C) graph of a quadratic function with a minimum at 2.5, negative 2.25 and x intercepts at 1 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:Standard Form of a Quadratic Function: ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0
Given function: x² - 5x + 4
⇒ a = 1, b = -5, c = 4
The minimum of a function is the lowest point of its parabola. We can use the following formula to find the vertex or the minimum of the function: [tex]x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}[/tex] . This will give us the x-value of the vertex, and we will need to solve for the y-value.
The vertex or minimum.
Step 1: Find the x-value of the vertex.
[tex]\\\implies x=\dfrac{-(-5)}{2(1)}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5[/tex]
Step 2: Find the y-value of the vertex by substituting 2.5 as the value of x in the given function.
[tex]\\\implies x^2 - 5x + 4\\\\\implies 2.5^2-5(2.5)+4\\\\\implies 6.25-12.5+4\\\\\implies -2.25[/tex]
Vertex: (2.5, -2.25)
The x-intercepts (roots).
We can use the Quadratic Formula to find the roots of this function.
Quadratic Formula: [tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex] when [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]
Equation: x² - 5x + 4 = 0
⇒ a = 1, b = -5, c = 4
Step 1: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the formula.
[tex]\\\implies x=\dfrac{\bold{-(-5)}\pm\sqrt{\bold{(-5)^2}\bold{-4(1)(4)}}}{\bold{2(1)}}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{\bold{25-16}}}{2}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{\bold{9}}}{2}\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{5\pm3}{2}[/tex]
Step 2: Separate into two possible cases.
[tex]x_1=\dfrac{5-3}{2}\implies \dfrac{2}{2}\implies \boxed{1}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{5+3}{2}\implies \dfrac{8}{2}\implies \boxed{4}[/tex]
The x-intercepts of the given function are 1 and 4.

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model with a growth rate parameter of 4.9% per hour how many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double
Answer:
14.5 hours to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
4.9% = 0.049.
If the original number is 50 it will double to 100 so
100 = 50(1.049)^t
1.049^t = 2
t * log 1.049 = log 2
t = log 2 / log 1.049
= 14.49 hours,
Geometric Series
It has 6 terms, increases by a factor of 4, and has a sum of 1365. Find the value of the first term.
Since the geometric series has 6 terms, increases by a factor of 4, and has a sum of 1365, the value of the first term is 1.
What is the sum of a geometric series?The sum of a geometric series is given by
Sₙ = a(rⁿ - 1)/(r - 1) with r > 1 where
n = number of terms, a = first term and r = common ratioNow, since our Geometric Series has 6 terms, n = 6. Also, it increases by a factor of 4, so, r = 4 and has a sum of 1365, so Sₙ = 1356. So,we have that
n = 6, Sₙ = S₆ = 1365 andr = 4The value of the first termSince we require the first term, a , making a subject of the formula, we have
a = Sₙ(r - 1)/(rⁿ - 1)
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
a = Sₙ(r - 1)/(rⁿ - 1)
a = S₆(r - 1)/(r⁶ - 1)
a = 1365(4 - 1)/(4⁶ - 1)
a = 1365(3)/(4096 - 1)
a = 4095/4095
a = 1
So, the value of the first term is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
[tex]\dfrac{2x}{x+1}+\dfrac{3(x+1)}{x}=5[/tex]
Make the denominators the same:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{2x}{x+1} \cdot\dfrac{x}{x}+\dfrac{3(x+1)}{x} \cdot \dfrac{x+1}{x+1}=5[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{2x^2}{x(x+1)}+\dfrac{3(x+1)^2}{x(x+1)} =5[/tex]
Combine the fractions:

Multiply both sides by x(x+1):
[tex]\implies 2x^2+3(x+1)^2 =5x(x+1)[/tex]
Expand the brackets:

b. The period is the time it takes for the graph to repeat or complete one cycle and in this graph, it is 3.
c. Looking at the graph, ideally the coordinate (3, -1.5) should have been on the y-axis which is at (0, -1.5). This means it was shifted by 3 units to the right side.
d. The positive peak should be equal to the negative peak but in this case, it is not so and as such the center should be on the x-axis which means that the graph was shifted down vertically by 2 units.
4) a. Amplitude is the distance between the center line and the positive or negative peak of the graph. Thus, the amplitude is 3 - 1 = 2

a. exactly two children will watch PBS
b. at most two children will watch PBS
C. at least 2 children will watch PBS
Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:
a) 0.4159 = 41.59%.
b) 0.5610 = 56.10%.
c) 0.8549 = 85.49%.
What is the binomial distribution formula?The formula is:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
x is the number of successes.n is the number of trials.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.For this problem, the values of the parameters are:
n = 3, p = 0.76.
Item a:
The probability is P(X = 2), hence:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.76)^{2}.(0.24)^{1} = 0.4159[/tex]
Item b:
The probability is P(X < 3), hence:
P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3)
In which:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.76)^{3}.(0.24)^{0} = 0.4390[/tex]
Then:
P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3) = 1 - 0.4390 = 0.5610 = 56.10%.
Item c:
The probability is:
[tex]P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.4159 + 0.4390 = 0.8549[/tex]

A sample of bacteria is growing at an hourly rate of 15% according to the continuous exponential growth function. The sample began with 11 bacteria. How many bacteria will be in the sample after 21 hours
If the sample of bacteria is growing at an hourly rate of 15% continuously and the bacteria began with 11 bacteria then there will be 244.178 samples bacteria after 21 hours.
Given growth of bacteria 15% ,bacteria at beginning 11.
We have to find the number of sample of bacteria after 21 hours.
We have to first form exponential function which shows the growth of bacteria in variable t.
Exponential function which shows the sum is y=P[tex]e^{rt}[/tex]
where P is initial amount ,
r is rate and
y is the sum
So in our problem P=11 and r=0.15
y=11*[tex]e^{0.15t}[/tex]
To find the samples after 21 hours we have to put t=21.
y=11[tex]e^{0.15*21}[/tex]
y=11*[tex]e^{3.1}[/tex]
y=11*22.198 ([tex]e^{3.1}[/tex]=22.198 from e table)
y=244.178
Hence the samples after 21 hours will be 244 approximately.

Determine if the following lines are parallel (never intersect), perpendicular (intersect at a 90 degree angle), intersecting (intersect at just one point), or coinciding (intersect at all points)?
y = -6x − 8, -x + 6y = 12
Answer:
These lines are perpendicular.
Step-by-step explanation:
Put both equations in the slope intercept form of a line.
y = -6x - 8 This is already in the slope intercept form for a line
-x + 6y = 12 Add x to both sides of the equation
6y = x + 12 Divide through the whole equation by 6
y = 1/6x +2
Now we compare the two slopes of -6 and 1/6. They are negative reciprocals of each other. That means that the line are perpendicular.
What are the two numbers on the upper left and the three on the bottom?
The computation of the equation shows.that x is -4 and y is 0.6.
How to calculate the value?4x + 5y = -1
-5x - 8y = 10
The value of x and y will be calculated thus:
-5 × (4x + 5y = -1)
4 × -(5x - 8y = 10)
-20x - 25y = 5
-20x -32y = 40
Add the equation
57y = 45
y = 45/75 = 0.6
Since 4x + 5y = -1
4x + 5(0.6) = -1
4x + 3 = -1
x = -1 - 3
x = -4

of babysitting sheila could buy from her.
d. can sheila afford the same amount of babysitting from the second sitter as she could from the
first sitter?
a. The equation we get is 10(1.5 + x) = 80, where x is the number of hours Sheila can afford to hire the babysitter.
b. Sheila can afford the babysitter for 6 hours and 30 minutes.
c. The equation we get is 15(1 + x) = 80, where x is the number of hours Sheila can afford to hire the new babysitter.
d. Sheila can afford to hire the new babysitter for 4 hours and 20 minutes, while the first babysitter was hired for 6 hours and 30 minutes.
Thus, Sheila can't afford the same amount of babysitting from the second sitter as she could from the first sitter.
a. We assume the hours affordable to Sheila be x hours.
Per hour charge of the babysitter = $10.
Time taken by the babysitter traveling = 1.5 hours.
Therefore, total chargeable time = 1.5 + x.
Therefore, the total charge by the babysitter = $10(1.5 + x).
This needs to be equal to the amount Sheila is willing to spend, that is, $80.
Thus, the equation we get is: 10(1.5 + x) = 80.
b. We are asked to determine the hours Sheila can afford to hire the babysitter.
We have got the equation 10(1.5 + x) = 80, where x is the hours Sheila can afford to hire the babysitter.
Thus, by solving this equation, we can determine the hours Sheila can afford to hire the babysitter.
10(1.5 + x) = 80,
or, 1.5 + x = 8,
or, x = 8 - 1.5 = 6.5 = 6 hours and 30 minutes.
Thus, Sheila can afford the babysitter for 6 hours and 30 minutes.
c. Per hour charge of the new babysitter = $15.
Time taken by the new babysitter traveling = 1 hour.
Therefore, total chargeable time = 1 + x.
Therefore, the total charge by the new babysitter = $15(1 + x).
This needs to be equal to the amount Sheila is willing to spend, that is, $80.
Thus, the equation we get is: 15(1 + x) = 80.
d. We are asked whether Sheila affords the same amount of babysitting from the second sitter as she could from the first sitter.
To determine this, we need to find the hours she affords from the second babysitter, for which, we solve the equation 15(1 + x) = 80 as follows:
15(1 + x) = 80,
or, 1 + x = 80/15,
or, x = 80/15 - 1 = 65/15 = 13/3 = 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Sheila can afford to hire the new babysitter for 4 hours and 20 minutes, while the first babysitter was hired for 6 hours and 30 minutes.
Thus, Sheila can't afford the same amount of babysitting from the second sitter as she could from the first sitter.
