Answer:

Other root: $x=3$

$q=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

If $x=2$ , then $x-2=0$ .

Therefore:

$x^2-5x+q=0$

$2^2-5(2)+q=0$

$4-10+q=0$

$-6+q=0$

$q=6$

This means that the other root is $x=3$ since $(x-2)(x-3)=x^2-5x+6$

What are the zeros of the function?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

F(x) factors as
f(x) = x(x+1)(x-3)
so has zeros of x = -1, 0, 3, because these values make the factors be zero.

The appropriate choice is ...
C. -1, 0, and 3

A cyclist travels at distance of 400 meters in 120 seconds towards school, calculate his speed. (Show your work)

DochEvi [55]

we know that

The scalar magnitude of the velocity vector is the speed. The speed is equal to

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

in this problem we have

$distance=400\ m \\time=120\ sec$

substitute in the formula

$Speed=\frac{400}{120}$

$Speed=3.5\frac{m}{sec}$

therefore

<u>the answer Part a) is</u>

the speed is equal to $3.5\frac{m}{sec}$

<u>Part b) </u>Find the velocity

we know that

<u>Velocity </u>is a vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it

in this problem we have

the magnitude is equal to the speed

$magnitude=3.5\frac{m}{sec}$

$direction=North\ East\ (NE)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is</u>

the velocity is $3.5\frac{m}{sec}\ North\ East\ (NE)$

Part c)

we know that

the acceleration is equal to the formula

$a=\frac{V2-V1}{t2-t1}$

in this problem we have

$V2=0 \\V1=3.5\frac{m}{sec}$

$t2=15\ sec\\t1=0$

substitute in the formula

$a=\frac{0-3.5}{15-0}$

$a=-\frac{3.5}{15}\frac{m}{sec^{2}}$

$a=-\frac{7}{30}\frac{m}{sec^{2}}$

therefore

<u>the answer Part c) is</u>

the acceleration is $-\frac{7}{30}\frac{m}{sec^{2}}$

This is an example of negative acceleration

What is the domain of the function y= square root x?

Goryan [66]

The domain of a function is the set of values of the independent variable for which the function is defined. The square root function is defined for all non-negative real numbers. So, ...

The domain of

y = √x

is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero. (x ≥ 0)

_____

In some cases, there may be other limits on the domain of a function. A function may be defined for all values of mass, for example, but is of no practical use for values of mass greater than the mass of the known universe (or planet Earth, perhaps).
