Solve 3x to the second power -2x-8=0 using an algebraic method

Mathematics
1 answer:
MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x=2\textrm{ or } x=-\frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation is given as:

3x^{2}-2x-8=0\\3x^{2}-6x+4x-8=0\\3x(x-2)+4(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(3x+4)=0\\\\x-2=0\textrm{ or }3x+4=0\\x-2+2=0+2 \textrm{ or }3x+4-4=0-4\\x=2\textrm{ or }3x=-4\\x=2\textrm{ or}\\x=-\frac{4}{3}

Therefore, the possible values of x are 2 and -\frac{4}{3}

Given the function f(x)=x2+2x+1, find: f(2b)
pashok25 [27]

I will do the first one only. The second question is done the same way.

Replace every x you see in the function with 2b and do the math.

f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1

Let x = 2b

f(2b) = (2b)^2 + 2(2b) + 1

f(2b) = 4b^2 + 4b + 1

Did you follow? That's all there is to it.

what is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line y – 4 = –2/3 (x – 6) and passes thr
velikii [3]
For perpendicular lines, m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(-2/3) = 3/2    [m1 = -2/3]

Required equation is y + 2 = 3/2(x + 2) => y + 2 = 3/2 x + 3 => y = 3/2 x + 1

Five busses are needed to transport 300 students. How many students can 7 busses transport?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

420 students

Step-by-step explanation: I first did 300/5 which got me 60, meaning that one bus could transport 60 students. Then you do 60*7 (60 is how many students on each bus, and 7 is how many buses there are) and get 420 students on 7 buses.

PLEASE HELP!!! Given angle circled dash=208° and a right triangle inscribed within a circle of radius 5, what is the value of x
natta225 [31]

Answer:

  -4.41

Step-by-step explanation:

208° is a 3rd-quadrant angle, so its x-coordinate will be negative. Your calculator can tell you that 5 times the cosine of this angle is -4.41, or you can refer to a diagram.

Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible cho
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a) attached below

b)  ( T,T )

c) The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

d) The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A) write down the game in matrix form

let: E = exit at the industry immediately

     T = exit at the end of the quarter

     N = exit at the end of the next quarter

matrix is attached below

B) weakly dominated strategies is ( T,T )

C) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria

The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

D ) Find the unique mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium

The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 ) since T is weakly dominated then the mixed strategy will be NE

Assume that P is the probability of firm 1 exiting immediately ( E )

and q is the probability of firm 1 staying till next term ( N ) ∴ q = 1 - P.

hence the expected utility of firm 2 choosing E = 0 while the expected utility of choosing N = 4p - 2q .

The expected utilities of E and N to firm 2 =

0 = 4p - 2q = 4p - 2 ( 1-p) = 6p -2 which means : p = 1/3 , q = 2/3
