For the function f(x) = x^2 + 4x -5 solve the following f(x)=0

Answers

Answer 1

That's a question about quadratic function.

Any quadratic function can be represented by the following form:

[tex]\boxed{f(x)=ax^2+bx+c}[/tex]

Example:

[tex]f(x)= -3x^2-9x+57[/tex] is a function where [tex]a=-3[/tex], [tex]b=-9[/tex] and [tex]c=57[/tex].

Okay, in our problem, we need to find the value of x when [tex]f(x)=0[/tex]. That's mean that the result of our function is equal to zero. Therefore, we have the quadratic equation below:

[tex]x^2+4x-5=0[/tex]

To solve a quadratic equation, we use the Bhaskara's formula. Do you remember the value of a, b and c? They going to be important right now. This is the Bhaskara's formula:

[tex]\boxed{x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} }[/tex]

So, let's see the values of a, b and c in our equation and apply them in the Bhaskara's formula:

In [tex]x^2+4x-5=0[/tex] equation, [tex]a=1[/tex], [tex]b=4[/tex] and [tex]c=-5[/tex]. Let's replace those values:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^2-4\times1\times(-5)} }{2\cdot1}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{16-(-20)} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{16 + 20)} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{36} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm 6 }{2}[/tex]

From now, we have two possibilities:

To add:

[tex]x_1 = \frac{-4+6}{2} \\x_1=\frac{2}{2} \\x_1=1[/tex]

To subtract:

[tex]x_2=\frac{-4-6}{2} \\x_2=\frac{-10}{2} \\x_2=-5[/tex]

Therefore, the result of our problem is: [tex]x_1 = 1[/tex] and [tex]x_2=-5[/tex].

I hope I've helped. ^^

Enjoy your studies.  \o/

Which characteristic of dilations compares segment F'H' to segment FH

Answers

Answer:

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]E = (0,1)[/tex]             [tex]E' = (-1,2)[/tex]

[tex]F = (1,1)[/tex]             [tex]F' = (1,2)[/tex]

[tex]G = (2,0)[/tex]             [tex]G' =(3,0)[/tex]

[tex]H = (0,0)[/tex]            [tex]H' = (-1,0)[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (1,0)[/tex] -- center

[tex]k = 2[/tex] --- scale factor

See comment for proper format of question

Required

Compare FH to F'H'

From the question, we understand that the scale of dilation from EFGH to E'F'G'H is 2;

Irrespective of the center of dilation, the distance between corresponding segment will maintain the scale of dilation.

i.e.

[tex]|F'H'| = k * |FH|[/tex]

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

To prove this;

Calculate distance of segments FH and F'H' using:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]F = (1,1)[/tex]             [tex]F' = (1,2)[/tex]

[tex]H = (0,0)[/tex]            [tex]H' = (-1,0)[/tex]

We have:

[tex]FH = \sqrt{(1- 0)^2 + (1- 0)^2}[/tex]

[tex]FH = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]FH = \sqrt{1 + 1}[/tex]

[tex]FH = \sqrt{2}[/tex]

Similarly;

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(1 --1)^2 + (2 -0)^2}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (2)^2}[/tex]

Distribute

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2(1 +1)}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2*2}[/tex]

Split

[tex]F'H' = \sqrt{(2)^2} *\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = 2 *\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]F'H' = 2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]2\sqrt 2 = 2 * \sqrt 2[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt 2 = 2\sqrt 2[/tex] --- true

Hence, the dilation relationship between FH and F'H' is::

[tex]|F'H'| = 2 * |FH|[/tex]

A die is rolled 20 times and the number of twos that come up is tallied. Find the probability of getting the given result. [Binomail Probability] Less than four twos

Answers

Answer:

0.5665 = 56.65% probability of less than four twos.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each roll, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a two, or it is not a two. The probability of a roll ending up in a two is independent of any other roll, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A die is rolled 20 times

This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]

One out of six sides is 2:

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667[/tex]

Probability of less than four twos:

This is:

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.1667)^{0}.(0.8333)^{20} = 0.0261[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.1667)^{1}.(0.8333)^{19} = 0.1043[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.1667)^{2}.(0.8333)^{18} = 0.1982[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.1667)^{3}.(0.8333)^{17} = 0.2379[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0261 + 0.1043 + 0.1982 + 0.2379 = 0.5665[/tex]

0.5665 = 56.65% probability of less than four twos.

Perform the following series of rigid transformations on ∆ABC: Translate ∆ABC by moving it 5 units to the right and 2 units up. Draw the line y = -x, and reflect ∆A'B'C' across the line. Rotate ∆A''B''C'' counterclockwise about the origin by 270°.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units right and b units up, the new point is at A'(x + a, y + b).

If a point A(x, y) is reflected across the line y = -x, the new point is at A'(-y, -x).

If a point A(x, y) is rotated counterclockwise by 270 degrees, the new point is at A'(y, -x).

Let us assume that triangle ABC has vertices at A(-6, -1), B(-3, -3) and C(-1, -2).

If it is moved 5 units to the right and 2 units up, the new point is at A'(-1, 1), B'(1, -1) and C'(3, 0). If it is reflected across the line y = -x, the vertices are at A"(-1, 1), B"(1, -1) and C"(0, -3). If it is then rotated counterclockwise about the origin by 270°, the new point is at A'"(-1, -1), B"'(1, 1), C"'(3, 0)

A professor has learned that nine students in her class of 35 will cheat on the exam. She decides to focus her attention on ten randomly chosen students during the exam. a. What is the probability that she finds at least one of the students cheating

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{73,331}{75,516}\approx 97.11\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that she will find at least one student cheating is equal to the probability that she finds no students cheating subtracted from 1.

Each time she randomly chooses a student the probability she will catch a cheater is equal to the number of cheaters divided by the number of students.

Therefore, for the first student she chooses, there is a [tex]\frac{9}{35}[/tex] chance that the student chosen is a cheater and therefore a [tex]\frac{26}{35}[/tex] chance she does not catch a cheater. For the second student, there are only 34 students to choose from. If we stipulate that the first student chosen was not a cheater, then there is a [tex]\frac{9}{34}[/tex] chance she will catch a cheater and a [tex]\frac{25}{34}[/tex] chance she does not catch the cheater.

Therefore, the probability she does not catch a single cheater after randomly choosing ten students is equal to:

[tex]\frac{26}{35}\cdot \frac{25}{34}\cdot \frac{24}{33}\cdot \frac{23}{32}\cdot \frac{22}{31}\cdot \frac{21}{30}\cdot \frac{20}{29}\cdot \frac{19}{28}\cdot \frac{18}{27}\cdot \frac{17}{26}[/tex]

Subtract this from one to get the probability she finds at least one of the students cheating after randomly selecting nine students. Let event A occur when the professor finds at least one student cheating after randomly selecting ten students from a group of 35 students.

[tex]P(A)=1-\frac{26}{35}\cdot \frac{25}{34}\cdot \frac{24}{33}\cdot \frac{23}{32}\cdot \frac{22}{31}\cdot \frac{21}{30}\cdot \frac{20}{29}\cdot \frac{19}{28}\cdot \frac{18}{27}\cdot \frac{17}{26},\\\\P(A)=1-\frac{2,185}{75,516},\\\\P(A)=\boxed{\frac{73,331}{75,516}}\approx 0.97106573441\approx \boxed{97.11\%}[/tex]

Certify Completion Icon Tries remaining:2 A town recently dismissed 10 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions. The town had 7 employees over 50 years of age and 18 under 50. If the dismissed employees were selected at random, what is the probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50

Answers

Answer:

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The employees are removed from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

7 + 18 = 25 employees, which means that [tex]N = 25[/tex]

7 over 50, which means that [tex]k = 7[/tex]

10 dismissed, which means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

What is the probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50?

This is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = h(5,25,10,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{18,5}}{C_{25,10}} = 0.055[/tex]

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.
