How many, and what type of solutions, does3x2−x−5=0 have?

Mathematics

siniylev [52]2 years ago

Answer:

2 irrational solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

using the quadratic formula:

\frac{ -b \:± \sqrt{b {}^{2} - 4ac }   }{2a}

3x²−x−5=0

where a = 3, b = -1 and c = -5, plug in those values in the quadratic formula

\frac{ - ( - 1)±\sqrt{(1) {}^{2} - 4(3)( - 5) } }{2(3)}

you get two solutions:

\frac{1 +  \sqrt{61} }{6} \:  and \:  \frac{1 -  \sqrt{61} }{6}

both can be written as:

\frac{1± \sqrt{61} }{6}

They are irrational as they cannot be written in the form p/q where p and q are whole numbers (integers)

Consider a sample with data values of 27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24. Compute the 20th, 25th, 65th, and 75th percentiles. 20
densk [106]

Answer:

P_{20} = 20 --- 20th percentile

P_{25} = 21.75  --- 25th percentile

P_{65} = 27.85   --- 65th percentile

P_{75} = 29.5   --- 75th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24.

N = 8

First, arrange the data in ascending order:

Arranged data: 16, 21, 24, 24, 27, 28, 30, 33

Solving (a): The 20th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{20 * 9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{180}{100}

P_{20} = 1.8th\ item

This is then calculated as:

P_{20} = 1st\ Item +0.8(2nd\ Item - 1st\ Item)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*(21 - 16)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*5

P_{20} = 16 + 4

P_{20} = 20

Solving (b): The 25th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{25 * 9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{225}{100}

P_{25} = 2.25\ th

This is then calculated as:

P_{25} = 2nd\ item + 0.25(3rd\ item-2nd\ item)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(24-21)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(3)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.75

P_{25} = 21.75

Solving (c): The 65th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{65 * 9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{585}{100}

P_{65} = 5.85\th

This is then calculated as:

P_{65} = 5th + 0.85(6th - 5th)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(28 - 27)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(1)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85

P_{65} = 27.85

Solving (d): The 75th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{75 * 9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{675}{100}

P_{75} = 6.75th

This is then calculated as:

P_{75} = 6th + 0.75(7th - 6th)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(30- 28)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(2)

P_{75} = 28 + 1.5

P_{75} = 29.5
