Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!

A soup can in the shape of a right circular cylinder is to be made from two materials. The material for the side of the can cost

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Radius = 1.12 inches and Height = 4.06 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A soup can is in the shape of a right circular cylinder.

Let the radius of the can is 'r' and height of the can is 'h'.

It has been given that the can is made up of two materials.

Material used for side of the can costs $0.015 and material used for the lids costs $0.027.

Surface area of the can is represented by

S = 2πr² + 2πrh ( surface area of the lids + surface are of the curved surface)

Now the function that represents the cost to construct the can will be

C = 2πr²(0.027) + 2πrh(0.015)

C = 0.054πr² + 0.03πrh ---------(1)

Volume of the can = Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

16 = πr²h

$h=\frac{16}{\pi r^{2}}$ -------(2)

Now we place the value of h in the equation (1) from equation (2)

$C=0.054\pi r^{2}+0.03\pi r(\frac{16}{\pi r^{2}})$

$C=0.054\pi r^{2}+0.03(\frac{16}{r})$

$C=0.054\pi r^{2}+(\frac{0.48}{r})$

Now we will take the derivative of the cost C with respect to r to get the value of r to get the value to construct the can.

$C'=0.108\pi r-(\frac{0.48}{r^{2} })$

Now for C' = 0

$0.108\pi r-(\frac{0.48}{r^{2} })=0$

$0.108\pi r=(\frac{0.48}{r^{2} })$

$r^{3}=\frac{0.48}{0.108\pi }$

r³ = 1.415

r = 1.12 inch

and h = $\frac{16}{\pi (1.12)^{2}}$

h = 4.06 inches

Let's check the whether the cost is minimum or maximum.

We take the second derivative of the function.

$C"=0.108+\frac{0.48}{r^{3}}$ which is positive which represents that for r = 1.12 inch cost to construct the can will be minimum.

Therefore, to minimize the cost of the can dimensions of the can should be

Radius = 1.12 inches and Height = 4.06 inches

A large manufacturing firm tests job applicants who recently graduated from college. The test scores are normally distributed wi

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The lowest score a college graduate must be 577.75 or greater to qualify for a responsible position and lie in the upper 6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 500

Standard Deviation, σ = 50

We are given that the distribution of test score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.06.

P(X > x) = 6% = 0.06

$P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 500}{50})=0.06$

$= 1 - P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 500}{50})=0.06$

$=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 500}{50})=1-0.06=0.94$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(z < 1.555) = 0.94$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 500}{50} = 1.555\\x = 577.75$

Hence, the lowest score a college graduate must be 577.75 or greater to qualify for a responsible position and lie in the upper 6%.

If BY = 6, YC = 10, AX = 18, then XC = <br> a: 10.8 <br> b:5 <br> c:30 <br> d:48

vampirchik [111]

To answer this item, we assume that the topic is in similar polygons such that the ratio of the corresponding sides should be equal. In this item,

BY/YC = AX/XC

Substituting the known values,

6/10 = 18/XC

The value of XC from the equation is 30. The answer is letter C.
