real solution is x = 2:-
x^3 - 8 = 0
x^3 = 8
x = cube root of 8 = 2
Note that a cubic equation must have a total of 3 roots ( real and complex in this case). We can find the 2 complex roots by using the following identity:-
a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).
Here a = x and b = 2 so we have
(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0
To find the complex roots we solve x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0:-
Using the quadratic formula x = [-2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2
= -1 +/- (sqrt( -10)) / 2
= -1 + 0.5 sqrt10 i and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
Area of a triangle:
A (triangle )= 4 · 6 / 2 = 12 ft²
150 - 12 = 138 ft² ( the maximum area of the rectangle )
L = ?
W = 6 ft
A ( rectangle ) = L · W
L · 6 = 138
L = 138 : 6 = 23 ft.
Answer: the maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can build is 23 ft.
Answer:
Definitely
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to completely surround a circle, you need six circles to do that while here in the question it is mentioned that currently there are only five circles surrounding the circle, hence there is enough room to easily fit one more circle.
I just hope that you are satisfied with the answer, Best of Luck.
Answer:
Continuous random variables: c and e
Discrete random variables: a, b, d
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to identify whether the random variable is discrete or continuous.
- A discrete variable is a variable whose value is obtained by counting.
- A continuous random variable X takes all values in a given interval of numbers.
- Thus, a continuous variable can have values in decimals but a discrete random variable cannot take values in decimals.
a. The number of statistics students now reading a book.
Discrete random variable since number of students cannot take decimal values.
b. The number of textbook authors now sitting at a computer.
Discrete random variable since number of textbooks cannot be expressed in decimals but counted.
c. The exact time it takes to evaluate 27 plus 72.
It is a continuous random variable as it may take all values within an interval of time.
d. The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made.
It is a discrete random variable since the number of throws can always be whole number.
e. The time it takes to fly from City Upper A to City Upper B.
Time is a continuous random variable.
