Solve equation by using the quadratic formula.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sati [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: 1:  x=3, x=1

2:  x= -5

3:  There are 2 real solutions.

4:  There are 2 real solutions.

5:  There are no real solutions.

6.  There is 1 real solution.

7.  

8.  x= -6, x = -2

9.  x = -1/6, x=1

10.  

Explanation:

1.  The quadratic formula is

Substituting our known information we have:

2.  Rewriting the quadratic in standard form we have x²+10x-25=0. Substituting this into the quadratic formula gives us:

3.  The discriminant is b²-4ac.  For this problem, that is 20²-4(-4)(25)=400--400=800.  Since this is greater than 0, there are 2 real solutions.

4.  The discriminant in this problem is 7²-4(2)(-15)=49--120=49+120=169.  This is greater than 0, so there are 2 real solutions.

5.  The discriminant in this problem is 1²-4(-2)(-28)=1-224=-223.  Since this is less than 0, there are no real solutions.

6.  If the discriminant of a quadratic is 0, then by definition there is 1 real solution.

7.  Rewriting the quadratic we have 3x²-4x-2=0.  Using the quadratic formula we have:

8.  Factoring this trinomial we want factors of 12 that sum to 8.  6*2 = 12 and 6+2=8, so those are our factors.  This gives us:

(x+6)(x+2)=0

Using the zero product property we know that either x+6=0 or x+2=0.  Solving these equations we get x= -6 or x= -2.

9.  Factoring this trinomial we want factors of 6(-1)=-6 that sum to -5.  (-6)(1)=-6 and -6+1=-5, so this is how we "split up" the x term:

6x²-6x+1x-1=0

We group together the first two and the last two terms:

(6x²-6x)+(1x-1)=0

Factor the GCF out of each group.  In the first group, that is 6x:

6x(x-1)+(1x-1)=0

In the second group, the GCF is 1:

6x(x-1)+1(x-1)=0

Both terms have a factor of (x-1), so we can factor it out:

(x-1)(6x+1)=0

Using the zero product property, we know either x-1=0 or 6x+1=0.  Solving these equations we get x=1 or x=-1/6.

10.  Substituting our information into the quadratic formula we get:

Find the equation of the linethe line passes through the points (5,2) and (-4,-4)
almond37 [142]

Answer:

y =  \frac{2}{3}x -  \frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the slope using the above points then use the slope formula to calculate the slope

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  \\  \frac{2 - -  4}{5 -  - 4}  =  \frac{2 + 4}{5 + 4}  =  \frac{6}{9}  =  \frac{2}{3}

substitute ⅔ for m and one of the above points into the y-intercept form of the equation for a line and solve for b

y = mx + b \\ 2 =  \frac{2}{3} (5)  + b \\ 2 =  \frac{10}{3}  + b \\ 2 -  \frac{10}{3}  = b \\  \frac{6}{3}  -  \frac{10}{3}  = b \\ b =  -  \frac{4}{3}

substitute the slope and the value for b into the equation to get the answer

y =   \frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{4}{3}

Of the last 100 customers entering Best Buy, 25 buy a computer. If the classical probability assessment applies, the probability
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The classical probability assessment works based on the principle that the probability of an event occurring is equal to the number of times the event occurs divided by total number of outcomes.

That is:

P(A) = n(A) / N

Therefore, the probability that the next customer will buy a computer will be:

P(c) = 25 / 100 = 1/4

Find the Inverse of
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 3

O f(x)= 1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6

x = 2y - 6

2y = x + 6

y = (x + 6)/2

y = 1/2x + 3

Can someone please help me with this problem?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

110 bonus payments

Step-by-step explanation:

Yearly salary is 20,000. So in 6 years, she will get:

20,000 * 6 = 120,000

Her agent's expectation is 1,000,000 and her salary would cover 120,000

So remaining is 1,000,000 - 120,000 = 880,000

This amount will be taken from bonus payments where bonus is 8000 for every game that attracts 100+ fans. SO we divide 880,000 by 8000 to get the number of bonus payments.

880,000/8000 = 110
