Determine the zeros of the function f(x) = 3x^2 -7x+1

1 answer:

6 0

I will use the quadratic formula.

$\text{The zeros of function:}\ f(x)=0\\\\f(x)=3x^2-7\\\\f(x)=0\to3x^2-7x+1=0\\\\a=3;\ b=-7;\ c=1\\\\b^2-4ac=(-7)^2-4\cdot3\cdot1=49-12=37\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a};\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-(-7)-\sqrt{37}}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{7-\sqrt{37}}{6}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-(-7)+\sqrt{37}}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{7+\sqrt{37}}{6}$

Solve 1235 divided 100

bagirrra123 [75]

1235 / 100

See 1235 as 1235.0, since we are dividing by 100, we have two zeros, so we move the decimal point in 1235.0 two places to the left.

A Triangle has an angle that measures 137.3 degrees. The other two angles are in a ratio of 3:4. What are the measures of those

Andreyy89

So we start off by subtracting 137.3 from 180 getting 42.5. If you add the ratios up (3+4) you get 7 and 7 should equal 42.5. thus,

42.5/7= 85/14

(85/14)*3=18.2 or (255/14 to be exact)
(85/14)*4= 24.29 or (170/7 to be exact)

A rectangle initially has width 7 meters and length 10 meters and is expanding so that the area increases at a rate of 8 square

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Initial dimensions of rectangular box:

Length,l = 10 m

Width,w = 7 m

$\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 8\text{ square meters per hour}\\\\\dfrac{dw}{dt} = 40\text{ centimeters per hour} =0.4\text{ meters per hour}$

We have to find the rate of increase of length.

Area of rectangle =

$A = l\times w$

Differentiating we get,

$\displaystyle\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dl}{dt}w + \frac{dw}{dt}l$

Putting values, we get,

$8 = \dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) + (0.4)(10)\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) = 8 -4\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt} \approx 0.5714$

Thus, the length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.

5. A study found that the average time it took a person to find their dream home was 5.9 months. If a sample of

solong [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval of the mean time it took a person to find their dream home is between 5.64 months and 6.16 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.96\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{36}} = 0.26$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 5.9 - 0.26 = 5.64 months

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 5.9 + 0.26 = 6.16 months.

The 95% confidence interval of the mean time it took a person to find their dream home is between 5.64 months and 6.16 months.
