Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation with roots a and b is expressed as shown;

x²-(sum of root) x + (product of roots) = 0

x² - (a+b)x + ab = 0 ... 1

Given the sum of roots a+b = -7

Product of roots ab = -2

Substituting this values in equation 1 above wil give;

x²-(-7)x+(-2) = 0

x²+7x-2 = 0

The resulting quadratic polynomial is x²+7x-2 = 0

15. Scott and Tara were asked to find the

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Both Scott and Tara have responded correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

A=(1/2)[b1+b2]h

we have

b1=16 cm

b2=24 cm

h=8 cm -----> Note The height is 8 cm instead of 18 cm

substitute

A=(1/2)[16+24](8)

A=160 cm²

Verify Scott 's work

Note Scott wrote A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8) instead of A = 2(24 + 16)(8)

Remember that the Commutative Property establishes "The order of the addends does not alter its result"

(24+16)=(16+24)

A = (1/2)(24 + 16)(8)=160 cm²

Verify Tara's work

Note Tara wrote A = (1/2)(16+24)(8) instead of A = (16 + 24)(8)

A = (1/2)(16+24)(8)=160 cm²

The pulse rates of 174 randomly selected adult males vary from a low of 39 bpm to a high of 111 bpm. Find the minimum sample siz

Daniel [21]

Answer:

a. The sample size is approximately 97 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of adults surveyed, n = 174

The lowest value of the pulse rate = 39 bpm

The highest value of the pulse rate = 111 bpm

The level of confidence used for determining the sample size = 90%

The given sample mean = 3 pm of the population mean

a. The range rule of thumb states that the standard deviation is approximately one quarter (1/4) of the range

The range = 111 bpm - 39 bpm = 72 bpm

Therefore, the standard deviation, σ = 72 bpm/4 = 18 bpm

The sample size, 'N', is given as follows;

$N = \dfrac{z^2 \cdot p \cdot q}{e^2}$

Where;

N = The sample size

z = The confidence level, 90% (z-score at 90% = 1.645)

p·q = σ² = 18² = 324

e² = 3² = 9

$N = \dfrac{1.645^2 \times 324}{3^2} = 97.4169$

Therefore the appropriate sample size, N ≈ 97 adults.

Katya treated everyone in theater to a pizza party. She bought 12 pizzas and six 2-liters of soda. The bill was $137.64 (before

sweet-ann [11.9K]

let the price of pizza and soda( per 2 litre bottle) be x and y

from 1st condition

12x+2y=137.6.....(1)

from 2nd condition

x+y =11.95.......(2)

multiply eq. (2) by 2

2x+2y=23.9.....(3)

subtracting (1) and (3)

12x+2y=137.6

2x+2y= 23.9

10x = 113.7

x=113.7/10

x=11.37

2(11.37)+2y=23.9

22.74+2y=23.9

2y=23.9-22.7

2y=1.2

y=0.6

So the prices of the pizza and soda are 11.37 and 0.6 dollars.

5(x+7)+2 = 4(x - 1) + 1

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

x = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

First we distribute

5x + 35 + 2 = 4x - 4 + 1

Collect like terms

5x + 37 = 4x - 3

Subtract 37 from both sides

5x = 4x - 40

Subtract 4x from both sides

1x = -40 OR x = -40
