For what value of k are the roots of the quadratic
equation kx²+ 4x+ 1=0 equals and reals."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

k ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A Quadratic equation is given to us and we need to find out the value of k for which the equation has real roots. The given equation is ,

[tex]\rm\implies kx^2 +4x +1=0[/tex]

With respect to Standard form of Quadratic equation :-

[tex]\rm\implies ax^+bx+c=0[/tex]

For real roots ,

[tex]\rm\implies Discriminant = b^2-4ac\geq 0[/tex]

Substitute the respective values ,

[tex]\rm\implies b^2-4ac \geq 0\\[/tex]

[tex]\rm\implies 4^2 - 4(k)(1) \geq 0 \\[/tex]

Simplify the LHS ,

[tex]\rm\implies 16 - 4k \geq 0 \\[/tex]

Add 4k both sides ,

[tex]\rm\implies 4k\geq 16 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 4 ,

[tex]\rm\implies \boxed{\blue{\rm k \geq 4}}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

(b) It is symmetrical about [tex]x = 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 5[/tex]

See attachment for options

Required

True statement about the graph

First, we check the line of symmetric

[tex]y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 5[/tex]

Expand

[tex]y = 2(x^2 - 2x + 1) - 5[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y = 2x^2 - 4x + 2 - 5[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x^2 - 4x -3[/tex]

A quadratic equation [tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex] has the following line of symmetry

[tex]x = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

By comparison, the equation becomes:

[tex]x = -\frac{-4}{2*2}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{4}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1[/tex]

Hence, the line of symmetry is at: [tex]x = 1[/tex]

(b) is true.

find H.C.F OF 4x²y and xy²​

Answers

Answer:

xy

Step-by-step explanation:

The HCF is known as the highest common factor. To find the HCF of two values, we have to take the greatest number that fits into all of their factors.

To start, we can list each value's factors.

For 4x²y, this can also be written as 4*x²*y = 4*x*x*y. In multiplication, we can take the factors of each value that is multiplied. Therefore, we can start with the factors of 4 and then go to the factors of x² and so on. Our factor list is thus 1,2,4,x,x²,y

Similarly, for xy² = x*y*y, our factors are x, y, and y²

The common factors for each of these are x and y. Assuming all values are positive and greater than 1, the x*y will be greater than either x or y. Therefore, the highest common factor would be x*y = xy

i am having troubles solving this 4(x+3)=x+42 can i get some help please.

Answers

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply 4 with X and 3. You'll get 4x+12=x+42

Step 2: Keep the variable on one side and the number on the other side. you would subtract X and subtract 12. You'll get 3x=30

Step 3: Divide by the 3 on both sides and you'll get x=10

Given:

[tex] \\ ⇢ \tt \: 4(x + 3) = x + 42 \\ [/tex]

Solution:

[tex] \\ ⇢ \tt \: 4(x + 3) = x + 42 \\ \\ \\ \tt⇢ 4x + 12 = x + 42 \: \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: ⇢4x - x = 42 - 12 \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: ⇢3x = 30 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: ⇢x = \frac{30}{3} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \tt \: \pink{ \pmb{ \mathfrak{⇢x = 10}}} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 2p → (2)

Substitute n = 2p into (1)

0.01p + 0.05(2p) = 8.80

0.01p + 0.1p = 8.80

0.11p = 8.80 ( divide both sides by 0.11 )

p = 80

Substitute p = 80 into (2)

n = 2 × 80 = 160

Simplify: 0.9(2b-1)-0.5b+1

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.9*2b = 1.8b

0.9*-1 = -0.9

So far we have 1.8b-0.9. It can't be simplified further.

Then, we add the 2nd part, -0.5b+1.

We have:

1.8b-0.9-0.5b+1. Next we combine like terms.

1.8b-0.5b = 1.3b.

-0.9+1 = 0.1

Then we put it together.

1.3b+0.1 is our answer.

Find the largest integer not greater than the following expression :
[tex]\displaystyle \large \boldsymbol{} \frac{2150}{2005} +\frac{2150}{2006} +\frac{2150}{2007 } + ...+\frac{2150}{2020}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of terms:

2020 - 2004 = 16

Each term is greater than 1, so the expression is greater than 16:

2150/2005 = 1 + 145/20052150/2006 = 1 + 144/2006...2150/2020 = 1 + 130/2020

It's easy to note each of the numbers getting smaller like 145/2005 > 144/2006 etc. Taking the smallest fraction.

The sum is:

S > 16 + 16*130/2020 = 16 + 2080/2020 > 16 + 1 = 17

So the largest integer not greater than S is 17.

sin^6x + cos^6x = 1/4

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{4} + k\, \pi[/tex] for integer [tex]k[/tex] (including negative numbers.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Identity: [tex]\sin^{2}(x) + \cos^{2}(x) = 1[/tex]. Equivalently, [tex]\cos^{2}(x) = 1 - \sin^{2}(x)[/tex].

Rewrite the original equation and apply this substitution to eliminate [tex]\cos(x)[/tex]:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin^{6}(x) + \cos^{6}(x) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle (\sin^{2}(x))^{3} + (\cos^{2}(x))^{3} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle (\sin^{2}(x))^{3} + (1 - \sin^{2}(x))^{3} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Let [tex]y = \sin(x)[/tex] ([tex]-1 \le y \le 1[/tex].) The original equation is equivalent to the following equation about [tex]y[/tex]:

[tex]\displaystyle y^{6} + (1 - y^{2})^{3} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Expand the cubic binomial in the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle y^{6} + 1 - 3\, y^{2} + 3\, (y^{2})^{2} - (y^{2})^{3} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle y^{6} + 1 - 3\, y^{2} + 3\, y^{4} - y^{6} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Simplify to obtain:

[tex]\displaystyle 1 - 3\, y^{2} + 3\, y^{4} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Rearrange and simplify:

[tex]12\, y^{4} - 12\, y^{2} + 3 = 0[/tex].

[tex]3\, (2\, y^{2} - 1)^{2} = 0[/tex].

[tex]2\, y^{2} - 1 = 0[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle y^{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 0[/tex].

Solve for [tex]y[/tex]:

Either [tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex] or [tex]\displaystyle y = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex].

If [tex]\displaystyle \sin(x) = y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex], then [tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\, k\,\pi[/tex] for all [tex]k\in \mathbb{Z}[/tex].

On the other hand, if [tex]\displaystyle \sin(x) = y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex], then [tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{3\, \pi}{4} + 2\, k\,\pi = \frac{\pi}{4} + (2\, k + 1) \, \pi[/tex] for all [tex]k\in \mathbb{Z}[/tex].

Combine both situations to obtain:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\, k\, \pi[/tex] for all [tex]k \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex].
