True or false? The quadratic equation 10p2 - 5p = -8 has one solution.

Answer: False

=============================================

Explanation:

I'll use x in place of p.

The original equation 10x^2-5x = -8 becomes 10x^2-5x+8 = 0 after moving everything to one side.

Compare this to ax^2+bx+c = 0

We have

a = 10
b = -5
c = 8

Plug those three values into the discriminant formula below

d = b^2 - 4ac

d = (-5)^2 - 4(10)(8)

d = 25 - 40*8

d = 25 - 320

d = -295

The discriminant is negative, which means we have no real solutions. If your teacher has covered complex or imaginary numbers, then you would say that the quadratic has 2 complex roots. If your teacher hasn't covered this topic yet, then you'd simply say "no real solutions".

Either way, this quadratic doesn't have exactly one solution. That only occurs when d = 0. Therefore, the original statement is false.

Plz help me this is already suppose to be done lol

nignag [31]

Answer:

1. 247 mg ÷ 10 = 24.7 cg

2. 247 mg ÷ 100 = 2.47 dg

247 mg ÷ 1000 = 0.247 g

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To convert from 'mg' to 'cg', you must divide by 10 because 'cg' consists of 10 mg.

2. To convert from 'mg' to 'dg', you must divide by 100 because 'dg' consists of 100 mg.

3. To convert from 'mg' to 'g', you must divide by 1000 because 'g' consists of 1000 mg.

For the function g(x)=3-8(1/4)^2-x

Reika [66]

Using function concepts, it is found that:

a) The y-intercept is y = 2.5.

b) The horizontal asymptote is x = 3.

c) The function is decreasing.

d) The domain is $(-\infty,\infty)$ and the range is $(-\infty,3)$ .
e) The graph is given at the end of the answer.

------------------------------------

The given function is:

$g(x) = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-x}$

------------------------------------

Question a:

The y-intercept is g(0), thus:

$g(0) = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-0} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2} = 3 - \frac{8}{16} = 3 - 0.5 = 2.5$

The y-intercept is y = 2.5.

------------------------------------

Question b:

The horizontal asymptote is the limit of the function when x goes to infinity, if it exists.

$\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} g(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-x} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2+\infty} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\infty} = 3 - 8\frac{1^{\infty}}{4^{\infty}} = 3 -0 = 3$

--------------------------------------------------

$\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} g(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-x} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-\infty} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-\infty} = 3 - 8\times 4^{\infty} = 3 - \infty = -\infty$

Thus, the horizontal asymptote is x = 3.

--------------------------------------------------

Question c:

The limit of x going to infinity of the function is negative infinity, which means that the function is decreasing.

--------------------------------------------------

Question d:

Exponential function has no restrictions in the domain, so it is all real values, that is $(-\infty,\infty)$ .
From the limits in item c, the range is: $(-\infty,3)$

--------------------------------------------------

The sketching of the graph is given appended at the end of this answer.
