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)!!!

2. The Welcher Adult Intelligence Test Scale is composed of a number of subtests. On one subtest, the raw scores have a mean of

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 37.31 b) 42.70 c) 0.57 d) 0.09

Step-by-step explaanation:

We are regarding a normal distribution with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 6, i.e., $\mu$ = 35 and $\sigma$ = 6. We know that the probability density function for a normal distribution with a mean of $\mu$ and a standard deviation of $\sigma$ is given by

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}\exp[-\frac{(x-\mu)^{2}}{2\sigma^{2}}]$

in this case we have

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}6}\exp[-\frac{(x-35)^{2}}{2(6^{2})}]$

Let $X$ be the random variable that represents a row score, we find the values we are seeking in the following way

a) we are looking for a number $x_{0}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{0})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{0}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.65$ , this number is $x_{0}$ =37.31

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.65, mean = 35, sd = 6)

b) we are looking for a number $x_{1}$ such that

$P(X\leq x_{1})$ = $\int\limits^{x_{1}}_{-\infty} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.9$ , this number is $x_{1}$ =42.70

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction qnorm(0.9, mean = 35, sd = 6)

c) we find this probability as

$P(28\leq X\leq 38)$ = $\int\limits^{38}_{28} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.57$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(38, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(28, mean = 35, sd = 6)

d) we find this probability as

$P(41\leq X\leq 44)$ = $\int\limits^{44}_{41} {f(x)} \, dx = 0.09$

you can find this answer using the R statistical programming languange and the instruction pnorm(44, mean = 35, sd = 6) -pnorm(41, mean = 35, sd = 6)

Which statements are true when using algebra tiles to solve the equation 8x + (–4) = 11x + 5?

kogti [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation $8x+(-4)=11x+5$

1. Add 8 negative x-tiles to both sides of the equation to create a zero pair on the left side. The equation then will have form

$8x+(-4)+(-8x)=11x+5+(-8x)\\ \\-4=3x+5$

2. Add 5 negative unit tiles to both sides of the equation to create a zero pair on the right side. The equation now is

$-4+(-5)=3x+5+(-5)\\ \\-9=3x$

3. Divide both sides by 3:

$\dfrac{3x}{3}=\dfrac{-9}{3}\\ \\x=-3$

Need help with math problem if do get 5 star

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

b) 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a pentagon: A = 1/2 * 5(side)(apothem).

side: b = 10in
apothem: a = 8 in

A = 1/2 * 5(side)(apothem).

A = 1/2 * 5(10)(8).

A = 1/2 * 5(80).

A = 1/2 * 400

A = 200 square inches

Think about converting 48% to an equivalent fraction in reduced form. If the denominator is 25, what is the numerator?

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

the numerator is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

since 48 is a percent, it would be put as 48/100 as a fraction. since both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4, you can reduce the fraction into 12/25. Since the question is asking what the numerator was when the denominator was 25, the answer is 12.
