Which value of b would make 16x²-bx + 25 a perfect square trinomial?

Mathematics

blondinia [14]3 years ago

Answer:

b = 40 and -40

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of Perfect square trinomial is a 2 + 2 a b + b 2

Therefore from 16 x 2 − b x + 25 a 2 = √ 16 x 2 , b 2 = 25 , then a = ± 4 x , b = ± 5 take consideration a=4x and b=-5 (different sign), then − b x = 2 ( 4 x ) ( − 5 ) − b x = − 40 x b = 40

The perfect square is ( 4 x − 5 ) 2 = 16 x 2 − 40 x + 25 .

if we consider a=4x and b=5 (same sign), then − b x = 2 ( 4 x ) ( 5 ) − b x = 40 x b = − 40

The perfect square is ( 4 x + 5 ) 2 = 16 x 2 + 40 x + 25 .

The first solution ( 4 x − 5 ) 2 is the best solution after comparing the expression given.  I hope this helps, xx .

The likelihood that a patient with a heart attack dies of the attack is 0.04 (i.e., 4 of 100 die of the attack). Suppose we have

The probability solved by binomial distribution that all will survive is 0.8154.

<h3>What is Binomial distribution? </h3>

When each trial has the same probability of achieving a given value, the number of trials or observations is summarized using the binomial distribution. The likelihood of observing a specific number of successful outcomes in a specific number of trials is determined by the binomial distribution.

Computation of probability of all survived people from heart attack;

A heart attack patient has a 0.04 percent chance of dying from the attack (i.e., 4 of 100 die of the attack).

What is the likelihood that each of the five patients who experience a heart attack will survive?

We'll refer to a victory in this scenario as a heart attack (p = 0.04). In other words, we are interested in the likelihood that none of our n=5 patients will die (0 successes).

Each attack has a chance of being fatal or not, with a probability of 4 percent for all patients, and each patient's result is independent.

Assume for the purposes of this example that the five individuals being examined are unrelated, of the same age, and free of any concomitant disorders.

By binomial distribution,

\begin{gathered}P(0 \text { successes })=\frac{5 !}{0 !(5-0) !} 0.04^{0}(1-0.04)^{5-0} \\P(0 \text { successes })=\frac{5 !}{5 !}(1)(0.96)^{5}=(1)(1)(0.8154)=0.8154\end{gathered}

Therefore, with a 4 % chance that anyone will die, there is an 81.54% chance that every patient will survive the onslaught. The outcomes in this example could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 successes (fatalities).

Abd is a right angled triangle so by pythagoras we know
{g}^{2}  =  {11}^{2}  +  {13}^{2}  \\  {g}^{2}  = 290 \\ g =  \sqrt{290}  \: or \: g = 17.03cm
and to calculate h we need to use the sine rule
\frac{h}{ \sin(22) }  =  \frac{g}{ \sin(32) }  \\  \frac{h}{ \sin(22) }  =  \frac{17.03}{ \sin(32) }  \\ h =  \frac{17.03}{ \sin(32) } \times  \sin(22)   \\ h = 12.04cm
i hope this helps

The length of a rectangle is nine inches more than its width. Its area is 486 square inches. Find the width and length of the re
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

  • width: 18 in
  • length: 27 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...

  W +9 = L

  LW = 486

Substituting gives ...

  (W+9)W = 486

  W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form

  (W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor

  W = 18 . . . .  the positive solution

The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

_____

<em>Comment on factoring</em>

There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.

486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
