Algebraically find the roots of the quadratic equation: w2 + 8w+ 15 = 0
(HINT: You may factor or use the quadratic formula)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

w = - 5, w = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

w² + 8w + 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the w- term (+ 8)

The factors are + 5 and + 3 , since

5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3 = 8 , thus

(w + 5)(w + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w + 5 = 0 ⇒ w = - 5

w + 3 = 0 ⇒ w = - 3

b. x<1
C. X > -1
d. x > 1​

Answers

Answer:

C)  x > - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

8(7 - x) < 64

56 - 8x < 64

56 - 64 < 8x

- 8 < 8x

- 1 < x

x > - 1

Answer:

The answer is c, or x > -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem: 8(7-x) < 64

Distributive Property - So multiply 8 by both 7 and x individually

56 - 8x < 64

Subtract 56 from both sides

-8x<8

Divide both sides by 8 and flip the sign because whenever you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, you flip the sign.

x>-1

A ball is kicked off the ground with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of 30° horizontally. What is the horizontal distance the ball travels before returning to the ground?

a.15.5 m

b.17.5 m

c.19.5 m

d.21.5 m

Answers

Answer:

The horizontal distance the ball travels before returning to the ground is 19.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of range of horizontal distance =[tex]\frac{u^2 Sin 2 \theta}{g}[/tex]

Where u is the initial velocity

g is gravity

We are given that A ball is kicked off the ground with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of 30° horizontally.

So, u = 15 m/s

[tex]\theta = 30^{\circ}[/tex]

g = 10

So, the horizontal distance the ball travels before returning to the ground = [tex]\frac{15^2 Sin 2(30^{\circ})}{10}=19.48 \sim 19.5 m[/tex]

Hence The horizontal distance the ball travels before returning to the ground is 19.5 m

PLSS HELP !!!A data set has a standard deviation of 2.5. The element 16 is an element of a data set, with a z-score of 2.4. What is the mean of the data set?

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following parameters

standard deviation σ = 2.5

z-score Z = 2.4

observed value x = 16

Mean of the dataset μ = ?

Using the formula for calculating the z-score as shown to calculate the mean

[tex]Z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

On substituting the values;

[tex]2.4 = \frac{16-\mu}{2.5} \\2.4 * 2.5 = 16-\mu\\6 = 16-\mu\\\mu = 16-6\\\mu = 10[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles between transversal of parallel lines are related by several angle theorems.

The theorem that supports r || s and transversal q is (b) alternate interior angles theorem

From the image of lines q, r and s (see attachment), we have the following highlights.

Angles 3 and 6; angles 4 and 5, are alternate interior angles, and they are congruent

The above means that:

Angles 2 and 7; angles 1 and 8, are also congruent

Hence, r || s and q is a transversal, because of the alternate interior angle theorem.

let’s find the area of the circle first.

The formula to find the area of the circle is 3.14 x r^2

3.14 x 0.5^2 = 0.785 cm^2

Lets find the area of the triangle.

the formula to find the area of the triangle is 1/2 x base x height

The height is found if you subtract the square of 5 from the square of 4.

5^2 - 4^2 = 9

the square root of 9 is 3.

1/2 x 8 x 3 = 12 cm^2

lets find the area of the rectangle

length x width

8 x 4.5 = 36 cm^2

then subtract the area of the circle from the area of the rectangle and then add the area of the triangle

36 - 0.785 + 12 = 47.215 (round it off to 47)

5. A model of Earth is located 7600 meters from the Globe Arena in Sweden’s solar system model. The volume of the model is approximately 3052.08 cubic centimeters. What is the length of the radius of the

Earth model?

Solve each problem. Use 3.14 for p.

Answers

Answer:

the length of the radius of the Earth Model = 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the model of Earth is approximately 3052.08 cubic centimeters.

It has been discovered that the Earth is spherical in shape, hence this model is spherical as well.

The formula for the Volume of a Sphere = 4/3 πr³

Where r = radius or the length of the radius

The Volume of the Earth Model = 3052.08 cm³

We are told to use π = 3.14

To find the length of the radius, we have derive the formula

V = 4/3 × π × r³

V = 4πr³/3

Cross multiply

3V = 4πr³

Divide both side by 4π

3V/4π = r³

We find the cube root of both sides =

∛(3V/4π) = r

Substituting our given values in the question, we have:

∛(3 × 3052.08/ 4 ×3.14) = r

r = ∛9156.24÷12.56

r = ∛729

r = 9cm

Therefore, the length of the radius of the Earth Model = 9cm

Angle α is in quadrant III, and angle β is in quadrant II. If sin α = –4∕5 and sin β = 1∕2, find cos (α + β).

Answers

Answer:

cos (α + β) = 0.9196

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sin α = –4∕5 and sin β = 1∕2

To get α from sin α = –4∕5,

α = arcsin(-4/5)

α = arcsin (-0.8)

α = -53.13°

If angle α is in quadrant III, then α = 180+53.13 = 233.13° (sin is negative in the 3rd quadrant)

Similarly for sin β = 1∕2

β = arcsin(1/2)

β = arcsin(0.5)

β = 30°

Since  β is in quadrant II,  β = 180-30 = 150°

To find  cos (α + β). where α = 233.13° and  β = 30°

cos (α + β)= cos (233.13 + 150)

= cos 383.13°

cos (α + β) = 0.9196

Find the 7th term of the geometric sequence a3 =128,r=-1/4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for this sequence is a(n) = a(1)*(-1/4)^(n - 1).  We don't yet know a(1).

If a(3) = 128, then 128 = a(1)*(-1/4)^(3 - 1), or

128 = a(1)*(1/16)

and so a(1) = 128/16

resulting in the specific formua a(n) = 8(-1/4)^(n - 1)

Now let's find a(7):

a(7) = 8(-1/4)^1 * (-1/4)^(6)

or

a(7) = 8(-1/4)^7

Bill receives a monthly stipend of $800. He also works at a bookstore making $8 an hour. He wants a monthly income of $1,200. How many hours does he need to work each month?

Answers

Answer:

150 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill receives $800 as monthly stipend. But after this statement, it says Bill also works at a bookstore. So, it should mean that Bill does not receive $800 from the bookstore. He receives $800 from another job because of the word "also" which is mentioned in the second statement.

If the question is, to find out the number of hours Bill has to work each month if he assumes his monthly income to be $1,200 then 1200/8 = 150

But if the question is trying to mean that Bill receives $800 as a monthly stipend from the bookstore then this answer is wrong.

Then, we would have to calculate the difference.

$1200 - $800 = $420

Time = $420/8 = 50 hours.

Everything depends on the question. The question however needs some explanation, because this question is not written in a clear way.
