Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation −40m2+10m−1=0

Answers

Answer 1

From the analysis of the discriminant, you obtain that the quadratic function has no real solutions.

In first place, you must know that the roots or solutions of a quadratic function are those values ​​of x for which the expression is 0. This is the values ​​of x such that y = 0. That is, f (x) = 0.

Being the quadratic function f (x)=a*x² + b*x + c, then the solution must be when: 0 =a*x² + b*x + c

The solutions of a quadratic equation can be calculated with the quadratic formula:

[tex]Solutions=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula under the square root, that is, b² - 4*a*c

The discriminant can be positive, zero or negative and this determines how many solutions (or roots) there are for the given quadratic equation.

If the discriminant:

is positive: the quadratic function has two different real solutions. equal to zero: the quadratic function has a real solution. is negative: none of the solutions are real numbers. That is, it has no real solutions.

In this case, a= -40, b=10 and c= -1. Then, replacing in the discriminant expression:

discriminant= 10² -4*(-40)*(-1)

Solving:

discriminant= 100 - 160

discriminant= -60

The discriminant is negative, so the quadratic function has no real solutions.

Show that the equation 2x + 3 cos x + e ^ x = 0 has a root on the interval [- 1, 0]

Answers

If x = -1, you have

2(-1) + 3 cos(-1) + e ⁻¹ ≈ -0.0112136 < 0

and if x = 0, you have

2(0) + 3 cos(0) + e ⁰ = 4 > 0

The function f(x) = 2x + 3 cos(x) + is continuous over the real numbers, so the intermediate value theorem applies, and it says that there is some -1 < c < 0 such that f(c) = 0.

How much bigger is the Sum of first 50 even numbers than the sum of first 50 odd numbers?

Answers

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum Even numbers

n = 50

d = 2

a1 = 2

The last number is

an = a1 + (n-1)d

an = 2 + (50 - 1)*2

an = 2 + 49 * 2

an = 2 + 98

an = 100

Sum of the even numbers

Sum = (a1 + a50)*n/ 2

Sum = (2 + 100)*50/2

sum = 102 * 25

sum = 2550

Sum of the first 50 odd numbers

a1 = 1

n = 50

d = 2

l = ?

Find l

l = a1 + (n - 1)*2

l = 1 + 49*2

l = 99

Sum

Sum = (1 + 99)*50/2

Sum = 2500

The difference and answer is 2550 - 2500  = 50

2. How does the equation for the ellipse compare to the equation for a hyperbola? How can you determine the difference?


3. What is the difference between a vertex, a focus, and a directrix?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

1.

A cone is a 3-dimensional object created by revolving a line about an axis that intersects that line. This figure is a "double-napped" cone. The point where the revolved line and the axis meet is the a.pex, or vertex, of the cone. Typically, we're concerned with a finite portion of the cone, from the vertex to a base that is a circle in a plane perpendicular to the axis.

A "conic" is a 2-dimensional figure that results from the intersection of a plane and a cone. There are four general categories, named according to the angle the plane makes with the axis and/or the side of the cone. These are illustrated in the attachment.

a circle - the plane of intersection is perpendicular to the axisan ellipse - the plane of intersection is at an angle between 90° and the angle of the side relative to the axis. Both an ellipse and a circle are closed figures.a parabola - the plane of intersection is at the same angle as the side of the cone. A parabola is a one-sided open figure.a hyperbola - The plane of intersection is at an angle between that of the side of the cone and the axis of the cone. The plane will intersect both parts of a double-napped cone producing a double-sided open figure.

Producing these at home can be an interesting project. A circle can be made using a compass.

An ellipse can be drawn using a pair of pins and a loop of string. The pins would be placed at the foci of the ellipse, and the string would constrain the drawing instrument (pen or pencil) to have a constant total distance to the two foci.

A parabola can be drawn on graph paper using coordinates derived from an equation for it. It can also be drawn using a compass and a set square by plotting points that are equidistant from the focus and a line that is called the directrix. If you have a physical cone-shaped object, you can cut it at an angle that will produce a parabola.

A hyperbola can be drawn on graph paper from an equation. It can also be drawn using a compass by plotting points that have a constant difference in their distance to the two foci, or by plotting points whose ratio of distance to focus and directrix is a constant. A physical cone-shaped object can be cut to produce a hyperbola.

2.

The general form equation for a conic is ...

  Ax² +Bxy +Cy² +Dx +Ey +F = 0

Usually, we're concerned with conics that have axes parallel to the coordinate axes, so B=0. The equation of an ellipse has A and C with the same sign. The equation of a hyperbola has A and C with opposite signs,

In standard form, the equations for figures centered at the origin are ...

ellipse: x²/a +y²/b = 1hyperbola: x²/a -y²/b = 1 (opens horizontally)hyperbola: y²/a -x²/b = 1 (opens vertically)

__

3.

The vertex of a conic is an extreme point on the (major) axis of the conic. The focus is a point used in the definition of the conic. The focus is "inside" the curve, on the axis of symmetry. The directrix is a line used in the definition of the conic. The directrix is "outside" the curve, perpendicular to the axis. The second attachment shows these for a parabola.

Please help I’m really stuck!!

Answers

Step 1: Solve for one variable

---I will be using the first equation and solving for a.

a + c = 405

a = 405 - c

Step 2: Substitute into the other equation

---Now that we have a value for a, we can substitute that value into the second equation. Then, we can solve for c.

12a + 5c = 3950

12(405 - c) + 5c = 3950

4860 - 12c + 5c = 3950

-12c + 5c = -910

-7c = -910

c = 130

Step 3: Plug back into the first equation

---We now know one variable, which means we can plug back into our first equation and solve for the other.

a = 405 - c

a = 405 - 130

a = 275

D. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle can be defined as a two-dimensional shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles.

Simply stated, any polygon with three (3) lengths of sides is a triangle.

In Geometry, a triangle is considered to be the most important shape.

Generally, there are three (3) main types of triangle based on the length of their sides and these include;

I. Equilateral triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles equal.

II. Isosceles triangle: it has two (2) of its sides equal in length and two (2) equal angles.

III. Scalene triangle: it has all of its three (3) sides and interior angles different in length and size respectively.

In Geometry, an acute angle can be defined as any angle that has its size less than ninety (90) degrees.

Hence, we can deduce that the greatest number of acute angles that a triangle can contain is three (3) because the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

0.0444 = 4.44% probability that a part chosen at random (from the sample) was defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a defective part:

0.04 of [tex]\frac{100}{180}[/tex], that is, coming from A.

0.05 of [tex]\frac{80}{180}[/tex], that is, coming from B. So

[tex]p = 0.04\frac{100}{180} + 0.05\frac{80}{180} = \frac{0.04*100 + 0.05*80}{180} = 0.0444[/tex]

0.0444 = 4.44% probability that a part chosen at random (from the sample) was defective.

A toy rocket is shot vertically into the air from a launching pad 9 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 88 feet per second. The height h, in feet, of the rocket above the ground at t seconds after launch is given by the function
h(t) - 16^2 + 88ft +9. How long will it take the rocket to reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height?
The rocket reaches its maximum height at ____ second(s) after launch.
(Simplify your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function for this is:

[tex]s(t)=-16t^2+88t+9[/tex]. We can use this equation to find the position (or height) of the rocket at ANY TIME during its flight. I could find out the height of the rocket at 3 seconds by plugging in a 3 for t and solving for s(t); I could find the height of the rocket at 12 seconds by plugging in a 12 for t and solving for s(t), etc.

The first derivative of position is velocity:

v(t) = -32t + 88.

If we are looking for the time the rocket reaches it max height, we need to remember from physics class that this happens when the velocity of the object is at 0. We set the velocity equation equal to 0 then and solve for t:

0 = -32t + 88 and

-88 = -32t so

t = 2.75 seconds. This means that 2.75 seconds after the rocket is launched, it reaches its max height. In order to find what that max height is we plug 2.75 into the position equation for t and solve:

[tex]s(2.75)=-16(2.75)^2+88(2.75)+9[/tex] to get that

s(2.75) = 130

The max height is 130 feet and it reaches this point at 2.75 seconds into its motion.

Answers

Answer:

Range: {-1, 0, 5/7, 4/5, 1, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

f(x) = (x + 1)/(2x - 1)

And:

f: A ⇒ B

where:

A={-1,0,1,2,3,4}

B= {-1,0,4/5,5/7,1,2,3,}

We want to find the range of f(x).

The range of f(x) will be the set of the outputs of f(x) (and because f goes from A to B, we will only take the outputs that belong to B).

Then we only need to evaluate all the values of A in f(x), and see if the output belongs to B.

we have:

f(x) = (x + 1)/(2x - 1)

f(-1) = (-1 + 1)/(2*-1 - 1) = 0   (this does belong to B)

f(0) = (0 + 1)/(2*0 - 1) = -1  (this does belong to B)

f(1) = (1 + 1)/(2*1 - 1) = 2  (this does belong to B)

f(2) = (2 + 1)/(2*2 - 1) = 1 (this does belong to B)

f(3) = (3 + 1)/(2*3 - 1) = 4/5  (this does belong to B)

f(4) = (4 + 1)/(2*4 - 1) = 5/7  (this does belong to B)

So the range of f(x) is the set with all these outputs, which is:

Range: {-1, 0, 5/7, 4/5, 1, 2}
