What is the solution of a quadratic equation?

The solutions to the quadratic equation are the values of the unknown variable x, which satisfy the equation. These solutions are called roots or zeros of quadratic equations. The roots of any polynomial are the solutions for the given equation.

The given equation is x(x+4)=117.

Here, x²+4x=117

Now, b/2 =4/2 =2

So, add 2² to both the sides of an equation, we get

x²+4x+2²=117+2²

⇒ x²+4x+4=117+4

⇒ (x+2)²=121

⇒ x+2=±√121

⇒ x+2=±11

⇒ x=±11-2

⇒ x=11-2=9 and x=-11-2=-13

The solution for the given a quadratic equation is x=9 and x=-13. Therefore, the first error in Carly's work is instead adding 2² on both the side of an equation, she added 4².

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We know DF - DE = EF

9x - 39 - 47 = EF

Step 2: Simplify

9x - 86 = EF

Step 3: Set the equation equal to 3x + 10

9x - 86 = 3x + 10

6x = 96

x = 16

Therefore x is equal to 16

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

DE + EF = DF

47+ 3x+10 = 9x-39

Combine like terms

57 +3x = 9x-39

Subtract 3x from each side

57+3x-3x = 9x-3x-39

57 = 6x-39

Add 39 to each side

57+39 = 6x-39+39

96 = 6x

Divide by 6

96/6 = 6x/6

16 =x

We want the length of EF

EF = 3x+10

     = 3*16 +10

    = 48+10

warehouse A has 200 tons of coal and sells 15 tons every day. warehouse B has 80 tons and buys 25 everyday in how many days does a=b

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent the number of days with x.

WAREHOUSE A

200-15x

WAREHOUSE B

80+25x

We want to find how many days it will take for the two warehouses to have the same amount of coal. Let's put these expressions into an equation to show that they are equal and see what x is.

200-15x=80+25x

We subtract 25x from both sides.

200-40x=80

We subtract 200 from both sides.

-40x=-120

We divide both sides by -40

x=3

Therefore, warehouse A and warehouse B will have the same amount of coal after 3 days.

A vendor bought a supply of ice cream bars at three for 20 cents. He ate one and sold the remainder at 10 cents each. If he made $200.00, how many bars did he buy?

Answers

Answer:

201 bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bars bought be x.

Cost of three bars is 20 cents.

Therefore, 1 bar will cost [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex] cents.

He ate one of the bars...

Therefore, remaining bars will be x - 1

... He sold the remainder at 10 cents each i.e

1 bar = 10 cents

(x - 1) bars = 10( x - 1) cents

...He made $200.00 from selling the remaining bars.

10( x - 1) cents = $200.00             ---------------(i)

Convert from dollars to cents

$1 = 10 cents

$200 = 200 x 10 cents = 2000 cents

From equation (i)

10(x - 1)cents = 2000 cents

=> 10( x - 1) = 2000            [divide both sides by 10]

=> x - 1 = 200

=> x = 200 + 1

=> x = 201

Therefore, he bought 201 bars of ice cream.

Heptagon is a seven-sided polygon. So heptagon has 7 angles.

As known the sum of the angles in poligon is

N=180°*(n-2)

So N(7)=180°*(7-2)=900°

if the sum of 2 angles are 200° then  the sum of residual 5 angles is

for the data values below construct a 95 confidence interval if the sample mean is known to be 12898 and the standard deviation is 7719

Answers

Answer:

A 95% confidence interval for the population mean is [3315.13, 22480.87] .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that for quality control purposes, we collect a sample of 200 items and find 24 defective items.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                             P.Q.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample proportion of defective items = 12,898

             s = sample standard deviation = 7,719

            n = sample size = 5

             [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean

Here for constructing a 95% confidence interval we have used a One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;

P(-2.776 < [tex]t_4[/tex] < 2.776) = 0.95  {As the critical value of t at 4 degrees of

                                               freedom are -2.776 & 2.776 with P = 2.5%}  

P(-2.776 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 2.776) = 0.95

P( [tex]-2.776 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]2.776 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

P( [tex]\bar X-2.776 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+2.776 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-2.776 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+2.776 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]

                                = [ [tex]12,898-2.776 \times {\frac{7,719}{\sqrt{5} } }[/tex] , [tex]12,898+2.776 \times {\frac{7,719}{\sqrt{5} } }[/tex] ]

                               = [3315.13, 22480.87]

Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is [3315.13, 22480.87] .

Answers

Looks like your function is

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac x{6x^2+1}[/tex]

Rewrite it as

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac x{1-(-6x^2)}[/tex]

Recall that for [tex]|x|<1[/tex], we have

[tex]\dfrac1{1-x}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n[/tex]

If we replace [tex]x[/tex] with [tex]-6x^2[/tex], we get

[tex]f(x)=\displaystyle x\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac(-6x^2)^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-6)^n x^{2n+1}[/tex]

By the ratio test, the series converges if

[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(-6)^{n+1} x^{2(n+1)+1}}{(-6)^n x^{2n+1}}\right|=6|x^2|\lim_{n\to\infty}1=6|x|^2<1[/tex]

Solving for [tex]x[/tex] gives the interval of convergence,

[tex]|x|^2<\dfrac16\implies|x|<\dfrac1{\sqrt6}\implies -\dfrac1{\sqrt 6}<x<\dfrac1{\sqrt 6}[/tex]

We can confirm that the interval is open by checking for convergence at the endpoints; we'd find that the resulting series diverge.

The interval of the convergence is (-1/√6 < x < 1/√6). We can confirm that the interval is open by checking for convergence at the endpoints.

What is a function?

The function is an expression, rule, or law that defines the relationship between one variable to another variable. Functions are ubiquitous in mathematics and are essential for formulating physical relationships.

The given function is

[tex]\rm f(x) = \dfrac{x}{6x^2 + 1} \\\\or \\\\f(x) = \dfrac{x}{1 - (-6x^2)}[/tex]

For |x| < 1, we have

[tex]\rm \dfrac{1}{1-x} = \Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} \ x^n[/tex]

If x is replaced with -6x², then we have

[tex]\rm f(x)= \Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (-6x^2 )^n = \Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (-6)^n x^{2n+1}[/tex]

Then by the ratio test, the series converges if

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \left| \dfrac{(-6)^{n+1}x^{2(n+1)+1}}{(-6)^{n}x^{2n+1}} \right|=6|x^{2}| \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty }1=6|x^{2}| < 1[/tex]

Solving for x, the interval of convergence will be

[tex]|x^2| < \dfrac{1}{6} \\\\|x| < \dfrac{1}{\sqrt6} \\\\-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt6} < x < \dfrac{1}{\sqrt6}[/tex]

We can confirm that the interval is open by checking for convergence at the endpoints.

What are the attributes of the boundary line of this inequality? -3x − 2y < 6

Answers

Answer:

D.  The line is dashed with a y-intercept at (0,-3) and slope of -.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you rearrange the inequality -3x-2y<6 to y=mx+b form you should get y>-3/2x-3

The slope would be mx or -3/2

The Y intercept would be b or -3

I hope this helps :)

The line with an inequality equation -3x - 2y < 6 when plotted on the graph, occupies a region with a dashed boundary line with the attributes, the slope m = -3/2, and the y-intercept c = -3.

What is an inequality equation of a line?

An inequality equation for a line is the equation that is true for certain values of its variables. The inequality symbols are ' <, >, ≤, ≥ '.

How do graph an inequality?

When inequality is graphed,

The region of values for which the inequality becomes true is shaded.If the inequality has < or > symbols, then the boundary of that region is represented with the dashed line. If the inequality has ≤ or ≥ symbols, then the boundary of that region is represented with the solid line (no breaks).

Writing the given inequality in the slope-intercept form of a line:

The inequality equation is re-arranged in the slope-intercept form to know the attributes of the line such as the slope of the line and the y-intercept of the line.

The given inequality is -3x - 2y < 6

Step 1: Rewriting the equation into the slope-intercept form:

-3x - 2y < 6

To change the sign,  change the inequality symbol also.

⇒ 3x + 2y > 6

⇒ 2y > 6 - 3x

⇒ y > -3/2x - 3

Therefore, the obtained equation is in the slope-intercept form.

So, m = -3/2 and c = -3

Step 2: Graphing the inequality:

To graph the line, we need coordinates.

So, consider x = 0  inorder to get y-coordinate

On substituting,

-3(0) -2y = 6

y = -3

∴ (0, -3) is one of the coordinates of the line

Then, consider y = 0 inorder to get x-coordinate

On substituting,

-3x - 2(0) = 6

x = -2

∴ (-2, 0) is one of the coordinates of the line

These points are plotted in the graph and a line is drawn from these points.

Step 3: Observations from the graph:

Since the inequality is -3x -2y < 6 ( < ), the region above the line is shaded ( the values that satisfies the inequality). The line is represented as a dashed line that indicates the boundary for the inequality region.This means the line is excluded from the solution set of the given inequality.

Therefore, the attributes of the boundary line (dashed line) are slope -3/2 and y-intercept -3.
