Please explain with working!!! Find the set of values of x that satisfy the inequality 9x^2-15x<6

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

$-1/3$

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a quadratic inequality, first solve it normally like you would for a normal quadratic equation. We have:

$9x^2-15x$

Ignore the less than sign and replace it with an equal sign and solve the quadratic for its zeros:

$9x^2-15x=6$

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$9x^2-15x-6=0$

Divide everything by 3:

$3x^2-5x-2=0$

Factor. Find two numbers that equal (3)(-2)=-6 that add up to -5.

-6 and 1 works. Thus:

$3x^2-6x+x-2=0\\3x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0\\(3x+1)(x-2)=0$

Find the x using the Zero Product Property:

$3x+1=0 \text{ or }x-2=0\\x=-1/3\text{ or }x=2$

Now, we need to replace the equal signs with symbols again. To do so, we need to test which symbol to place. Let's do the first zero first.

So, the first zero is:

$x=-1/3$

Assume that the correct symbol is >. Thus,

$x>-1/3$

Now, pick any number that is greater than -1/3. I'll pick 0 since it's the easiest. Now, plug 0 back into the very original inequality. If it works, then the sign is correct, if it doesn't, then simply use the opposite one. Therefore:

$9x^2-15x$

0 is indeed less than six, so our first correct solution is:

$x>-1/3$

For the second one, do the same thing. We have:

$x=2$

Assume that the correct symbol is <. Thus:

$x$

Again, pick any number less than 2. I'm going to use 0. Plug 0 back into the original equation

$9x^2-15x$

Again, this is correct. Therefore, x<2 is also the correct inequality.

So together, we have:

$x>-1/3 \text{ and } x$

Together, we can write them as:

$-1/3$

(Note that we don't need to worry about the "or equal to" part since the original inequality didn't have it.)

The graph below shows a line of best fit for data collected on the amount of time teenagers spend on the computer and

patriot [66]

Answer:

C) 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the line of best fit, when x=360, y=30, which means that a teenager spends 30 minutes watching television if they spend 360 minutes on the computer.

Suppose that 15% of the fields in a given agricultural area are infested with the sweet potato whitefly. One hundred fields in t

hram777 [196]

Answer:

a. $\mu=15$

b. $\mu=7.8586 \ and \ \mu=22.1414$

c. Choice A- Based on limits above, it is unlikely that we would see x = 45, so it might be possible that the trials are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.Binomial distribution is defined by the expression

$P(X=k)=C_k^n.p^k.(1-p)^{n-k}$

Let n be the number of trials, $n=100$

and p be the probability of success, $p=15\%$

The mean of a binomial distribution is the probability x sample size.

$\mu=np=100\times0.15=15$

b.Limits within which p is approximately 95%

sd of a binomial distribution is given as: $\sigma=\sqrt npq\\q=1-p$

Therefore, $\sigma=\sqrt(100\times0.015\times0.85)=3.5707$

Use the empirical rule to find the limits. From the rule, approximately 95% of the observations are within to standard deviations from mean.

$sd_1=>\mu-2\sigma=15-2\times3.3507=7.8586\\sd_2=>\mu-2\sigma=15+2\times3.3507=22.1414$

Hence, approximately 95% of the observations are within 7.8586 and 22.1414 (areas of infestation).

c. $x=45$ is not within the limits in b above (7.8586,22.1414). X=45 appears to be a large area of infestation. A.Based on limits above, it is unlikely that we would see x = 45, so it might be possible that the trials are not independent.
