Find the zeros of y = x2 – 6x – 4 by completing the square.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The solutions to the quadratic equations are:

[tex]x=\sqrt{13}+3,\:x=-\sqrt{13}+3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

[tex]y\:=\:x^2\:-\:6x\:-\:4[/tex]

substitute y = 0 in the equation to determine the zeros

[tex]0\:=\:x^2\:-\:6x\:-\:4[/tex]

Switch sides

[tex]x^2-6x-4=0[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides

[tex]x^2-6x-4+4=0+4[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x^2-6x=4[/tex]

Rewrite in the form (x+a)² = b

But, in order to rewrite in the form x²+2ax+a²

Solve for 'a'

2ax = -6x

a = -3

so add a² = (-3)² to both sides

[tex]x^2-6x+\left(-3\right)^2=4+\left(-3\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2-6x+\left(-3\right)^2=13[/tex]

Apply perfect square formula:  (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²

[tex]\left(x-3\right)^2=13[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}[/tex]

solve

[tex]x-3=\sqrt{13}[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides

[tex]x-3+3=\sqrt{13}+3[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x=\sqrt{13}+3[/tex]

now solving

[tex]x-3=-\sqrt{13}[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides

[tex]x-3+3=-\sqrt{13}+3[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x=-\sqrt{13}+3[/tex]

Thus, the solutions to the quadratic equations are:

[tex]x=\sqrt{13}+3,\:x=-\sqrt{13}+3[/tex]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

When you graph y=4 it is a horizontial line going straight forever. You would mark a dot on postive four on the y-axis. For x, do the same thing mark on the negative three on the x-axis. But this one will be vertical.

REMEMBER-

Although the x-axis is horizontial when there is no Y (x,y) it will be vertical. And it is opposite for the Y.

Answer
The multiplicative rate of change that should be in Hal’s function = 49/50=0.98
=9.8×10⁻¹

Explanation
The investment of $10,000 decreases by 2% every year. So the following year is usually (100 - 2)=98% of the previous year. This is a geometric progression.
In this case the first term = 10000
The second term = 98% × 10000 = 9800.
The common ratio = 9800/10000=49/50
The multiplicative rate of change that should be in Hal’s function = 49/50=0.98.
The equation of the exponential rate would be;
10,000ₓ0.98ⁿ.
where n is the number years.

Answer:

Answer:

1). Option (A)

2). Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

1). A worker bee has the mass = 0.00011 kg

  In scientific notation we can convert the mass of bee as,

  0.00011 =

                =

  Since 1.1 ≈ 1,

  Therefore, 1.1 × 10⁻⁴ ≈ 1 × 10⁻⁴ kg

  Option (A) is the answer.

2). An African elephant has a mass = 8139 kg

   In scientific notation,

   8139 = 8.139 × 10³

   Since, 8.139 ≈ 8

   Therefore, 8139 kg = 8.139 × 10³ kg

   Option (A) is the answer.

What is Distance Formula?

The distance between two points P(a, b)a nd Q(c, d) is

D = √(c- a)² + (d- b)²

Given:

Center at (-2,7) if a point on the circle has coordinates (3,-1).

Using Distance Formula

D = √( 3-(-2))² + (1-7)²

D = √ (3 +2)² + (-6)²

D = √5² + 36

D = √25+36

D = √61

D= 7.81 unit

Hence, the length of radius is 7.81 unit.

Consider all four-digit numbers that can be made from the digits 0-9 (assume that numbers cannot start with 0). What is the probability of choosing a random number from this group that is less than or equal to 5000

Answers

Answer: 0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's count the total number of four-digit numbers.

Let's think it as four empty slots:

_ _ _ _

In each slot, we can put a single digit.

In the first slot, we have 9 options {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

The zero is not an option here, because if there was a 0, this would be a 3 digit number, then the 0 can not be in the first slot.

For the second slot we have 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

for the third slot we have 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

for the fourth slot we have 10 options {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options for each slot, this means that we have:

Combinations = 9*10*10*10 = 9000

So there are 9000 different 4 digit numbers.

Now we want to find the probability of selecting a number at random that is equal or smaller than 5000.

Let's see the number of 4-digit numbers that are equal or smaller than 5000.

The smallest 4-digit number is 1000.

Then the number of numbers between 1000 and 5000 is:

5000 - 1000 = 4000

This means that there are 4000 4-digit numbers that are equal or smaller than 5000.

Now, the probability of selecting one of them at random is equal to the quotient between the number of 4-digit numbers that meet the condition (4000) and the total number of 4-digits (9000)

Then te probability is:

P = 4000/9000 = 4/9 = 0.44

The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min. If one such class is randomly selected, find the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min.

Answers

Answer: the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min is  0.1 ≈ 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data;

lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min

hence, height = 1 / ( 52.0 - 50.0) = 1 / 2

now the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min = ?

P( 50.8 < X < 51 ) = base × height

= ( 51 - 50.8) × 1/2

= 0.2 × 0.5

= 0.1 ≈ 10%  

therefore the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min is  0.1 ≈ 10%

3x-2y=1x+4y=33 elimination process ​

Answers

Answer:

x = 5 ; y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2y = 1       --------------------(I)

 x + 4y  = 33 ------------(II)

Multiply equation (II) by (-3) and then add. So, x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y

(I)            3x - 2y = 1

(II)*(-3)   -3x -12y = -99         {Now add}

                 - 14y = -98

                        y = -98/14

y = 7

Plugin y = 7  in equation (I)

3x - 2*7 = 1

  3x - 14 = 1

         3x = 1 + 14

         3x = 15

           x = 15/3

x = 5
