If 1 and -1 are the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = ax 3 + x 2 − 2x + b, find the values of a and b

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

             a = 2,    b = -1  

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = ax³ + x² - 2x + b

p(1) = a(1)³ + 1² - 2•1 + b = a + 1 - 2 + b = a + b - 1

a + b - 1 = 0  ⇒   b = 1 - a

p(-1) = a(-1)³ + (-1)² - 2(-1) + b = -a + 1 + 2 + b = - a + b + 3

- a + b + 3 = 0    ∧   b = 1 - a

- a + (1 - a) + 3 = 0

- a + 1 - a + 3 = 0

-2a + 4 = 0

-2a = -4

 a = 2

b = 1 - 2 = -1

Compute the range and interquartile range for the data collected for boys and girls. Describe their differences in detail using specific terms of spread. (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

The measure of central tendency, mean and median are approximately equal for the boys indicating that the data of the boys is more evenly spread while standard deviation of the girls data is less than those of the boys indicating that the data for the girls is less widely spread.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are;

,             1       2       3      4     5      6       7    8      9      10

Girls,    50    32     15    56   81    50     18    81    22    55

Boys,   75     41     25    22    7     0      43    12    45    70

Sorting the data gives;

Girls,     15,   18,     22,   32,  50,   50,   55,  56,    81,  81

Boys,     0,     7,     12,     22, 25,    41,    43, 45,     70, 75

For the even numbered sample data size, the first quartile, Q₁ is found by sharing the data into two and finding the median of the left half which  gives;

10/2 = 5 on each half

The first quartile, Q₁, is the median of the left 5 data points which is the 3rd data point = 22 for girls and 12 for boys

The third quartile, Q₃, is found in similar method to be the 8th data point which is 56 for girls and 45 for boys

The median = 50 for girls and 33 for boys

Therefore, the interquartile ranges are;

IQR = 56 - 22 = 34 for girls, 45 - 12 = 33 for boys

We check for outliers.

Q₁ - 1.5×IQR = 22 - 1.5*34 = -29

Q₃ + 1.5×IQR = 56 + 1.5*34 = 107

We check the mean of both data samples as follows;

Average for the girls = 46

Average for the boys = 34

Standard deviation for girls = 23.99

Standard deviation for girls = 25.43

Therefore, the measure of central tendency is more accurate for the boys indicating that the data of the boys is more evenly spread while the data for the girls is less widely spread.

assume the initial velocity is 60 feet/second. what is the maximum horizontal distance possible and at what angle does this occur

Answers

Answer:

h = 112.5 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for horizontal distance "h" in feet of a projectile with initial velocity v₀ and initial angle theta is given by :

[tex]h=\dfrac{v_o^2}{16}\sin\theta\cos\theta[/tex]

We know that, [tex]2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\sin2\theta[/tex]

So,

[tex]h=\dfrac{v_o^2}{32}\sin2\theta[/tex]

Now we need to find the maximum horizontal distance possible and at what angle does this occur.

For maximum distance angle should be 45 degrees. Som,

[tex]h=\dfrac{60^2}{32}\sin2(45)\\\\h=112.5\ \text{feet}[/tex]

So, 112.5 feets is the maximum possible distance.

A triangle has one side that lies along the line y=1/4x and another that lies along the line y=-1/4x. Which of the following points could be a vertex of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

We know that our triangle has one side along the line:

y = (1/4)*x

And other side along the line:

y = -(1/4)*x.

Now, we want to find the vertex.

And we know that the vertex is the point where the two sides conect, so the vertex must be a common point of both lines.

Then we have:

y = (1/4)*x = -(1/4)*x

x = -x

The only solution to that equation is x = 0.

now we evaluate our lines in x = 0 and get:

y = (1/4)*0 = 0

y = -(1/4)*0 = 0

Then the lines intersect in the point (0, 0)

Then the vertex must be in the point (0, 0)

A. The line best fit shows a positive correlation between month number and minutes

B. The line of best fits shows a negative correlation between the number of months and the number of minutes

C. The line of best fits shows no correlation between the month number and the number of minutes

Answers

Answer:

B. The line of best fits shows a negative correlation between the number of months and the number of minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scatter plot, when the data points are clustered along the line of best fit, it shows a trend, and it implies there's a correlation between the x-variable and the y-varisble.

Also, when the line of best fit slopes upward, from your left to your far right, it shows a positive correlation between the variables on the x-axis and y-axis.

On the other hand, if the line of best fit slopes downwards, from your left down to your right, this shows a negative correlation.

Thus, considering the line of best fit in the question, the line of best fit shows a negative correlation between the number of months and the number of minutes. The line of best fit slopes downwards, from your left to your right.

This shows that, as month number increases, number of minutes decreases.

A student finds the slope of the line between (8,17,) and (1,4) she writes 17-4/1-8 What mistake did she make?

Answers

The first mistake is that she didn't use parenthesis to indicate we're dividing all of one thing (numerator) over all of another expression (denominator)

slope = rise/run = numerator/denominator

So she should write (17-4)/(1-8) to indicate all of "17-4" is divided over all of "1-8"

However, there's another error that your teacher is probably more focused on. Note how 17-4 represents subtracting the y coordinates from left to right. We start with the left point y coordinate 17 and subtract off the right point y coordinate 4

left y - right y = 17 - 4

But then the student swaps the order when they wrote 1-8. Instead it should be 8-1

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

Here's what they should have written (17-4)/(8-1)

This is the same as (4-17)/(1-8)

We can subtract in any order as long as it stays consistent between the numerator and denominator

The statement 'C' explains the difference between a plane and a ray.

i.e. A plane does not have a formal definition, and a ray is described through undefined terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane does not have a formal definition, and a ray is described through undefined terms. The statement is true because

A plane is basically an undefined term as it could be named using three non-straight points - also called noncollinear points. A plane is basically a flat two-dimensional object having no thickness.

In Geometry, we have a variety of undefined terms, including point, line and plane. All other terms in Mathematics (Geometry) could be defined from the mentioned three undefined terms.

Therefore, the statement 'C' explains the difference between a plane and a ray.

What is the arithmetic operator?

A summation, also abbreviated as a sum, is the outcome of adding two or more numbers or quantities.

The division is to divide two numbers by each other example 2/4.

The division is a very common phenomenon in mathematics so we need to divide two numbers or expressions.

Subtraction is a mathematical operation such that two values are going to subtract and give a resultant value.

The most common mathematical operation is multiplication, which involves adding two or more integers to get a new multiplied number.

Given,

405/99

If we divide 405 by 99 then it will go 4 times and leave the remainder as 9.

Further, we make a decimal and again divide it will go 090909091 so it means it is repeating 09 four times.

Hence, 4.05 repeating is not equivalent to 405/99.

Each day that a library book is kept past its due date a 30 dollar fee is charged at midnight which ordered pair is a viable solution if x represents the number of days that a library book is late and y represents the total fee

Answers

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

Each day that a library book is kept past its due date, a $0.30 fee is charged at midnight. Which ordered pair is a viable solution if x represents the number of days that a library book is late and y represents the total fee?

Answers:

(–3, –0.90)

(–2.5, –0.75)

(4.5, 1.35)

(8, 2.40)

Answer

(8, 2.40)

Step by step Explanation

✓We can denote the number of days library book is late = X,

✓We can denote the the total fee = Y.

We were told $0.30 fee is charged at midnight.

Then for lateness for just 1day,the charged fees= 1day ×

$0.30

For X number of days the charged fees= Xday ×$0.30

Therefore, total charge for lateness for X number of days late = Y.

Then can be expressed as

Y= 0.30 * X...............eqn(1)

We can now test the option one after the other

FIRST OPTION (-3, -0.9)

Here we should know the number of days cannot be negative so there is no need of testing in the equation (1)

SECOND OPTION (-2.5, -0.75)

Here we should know the number of days cannot be negative so there is no need of testing in the equation (1)

THIRD OPTION(4.5, 1.35)

here the number of days will definitely be a whole number not 4.5, it's either

charge for 4 days or 5 days.

FORTH OPTION (8, 2.40)

this should be correct because the number of days is whole number and not negative, then if we test it from our equation it satisfy the equation too

Y= 0.30 * X...............eqn(1)

Y= 0.30 * X

2.40= 0.30 * 8

2.40 = 2.40.

Therefore, (8, 2.40) is the answer
