Suppose A Quadratic Equation Has The Form X^2 + X + C = 0. Show That The Constant C Must Be Less Than

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form

ax² + bx + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0 )

Then for the equation to have 2 real roots , the discriminant must be greater than zero , that is

b² - 4ac > 0

x² + x + c = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 1, b = 1, c = c , then

b² - 4ac > 0

1² - (4 × 1 × c) > 0

1 - 4c > 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

- 4c > - 1

Divide both sides by - 4, reversing the inequality as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

c < [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 25 dieters, are chosen for the study.
Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day.
Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 12.7 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.2 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 10.8 pounds with a standard deviation 2.0 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same.

Answers

Answer:

(0.7044 ; 3.0956)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

GROUP A:

n1 = 25

x1 = 12.7

s1 = 2.2

GROUP B :

n2 = 25

x2 = 10.8

s2= 2.0

The obtain the confidence interval assuming unequal population variance :

(x1 - x2) ± tα/2[√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)]

The degree of freedom :

df = (s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)² ÷ (s1²/n1)²/n1-1 + (s2²/n2)²/n2-1

The degree of freedom :

(2.2²/25 + 2²/25)² ÷ (2.2²/25)²/24 + (2²/25)²/24

df = 0.12503296 ÷ (0.0015617 + 0.0010666)

df = 47.57 ;

df = 48

Tcritical value ; α = 95% ; df = 48

Tcritical = 2.0106

C.I = (12.7 - 10.8) ± 2.0106[√(2.2²/25 + 2²/25)]

C.I = 1.9 ± (2.0106 * 0.5946427)

C.I = 1.9 ± 1.1955887

Answers

Answer:

n = 8√2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle θ = 60°

Opposite = 4√6

Hypothenus = n =?

The value of n can be obtained by using the sine ratio as illustrated below:

Sine θ = Opposite / Hypothenus

Sine 60 = 4√6 / n

√3/2 = 4√6 / n

Cross multiply

n × √3 = 2 × 4√6

n × √3 = 8√6

Divide both side by √3

n = 8√6 / √3

Rationalise

n = 8√6 / √3 × (√3/√3)

n = 8√(6×3) / 3

n = 8√18 / 3

Recall

√18 = √(9×2) = √9 × √2 = 3√2

Thus,

n = 8√18 / 3

n = 8 × 3√2 / 3

n = 8√2

Let h(x)=20e^kx where k ɛ R (Picture attached. Thank you so much!)

Answers

Answer:

A)

[tex]k=0[/tex]

B)

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2k + 1& = 2\ln 20 + 1 \\ &\approx 2.3863\end{aligned}[/tex]

C)

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} k - 3&= \ln \frac{1}{2} - 3 \\ &\approx-3.6931 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle h(x) = 20e^{kx} \text{ where } k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

A)

Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find k.

h(1) = 20 means that h(x) = 20 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (20) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]1= e^k[/tex]

Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:

[tex]k=0[/tex]

B)

Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2k + 1.

Likewise, this means that h(x) = 40 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (40) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle 2 = e^{k}[/tex]

We can take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln 2 = \underbrace{k\ln e}_{\ln a^b = b\ln a}[/tex]

By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln 2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]2k+1 = 2\ln 2+ 1 \approx 2.3863[/tex]

C)

Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find k - 3.

Again, this meas that h(x) = 10 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (10) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplfy:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = e^k[/tex]

Take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln \frac{1}{2} = k\ln e[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k - 3 = \ln\frac{1}{2} - 3\approx-3.6931[/tex]

The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property. Compute the probability of selling no more than 55 properties in one week. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(x \le 5) = 0.0110[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 17[/tex] -- number of properties

[tex]p = 60\%[/tex] --- probability of selling a property

Required

[tex]P(x \le 5)[/tex]

The question is an illustration of binomial probability, and it is calculated using:

[tex]P(x ) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(x \le 5) = P(x = 0) +P(x = 1) +P(x = 2) +P(x = 3) +P(x = 4) +P(x = 5)[/tex]

[tex]P(x=0 ) = ^{17}C_0 * (60\%)^0 * (1 - 60\%)^{17-0} = 1.71798692*10^{-7}[/tex]

[tex]P(x=1 ) = ^{17}C_1 * (60\%)^1 * (1 - 60\%)^{17-1} = 0.00000438086[/tex]

[tex]P(x=2 ) = ^{17}C_2 * (60\%)^2 * (1 - 60\%)^{17-1} = 0.00005257039[/tex]

[tex]P(x=3 ) = ^{17}C_3 * (60\%)^3 * (1 - 60\%)^{17-3} = 0.00039427799[/tex]

[tex]P(x=4 ) = ^{17}C_4 * (60\%)^4 * (1 - 60\%)^{17-4} = 0.00206995948[/tex]

[tex]P(x=5 ) = ^{17}C_5 * (60\%)^5 * (1 - 60\%)^{17-5} = 0.008072842[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(x \le 5) = 1.71798692*10^{-7}+0.00000438086+0.00005257039+0.00039427799+0.00206995948+0.008072842[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The situation that represents this situation is:

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time t needed to assemble the set is inversely  proportional to the number people n working.

This means that:

[tex]t = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

In which k is the constant of proportionality.

Twelve people can assemble the set in 5 hours.

This means that for [tex]n = 12, t = 5[/tex]. We use this to find k.

To multiply means to add a number to itself a particular number of times. Multiplication can be viewed as a process of repeated addition.

Given that;

Points are,

A = (5,−4,4), B = (−5,0,−3), and C = (−4,2,−5).

Hence, We get;

AB = [- 10, 4, - 7]

AC = [-9, 6, -9]

So, The value of vector v that is perpendicular to the plane through the points is,

⇒ v = AB x AC

⇒ v = (- 10, 4, - 7) x (- 9, 6, - 9)

Kesley works at a nursery she has 157 beads that she wants to share equally between 16 children for a necklace making activity.

How many beads will each child have and how many beads will be left over

Answers

Each child will have 9 beads and there will be 13 beads left over

Each child will get 9 pieces with 13 pieces left.

What is division?

'Division is a method of distributing a group of things into equal parts.'

According to the given problem,

Number of beads Kesley has = 157

Number of children to be shared between = 16

Number of beads in possession of each child = 157 ÷ 16

                                                                             = 9

Number of beads divided equally = 144

Remaining beans = 157 - 144

                              = 13

Hence, we can conclude that out of 157 beans, 144 is divided equally among 16 children with each child getting 9 pieces.

Answers

Answer:

The sum of 1/6 and 1/7 would be 13/42, or, if you wanted the answer in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth, it would be about 0.31.

To find the sum of 1/6 and 1/7, we cannot simply add the numerators together and maintain the same denominator. This is because 1/6 and 1/7 have different denominators, so we don't know which denominator to maintain!

To fix this we need to find a number that is divisible by both 6 and 7. One easy way to do this is to multiply the two numbers together:

6 x 7 = 42

If we were to change the denominator to 42 for each fraction, we could add the numerators together and maintain a denominator of 42. However, this means we must change the numerator of each fraction along with its denominator.

Let's start with 1/6. We can multiply 6 by 7 to obtain 42, but this means we also have to multiply 1 by 7 to keep the fraction proportionate. If the fraction does not maintain the same proportion, it will be a completely different fraction!

We know that 1 x 7 = 7, so it is safe to say that 1/6 is equal to 7/42.

We can apply the same logic to 1/7. Since 7 x 6 is 42 we need to multiply 1 by 6 along with 7. Note: you cannot multiply each number by 7 this time, because 7 x 7 would be 49, not 42. In multiplying the numerator and denominator by 6 we know that 1/7 = 6/42.

Now we have an equation of:

6/42 + 7/42

Now we can add it as we would normally by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator to get:

6/42 + 7/42 = 13/42

If you needed the answer in decimal form it would be about 0.3095238095, or 0.31 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

I hope this helped.

You can run at a speed of 4 mph and swim at a speed of 2 mph and are located on the shore, 6 miles east of an island that is 1 mile north of the shoreline. How far (in mi) should you run west to minimize the time needed to reach the island

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5.423 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37

  d = √(x² -12x +37)

The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...

  time = distance/speed

  total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)

__

The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.

  t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0

Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...

  √(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0

Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...

  4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37

  3x² -36x +107 = 0

The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...

  x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi

You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.

A graphing calculator solves this nicely. The attached graph shows the time is a minimum when you run 5.423 miles.
