f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Answers

Answer:

-3/2 ±1/2 sqrt(5) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Set the function equal to 0

0 = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Factor out 2

0 = 2(x^2 + 3x + 1)

Divide by 2

0 = (x^2 + 3x + 1)

Subtract 1 from each side

-1 = x^2 +3x

Complete the square by dividing the x coefficient by 2 and then squaring

(3/2)^2 = 9/4

-1 +9/4 = x^2 +3x+9/4

-4/4+9/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

5/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

Taking the square root of each side

± sqrt(5/4) = sqrt( (x+3/2) ^2)

±1/2 sqrt(5) =  (x+3/2)

Subtract 3/2 from each side

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

Answers

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.

Step-by-step explanation:

(I just finished this assignment.)

Tre's position at the pitcher's mound as the point (42.78, 42.78).

                                                                                  (     x    ,    y     )

Hector is about 95 feet away from the pitcher's mound horizontal, (x axis).

Since we already have the correct y-coordinate, we need to solve for the correct x-coordinate.

  x = 95 + 42.78

         ↓ ↓ ↓

95 + 42.78 = 137.72

Now all you need to do is write out the coordinates.

Hector's coordinates are (137.72, 47.78 )

When printing an article of 2400 words, an entrepreneur decides to use two sizes of letters, using the largest one a printed page contains 1200 words. Using the smallest, the page contains 1500 words the article must occupy 17 full pages in the magazine how many pages must be printed using small letters?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

x= Number of small pages

y= Number of full pages

1 x + 1 y = 21 .............1

Total words

1200 x + 1500 y = 27000 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by -1500

Multiply (2) by 1

-1500 x -1500 y = -31500

1200 x + 1500 y = 27000

Add the two equations

-300 x = -4500

/ -300

x = 15

plug value of x in (1)

1 x + 1 y = 21

15 + y = 21

y = 21 -15

y = 6

y = 6

x= 15 Number of small pages

y= 6 Number of full pages

Generally the Trigonometric equation for exterior angles is mathematically given by

A randomized study compared two drugs that are designed fo lower a person's serotonin level. It was found that over a 1-year period, those receiving Drug A decreased their serotonin level by a mean of 36 nanograms per millimeter.

To determine whether the results are significant, the data are randomized and the difference of the means is shown in the dot plot. What is the best conclusion to make based on the data?

A. The difference of the means is significant because the rerandomizations show that it is outside the range of what likely happens by chance.

B. The difference of the means is not significant because the rerandomizations show that it is outside the range of what likely happens by chance.

C. The difference of the means is not significant because the rerandomizations show that it is within the range of what likely happens by chance.

D. The difference of the means is significant because the rerandomizations show that it is within the range of what likely happens by chance.

Answers

The best conclusion to make based on the data is: The difference of the means is significant because the re-randomizations show that it is outside the range of what could happen by chance.

Difference of means

Given:

Drug A= Decrease serotonin level by means of 36 nanograms per millimeter

Drug B= Decrease serotonin level by means of 20 nanograms per millimeter

Hence,

When we take a look at the difference of means data that was given, we would see that the different of means is significant  between the means of Drug A and Drug B due to chance or random variation.

Based on the fact that  the re-randomizations indicate that it is outside the range of what could happen by chance.

Therefore the correct option is A.

1.) Three numbers form a geometric sequence whose common ratio is 0.5. If the first is reduced to 10 more than one quarter its value, the second decreased by 10, and the third increased by 10 more than twice its value, the resulting three numbers form an arithmetic sequence. Determine the original three numbers.

Answers

Let x be the first number in the sequence, so the first three numbers are

{x, 0.5x, 0.5²x}

Then

{x/4 + 10, 0.5x - 10, 2(0.5²x) + 10}

is arithmetic, so there is some constant c such that

0.5x - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c   ==>   x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c

2(0.5²x) + 10 = 0.5x - 10 + c   ==>   x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

Solve the second equation for c :

x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

c = 20

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for x :

x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + 20

x/4 = 40

x = 160

Then the terms are

If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Larissa gets just refried beans and sour cream

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of toppings = 4 (ground beef, black beans, refried beans, and sour cream)

The probability of choosing any particular topping at random from the four is :

Probability = required / total possible outcomes

Hence, P = 1 / 4 = 0.25

Hence, the probability of choosing : getting refried bean and sour cream :

P(refried bean) = 1/4

P(sour cream) = 1/4

P(refried bean and sour cream) = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 =

Using a directrix of y = 5 and a focus of (4, 1), what quadratic function is created?
HELP PLS

Answers

Answer:

(x-4)^2=-8(y-3)

This is a parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the directrix is horizontal, the parabola faces up or down. Since the focus is below the directix it faces down. This means p will be negative in the equation (x-h)^2=4p(y-k).

p also tells us the half the distance between the focus and the directrix. The distance between 1 and 5 is 4, so p=-2.

The vertex is half way point between focus (4,1) and directrix y=5.

So the vertex is (4, [1+5]/2 )= (4 ,6/2)=(4,3). This is (h,k) in our equation.

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

(x-4)^2=4×-2(y-3)

(x-4)^2=-8(y-3)
