Can someone please help me with this; im a lil bit confused.... Q.solve for the values of x in the equation 2x² - 5x - 12 = 0 using the quadratic equation formula.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The solutions for x are [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]x = -1.5[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].

This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]

2x² - 5x - 12 = 0

This means that [tex]a = 2, b = -5, c = -12[/tex]

Solution:

[tex]\Delta = (-5)^2 - 4(2)(-12) = 121[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-(-5) + \sqrt{121}}{2*2} = 4[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-(-5) - \sqrt{121}}{2*2} = -1.5[/tex]

The solutions for x are [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]x = -1.5[/tex].

Area of a circle = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]

A = 3.14 ([tex]3^{2}[/tex]) = 9(3.14) = 28.26

That's a full circle. We want half. Divide by 2 = 14.13

A = [tex]\frac{(b)(h)}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(3)(4)}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{2}[/tex] = 6

Answers

Answer:

  a) 320 m

  b) 4.838 seconds, or 11.162 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) S(8) = -5(8^2) +80(8) = -320 +640 = 320

The height 8 seconds after takeoff will be 320 meters.

__

b) S(t) = 270

  270 = -5t^2 +80t

  -54 = t^2 -16t . . . . . . divide by -5

  10 = t^2 -16t +64 . . . . add 64

  ±√10 = t -8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  t = 8 ±√10 ≈ {4.838, 11.162}

c. What does this say about the sensitivity of the median to rounding or grouping in the data?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging the data in the ascending order:

108.6 98.3 103.7 112 117.4 120 121.5 123.2 128.4

The median is the middle value of the data set:

a)

Hence,

median = 117.4

b)

When the value of blood pressure is 117.7 instead of 117.4 then the median will be:

Median = 117.7

c)

This indicates that the median of a well sorted set of data is depends upon the middle value of the data set.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Measured at the airport, the angle between the two planes is ...

  180° -60° -50° = 70°

The law of cosines tells us the distance between the planes is ...

  d = √(50² +80² -2·50·80·cos(70°)) ≈ √6163.84 ≈ 78.5 . . . km

The planes are about 78.5 km apart.

Matt buys a new fish tank. The fish tank is in the shape of a cuboid. The diagram shows water in the tank. 30 cm 30 cm 100 cm Matt knows 1000 cm' = 1 litre 1 gallons = 4.5 litres He can keep 2 small fish in the tank for every 1 gallon of water in the tank. Matt thinks he can keep more than 36 small fish in the tank. Is Matt correct?​

Answers

Answer: Yes, but only if he houses 37, 38, 39, or 40 fish

Anything larger than 40 and he'll need more room.

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

Explanation:

The tank is 30 cm by 30 cm by 100 cm. The volume is 30*30*100 = 90,000 cm^3 which is shorthand for "cubic centimeters".

We're told that 1000 cm^3 = 1 liter, which means the 90,000 cm^3 converts to (90,000)/(1000) = 90 liters.

The fish tank is 90 liters.

Since 1 gallon = 4.5 liters, this means the 90 liter tank converts to 90/(4.5) = 20 gallons

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

Your teacher mentions "He can keep 2 small fish for every 1 gallon".

Since the tank is 20 gallons, that means he can keep 20*2 = 40 fish. This value is larger than 36, so Matt is correct to a point. If Matt is thinking 37, 38, 39, or 40 fish then he would be correct. If Matt is wanting more than 40 fish, then he'll need a bigger tank.

In short, he can't have any number over 36 and can only have 4 specific values (the four values mentioned earlier).

So technically, Matt is correct, but strong clarification is needed.

Answer:

We have an angle and an opposite side, so we can use the law of sines to find the angle of interest.

  sin(A)/a = sin(C)/c

  A = arcsin(a/c·sin(C)) = arcsin(11/18·1/2) = arcsin(11/36)

Part 1: Find the mean of this set of data.
Part 2: Find the mean absolute deviation of this set of data.
Part 3: Using complete sentences, explain what your results for part A and B mean.
i really need an answer for part c

Answers

Part A

To find the mean, we add up the values and divide by n = 8 since there are 8 values in this set.

Adding the values gets us

28+45+12+34+36+45+19+20 = 239

Dividing this over 8 then leads to 239/8 = 29.875

Answer: 29.875

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

Part B

We'll subtract each data value from the mean. We apply absolute value to ensure the result is never negative.

|28 - 29.875| = 1.875 |45 - 29.875| = 15.125 |12 - 29.875| = 17.875 |34 - 29.875| = 4.125 |36 - 29.875| = 6.125 |45 - 29.875| = 15.125 |19 - 29.875| = 10.875 |20 - 29.875| = 9.875

The list of results we get so far is:

1.875, 15.125, 17.875, 4.125, 6.125, 15.125, 10.875, 9.875

This represents the distance each value is from the mean.

Add these values up and divide by n = 8

1.875+15.125+17.875+4.125+6.125+15.125+10.875+9.875 = 81

81/8 = 10.125

Answer: 10.125

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

Part C

The result of part A is one way to measure the center of the distribution of values. It's the average value, which can more or less represent the entire group. Think of it being like how people vote in a senator to represent them in congress. Ideally, this senator is a supposed "average" person to represent everyone.

The result of part B builds on what part A found. The result of part B is the average distance each value is from the center. This is because each time we subtracted and applied absolute value, we found the distance that item was from the mean.

Example: The calculation |28 - 29.875| = 1.875 shows that 28 is exactly 1.875 units from the mean 29.875

By adding up those results and dividing by 8, we are finding the average distance from the mean. Effectively, it tells us how spread out the data set is. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a measure of spread in a similar fashion that the standard deviation is, or in a more looser sense, the range is as well.

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

In short, the result of part A is a measure of center while the result of part B is a measure of spread. I use "a" instead of "the" because there are other measures of center and other measures of spread.
