Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant comes from the quadratic formula. We use the discriminant to determine, before factoring, what types of solutions we can expect when we do factor. In the quadratic formula, the discriminant is under a square root sign. If the number under a square root sign is negative (meaning the discriminant is negative), we will not have real number solutions because you can't have a negative number under a square root. So a is your choice.

Many states assess the skills of their students in various grades. One program that is available for this purpose is the Nationa
Nataly [62]

Answer:

A score of 314 is needed to be in the top 25% of students who take this exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one of the tests provided by the NAEP assesses the reading skills of twelfth-grade students. In recent years, the national mean score was 289 and the standard deviation was 37.

Let X = <u><em>scores of the tests provided by the NAEP</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                           Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = national mean score = 289

           \sigma = standard deviation = 37

Now, we have to find how high a score is needed to be in the top 25% of students who take this exam, that means;

            P(X > x) = 0.25     {where x is the required score}

            P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{x-289}{37} ) = 0.25

            P(Z > \frac{x-289}{37} ) = 0.25

In the z table, the critial value of z that represents the top 25% of the area is given as 0.6745, that is;

                        \frac{x-289}{37}=0.6745

                        {x-289}=0.6745\times 37

                        x = 289 + 24.96 = 313.96 ≈ 314

Hence, a score of 314 is needed to be in the top 25% of students who take this exam.

h(x)= \dfrac{1}{8} x^3 - x^2h(x)= 8 1 ​ x 3 −x 2 h, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, start fraction, 1, divided b
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function h(x)=\dfrac{1}{8}x^3-x^2

The average rate of change of the function h(x) over the interval a\le x\le b can be calculated using formula

\dfrac{h(b)-h(a)}{b-a}

In your case,

a=-2,\\ \\b=2,

so the average rate of change is

\dfrac{h(2)-h(-2)}{2-(-2)}\\ \\=\dfrac{(\frac{1}{8}\cdot 2^3-2^2)-(\frac{1}{8}\cdot (-2)^3-(-2)^2)}{4}\\ \\=\dfrac{(1-4)-(-1-4)}{4}\\ \\=\dfrac{-3+5}{4}\\ \\=\dfrac{2}{4}\\ \\=\dfrac{1}{2}

nignag [31]

Answer:

$46,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We just need to subtract all the annual payments from the salary to figure out her disposable income (which is the income remaining after deduction of taxes and social security charges).

So here's what we get

$60,000 - $3,000 - $5,000 - $6,000 = $46,000

<em>P.S. Hope it makes sense. If you have any questions, feel free to share them in the comment senction below. I'll be happy to help. Have a wonderful day!</em>

A tin of biscuits contains shortbread and choc-chip biscuits in the ratio 2:3 . The tin contains 80 biscuits. How many short-bre
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 80 biscuits inside the tin.

Also, they said that those biscuits are in the ratio

Short bread    :      Choc - chip

          2          :        3

Altogether there are 5 shares ( 2 + 3)

And now you can divide 80 by 5 to find how many biscuits contain per a share.

80 ÷ 5 = 16

In the question, they asked us to to find the number of short biscuits inside the tin.

Let us find that.

There are 2 shares for short bread biscuits.

So,

Number of short biscuits ⇒ 2 × 16

                                         ⇒ 32

Hope this helps you :-)
