Answer:

k = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x²+kx-20

From remainder theorem,

x = 10 and f(10) = 90

f(10) = 90

Subsitute the value of x into the expression above.

f(10) = 2(10²)+10k-20 = 90

200+10k-20 = 90

Solve for k by collecting like terms

10 k = 90+20-200

10k = 110-200

10k = -90

k = -90/10

k = -9.

Hence the value of the constant is -9

1) find the equation of the line parallel to

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1) The equation of the line parallel to x-5y=6 and through (4,-2) is 5y = x -14

2) The equation of the line perpendicular to y= -2/5x + 3 and through (2,-1) is 2y = 5x -12

Solution:

1) find the equation of the line parallel to x-5y=6 and through (4,-2).

Given, line equation is x – 5y = 6

We have to find the line equation that is parallel to given line and passing through the point (4, -2)

Now, let us find slope of the given line.

$\text { Slope }=\frac{-x \text { coefficient }}{y \text { coefficient }}=\frac{-1}{-5}=\frac{1}{5}$

Now, we know that, slope of parallel lines are equal.

So, slope of required line is 1/5 and it passes through (4, -2)

Now, using point slope form

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right) \text { where } m \text { is slope and }\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \text { is point on line. }$

$y-(-2)=\frac{1}{5}(x-4) \rightarrow 5(y+2)=x-4 \rightarrow 5 y+10=x-4 \rightarrow x-5 y=14$

Hence, the line equation is 5y = x -14

2) find the equation of the line perpendicular to y= -2/5x + 3 and through (2,-1)

$\text { Given, line equation is } y=-\frac{2}{5} x+3 \rightarrow 5 y=-2 x+15 \rightarrow 2 x+5 y=15$

We have to find the line equation that is perpendicular to given line and passing through the point (2, -1)

Now, let us find slope of the given line.

$\text { Slope }=\frac{-x \text { coefficient }}{y \text { coefficient }}=\frac{-2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

Now, we know that, product of slopes of perpendicular lines equals to -1.

So, slope of required line $\times$ slope of given line = -1

slope of required line = $-1 \times \frac{5}{-2}=\frac{5}{2}$

And it passes through (2, -1)

Now, using point slope form

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Line equation is } y-(-1)=\frac{5}{2}(x-2) \rightarrow 2(y+1)=5(x-2)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y+2=5 x-10 \rightarrow 5 x-2 y=12}\end{array}$

Hence, the line equation is 2y = 5x -12

IQ scores are measured with a test designed so that the mean is 116 and the standard deviation is 16. Consider the group of IQ s

butalik [34]

Answer:

So the z-scores that separate the unusual IQ scores from those that are usual are Z = -2 and Z = 2.

The IQ scores that separate the unusual IQ scores from those that are usual are 84 and 148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 116, \sigma = 16$
