How many times does the graph of the function below interect or touch the x-axis? y=-2x^2+3x+5

Mathematics

Andrei [34K]2 years ago

Answer:

Two times at (-1,0) and (2.5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the graph intersects or touches x-axis, y is equal to 0

so y = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

=> 0 = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

so a = -2

    b = 3

    c = 5

substitute in the formula

x = [-3 +/- √(3^2 - 4x-2x5)]/2(-2)

x = [-3 +/- √(9 + 40)]/(-4)

x = [-3 +/- 7]/(-4)

x1 = (-3 + 7)/(-4) = 4/-4 = -1

x2 = (-3 - 7)/(-4) = -10/-4 = 5/2 = 2.5

so the graph has two x-intercepts (-1,0) and (2.5,0), therefore it intersects x-axis two times

Six sophomores and 14 freshmen are competing for two alternate positions on the debate team. Which expression represents the pro
Elanso [62]

Answer:

<em>Choose the first alternative</em>

\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions (N_s) and the total number of possible choices (N_t), i.e.

\displaystyle P=\frac{N_s}{N_t}

There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total

We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.

To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5

_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The total number of possible choices is

_{2}^{20}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The probability is then

\boxed{\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}}

Choose the first alternative

Due to a leak, the amount of water in a pool is decreasing by 5858 gal every hour.
Dafna1 [17]
Here is the solution to the given problem above.
Given the the amount of water in a pool is decreasing 5/8 gallon every hour.
And what would be the change in the number of gallons after 3/4 hour. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 5/8 by 3/4. And the result would be 15/32. The total change in the number of gallons of water in the pool after 3/4 hour would be 15/32 gallons.

  • a rectangle of <u>2m by 8 m</u>

<u>Now let's find</u>:

  • Area of a rectangle of <u>8m by 7m</u>

               Area=8*7=56m^2

  • Area of a rectangle of <u>2m by 8m</u>

               Area = 2 * 8 = 16m^2

<u>Total Area</u> = 56 + 16 = <u>72 m²</u>
