If one of the roots of the equation x²- 4x + k=0exceeds the other by 2, then find the roots and determine the value of k

Mathematics
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]2 years ago

Answer:

roots: 1 and 3

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 roots: p and p+2

(x-p) (x-p-2) = x² - 4x + k

x² -2px -2x + p² + 2p = x² - 2 (p+1)x + (p² + 2p) = x² -4x + k

-2 (p+1) = -4

p+1 = 2

p = 1   ... root 1

p' = 1+2 = 3   ... root 2

k = p² + 2p = 3

check: (x-1) (x-3) = x² - 4x + 3 = x² - 4x + k

14. 
Angles 4 and 6 are supplementary, because they are on the same line. Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, and a line must be 180 degrees.

15.
Angles 1 and 8 are congruent, because they are alternate exterior angles

16.
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 7 - 2 / 4 - 5
m = 5 / -1
m = -5

17.
m = 3 - 3 / 7 - (-5)
m = 0 / 12
m = 0

18.
m = 1 - (-2) / 5 - (-4)
m = 3 / 9
m = 1/3

19.
A = (0, 3) - B = (3,0)
m = 0 - 3 / 3 - 0
m = -3 / 3
<em>m = -1</em>
C = (0, -2) - D = (4, 2)
m = 2 - (-2) / 4 - 0
m = 4 / 4
<em>m = 1</em>
Perpendicular, because the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

20.
E = (1, 2) - F = (0, 0)
m = 0 - 2 / 0 - 1
m = -2 / -1
<em>m = 2</em>
G = (1, -3) - H = (3, 0) 
m = 0 - (-3) / 3 - 1
<em>m = 3 / 2</em>
Neither, because the slopes are different.

21.
I = (0, 1) - J = (2, -4)
m = -4 - 1 / 2 - 0
<em>m = -5/2</em>
K = (-1, -2) - L = (4, 0)
m = 0 - (-2) / 4 - (-1)
<em>m = 2/5</em>
Perpendicular, because the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

22.
M = (-2, 2) - N = (2, 2)
Horizontal line
<em>m = 0</em>
O = (3, 0) - P = (-3, 0)
Horizontal line
<em>m = 0
</em>Parallel, because the slopes are the same.
<em>
</em>23.
Angle 2 is congruent to angle 1 because of the alternate exterior angle theorem.
Angle 1 is congruent to angle 3 because of the vertical angle theorem.
Angle 2 is congruent to angle 3 because of substitution.
Line l is parallel to line m because the corresponding angles are congruent.

What proportion of a normal distribution corresponds to z scores greater than 1.04?
Tom [10]
We would need to look over the z table to find the area under the standard normal distribution curve to the left of z = 1.04. Then we'll subtract it from 1 to get the proportion of a normal distribution corresponding to z scores greater than 1.04.
By looking at the z table, we can see that the area to the left of z = 1.04 is 0.8508. So the proportion of a normal distribution to the right of z = 1.04 is 1 – 0.8508 =  0.1492.

The answer is 0.1492.
