Find b and then solve the equation: d (b−5)x2−(b−2)x+b=0, if one of its roots is 1/2

Answers

Answer 1

ANSWER

[tex]b = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{7} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

[tex](b - 5) {x}^{2} - (b - 2)x + b = 0[/tex]

If

[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

is a root, then it must satisfy the given equation.

[tex](b - 5) {( \frac{1}{2} )}^{2} - (b - 2)( \frac{1}{2} )+ b = 0[/tex]

[tex](b - 5) {( \frac{1}{4} )} - (b - 2)( \frac{1}{2} )+ b = 0[/tex]

Multiply through by 4,

[tex](b - 5)- 2(b - 2)+4 b = 0[/tex]

Expand:

[tex]b - 5- 2b + 4+4 b = 0[/tex]

Group similar terms;

[tex]b - 2b + 4b = 5 - 4[/tex]

[tex]3b = 1[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Our equation then becomes:

[tex]( \frac{1}{3} - 5) {x}^{2} - ( \frac{1}{3} - 2)x + \frac{1}{3} = 0[/tex]

[tex]( - \frac{14}{3} ) {x}^{2} - ( - \frac{5}{3} )x + \frac{1}{3} = 0[/tex]

[tex] - 14{x}^{2} + 5x + 1= 0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](2x - 1)(7x + 1) = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{7} [/tex]

A large rectangular parking lot is 2/3 km long and 1/2 km wide. What's the area of the raking lot?

Answers

Answer:1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3*1/2=1/3

Final answer:

The area of a parking lot measuring 2/3 km long and 1/2 km wide is 1/3 km². This is found by multiplying the length by the width.

Explanation:

The question is asking for the area of a rectangular parking lot that measures 2/3 km long and 1/2 km wide. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width. Applying this formula, we multiply 2/3 km by 1/2 km.

It's important to remember that when multiplying fractions, you just multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers) separately. So, (2/3) x (1/2) = 2/6 km², which simplifies to 1/3 km².

So, the area of the parking lot is 1/3 km².

Linda saves $1.55 every day. Tyron saves $3.90 every day. Linda started saving 3 days earlier than Tyron. On which day will Tyron's savings be more than Linda's savings?

Answers

Step 1: Write the amount of savings in equation
Linda's savings: s=1.55d
Tyron's savings: m=3.90d

Step 2: Add on the extra days to Linda's savings
Linda's savings s=1.55d+3(1.55)

Step 4: Simplify equation
s=1.55d+3(1.55)
s=1.55d+4.66

Step 5: Substitute numbers for d days until Tyron's m savings is greater than Linda's s saving
m=3.90d s=1.55(2)+4.66
m=3.90(2) s=3.10+4.66
m=7.80 s=7.76

On Tyron's second day he will have more money in his savings than Linda does.

To determine when Tyron's savings will surpass Linda's, we can set up an inequality using their daily saving rates and the fact that Linda started 3 days earlier. Solving for the number of days Tyron needs to save, we find that Tyron will surpass Linda's savings after saving for 2 full days.

Linda and Tyron are saving money on a daily basis, but Linda started saving 3 days earlier than Tyron. To find out on which day Tyron's savings will be more than Linda's, we need to set up an equation.

Let's define x as the number of days after which Tyron starts saving. Since Linda starts 3 days earlier, she has been saving for x + 3 days by the time Tyron starts saving.

Linda's daily savings: $1.55
Tyron's daily savings: $3.90

 Linda's total savings after x + 3 days: $1.55(x + 3)
Tyron's total savings after x days: $3.90x

We want to find the value of x at which Tyron's total savings exceed Linda's, so we set up the inequality:
$3.90x > $1.55(x + 3)

Now, solve for x:

$3.90x > $1.55x + $4.65
$3.90x - $1.55x > $4.65
$2.35x > $4.65
x > $4.65 / $2.35
x > 1.978

Since x represents the number of days and we cannot have a fraction of a day in this context, x must be at least 2 days. Therefore, Tyron's savings will be more than Linda's after he has saved for 2 days.

Answers

For the last part, you have to find where [tex]f'(t)[/tex] attains its maximum over [tex]0\le t\le8[/tex]. We have

[tex]f'(t)=-6\sin3t+6\cos2t[/tex]

so that

[tex]f''(t)=-18\cos3t-12\sin2t[/tex]

with critical points at [tex]t[/tex] such that

[tex]-18\cos3t-12\sin2t=0[/tex]

[tex]3\cos3t+2\sin2t=0[/tex]

[tex]3(\cos^3t-3\cos t\sin^2t)+4\sin t\cos t=0[/tex]

[tex]\cos t(3\cos^2t-9\sin^2t+4\sin t)=0[/tex]

[tex]\cos t(12\sin^2t-4\sin t-3)=0[/tex]

So either

[tex]\cos t=0\implies t=\dfrac{(2n+1)\pi}2[/tex]

or

[tex]12\sin^2t-4\sin t-3=0\implies\sin t=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{10}}6\implies t=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{10}}6+2n\pi[/tex]

where [tex]n[/tex] is any integer. We get 8 solutions over the given interval with [tex]n=0,1,2[/tex] from the first set of solutions, [tex]n=0,1[/tex] from the set of solutions where [tex]\sin t=\dfrac{1+\sqrt{10}}6[/tex], and [tex]n=1[/tex] from the set of solutions where [tex]\sin t=\dfrac{1-\sqrt{10}}6[/tex]. They are approximately

[tex]\dfrac\pi2\approx2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{3\pi}2\approx5[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{5\pi}2\approx8[/tex]

[tex]\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1+\sqrt{10}}6\approx1[/tex]

[tex]2\pi+\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1+\sqrt{10}}6\approx7[/tex]

[tex]2\pi+\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1-\sqrt{10}}6\approx6[/tex]

The correct answer for part (d) is: The particle is moving the fastest at [tex]\( t = 4.7 \)[/tex] with a speed of [tex]5[/tex] units per time period.

To find when the particle is moving the fastest, we need to determine the time at which the velocity of the particle is maximized. The velocity of the particle is given by the derivative of the position function with respect to time. The position function is [tex]\( f(t) = 2 \cos(3t) + 3 \sin(2t) \)[/tex]. Differentiating this with respect to [tex]\( t \)[/tex] gives the velocity function:

[tex]\[ v(t) = \frac{d}{dt}(2 \cos(3t) + 3 \sin(2t)) = -6 \sin(3t) + 6 \cos(2t) \][/tex]

To find the maximum velocity, we need to find the critical points of the velocity function by setting its derivative equal to zero:

[tex]\[ \frac{d}{dt}(-6 \sin(3t) + 6 \cos(2t)) = -18 \cos(3t) - 12 \sin(2t) = 0 \][/tex]

Solving for [tex]\( t \)[/tex] in the interval [tex]\( 0 \leq t \leq 8 \)[/tex] will give us the times at which the velocity is maximized or minimized. Let's solve for [tex]\( t \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ -18 \cos(3t) = 12 \sin(2t) \][/tex]

This is a transcendental equation and cannot be solved algebraically. We would typically use numerical methods or graphing to find the solutions. However, since we are given that the time when the particle is moving the fastest is [tex]\( t = 4.7 \)[/tex], we can assume that this is the time at which the velocity function reaches its maximum value.

Now, to find the speed at which the particle is moving the fastest, we evaluate the velocity function at [tex]\( t = 4.7 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ v(4.7) = -6 \sin(3 \cdot 4.7) + 6 \cos(2 \cdot 4.7) \][/tex]

Calculating the sine and cosine values and then substituting them into the equation will give us the maximum velocity. Since we are looking for the speed, which is the absolute value of the velocity, we take the absolute value of the result.

The speed is given by the magnitude of the velocity vector, so we have:

[tex]\[ |v(4.7)| = |-6 \sin(3 \cdot 4.7) + 6 \cos(2 \cdot 4.7)| \][/tex]

Evaluating this expression will give us the speed at which the particle is moving the fastest. The correct answer, rounded to the nearest integer, is [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex] units per time period, not [tex]\( -5 \).[/tex] The negative sign in the velocity does not affect the speed, as speed is a scalar quantity and is always positive.

Therefore, the particle is moving the fastest at [tex]\( t = 4.7 \)[/tex] with a speed of [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex] units per time period.

The circumference of a circle is 65?. In terms of pi, what is the area of the circle?

Answers

Answer:

1056.25π square units

Step-by-step explanation:

A few formulas an definitions which will help us:

(1) [tex]\pi=\frac{c}{d}[/tex], where c is the circumference of a circle and d is its diameter

(2) [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex], where A is the area of a circle with radius r. To put it in terms of d, remember that a circle's diameter is simply twice its radius, or mathematically, (3) [tex]d=2r \rightarrow r=\frac{d}{2}[/tex].

We can rearrange equation (1) to put d in terms of π and c, giving us (4) [tex]d = \frac{c}{\pi}[/tex], and we can make a few substitutions in (2) using (3) and (4) to get use the area in terms of the circumference and π:

[tex]A=\pi r^2\\=\pi\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2\\=\pi\left(\frac{d^2}{4}\right)\\=\pi\left(\frac{(c/\pi)^2}{4}\right)\\=\pi\left(\frac{c^2/\pi^2}{4}\right)\\=\pi\left(\frac{c^2}{4\pi^2}\right)\\\\=\frac{\pi c^2}{4\pi^2}\\ =\frac{c^2}{4\pi}[/tex]

We can now substitute c for our circumference, 65, to get our answer in terms of π:

[tex]A=\dfrac{65^2}{4\pi}=\dfrac{4225}{4\pi}=1056.25\pi[/tex]

Answer:

Area = 2112.5 / pi

Step-by-step explanation:

They are asking you not to use 3.14 for pi. Just leave it as a symbol.

C = 2*pi*r

C = 65

65 = 2*pi*r

65/(2*pi) = r

The area of a circle is 2*pi * r^2

Area = 2 * pi * (65/2pi)^2

Area = 2 * pi * 65^2/(4*pi^2)           Cancel out one of the pi-s in the denominator

Area = 2 * 65^2 / (4 * Pi)                  Expand the numerator

Area = 8450/(4*pi)                           Divide by 4

Area = 2112.5 / pi

Consider the infinite geometric series ∑∞ n=1 -4(1/3)^n-1

a. The series is

(first four terms are listed)

b. The series converges because this is a geometric series with [tex]r=\dfrac13<1[/tex].

c. Let [tex]S_N[/tex] be the [tex]N[/tex]-th partial sum of the series:

[tex]S_N=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^N-4\left(\frac13\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]S_N=-4-\dfrac43-\dfrac4{3^2}-\cdots-\dfrac4{3^{N-1}}[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by [tex]\dfrac13[/tex] gives

[tex]\dfrac13S_N=-\dfrac43-\dfrac4{3^2}-\dfrac4{3^3}-\cdots-\dfrac4{3^N}[/tex]

Subtracting this from [tex]S_N[/tex] gives

[tex]S_N-\dfrac13S_N=\dfrac23S_N=-4+\dfrac4{3^N}[/tex]

[tex]\implies S_N=-6+\dfrac6{3^N}[/tex]

As [tex]N[/tex] gets larger and larger [tex](N\to\infty)[/tex] the rational term converges to 0 and we're left with

Recall and use the Pythagorean Identity;

[tex]\sin^2(\theta)+\cos^2(\theta)=1[/tex]

This implies that;

[tex](\frac{1}{4})^2+\cos^2(\theta)=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{16}+\cos^2(\theta)=1[/tex]

[tex]\cos^2(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\cos^2(\theta)=\frac{15}{16}[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides;

[tex]\cos(\theta)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}[/tex]

[tex]\cos(\theta)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}[/tex]

Since we are in the first quadrant;

[tex]\cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}[/tex]

The calibration of a scale is to be checked by weighing a 10-kg test specimen 25 times.

(b) With the sample mean itself as the test statistic, what is the P-value when x = 9.85, and what would you conclude at significance level .01? (c) For a test with α = .01, what is the probability that recalibration is judged unnecessary when in fact µ = 10.2?

Answers

Answer:

a:  That the mean weight of the trials is 10 kg

b:  See attached photo for work

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to see if the scale is weighing properly and are using a 10 kg weight to calibrate it.  That means our hypothesis test is that the mean weight of the trails (in this case 25) is 10 kg.

The hypothesis we will use are

H0:  µ = 10

Ha:  µ ≠ 10

The alternate hypothesis has a not equals to sign because if the scale weighs too much or to little, then it needs to be better calibrated, so it's a two tailed test.

The calibration of the scale follows a normal distribution.

The null and the alternate hypotheses are: [tex]\mathbf{H_o: \mu = 10}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{H_a: \mu \ne 10}[/tex]The p-value when [tex]\mathbf{\bar x = 9.85}[/tex] is [tex]\mathbf{p=0.000494}[/tex]The scale needs to be calibratedThe probability that  recalibration is judged unnecessary is less than 0.00001

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{\sigma = 0.200}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\mu = 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n = 25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\bar x = 9.85}[/tex]

(a) The null and the alternate hypotheses

The true average weight is to be tested.

So, the null and the alternate hypotheses are:

[tex]\mathbf{H_o: \mu = 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{H_a: \mu \ne 10}[/tex]

(b) The p-value when [tex]\mathbf{\bar x = 9.85}[/tex]

First, we calculate the test statistic

[tex]\mathbf{t = \frac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt n}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{t = \frac{9.85 - 10}{0.2/\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{t = \frac{9.85 - 10}{0.2/5}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{t = \frac{-0.15}{0.04}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{t = -3.75}[/tex]

Using p-value calculator, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{p=0.000494}[/tex]

The critical regions of [tex]\mathbf{t = -3.75}[/tex] are t >2.797 and t < -2.797

Because -3.75 < -2.797, we reject the null hypothesis.

This means that, the scale needs to be calibrated

(c) Probability that recalibration is judged when [tex]\mathbf{\mu = 10.2}[/tex]

First, we calculate the test statistic

[tex]\mathbf{t = \frac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt n}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{t = \frac{9.85 - 10.2}{0.2/\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{t = \frac{-0.35}{0.04}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{t = -8.75}[/tex]

Using p-value calculator, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{p<0.00001}[/tex]

Carol earned $642.20 in net pay for working 37 hours. She paid $115.34 in federal and state income taxes and $62.75 in FICA taxes
What was Carol's hourly wage?

Answers

Carol's total earnings can be calculated by adding up her net salary plus her taxes paid.                                              

So, Total earnings of Carol = 642.20 + 115.34 + 62.75 = $820.29

So, her hourly wage = [tex]\frac{820.29}{37} =22.17[/tex]

Hence, Carol's hourly wage is = $22.17

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/(1+sinθ) + 1/(1-sinθ)

= (1-sinθ)/[(1+sinθ)(1-sinθ)] + (1+sinθ)/[(1-sinθ)(1+sinθ)]

= [(1-sinθ) + (1+sinθ)] / [(1-sinθ)(1+sinθ)]

= [1 - sinθ + 1 + sinθ] / [1 - sin^2sθ]

= 2 / cos^2θ

Find the length of segment BA.


A) 163.3


B) 128.6


C) 84.7


D) 59.8

Answers

Answer:

D) 59.8

Step-by-step explanation:

m<B = 120 deg

Since we know the measure of an angle and the length of the opposite side, we can establish the ratio of the law of sines, so we use the law of sines to find the length of side BA.

[tex] \dfrac{\sin A}{a} = \dfrac{\sin B}{b} = \dfrac{\sin C}{c} [/tex]

[tex] \dfrac{\sin A}{BC} = \dfrac{\sin B}{AC} = \dfrac{\sin C}{AB} [/tex]

[tex] \dfrac{\sin B}{AC} = \dfrac{\sin C}{AB} [/tex]

[tex] \dfrac{\sin 120^\circ}{200} = \dfrac{\sin 15^\circ}{AB} [/tex]

[tex] \dfrac{\sin 120^\circ}{200} = \dfrac{\sin 15^\circ}{AB} [/tex]

[tex] (AB)\sin 120^\circ = 200 \sin 15^\circ [/tex]

[tex] AB = \dfrac{200 \sin 15^\circ}{\sin 120^\circ} [/tex]

[tex] AB = 59.8 [/tex]

2x-3y=-14 3x-2y=-6 if (x,y) is a solution to the system of equations above, what is the value of x-y?

Answers

Final answer:

In a system of equations, if the variable x is found to be equal to 2 and y is found to be equal to 4, the value of x - y is -2.

Explanation:

To solve for the values of x and y in this pair of linear equations, we can use a method known as substitution or elimination. However, the question asks for the value of x-y, not for the individual values of x and y.

First, let's multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3:

4x - 6y = -28 (equation 1)

9x - 6y = -18  (equation 2)

If we subtract Equation 2 from Equation 1, we get -5x = -10. Solving for x, we find that x = 2.

Substituting the value of x into the first equation, we get:

2(2) - 3y = -14

Solving for y, we find that y = 4.

Therefore, x - y = 2 - 4 = -2.

A.(-6,3)
B.(0,3)
C.(1,-5)
D.(15,-1)

Answers

Answer:

B. (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Trying the offered solutions in the given equations gets you there pretty quickly.

7·(-6) -2(3) ≠ -6 . . . eliminates choice A

__

7·0 -2·3 = -6

8·0 +3 = 3 . . . . . . . choice B is the solution

Answer:

(0,3)

B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The system of equation.

[tex]7x-2y=-6[/tex]

[tex]8x+y=3[/tex]

Now, we solve for x and y using elimination method.

Elimination method: In this method to make the coefficient of one variable same and then cancel out by addition of both equation.

Multiply 2nd equation by 2 and we get

[tex]16x+2y=6[/tex]

[tex]7x-2y=-6[/tex]

Add both equation and eliminate y

[tex]23x=0[/tex]

[tex]x=0[/tex]

Put x=0 into 1st equation, 7x-2y=-6

7(0) - 2y = -6

           y = 3

Solution: x = 0 and y = 3

Hence, The solution of the equation would be (0,3)

Problem:
A non-linear system consists of two functions: f(x)=x²+2x+1 and g(x)=3-x-x². Solve this system in two different ways. Your choices are: Table, Graph, or Algebraically.

A. Make a table of values for the functions. The table may be horizontal or vertical but it must have a minimum of five x-values and the corresponding function values showing each solution, one value lower, one value higher, and one between the two solutions. Indicate the solutions by marking the x-values and the corresponding function values that are equal.


B. Solve the system algebraically. (Hint: set the two functions equal to each other and solve the resulting function.) You should obtain a quadratic equation. Solve it either by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Give the x-values of the solution set, then evaluate the original function to find the corresponding y-values. Give the results as ordered pairs of exact values.


C. Plot a graph of the functions over an interval sufficient to show the solutions. You may carefully sketch or plot your graph manually or use Desmos or other technology. Clearly indicate and label on the graph the x and y values of the solution(s).

Answers

Answer:

Part B. see the procedure

Part C. see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]f(x)=x^{2}+2x+1[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]g(x)=3-x-x^{2}[/tex] -----> equation B  

Part B. Solve the system algebraically

equate the equation A and the equation B

[tex]x^{2}+2x+1=3-x-x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]2x^{2}+3x-2=0[/tex]

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form [tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex] is equal to

[tex]x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}[/tex]

in this problem we have

[tex]2x^{2}+3x-2=0[/tex]

so

[tex]a=2\\b=3\\c=-2[/tex]

substitute in the formula

[tex]x=\frac{-3(+/-)\sqrt{3^{2}-4a(2)(-2)}} {2(2)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-3(+/-)\sqrt{25}} {4}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-3(+/-)5} {4}[/tex]

[tex]x1=\frac{-3(+)5} {4}=0.5[/tex]

[tex]x2=\frac{-3(-)5} {4}=-2[/tex]

Find the values of y

For x=0.5

[tex]f(0.5)=0.5^{2}+2(0.5)+1=2.25[/tex]

For x=-2

[tex]f(-2)=(-2)^{2}+2(-2)+1=1[/tex]

the solutions are the points

(0.5,2.25) and (-2,1)

Part C. Solve the system by graph

using a graphing tool

we know that

The solution of the non linear system is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection points are (0.5,2.25) and (-2,1)

therefore

The solutions are the points (0.5,2.25) and (-2,1)
