Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p
x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0
x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0
Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,
1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]
2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]
3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].
Discriminant of the given equation = 
For real roots,
p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0
p² - 6p + 21 > 0
For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
Answer:
3. The missing angle is 56°
4. x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3.
We know sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180°.
Looking at the top triangle, we can figure out the third angle. Let third angle be x:
85 + 35 + x = 180
120 + x = 180
x = 180 - 120
x = 60
<u>The angle "x" and the angle that is missing from the "bottom" triangle in the figure, are vertical angles, and hence, are EQUAL.</u>
So the bottom triangle now has 2 angles, 60 and 64 (given). Let the third angle be y(the one with a question mark). So we can write:
60 + 64 + y = 180
124 + y = 180
y = 180 - 124
y= 56
This is the missing angle.
4.
10x - 5 AND 8x + 9 are vertical angles. They ARE EQUAL.
Thus we can write the equation:
(10x-5) = (8x+9)
10x-8x=9+5
2x=14
x=14/2
x=7
So x = 7
Answer:
x=145°
Step-by-step explanation:
180 = 35 + x
x = 180-35
x= 145°
The lowest common denominator of 1/3 and 2/9 = 9
Answer:
a. 24
b. 2
c. 0.0833 = 8.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.
So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive
b.
If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2
c.
If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%
