what are the zeroes of f(x)=(x-7)(x+8)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The zeroes of f(x) = (x-7)(x+8) are 7 and -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to figure out what makes each of the equal to zero.

Step 1 : Make the 2 equations both equal 0.

x-7 = 0

x+8 = 0

Step 2: Solve for x

x-7 = 0

x=7

x+8 = 0

x=-8

So 7 and -8 are both zeroes of this function.

Which of the following is the result of the equation below after completing the square and factoring? x^2-4x+2=10

A. (x-2)^2=14
B. (x-2)^2=12

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B. (x-2)^2=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant that completes the square is the square of half the coefficient of the x-term. That value is (-4/2)^2 = 4.

There is already a constant of 2 on the left side of the equal sign, so we need to add 2 to both sides to bring that constant value up to 4.

  x^2 -4x +2 = 10 . . . . . . . given

  x^2 -4x +2 +2 = 10 +2 . . . . complete the square (add 2 to both sides)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

____________For __ Against __ No Opinion

21-40 years _________20 _______5

41-60 years ___20 ______________20

Over 60 years _55____ 15________ 5

Given that :

40% of 21-40 are against

Then :

40% = 20

To a obtain 100% of 21 - 40

40% = 20

100% = x

Cross multiply

0.4x = 20

x = 20/0.4

x = 50

100% of 21 - 40 = 50 people

For = 50 - (20 + 5)

= 50 - 25

= 25

Total who have no opinion :

(5 + 20 + 5) = 30

30 = 15%

Total number surveyed will be , x :

30 = 15%

x = 100%

Cross multiply :

0.15x = 30

x = 30/0.15

x = 200

Number of 41 - 60 against an increase, y:

(25 + 20 + 5 + 20 + y + 20 + 55 + 15 + 5) = 200

165 + y = 200

There are four different colored balls in a bag. There is equal probability of selecting the red, black, green, or blue ball.What is the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement?

Answers

Answer:

The expected value is of 5 green balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each experiment, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a green ball, or it is not. Since there is replacement, the probability of a green ball being taken in an experiment is independent of any other experiments, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

20 experiments

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

There is equal probability of selecting the red, black, green, or blue ball.

This means that 1 in 4 are green, so [tex]p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

What is the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement?

[tex]E(X) = np = 20*0.25 = 5[/tex]

The expected value is of 5 green balls.

The expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement is 5.

What is a binomial distribution?

The binomial probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments is the binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

As it is given that the probability of all the balls coming out of the bag is equal. Therefore, the probability of a green ball coming can be written as,

[tex]\text{Probability of Green Ball} = 0.25[/tex]

Also, we can write the probability of not getting a green ball can also be written as,

[tex]\rm Probability(\text{Not coming Green Ball}) = P(Red\ ball)+P(Black\ ball)+P(Blue\ ball)[/tex]

                                                         [tex]=0.25+0.25+0.25\\\\=0.75[/tex]

Now, as there are only two outcomes possible, therefore, the distribution of the probability is a binomial distribution. And we know that the expected value of a binomial distribution is given as,

[tex]\rm Expected\ Value, E(x) = np[/tex]

where n is the number of trials while p represents the probability.

Now, substituting the values, we will get the expected value,

[tex]\rm Expected\ Value, E(Green\ ball) = 20 \times 0.25 = 5[/tex]

Hence, the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement is 5.

Use reduction of order to find a second linearly independent solution
(2x+5)y′′−4(x+3)y′+4y=0,x>−52,y1=e2x

Answers

Given that exp(2x) is a solution, we assume another solution of the form

y(x) = v(x) exp(2x) = v exp(2x)

with derivatives

y' = v' exp(2x) + 2v exp(2x)

y'' = v'' exp(2x) + 4v' exp(2x) + 4v exp(2x)

Substitute these into the equation:

(2x + 5) (v'' exp(2x) + 4v' exp(2x) + 4v exp(2x)) - 4 (x + 3) (v' exp(2x) + 2v exp(2x)) + 4v exp(2x) = 0

Each term contains a factor of exp(2x) that can be divided out:

(2x + 5) (v'' + 4v' + 4v) - 4 (x + 3) (v' + 2v) + 4v = 0

Expanding and simplifying eliminates the v term:

(2x + 5) v'' + (4x + 8) v' = 0

Substitute w(x) = v'(x) to reduce the order of the equation, and you're left with a linear ODE:

(2x + 5) w' + (4x + 8) w = 0

w' + (4x + 8)/(2x + 5) w = 0

I'll use the integrating factor method. The IF is

µ(x) = exp( ∫ (4x + 8)/(2x + 5) dx ) = exp(2x - log|2x + 5|) = exp(2x)/(2x + 5)

Multiply through the ODE in w by µ :

µw' + µ (4x + 8)/(2x + 5) w = 0

The left side is the derivative of a product:

[µw]' = 0

Integrate both sides:

∫ [µw]' dx = ∫ 0 dx

µw = C

Replace w with v', then integrate to solve for v :

exp(2x)/(2x + 5) v' = C

v' = C (2x + 5) exp(-2x)

v' dx = ∫ C (2x + 5) exp(-2x) dx

v = C₁ (x + 3) exp(-2x) + C₂

Replace v with y exp(-2x) and solve for y :

y exp(-2x) = C₁ (x + 3) exp(-2x) + C₂

y = C₁ (x + 3) + C₂ exp(2x)

It follows that the second fundamental solution is y = x + 3. (The exp(2x) here is already accounted for as the first solution.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since b is the number of boxes of cards and n is the number of ink colors, and we're given the number of boxes of cards, and number of ink colors, we plug in:

4= b

and

3 = n

into the given equation to solve for C.

Using the order of operations we start inside our parentheses and work from there:

C= $25.60*4 + $14.00*4(3 - 1)

I believe this is your question:

Answer:

210 degrees

Explanation:

Coterminal angles begin on the same initial side and end or terminate on the same side as an angle. Example 45 degrees and 405 degrees are coterminal angles because they both begin and end on the same side.

To find an angle between 0 and 360 that is coterminal with 570 degrees, w simply subtract 360 degrees from 570, hence:

570-360=210 degrees

570 degrees is coterminal with 210 degrees

Describe how the graph of y = |x - 2| - 5 is a transformation of the graph of y = |x|. Use terms such as "shifted", "reflected", "stretched", or "compressed".

Answers

Answer:

The original graph was shifted 2 units to the left and 5 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = |x|

From this, we go to: y = |x - 2|.

When we want to shift a function f(x) a units to the left, we find f(x - a). So first, the graph was shifted 2 units to the left.

y = |x - 2|.

From this, we go to: y = |x - 2| - 5.

Shifting a function f(x) down b units is the same as finding f(x) - b, so the second transformation was shifting the graph 5 units down.

At what x value does the function given below have a hole?

f(x)=x+3/x2−9

Answers

Answer:

hole at x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The hole is the discontinuity that exists after the fraction reduces. (Still doesn't exist for original of course)

The discontinuities for this expression is when the bottom is 0. x^2-9=0 when x=3 or x=-3 since squaring either and then subtracting 9 would lead to 0.

So anyways we have (x+3)/(x^2-9)

= (x+3)/((x-3)(x+3))

Now this equals 1/(x-3) with a hole at x=-3 since the x+3 factor was "cancelled" from the denominator.

Answer:

Option D is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

f(x) = 10/9 X + 11

Let f(X) be "y".

y = (10/9) X + 11

Interchange "X" and "y".

x = (10/9) y + 11

or, 9x = 10y + 99

or, y = (9x-99)/10

Therefore, f'(X) = (9x-99)/10.

Exercise 2.2.3: The cardinality of a power set. (a) What is the cardinality of P({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6})

Answers

Answer:

Cardinality of the power set of the given set = [tex]2^6=64[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Power set is the set of all the possible subsets that can be formed from the given set including the null set and the set itself.

Example set:

{1,2,3}

All the possible subsets of this set:

{}; {1}; {2}; {3}; {1,2,3}; {1,2}; {1,3}; {2,3}

The power set of the above set is written as:

P({ {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3} })

Since the no. of elements in the above power set in this example is 8 therefore its cardinality is 8.

Cardinality of the power set of a given set is expressed by a formula: [tex]2^n[/tex]

where n is the cardinality (no. of elements) of the given set whose power set is to be formed for determining cardinality of the power set.

Hence in the given case, we have  n = 6.
