Which values of x are solutions to this equation? -1/2x^2 + 5x = 8
A) -2
B) 2
C) -8
D) -1.5
E) 11.5
F) 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2x^2 + 5x = 8

-x^2 + 10x = 16 (Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2)

-x^2 + 10x  - 16 = 0

x^2 - 10x + 16 = 0 (changing the signs)

x^2 -2x -8x +16 = 0

x (x-2) -8 (x-2) = 0

(x-2) (x-8)

x-2 = 0

x = 2

or

x -8 = 0

x = 8

Answer from Gauthmath

Answer 2

The values of x are solutions to this equation that is 2, 8

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

We are given that the equation as;

-1/2x² + 5x = 8

-x² + 10x = 16

Now Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2;

-x² + 10x  - 16 = 0

Or

x² - 10x + 16 = 0

x² -2x -8x +16 = 0

x (x-2) -8 (x-2) = 0

(x-2) (x-8)

The solution are;

x-2 = 0

x = 2

or

x -8 = 0

x = 8

Answer:

(1,0) and (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Crosses the x axis

When f(x) will cross the x axis, the y coordinate will turn 0, so 0=-5^(x)+5, 5=5^(x) Which is possible when x=1. So (1,0)

Crosses the y axis

When f(x) will cross the y axis, the x coordinate will turn 0, so f(0)=-5^(0)+5, f(0)=-1+5=4. So (0,4)

Polynomials with odd degrees typically make a "u-shaped graph" and polynomials with even degrees typically make an "s-shaped" graph.
True
False

Answers

the answer is True :)

The statement that odd degree polynomials have a u-shaped graph and even degree polynomials have an s-shaped graph is FALSE.

What do odd degree polynomials look like on a graph?

Odd degree polynomials have branches that go in opposing directions which means that they will form an s-shaped graph.

Even degree polynomials on the other hand, have graphs that go in the same direction which is why they form u-shaped graphs.

In conclusion, the above statement is false.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a "translation" - a shift of the object without changing its shadow and size.

this shift is described by a "vector" - in 2D space by the x and y distances to move.

we have here (1, 0) - so, we move every point one unit to the right (positive x direction) and 0 units up/down.

therefore, C is the right answer (the x coordinates of the points are increased by 1, the y coordinate are unchanged).

The function h(x) is quadratic and h(3) = h(-10) = 0. Which could represent h(x)?

1) h(x) = x2 - 13x - 30
2) h(x) = x2 - 7x - 30
3) h(x) = 2x2 + 26x - 60
4) h(x) = 2x2 + 14x - 60

Answers

Answer:

h(x) = 2x^2 +14x -60

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic is of the form

h(x) = ax^2 + bx +c

h(3) = h(-10) = 0

This tells us that the zeros are at x=3 and x = -10

We can write the equation in the form

h(x) = a( x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the zeros

h(x) = a(x-3) (x- -10)

h(x) = a(x-3) (x+10)

FOIL

h(x) = a( x^2 -3x+10x-30)

h(x) = a(x^2 +7x -30)

Let a = 2

h(x) = 2x^2 +14x -60

It means

zeros are 3 and -10

According to the given information, vector stands in the 4th Quadrant ([tex]x > 0[/tex], [tex]y < 0[/tex]) and direction of the vector ([tex]\theta[/tex]) in sexagesimal degrees, is determined by following definition:

Please notice that angle represents a function with a periodicity of 360°.

If we know that [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]y = -3[/tex], then the direction of the vector is:

[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ}-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{|-3|}{|4|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex]

We are given a weighted coin (with one side heads, one side tails), and we want to estimate the unknown probability pp that it will land heads. We flip the coin 1000 times and it happens to land heads 406 times. Give answers in decimal form, rounded to four decimal places (or more). We estimate the chance this coin will land on heads to

Answers

Answer:

0.4060

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the sample proportion, phat, we take the ratio of the number of preferred outcome to the total number of trials ;

Phat = number of times coin lands on head (preferred outcome), x / total number of trials (total coin flips), n

x = 406

n = 1000

Phat = x / n = 406/ 1000 = 0.4060

The estimate of the chance that this coin will land on heads is 0.406

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

If a coin is flipped 1000 times, the total outcomes will 1000

If it landed on the head 406 times, the expected outcome will be 406.

Pr(the coin lands on the head) = 406/1000

Pr(the coin lands on the head) = 0.406

Hence the estimate of the chance that this coin will land on heads is 0.406

25, 33

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the one with equal sides be x

8x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 2 numbers means add the two numbers and divide by 2

(y+z)/2 = 5x

Let z = 2x+3

(y+2x+3)/2 = 5x

Multiply each side by 2

y+2x+3 = 10x

Subtract 2x from each side

y+3 = 10x-2x

y+3 = 8x

Subtract 3

y = 8x-3

The other number is 8x-3

Please show all work

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  105.0°, 255.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

Many calculators do not have a secant function, so the cosine relation must be used.

  sec(θ) = -3.8637

  1/cos(θ) = -3.8637

  cos(θ) = -1/3.8637

  θ = arccos(-1/3.8637) ≈ 105.000013°

The secant and cosine functions are symmetrical about the line θ = 180°, so the other solution in the desired range is ...

  θ = 360° -105.0° = 255.0°

The angles of interest are θ = 105.0° and θ = 255.0°.
