State the intervals for which the given quadratic is positive and when it is negative.
goblinko [34]

Answer:

  • Positive at (-9, 2)
  • Negative at ( -oo, -9) or (2, + oo)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function</u>

  • y= -2x^2 - 14x + 36

<u>Getting zero's</u>

  • -2x^2 - 14x + 36 = 0
  • x^2 + 7x - 18 = 0
  • x = ( -7 ± √(49 +72))/2 = ( -7 ± 11)/2
  • x = - 9 and x = 2

<u>As the x^2 has negative coefficient, the function is positive between -9 and 2</u>

  • - 9 < x < 2 or
  • (-9, 2)

<u>And it is negative at:</u>

  • x < -9 and
  • x > 2
  • or
  • ( -oo, -9) or (2, + oo)

Answer:

It shows that the survey is meaningless because of voluntary response bias.

Step-by-step explanation:

This survey in the question provides a very good example of voluntary response bias and this often overrepresents negative opinions. Now, the people who chose to respond were most likely parents who were very unhappy, and so, there is very little chance that the 10,000 respondents were representative of the population. Knowing more about her readers, or taking a sample of the sample, would not have helped.

Thus, we can conclude that ;The survey is meaningless because of voluntary response bias.

How many solutions does the system of equations below have? y = 7 6 x + 6 7 y = 9 2 x − 4 9
Mila [183]

Answer:

Im not sure what type of solution you are looking for. You should be more specific. Though I will still give you some helpful solutions and you use the one you need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factored: y=168x+67y-49

Solved for Y; -28x/11 + 49/66

Solved for X: -11y/28 + 7/24

X and Y intercepts:

X=( 7/24, 0 )

Y= ( 0, 49/66 )

I hope these answers help. Next time be more specific to what your looking for and make sure your equation is written correctly.
