HELP PLEASE. The product of the roots of the equation ax^2+x-24=0 is equal to -2 2/5. Find the value of a in the equation.

Answers

Answer 1

The value of a in the equation is 10

The root of the equation is determined using the equation shown below:

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

Given the quadratic equation ax^2+x-24=0;

a = ab = 1c = -24

The product of the quadratic equation is c/a

Product = c/a

- 2 2/5 = -24/a

-12/5 = -24/a

-12a = 5 * -24

-12a = -120

a = 10

Hence the value of a in the equation is 10

Answer 2

Compare to ax^2+bx+c

b=1c=-24a=a

Product of roots=c/a

2. A small university is trying to monitor its electricity usage. For a random sample of
30 weekend days (Saturdays and Sundays), the student center used an average of 94.26 kilowatt hours (kWh) with standard deviation 43.29. For a random sample of 60 weekdays, (Monday - Friday), the student center used an average of 112.63 kWh with standard deviation 32.07.(Please show work)

a) Test, at the 5% level, if significantly more electricity is used at the student center, on average, on weekdays than weekend days. Remember to check the conditions, identify the hypotheses, define your parameter, find the test statistic, find the p-value, and give a conclusion in context.

b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days. Use two decimal places in your margin of error.

Answers

Using the t-distribution, it is found that:

a) Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that significantly more electricity is used at the student center, on average, on weekdays than weekend days.

b) The 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days is (3.56, 33.18).

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is no difference, that is, the subtraction is at most 0, hence:

[tex]H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is difference, that is, the subtraction is positive, hence:

[tex]H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]

The standard errors are given by:

[tex]s_1 = \frac{32.07}{\sqrt{60}} = 4.14[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \frac{43.29}{\sqrt{30}} = 7.9[/tex]

The distribution of the difference has mean and standard deviation given by:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 112.63 - 94.26 = 18.37[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{4.14^2 + 7.9^2} = 8.92[/tex]

The standard deviation are given for the samples, hence, the t-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = 0[/tex] is the value tested at the hypothesis.

Hence:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{18.37 - 0}{8.92}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.06[/tex]

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05 and 30 + 60 - 2 = 88 df is [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.66[/tex]

Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that significantly more electricity is used at the student center, on average, on weekdays than weekend days.

Item b:

The interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm t^{\ast}s[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\overline{x} - t^{\ast}s = 18.37 - 1.66(8.92) = 3.56[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + t^{\ast}s = 18.37 + 1.66(8.92) = 33.18[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days is (3.56, 33.18).

What is the approximate value of q in the equation below? q log Subscript 2 Baseline 6 = 2 q 2 â€""1. 613 â€""1. 522 0. 585 3. 79.

The approximate value of q in the equation is [tex]0.774[/tex]

The equation is given as:

[tex]q\log_2(6) = 2[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]\log_2(6)[/tex].

So, we have:

[tex]q= \frac{2}{\log_2(6) }[/tex]

Determine log(6) base 2

[tex]q= \frac{2}{2.585}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15x30 = 450

Answer:

She purchased 30 shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid only $400 Dollars, because she got a discount of $50.

So the total before getting the discount was $450.

If you divide $450 by $15 (the price for 1 shirt) you come up with 30.

The sum of the square of the constants is 3/4

Given the equation [tex]\frac{1}{a+1} +\frac{1}{b+1} +\frac{1}{c+1} =2[/tex]

The partial form of the equation is given as:

[tex]\frac{1}{a +1} = 2\\[/tex]

Solve for the constant "a"

[tex]\frac{1}{a +1} = 2\\a+1 = \frac{1}{2} \\a = \frac{1}{2} - 1\\a =-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence [tex]a=b=c=-\frac{1}{2} \\[/tex]

Taking the square of the constant, we will have:

[tex]a^2 + b^2 + c^2 =(-1/2)^2 +(-1/2)^2+(-1/2)^2\\a^2 + b^2 + c^2 =1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4\\a^2 + b^2 + c^2 =3/4[/tex]

the domain is the x value (first number) and the range is the y value (second number)

(if a number appears more than once in the domain or range, like in number 1 you don't have to write it again.)

to graph the domain and range you just plot the points,

and to map them you have to put the x values in the first oval and the y values in the second, usually in order from smallest to largest.

then you have to draw arrows connecting each x value to the y value that was in the same pair. just like when writing down the domain/range, if a number comes up again you don't have to write it down again. instead, you might have two or more arrows connecting to the same  number.

A gaming computer system and additional equipment was purchased for $2,000. The system and equipment depreciate in value by 10% each year.

After how many years will the computer have a value less than $1,000?

A. 1
B. 3
C. 7
D. 8

Answers

2000-200 = 1800

1800-180 = 1620

1620 - 162 = 1458

1458- 148.8 = 1309

1309 - 130.9 = 1178

1178- 117.8 = 1060.2

1060 - 106 = 954

= 7 years

The value of the car is $956.5938 after 7 years and this can be determined by using arithmetic operations.

Given :

A gaming computer system and additional equipment was purchased for $2,000. The system and equipment depreciate in value by 10% each year.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of years will the computer have a value of less than $1,000:

Step 1 - The 10% of $2000 is $200. So, the value of the car after 1 year is $1800.

Step 2 - The 10% of $1800 is $180. So, the value of the car after 2 years is $1620.

Step 3 - The 10% of $1620 is $162. So, the value of the car after 3 years is $1458.

Step 4 - The 10% of $1458 is $145.8. So, the value of the car after 4 years is $1312.2.

Step 5 - The 10% of $1312.2 is $131.22. So, the value of the car after 5 years is $1180.98.

Step 6 - The 10% of $1180.98 is $118.098. So, the value of the car after 6 years is $1062.882.

Step 7 - The 10% of $1062.882 is $106.2882. So, the value of the car after 7 years is $956.5938.
