What is the roots of the quadratic equation? 6x^2+5x-4=0

Mathematics

Rama09 [41]3 years ago

x = \frac{1}{2} or x = - \frac{4}{3}

consider the factors of the product 6 × - 4 = - 24 which sum to the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 8 and - 3 ( split the middle term using these factors

6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping )

3x(2x - 1) + 4(2x - 1 ) ( take out common factor of (2x - 1) )

= (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}

3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - \frac{4}{3}

6x² + 5x - 4 = 0        

Multiply the first and last term (6x² * -4) to get -24x².  Now find two factors of -24x² whose sum is the middle term (5x).  -<em>3x + 8x   </em>Replace 5x with -3x + 8x, then factor and solve.

6x² - 3x    + 8x - 4 = 0

3x(<u>2x - 1</u>)  +4(<u>2x - 1</u>) = 0

(3x + 4) (<u>2x - 1</u>) = 0

3x + 4 = 0   or   2x - 1 = 0

x =  -\frac{4}{3}          or    x = \frac{1}{2}

<em>Note: you can also use the quadratic formula to find the foots.</em>

A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. The length of the deck
leva [86]
Let the width be W, then the length is 4W (since the width is 1/4 the length)

The area of the original deck is W*4W=4W^{2}

The dimensions of the new deck are :

length = 4W+6
width=W+2

so the area of the new deck is :

(4W+6)(W+2)= 4W^{2}+8W+6W+12= 4W^{2}+14W+12

"<span>the area of the new rectangular deck is 68 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck</span>" means that we write the equation:

4W^{2}+14W+12=68+4W^{2}

14W+12=68

14W=68-12=56

W= \frac{56}{14}= 4

the length is 4W=4*4=16    ft


Answer: width: 4, length: 16

Let z denote a random variable that has a standard normal distribution. Determine each of the probabilities below. (Round all an
Lorico [155]

Answer:

P(Z < 2.37) = 0.9911.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Let z denote a random variable that has a standard normal distribution.

Let Z = a random variable

So, Z ~ Standard Normal(0, 1)

As we know that the standard normal distribution has a mean of 0 and variance equal to 1.

                          Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean = 0

           \sigma = standard deviation = 1

Now, the probability that z has a value less than 2.37 is given by = P(Z < 2.37)

        P(Z < 2.37) = P(Z < \frac{2.37-0}{1} ) = P(Z < 2.37) = 0.9911

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.37 in the z table which has an area of 0.9911.
