The solution to the equation of the polynomial function x³-5x+5 = 2x²-5  is (c) –2.24, 2, 2.24.

What is Polynomial Equation?

A polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables.

Here, The function is given as:

         x³-5x+5 = 2x²-5

Split the function.

So, we have:

   y = x³-5x+5

   y = 2x²-5

Using a graphing calculator, we have the x coordinate at the point o intersection of both equations to be

x = –2.24, 2, 2.24

Answers

The range of the function f(x) = 3x3 when its domain is {2, 5} is {24, 375}

Domain and range of a function

The domain is the independent value for which a function exists.

Given the function below;

f(x) = 3x^3

If the domain of the function is {2, 5}, the range are;

If x = 2

f(2) = 3(2)^3
f(2) = 3(8)

f(2) = 24

If x = 5

f(5) = 3(5)^3

f(5) = 3(125)

f(5) = 375

The function f(x) = − x^2+ bx +1 is shown in the graph. What is the value of b?

Answers

Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here ( h, k ) = (2, 5 ) , then

y = a(x - 2)² + 5

to find a substitute any point on the parabola into the equation

using (0, 1 ) then

1 = a(0 - 2)² + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 4= a(- 2)²= 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

- 1 = a

then

y = - ( x - 2)² + 5

   = - (x² - 4x + 4) + 5

    = - x² + 4x - 4 + 5

A circle inside of a square. The square has side lengths of 5 meters.
Tariq also designs hot tubs. The diameter of the hot tub is 3 meters. What is the area of the deck that surrounds the hot tub? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

the area is 25/4 π

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter is 5 m

area will be 25/4π

Answer:

  17.9 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the deck is the difference between the area of the square and the area of the circular hot tub.

__

square area

The area of the square is given by the formula ...

  A = s² . . . . where s is the side length

For a side length of 5 m, the area is ...

  A = (5 m)² = 25 m²

circle area

The area of a circle is found from the formula ...

  A = (π/4)d² . . . . where d is the diameter

For a diameter of 3 m, the area is ...

  A = (π/4)(3 m)² = 9/4π m² ≈ 7.069 m²

deck area

The area of the deck is the difference between the square area and the circle area:

  deck area = 25 m² -7.069 m² ≈ 17.9 m²

The area of the deck surrounding the hot tub is about 17.9 m².

Makayla 300$ with 6% interest quarterly

3rd year 603.6589415506$(+4 quarters)

3rd year and 1 quarter 639.8784780436$

Answer:

So the second option is the answer: Makayla invests her money 2 years longer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for compound interest: [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Calvin:

[tex]A=658.80[/tex]

[tex]P=400[/tex]

[tex]r=0.05[/tex]

[tex]n=12[/tex]

[tex]t=?[/tex]

Makayla:

[tex]A=613.04[/tex]

[tex]P=300[/tex]

[tex]r=0.06[/tex]

[tex]n=4[/tex]

[tex]t=?[/tex]

Lets solve for [tex]t[/tex].

1)  Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]P[/tex].

[tex]\frac{A}{P} =(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

2)  Take the natural log of both sides.

[tex]ln(\frac{A}{P}) =ln((1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt})[/tex]

3)  Rewrite the right side of the equation using properties of exponents.

[tex]ln(\frac{A}{P}) =nt*ln(1+\frac{r}{n})[/tex]

4)  Divide each side of the equation by [tex]n*ln(1+\frac{r}{n})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{nt*ln(1+\frac{r}n)}{n*ln(1+\frac{r}n)}=\frac{ln(\frac{A}{P})}{n*ln(1+\frac{r}n)}[/tex]

5)  Cancel the common factor [tex]n[/tex] on the left side of the equation.

[tex]\frac{t*ln(1+\frac{r}n)}{ln(1+\frac{r}n)}=\frac{ln(\frac{A}{P})}{n*ln(1+\frac{r}n)}[/tex]

6)  Cancel the common factor of [tex]ln(1+\frac{r}{n})[/tex].

[tex]t=\frac{ln(\frac{A}{P)}}{n*ln(1+\frac{r}{n})}[/tex]

Now we have an equation for [tex]t[/tex] that we can use to answer your question.

For Calvin:

[tex]t=\frac{ln(\frac{658.80}{400)}}{12*ln(1+\frac{0.05}{12})}[/tex]

[tex]t=10[/tex]

For Makayla:

[tex]t=\frac{ln(\frac{613.04}{300)}}{3*ln(1+\frac{0.06}{3})}[/tex]

[tex]t=12[/tex]

So the second option is the answer: Makayla invests her money 2 years longer.

and the floor is such that:

Answers

Using the slope concept, it is found that the angle between the ladder and the floor will be of 33.69º.

What is a slope?

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem, we have that:

The angle is of 45º.The vertical distance is the height of h.The horizontal distance is of 3m.

Hence:

tan(45º) = h/3.

1 = h/3.

h = 3 m.

If the ladder slides 1 m down, the height will be of 2m, hence the angle will be given as follows:

[tex]\tan{\theta} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Thats the moment I decided what I would do with the rest of my life. Of course, I could have decided to be a dispatcher for the Coast Guard, and I still would have been close to the action, but I had to go for the glory.Its all about the adrenaline rush; the only problem with that rush is that there are lives at stake. Those poor fishermen got swept off track and stranded by this storm, and Im the one they are relying on to extricate them from a treacherous situation and bring them home to their families. Okay, I have to snap out of this because I know that the captain wouldnt assign me to these missions if I couldnt handle them. I have received years of elite training for missions like this, and I have a spotless track record for at-sea rescues. Why do I always have to convince myself that I am capable of this?Okay, I can see the area where these guys must be stranded, so Ill get my gear together and be ready to go. This wind is unbelievable, but if Im heading into a storm, its certainly in my favor to have Thao as my pilot. Hes the best pilot Ive ever worked with, and he can keep a helicopter steady in a monsoon. I wonder whether Thao ever doubts himself or whether he questions his ability the way I do mine. Is that something I can ask someone who has a high-pressure occupation, or will he think Ive lost my edge?It looks like were going to circle around and wait for the most judicious opportunity for rescue. I know that Thao does not want to repeatedly attempt this approach; he wants to be confident that when he makes his descent, it is at the most favorable time to carry out the rescue. I can see exactly how these fishermen got stranded here, and it looks like they did everything right once they realized they were going to get stuck. That will make the rescue much easier.I shouldnt think of this as easy. I know what I need to do here, but I could lose one these men if just one thing goes wrong. Ill hear my petty officer whos here in the chopper through my earpiece, and hell be acting as a second pair of eyes alerting me about anything he thinks I do not see coming. While thats reassuring, its up to me to get those men into this helicopter.Here we go; Thao is making his descent. Im going to be in a perfect position as I leave the chopper, and I can visualize just how this is going to go. Every move will be deliberate and meticulous, just like that rescue from sophomore year. Im close enough to see the relief in the fishermens faces. Ive got this.How does the author heighten the suspense in this story?A: The author provides details about how the fishermen became marooned at sea.B: The author describes how the chopper pilot has to make his descent at the most favorable time.C: The author describes how the narrator relies on the petty officer to alert him to things he doesn't see coming during the rescue.D: The author informs readers that the narrator's captain wouldn't have assigned the narrator to these missions if he couldn't handle them.
