Answer: The value of k for which one root of the quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0 is six times the other is k = 3.
Let's look into the solution step by step.
Explanation:
Given: A quadratic equation, kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0
Let the two zeros of the equation be α and β.
According to the given question, if one of the roots is α the other root will be 6α.
Thus, β = 6α
Hence, the two zeros are α and 6α.
We know that for a given quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
The sum of the zeros is expressed as,
α + β = - b / a
The product of the zeros is expressed as,
αβ = c / a
For the given quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0,
a = k, b = -14, c = 8
The sum of the zeros is:
α + 6α = 14 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]
⇒ 7α = 14 / k
⇒ α = 2 / k --------------- (1)
The product of the zeros is:
⇒ α × 6α = 8 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]
⇒ 6α 2 = 8 / k
⇒ 6 (2 / k)2 = 8 / k [From (1)]
⇒ 6 × (4 / k) = 8
⇒ k = 24 / 8
⇒ k = 3
Answer:
Just put the numbers in order then the interquartile range would be the largest number from the high quartile and the lowest number from the lower quartile.
7,15,19,34 are not multiples of four. to find this answer out just divide four into them.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The variable of interest is:
X: number of daily text messages a high school girl sends.
This variable has a population standard deviation of 20 text messages.
A sample of 50 high school girls is taken.
The is no information about the variable distribution, but since the sample is large enough, n ≥ 30, you can apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal:
X[bar]≈N(μ;δ²/n)
This way you can use an approximation of the standard normal to calculate the asked probabilities of the sample mean of daily text messages of high school girls:
Z=(X[bar]-μ)/(δ/√n)≈ N(0;1)
a.
P(X[bar]<95) = P(Z<(95-100)/(20/√50))= P(Z<-1.77)= 0.03836
b.
P(95≤X[bar]≤105)= P(X[bar]≤105)-P(X[bar]≤95)
P(Z≤(105-100)/(20/√50))-P(Z≤(95-100)/(20/√50))= P(Z≤1.77)-P(Z≤-1.77)= 0.96164-0.03836= 0.92328
I hope you have a SUPER day!
<span>Lets make it clear: You would have a positive answer when the value you are looking for has to be a positive number. On the other hand you would have a positive and a negative answer when you take the square root of something that doesn't have to be positive. it could be either because when a negative number is squared it becomes positive and when a positive number is squared it stays positive as well.</span>
