(2, 8) and (1, 0)
(3, 16) and (2, 24)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(1, 0 ) and (0, - 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - y = 8 → (1)

8x² - y = 8 → (2)

since both equations are equal to 8 then equate the left sides

8x² - y = 8x - y ( subtract 8x - y from both sides )

8x² - 8x = 0 ← factor out 8x from each term

8x(x - 1) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

8x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

substitute these values into (1) and solve for y

x = 0 : 8(0) - y = 8 ⇒ y = - 8 ⇒  (0, - 8 )

x = 1 : 8(1) - y = 8 ⇒ y = 0 ⇒ (1, 0 )

solve w^2 + 7w - 18 = 0

with the steps pls​

Answers

Answer:

w=2  w = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

w^2 + 7w - 18 = 0

We can factor this equation

What 2 numbers multiply to -18 and add to 7

9*-2 = -18

9+-2 = 7

(w-2) (w+9) = 0

Using the zero product property

w-2 = 0    w+9 =0

w=2  w = -9

Answer:

[tex]w_1=2\\w_2=-9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is going to be solved using the quadratic formula.

1. Determine the quadratic equation’s coefficient [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex].

Use the standard form, [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]  , to find the coefficients of our equation,

[tex]w^2+7w-18=0[/tex]:

a = 1

b = 7

c = -18

2. Plug these coefficients into the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula gives us the roots for  [tex]aw^2+bw+c=0[/tex] , in which [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] are numbers (or coefficients), as follows:

[tex]w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

7 additional steps:

a = 1

b = 7

c = -18

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{7^2=4*1*-18} }{2*1}[/tex]

Simplify exponents and square roots

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*1*-18} }{2*1}[/tex]

Perform any multiplication or division, from left to right:

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*-18}}{2*1}\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49--72}}{2*1}\\\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49+72}}{2*1}\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{121}}{2*1}[/tex]

to get the result:

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*-18}}{2}[/tex]

3. Simplify square root [tex]\sqrt{121}[/tex]

Simplify 121 by finding its prime factors:

121 ( 11 * 11)

The prime factorization of 121 is 11^2

Write the prime factors:

[tex]\sqrt{121}=\sqrt{11\cdot 11}[/tex]

Group the prime factors into pairs and rewrite them in exponent form:

'[tex]\sqrt{11\cdot 11}=\sqrt{11^2}[/tex]

Use the rule [tex]\sqrt{x^2=x}[/tex]  to simplify further:

[tex]\sqrt{11^2}=11[/tex]

4. Solve the equation for w

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm11}{2}[/tex]

The ±  means two answers are possible.

Separate the equations:

[tex]w_1=\frac{(-7+11)}{2}[/tex] and [tex]w_2=\frac{-7-11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=\frac{-7+11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=2[/tex]

[tex]w_2=\frac{-7-11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_2=\frac{-18}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_2=-9[/tex]

Why learn this

In their most basic function, quadratic equations define shapes like circles, ellipses and parabolas. These shapes can in turn be used to predict the curve of an object in motion, such as a ball kicked by football player or shot out of a cannon. When it comes to an object’s movement through space, what better place to start than space itself—with the revolution of planets around the sun in our solar system. The quadratic equation was used to establish that planets’ orbits are elliptical, not circular. Determining the path and speed an object travels through space is possible even after it has come to a stop: the quadratic equation can calculate how fast a vehicle was moving when it crashed. With information like this, the automotive industry can design brakes to prevent collisions in the future. Many industries use the quadratic equation to predict and thus improve their products’ lifespan and safety.

How large the size of a sample needs to be if we want to a 90% confidence level with a margin of error no more than 1.5%

Answers

Answer:

A 90 percent level can be obtained with a smaller sample, which usually translates into a less expensive survey. To obtain a 3 percent margin of error at a 90 percent level of confidence requires a sample size of about 750. For a 95 percent level of confidence, the sample size would be about 1,000.

A man claims to have extrasensory perception (ESP). As a test, a fair coin is flipped 23 times, and the man is asked to predict the outcome in advance. He gets 20 out of 23 correct. What is the probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP

Answers

The probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP is 0.99979

What is the probability of determining that he would have done well with no ESP?

To determine the probability, we need to first find the probability of doing well with ESP.

The probability of having 20 correct answers out of 23 coin flips is:

[tex]\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}}[/tex]

Since we have 20 correct answers, we also need to find the probability of getting 3 answers wrong, which is:

[tex]\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}[/tex]

There are [tex](^{23}_{20})[/tex] = 1771 ways to get 20 correct answers out of 23.

Therefore, the probability of doing well with ESP is:

[tex]\mathbf{= 1771 \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}} \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}[/tex]

= 0.00021

The probability that he would have at least done well if he had no ESP is:

Gabby is a makeup artist and carries a lot of makeup around with her. she has 20 cosmetics in her bag, including 4 eye shadows. what is the probability that a randomly selected makeup item from her bag will be an eye shadow? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answers

The probability that a randomly selected makeup item from her bag will be an eye shadow is 1/5 or 20%.

The probability of selecting an eye shadow from Gabby's bag can be calculated by dividing the number of eye shadows in the bag by the total number of cosmetics in the bag.

There are 4 eye shadows in Gabby's bag, and a total of 20 cosmetics. Therefore, the probability of selecting an eye shadow is:

P(eye shadow) = 4/20 = 1/5

This means that there is a 1 in 5 chance, or a 20% chance, that a randomly selected makeup item from Gabby's bag will be an eye shadow.

The probability can be expressed as a fraction or a whole number, depending on the context of the problem. In this case, we can express the probability as the fraction 1/5, which means that out of 20 possible cosmetics, only 4 are eye shadows.

We can also express the probability as the whole number 0.2 or 20%, which represents the proportion of eye shadows in Gabby's bag.

The weight, w, that a horizontal beam can support varies inversely as the
length, l, of the beam. a beam measuring 5 meters in length can support
430 kilograms. how much weight can a beam measuring 2 meters
support?

Answers

A beam measuring 2 meters can support 172 kilograms

How to determine the weight?

The variation is a direct variation.

So, we have:

w = kl

Where k is the constant of variation.

When l = 5, w = 430.

This means that:

430 = 5k

Divide both sides by 5

k = 86

So, we have:

w = 86l

When l = 2, we have:

w = 86 * 2

Evaluate

w = 172

Hence, a beam measuring 2 meters can support 172 kilograms

By decomposing the figure in simpler shapes, we will see that the total area is:

a = 180 cm²

How to find the area of the composite figure?

Remember that the area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:

A = L*W

And the area of a triangle with base B and height H is:

A = B*H/2.

Then, the upper part can be seen as a rectangle of length of 6cm and width of 6 cm, with two triangles on the sides, such that each triangle has a base of 3cm and a height of 6cm.

So the area of that part is:

A = 6cm*6cm + 2*(3cm*6cm/2) = 54cm²

Now, the bottom triangle has a base of 12 cm, and a height of:

15cm - 6cm = 9cm

Then its area is:

A' = 12cm*9cm/2 = 54cm²

This means that the total area of the figure is:

Martin order a pizza with a 16-inch diameter. Ricky ordered a pizza with a 20-inch diameter. What is the approximate difference in area of the two pizzas?

A - 50 inches
B - 113 inches
C - 201 inches
D - 452 inches

Answers

Answer:

B. -113 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the radius of the two pizzas. The radius is half of the diameter. So, the first pizza would have a radius of 8 inches, since 8 is half of 16. The second pizza would have a radius of 10 inches, since 10 is half of 20. Then you would use the area formula to find the area of the two pizzas. The area formula is A=3.14R^2. The area of the first pizza is 201.06. The area of the second pizza is 314.16. Then you subtract those two numbers to get -113.1. The answer is -113 inches.
