5. Find the discriminant of 15x2 = 4x – 1 and describe

Mathematics
1 answer:
diamong [38]3 years ago

Answer:

a) The discriminant of the equation =  - 44

b)The nature of the roots will be imaginary.

c) x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is 15x^{2}  = 4x -1

or, 15x^{2}  -  4x + 1   = 0

Now the discriminant (D) of a quadratic equation ax^{2}  +b x + c   = 0

D = b^{2}   -  4ac  = (-4)^{2}  -  4(15) (1)  = 16 - (60) = -44

Hence, the discriminant of the equation =  - 44

As D< 0, so the roots will be imaginary.

Now,by quadratic formula : x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

So, here x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{D} }{2a}  = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

So, either x = \frac{4 + \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30} or, x =  \frac{4 - \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

or, x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 TIME REMAINING 52:51 Use the data set to determine which statements are correct. Check all that apply. 35,
Nady [450]

Answer:

The true statements are:

  • The median is 38.5.
  • There is an outlier.
  • The lower quartile is 29.
  • The upper quartile is 70.
  • The interquartile range is 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are:  35, 41, 18, 75, 36, 21, 62, 29, 154, 70

Make the data in order from the least to the greatest

18 , 21 , 29 , 35 , <u>36 , 41</u> , 62 , 70 , 75 , 154

So, the median of the data = (36 + 41)/2 = 38.5

We can deduce that The number 154 represents an outlier because the difference between 154 and 75 is much greater than the difference between the other data

If we divided the data to two groups , they will be:

(18 , 21 , <u>29 </u>, 35 , 36)  ,  (41 , 62 , <u>70 </u>, 75 , 154)

So, The lower quartile Q1 is the median of the first group = 29

And the upper quartile Q2 is the median of the second group = 70

And the interquartile range = Q2 - Q1 = 70 - 29 = 41

So, the true statements are:

  • The median is 38.5
  • There is an outlier
  • The lower quartile is 29
  • The upper quartile is 70
  • The interquartile range is 41.

You may remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(W+L) where W is the width and L is the length.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Step-by-step explanation:

So, x=width and the width=13+L. The formula for perimeter is 2(L)+2(W) and the total perimeter in this question is 62 feet. That means 2(L)+2(13+L)=62 feet. Solve for L and that's going to be your length. Add the length plus 13 and you'll have the width. Double check the equation by plugging the width and length back into the equation. (Does that help?)
