Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 273.

Describe the nature of the roots for this equation.<br> 3x^2+x-5= 0

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

<h2>This equation has no natural roots.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2+x-5=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{For the given equation:}\\\\a=3,\ b=1,\ c=-5\\\\b^2-4ac=1^2-4(3)(-5)=1+60=61\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{61}}{(2)(3)}=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{61}}{6}\notin\mathbb{N}$

A car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate. Write an equation that would

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

180/t = r

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we would have to write an equation that represents the scenario given.

We know that the car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate.

We would use the y = mx + b format for the equation, but replacing the variables with "r" and "t"

We know that 180 will be our y-variable, since that would be the base of the equation:

180 = ???

And to find how long/fast it will take the car, we would need to multiply the rate of speed "r" and time "t" in order to get our distance.

Plug it into the equation:

180 = rt

With this set up, you can find the rate of speed of the car when you know the time.

You would simply solve it as:

180/t = r

A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is .5

Answer:

7.3% of the bearings produced will not be acceptable

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 0.499, \sigma = 0.002$
