Find the constant $p$ such that $x^2 - 5x + p$ is the square of a binomial.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]p = \frac{25}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x\² - 5x + p[/tex]

Required

Find p, such that the expression is a perfect square

Write out the coefficient of x

Coefficient = -5

Next step is to divide the coefficient of x by 2

[tex]Result = \½(-5)[/tex]

Take the square of the above expression to give p

[tex]p = (\½(-5))\²[/tex]

[tex]p = (\½(-5) * (\½(-5)[/tex]

[tex]p = \½ * \½ * (-5) * (-5)[/tex]

[tex]p = \¼(25)[/tex]

[tex]p = \frac{25}{4}[/tex]

Substitute 25/4 for p in the given expression

[tex]x\² - 5x + p[/tex] becomes

[tex]x\² -5x + \frac{25}{4}[/tex]

Expand the above expression

[tex]x\² - \frac{5x}{2} - \frac{5x}{2} + \frac{25}{4}[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]x(x - \frac{5}{2}) - \frac{5}{2}(x - \frac{5}{2})[/tex]

[tex](x - \frac{5}{2})(x - \frac{5}{2})[/tex]

[tex](x - \frac{5}{2})\²[/tex]

Hence, the value of p is [tex]p = \frac{25}{4}[/tex]

so area enclosed in $\theta$ radians=$\theta \times \frac{\pi r^2}{2\pi}= \frac{1}2\theta r^2$

does this answer your question?

Answer: 5pi

===================================================

Explanation:

2pi radians is equal to 360 degrees.

The shaded region has a central angle 2pi/5 radians

Divide 2pi/5 over 2pi to end up with 1/5. The "2pi" terms cancel.

The shaded region is 1/5 of the full circle.

The full circle area is pi*r^2 = pi*5^2 = 25pi square units

Taking 1/5 of that leads to (1/5)*25pi = 5pi which is the area of the shaded region.

The area of a rectangle is x^2 + 4x - 5. If we factored this out, we would get the lengths and widths of the sides of the rectangle. For what value(s) of x would these side lengths not make any sense? Why?

Answers

Answer:

If X ≤ 1, these side lengths has no sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can factored the expression X² + 4X - 5 in a expression in the form:

(X+a) (X+b)

Where a*b = -5 and a+b = 4

That means a could be 5 and b = -1:

(X+5) (X-1)

The side lenghts of the rectangle will not have any sense if ≤ 0. With the factored expression:

(X+5) ≤ 0 ;  If X ≤ -5, these side lengths has no sense.

Also:

(X-1) ≤ 0; If X ≤ 1, these side lengths has no sense.

Both expressions are resumed in:

If X ≤ 1, these side lengths has no sense.

[tex]\displaystyle y = Asin(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{4} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{\frac{\pi}{2}}\pi[/tex]

OR

[tex]\displaystyle y = Acos(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{4} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{\frac{\pi}{2}}\pi[/tex]

You will need the above information to help you interpret the graph. So, sinse you ONLY have a graph to wourk with, you MUST figure the period out by using wavelengths. So, looking at where the graph hits [tex]\displaystyle [-5, 0],[/tex] from there to [tex]\displaystyle [-1, 0],[/tex] they are obviously [tex]\displaystyle 4\:units[/tex] apart, telling you that the period of the graph is [tex]\displaystyle 4.[/tex] Now, the amplitude is obvious to figure out because it is the A-term, but of cource, if you want to be certain it is the amplitude, look at the graph to see how low and high each crest extends beyond the midline. The midline is the centre of your graph, also known as the vertical shift, which in this case the centre is at [tex]\displaystyle y = 0,[/tex] in which each crest is extended three units beyond the midline, hence, your amplitude. So, no matter how far the graph shifts vertically, the midline will ALWAYS follow.

Julissa is thinking about getting her Master’s degree. She will give up making $28,000 a year for the 2 years it takes to complete the program. She will also pay $34,000 in total costs to get the degree. Assuming that she will make $60,000 a year after she completes her degree, how long will it take for her to recover her investment?

Answers

Answer:

1.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

She will give up making $28,000 per year for 2 years.  This means that she will give up making $56,000 in total.

$28,000 × 2 = $56,000

She also pay $34,000 in total to costs to get her degree.  She invested a total of $90,000.

$56,000 + $34,000 = $90,000

After graduating, she makes $60,000 a year.  It will take her 1.5 years to recover her investment.

90,000/60,000 = 1.5

Two angles are adjacent and form an angle of 160. Their difference is 34. Find the angles​

Answers

Answer:

The angles are 63 , 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one angle be x

As sum of two angles is 160, the other angle = 160 - x

Their difference  = 34

x - [160- x] = 34

Use distributive property to remove the brackets

x - 160 + x = 34

Add like terms

x + x - 160 = 34

2x - 160 = 34

Add 160 to both sides

2x  = 34 + 160

2x = 194

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 194/2

x = 97°

One angle = 97°

Other angle = 160 - 97 = 63°

In recent years, only 79% of the fruit sold at Fred's Fruit stand has been any good. Fred recently started buying fruit from new farmers and wants to know if there is a statistically significant increase in the percentage of good fruit. In a random sample if 475 pieces, 85 were bad. How would the conclusion change if the significance level went from 7% to 5%?

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0485 < 0.05, also less than 0.07, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a statistically significant increase in the percentage of good fruit, for both significance levels, thus the change in significance levels do not change the conclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

79% of the fruit sold at Fred's Fruit stand has been any good. Test if there has been an increase.

At the null hypothesis, we test if there has been no increase, that is, the proportion is still of 79%, so:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.79[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there has been an increase, that is, more than 79% being good, so:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.79[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.79 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.79, \sigma = \sqrt{0.79*0.21}[/tex]

In a random sample if 475 pieces, 85 were bad.

So 475 - 85 = 390 were good, and:

[tex]n = 475, X = \frac{390}{475} = 0.8211[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.8211 - 0.79}{\frac{\sqrt{0.79*0.21}}{\sqrt{475}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.66[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.8211, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z = 1.66.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.66 has a p-value of 0.9515.

1 - 0.9515 = 0.0485

The p-value of the test is 0.0485 < 0.05, also less than 0.07, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a statistically significant increase in the percentage of good fruit, for both significance levels, thus the change in significance levels do not change the conclusion.

A truck is driving up a hill with a 24% grade, so it climbs 24 feet vertically for every 100 feet horizontally.

Answers

Answer:

6/25

Step-by-step explanation:

24/100 = 6/25

Answer:

[tex]\frac{6}{25}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any relationship is always rise over run. This means the vertical distance traveled over the horizontal distance traveled will get us our slope.

We travels 24 feet vertically for every 100 feet horizontally, so:

[tex]\frac{24}{100}[/tex].

We can simplify this fraction to find the slope in fraction form.

[tex]\frac{24\div4}{100\div4} = \frac{6}{25}[/tex]

So the slope of this equation is [tex]\frac{6}{25}[/tex].
