What is the sum of the zeros of the function: y= x^2 - 5x + 6?

Mathematics
1 answer:
yawa3891 [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are the values of x for which y = 0

Quadratic formula

x = [5 ± √(5² – 4·1·6)] / [2·1]

 = [5 ± √1] / 2

 = [5 ± 1] /2

 = 2, 3

sum of zeros = 5

​Which values are solutions to the inequality? ​ ​5r≤6r−8​ ​ Select each correct answer. r = 7 r = 8 r = 9 r = 10
Ratling [72]

Answer:

r = 8,9,10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is :

​5r≤6r−8​  ...(1)

We need to find the value of r.

Subtracting 5r to both sides of the inequality .

​5r-5r≤6r-5r−8

0≤r−8

r ≥ 8

Hence, the values of r are 8,9,10.

Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be
Travka [436]

Answer:

D = L/k

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A represents the amount of litter present in grams per square meter as a function of time in years, the net rate of litter present is

dA/dt = in flow - out flow

Since litter falls at a constant rate of L  grams per square meter per year, in flow = L

Since litter decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, the total amount of litter decay per square meter per year is A × k = Ak = out flow

So,

dA/dt = in flow - out flow

dA/dt = L - Ak

Separating the variables, we have

dA/(L - Ak) = dt

Integrating, we have

∫-kdA/-k(L - Ak) = ∫dt

1/k∫-kdA/(L - Ak) = ∫dt

1/k㏑(L - Ak) = t + C

㏑(L - Ak) = kt + kC

㏑(L - Ak) = kt + C'      (C' = kC)

taking exponents of both sides, we have

L - Ak = e^{kt + C'} \\L - Ak = e^{kt}e^{C'}\\L - Ak = C"e^{kt}      (C" = e^{C'} )\\Ak = L - C"e^{kt}\\A = \frac{L}{k}  - \frac{C"}{k} e^{kt}

When t = 0, A(0) = 0 (since the forest floor is initially clear)

A = \frac{L}{k}  - \frac{C"}{k} e^{kt}\\0 = \frac{L}{k}  - \frac{C"}{k} e^{k0}\\0 = \frac{L}{k}  - \frac{C"}{k} e^{0}\\\frac{L}{k}  = \frac{C"}{k} \\C" = L

A = \frac{L}{k}  - \frac{L}{k} e^{kt}

So, D = R - A =

D = \frac{L}{k} - \frac{L}{k}  - \frac{L}{k} e^{kt}\\D = \frac{L}{k} e^{kt}

when t = 0(at initial time), the initial value of D =

D = \frac{L}{k} e^{kt}\\D = \frac{L}{k} e^{k0}\\D = \frac{L}{k} e^{0}\\D = \frac{L}{k}

The following set of coordinates most specifically represents which figure? (−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4) (6 points) Paralle
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are A(−5, 6), B(−1, 8), C(3, 6), D(−1, 4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of AB.

|AB|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(8-6)^2}

|AB|=\sqrt{16+4}

|AB|=\sqrt{20}

The length of AD is

|AD|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(6-4)^2}

|AD|=\sqrt{16+4}

|AD|=\sqrt{20}

The length of BC is:

|BC|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(8-6)^2}

|BC|=\sqrt{16+4}

|BC|=\sqrt{20}

The length of CD is

|CD|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(6-4)^2}

|CD|=\sqrt{16+4}

|CD|=\sqrt{20}

Since all sides are congruent the quadrilateral could be a rhombus or a square.

Slope of AB=\frac{8-6}{-1--5}=\frac{1}{2}

Slope of BC =\frac{8-6}{-1-3}=-\frac{1}{2}

Since the slopes of the adjacent sides are not negative reciprocals of each other, the quadrilateral cannot be  a square. It is a rhombus
