1 - Os coeficientes numéricos de uma equação do 2º grau (ax² + bx + c = 0), são números reais representados pelas letras “a, b e c”. Para que uma equação do 2º grau possa existir, é necessário que o coeficiente “a” seja DIFERENTE de: * 1 ponto a) -2 b) -1 c) 0 d) 1 2) Usando o método de Tentativa e Erro, visto na aula, qual das alternativas abaixo representa uma raiz da equação: x²-5x+6=0 * 1 ponto a) x = 0 b) x = 1 c) x = 2 c) x = -2
Answer:
1) La opción correcta es;
c) 0
2) La opción correcta es;
c) x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) La forma general de una ecuación cuadrática se puede escribir en la forma;
a · x² + b · x + c = 0
Dónde;
a, y b son los coeficientes de x², x y c es el término constante
Por tanto, para que exista un polinomio de 2º grado es necesario que el coeficiente a sea diferente de 0
De lo que tenemos;
(0) × x² + b · x + c = 0, lo que da;
(0) × x² + b · x + c = b · x + c = 0 que es una ecuación lineal o un polinomio de primer grado
Por tanto, la opción correcta es c) 0
2)
La ecuación dada se presenta como sigue;
f (x) = x² - 5 · x + 6 = 0
Usando el método de prueba y error, tenemos;
Cuando x = 0
f (0) = 0² - 5 · (0) + 6 = 6 que no es igual a 0 y, por lo tanto, no es una solución
Cuando x = 1
f (1) = (1) ² - 5 · (1) + 6 = 1 que no es igual a 0 y por lo tanto, no es una solución
Cuando x = 2
f (2) = (2) ² - 5 · (2) + 6 = 0 que es igual a 0 y por lo tanto, es una solución
Cuando x = -2
f (1) = (-2) ² - 5 × (-2) + 6 = 20 que no es igual a 0 y por lo tanto, no es una solución
Por tanto, la opción correcta es c) x = 2
Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 4 quarts per day. Express this rate of flow in liters per week. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
26.5 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 1 gallon is 4 quarts, and 1 gallon is approx. 3.78 liters. There's 7 days in a week, so 7 gallons of water is being flowed through. Multiplying 3.78 by 7, we get 26.46 liters per week. Rounding to the nearest tenth, and we get 26.5 liters.

(−1,−8), (0,−1),(1,2) A. f(x)=−3x2+10x−1 B. f(x)=−3x2+4x−1 C. f(x)=−2x2+5x−1 D. f(x)=−5x2+8x−1 3) Find the equation of a parabola that has a vertex (3,5) and passes through the point (1,13). A. y=−3(x−3)2+5 B. y=2(x−3)2+5 C. y=−2(x−3)2+5 D. y=2(x+3)2−5
Answer:
1) f(x) = 4·x² - 3·x + 6
2) f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1
3) y = 2·(x - 3)² + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The quadratic function that is represented by the points (0, 6), (2, 16), (3, 33) is found as follows
The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c
Where, in (x, y), f(x) = y, and x = x
Therefore for the point (0, 6), we have;
6 = 0·x² + 0·x + c
c = 6
We have c = 6
For the point (2, 16), we have;
16 = a·2² + b·2 + 6
10 = 4·a + 2·b.............................(1)
For the point (3, 33), we have;
33 = a·3² + b·3 + 6
27 = 9·a + 3·b............................(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 1.5 and subtract it from equation (2), we have;
1.5 × (10 = 4·a + 2·b)
15 = 6·a + 3·b
27 = 9·a + 3·b - (15 = 6·a + 3·b) gives;
27 - 15 = 9·a - 6·a+ 3·b - 3·b
12 = 3·a
a = 12/3 = 4
a = 4
From equation (1), we have;
10 = 4·a + 2·b = 4×4 + 2·b
10 - 4×4 = 2·b
10 - 16 = 2·b
-6 = 2·b
b = -3
The function, f(x) = 4·x² - 3·x + 6
2) Where the points are (-1, -8), (0, -1), (1, 2), we have;
For point (-1, -8), we have -8 = a·(-1)² - b·(-1) + c = a - b + c......(1)
For point (0, 1), we have -1 = a×0² + b×0 + c = c.........................(2)
For point (1, 2), we have 2 = a×1²+ b×1 + c = a + b + c..............(3)
Adding equation (1) to equation (3) gives
-8 + 2 = a - b + c + a + b + c = 2·a + 2·c where, c = -1, we have
-8 + 2 = -6 = 2·a + 2
2·a = -6 + 2 = - 4
a = -8/2 = -2
From equation (3), we have;
2 = a + b + c
b = 2 - a - c = 2 - (-2) - (-1) = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5
f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1
3) The equation of a parabola that has vertex (3, 5) and passing through the point (1, 13) is given by the vertex equation of a parabola
The vertex equation of a parabola is y = a(x - h)² + k
Where;
(h, k) = Vertex (3, 5)
(x, y) = (1, 13)
We have
13 = a·(1 - 3)² + 5
13 = a·(-2)² + 5
13 - 5 = a·(-2)² = 4·a
4·a = 8
a = 8/4 = 2
The equation is y = 2·(x - 3)² + 5.

The answer would be 30% (although I don't see that as an answer).
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because when you multiply the denominator times a number that makes the denominator 100 and multiply that same number by the numerator you get the percentage of the sample you are looking at on the numerator.
15/50 = (15*2)/(50*2) = 30/100 = 30%

A grocery sold 5kg of wheat flour at Rs30 per kg and gained 20%. If he had sold it at Rs27 per kg, what would be his gain or loss percent.
Answer:
His gain percent would have been 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to answering this question is to first calculate the price at which the wheat flour was bought.
Mathematically;
% profit = (selling price-cost price)/cost price * 100%
Let the cost price be $x
Thus;
% profit = (30-x)/x * 100
20 = 100(30-x)/x
20x = 3000-100x
100x + 20x = 3000
120x = 3000
x = 3000/120
x = Rs 25
So let’s assume he sold at Rs 27
His profit would have been 27-25 = 2
His gain or loss percentage would’ve been;
2/25 * 100/1 = 200/25 = 8% (gain, since selling price is greater than the cost price)

Step-by-step explanation: It's very easy to make mistakes in order of operations problems if you try to do too much of the problem in your head.
It really is worth the extra time it takes to write out every step.
P E M D A S
Parenthses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction
In this problem, simplify (14 - 2³) first
because it's located inside the parenthses.
2³ is 8 so our second step reads 5(14 - 8) + 8 ÷ 2.
14 - 8 is 6 so we have 5(6) + 8 ÷ 2.
Now multiplication and division are based on order of appearance.
Since multiplication comes first, we do it first.
5(6) is 30 so we have 30 + 8 ÷ 2.
Now we can do the division.
8 ÷ 2 is 4 and we have 30 + 4 which is 34.

Answer:
x = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ UWV is an angle in a semicircle and is right = 90°
VW = UW thus Δ UVW is right isosceles, thus
∠ UVW = ∠ WUV = 45° ( sum of angles in triangle ) , thus
x - 39 = 45 ( add 39 to both sides )
x = 84

1. An atom consist of charged particles called electrons and protons. Each proton has a charge of +1 and each electron has a charge of -1.Remember number of electrons is equal to number of protons, while answering these questions i) What is the charge on an atom? Ii) What will be the charge of an atom if it loses an electron? Iii) What will be the charge of an atom if it gains an electron?
Answer:
I) no charge
ii) it will be positively charged
iiI) it will be negatively charged
Step-by-step explanation:
An atom is composed of electrons, neutrons and protons. Electrons are negatively charged while protons are positively charged. The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are exactly the same. This ensures the electrical neutrality of the atom.
However, if an atom looses an electron, there are now more protons than electrons present in the atom hence the atom is positively charged.
Similarly, if an atom gains an electron, it now contains more electrons than protons, hence it is negatively charged.

Answer:
each shirt costs $17.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the equation 4(12.50) + 4(2x) = 190
because each friend (4 total friends) get one hat and two shirts.
we simplify the equation to 50 + 8x = 190
subtract 50 from both sides
8x = 140
divide both sides by 8
x = 17.5
therefore, each shirt costs $17.50.

[tex]x=\dfrac{1}{2}(y-5)^2+7[/tex] ...(2)
On comparing (1) and (2), we get
[tex]h=7,k=5,a=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
So, vertex of parabola is (7,5).
Length of latus rectum is
[tex]L.R.=\left|\dfrac{1}{a}\right|=\left|\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}\right|=2[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the latus rectum is 2 units.

Pattern A: 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10
Pattern B: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
Pattern A: 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10
Pattern B: 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15
Pattern A: 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30
Pattern B: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
Answer:
The correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two patterns are defined as follows:
Pattern A starts at 20 and has the rule 'subtract 2'.Pattern B starts at 20 and has the rule 'subtract 1'.Form the two patterns as follows:
Pattern A : 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0
Pattern B : 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
The first several terms of Patterns A and B are shown by:
Pattern A: 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10
Pattern B: 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15
Thus, the correct option is C.
