Answer:

y = -1/2 is a horizontal line; a line with no slope. With that said, it is linear.

Find the number of real zeros of

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the determinant to determine the type of zeros

Given

f(x) = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 ) ← in standard form, then the discriminant is

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then 2 real and distinct zeros

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then 2 real and equal zeros

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then 2 complex zeros

Given

f(x) = (x - 1)² + 1 ← expand factor and simplify

= x² - 2x + 1 + 1

= x² - 2x + 2 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = - 2, c = 2, then

b² - 4ac = (- 2)² - (4 × 1 × 2) = 4 - 8 = - 4

Since b² - 4ac < 0 then the zeros are complex

Thus P(x) has no real zeros

In Applied Life Data Analysis (Wiley, 1982), Wayne Nelson presents the breakdown time of an insulating fluid between electrodes

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The sample mean is $\bar{x}=14.371$ min.

The sample standard deviation is $\sigma = 18.889$ min.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data set:

$\begin{array}{cccccccc}0.15&0.82&0.81&1.44&2.70&3.28&4.00&4.70\\4.96&6.49&7.25&8.03&8.40&12.15&31.89&32.47\\33.79&36.80&72.92&&&&&\end{array}$

The mean of a data set is commonly known as the average. You find the mean by taking the sum of all the data values and dividing that sum by the total number of data values.

The formula for the mean of a sample is

$\bar{x} = \frac{{\sum}x}{n}$

where, $n$ is the number of values in the data set.

$\bar{x}=\frac{0.15+0.82+0.81+1.44+2.7+3.28+4+4.7+4.96+6.49+7.25+8.03+8.4+12.15+31.89+32.47+33.79+36.80+72.92}{19}\\\\\bar{x}=14.371$

The standard deviation measures how close the set of data is to the mean value of the data set. If data set have high standard deviation than the values are spread out very much. If data set have small standard deviation the data points are very close to the mean.

To find standard deviation we use the following formula

$\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum{\left(x_i - \overline{x}\right)^2 }}{n-1} }$

The mean of a sample is $\bar{x}=14.371$ .

Create the below table.

Find the sum of numbers in the last column to get.

$\sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2} = 6422.0982$

$\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum{\left(x_i - \overline{x}\right)^2 }}{n-1} } = \sqrt{ \frac{ 6422.0982 }{ 19 - 1} } \approx 18.889$

Which of the following best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Angles formed by the segment $\overline{XZ}$ in the triangles ΔWXZ, and ΔXYZ, are equal and the given corresponding sides are proportional.

The option that best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>

Reasons:

The proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is presented as follows;

Segment $\overline{XZ}$ is perpendicular to segment $\overline{WY}$

∠WZX and ∠XZY are right angles by definition of $\overline{XZ}$ perpendicular to $\overline{WY}$

∠WZX in ΔWXZ = ∠XZY in ΔXYZ = 90° (definition)

$\displaystyle \frac{WZ}{XZ} = \frac{16}{12} = \mathbf{ \frac{4}{3}}$

$\displaystyle \mathbf{ \frac{XZ}{ZY}} = \frac{12}{9} = \frac{4}{3}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9}$ , which gives, $\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{WZ}{XZ} }= \frac{XZ}{ZY}$

Given that two sides of ΔWXZ are proportional to two sides of ΔXYZ, and

that the included angles between the two sides, ∠WZX and ∠XZY are

congruent, the two triangles, ΔWXZ and ΔXYZ are similar by Side-Angle-

Side, SAS, similarity postulate.

The option that best completes the proof is therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9}$ which is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>
