Final answer:

The value of the discriminant of the quadratic equation -2x² - 8x + 8 is 128. The positive discriminant suggests that the equation has two distinct real roots.

Explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic equation can be calculated using the formula D = b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

In the given quadratic equation -2x² - 8x + 8, a = -2, b = -8, and c = 8. Substituting these values into the discriminant formula:

D = (-8)² - 4(-2)(8) = 64 - (-64) = 128.

The value of the discriminant is 128. The discriminant value can provide information about the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation. If the discriminant is positive (greater than 0), then the equation has two distinct real roots. If the discriminant is 0, then the equation has one real root (a repeated root). If the discriminant is negative, then the equation has no real roots.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find out hour much the secretary gets paid an hour.  So you will divide $262.50 by 35 hours

262.50 / 35 = 7.50

so we know that she worked over time of 6 hours and that will be time and half

to figure out how much for time and a half.  We are going to divide her hourly rate by 2.  

7.50 / 2 = 3.75

then to find out how much she made for that 6 hours we will add

7.50 + 3.75 = 11.25

to get the amount for over time on Saturday we will multiply

11.25 x 6 = 67.50

Now for the double time we will double her pay so will add

7.50 + 7.50 = 15

so then we are going to multiply to get your pay for the 4 hours overtime

15(4) = $60

Now to find the total amount we are going to add all of our totals together.  

262.50 + 67.50 + 60 = 390.

Her total gross wage for the week is $390.

Answer:

y/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3=y+2

------  --------

3          2

Using cross products

2(x+3) = 3(y+2)

Distribute

2x+6 = 3y+6

Subtract 6 from each side

2x+6-6 = 3y+6-6

2x= 3y

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 3y/2

x = 3/2 y

We want to find x/3

Divide each side by 3

x/3 = 3/2 y * 1/3

x/3 = 1/2 y

Final answer:

The outlier with a large residual indicates it does not fit the line of best fit, and removing it can improve the model's accuracy. After recalculating without the outlier, a stronger correlation coefficient of 0.9121 suggests that the line of best fit models the data better.

Explanation:

Understanding Residuals and Outliers in Linear Regression

In the context of linear regression, a residual is the difference between the observed value of the dependent variable (y) and the predicted value (ý) provided by the regression model. We are testing the residuals to determine how closely the regression line models the actual data points. If a residual is larger than twice the standard deviation (in this case, greater than 32.8 or less than -32.8), the corresponding data point is considered an outlier. The single large outlier identified with a grade of 65 on the third exam and 175 on the final exam has a substantial residual of 35, indicating that this data point does not fit well with the line of best fit. This outlier can significantly affect the regression line's slope and y-intercept.

Outliers can have a significant impact on the best-fit line, potentially skewing the results and affecting predictions. To assess the outlier's influence, we can remove it and re-calculate the best-fit line and correlation coefficient. If the coefficient is closer to 1 or -1 and the sum of squared errors (SSE) is lower after re-calculating, this indicates a better fit. In this case, the line of best fit without the outlier provides a correlation coefficient of 0.9121, suggesting a stronger linear relationship between the third exam and final exam scores after removing the outlier.

Distribute and get rid of paranthesis:

8x^2-2x+3-12x^2-4x+3

Pair up like terms:

8x^2-12x^2-2x-4x+3+3

Combine the like terms:

-4x^2-6x+6

Answer:

h(x) =  -4x^2 - 6x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x)

=  8x^2 - 2x + 3 - (12x^2 + 4x - 3)    (Note the parentheses around g(x))

Distributing the negative over the parentheses:

= 8x^2 - 2x + 3 - 12x^2 - 4x + 3

= -4x^2 - 6x + 6 = h(x).

Answer:

A' = (6 , 10) , B' = (4 , 7) , C' = (1 , 7) , D' = (1 , 11) , E' = (2 , 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rotation and translation

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° counterclockwise

 ∴ Its image is (-y , x)

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 180° counterclockwise

 ∴ Its image is (-x , -y)

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 270° counterclockwise

 ∴ Its image is (y , -x)

- If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the right by h units

 ∴ Its image is (x + h , y)

- If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units

 ∴ Its image is (x - h , y)

- If the point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units

 ∴ Its image is (x , y + k)

- If the point (x , y) translated vertically down by k units

 ∴ Its image is (x , y - k)

* Now lets solve the problem

- The vertices of the polygon are:

  A = (-7 , 8) , (B = (-4 , 6) , C = (-4 , 3) , D = (-8 , 3) , E = (-9 , 6)

- The polygon rotates 270° counterclockwise about the origin

∵ Point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 270° counterclockwise

∴ Its image is (y , -x)

∵ A = (-7 , 8)

∴ Its image = (8 , 7)

∵ B = (-4 , 6)

∴ Its image = (6 , 4)

∵ C = (-4 , 3)

∴ Its image = (3 , 4)

∵ D = (-8 , 3)

∴ Its image = (3 , 8)

∵ E = (-9 , 6)

∴ Its image = (6 , 9)

- After the rotation the image will translate 2 units to the left and

 3 units up

∴ We will subtract 2 units from each x-coordinates of the vertices and

  add 3 units to each y-coordinates of the vertices

∵ Point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units

∴ Its image is (x - h , y)

∵ Point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units

∴ Its image is (x , y + k)

∴ A' = (8 - 2 , 7 + 3)

∴ A' = (6 , 10)

∴ B' = (6 - 2 , 4 + 3)

∴ B' = (4 , 7)

∴ C' = (3 - 2 , 4 + 3)

∴ C' = (1 , 7)

∴ D' = (3 - 2 , 8 + 3)

∴ D' = (1 , 11)

∴ E' = (6 - 2 , 9 + 3)

∴ E' = (4 , 12)

* The coordinates of its image are:

  A' = (6 , 10) , B' = (4 , 7) , C' = (1 , 7) , D' = (1 , 11) , E' = (2 , 12)

After a 270° counterclockwise rotation and 2 units left and 3 units up translations, the polygon's image has the new coordinates A''(-10,-4), B''(-8,-1), C''(-5,-1), D''(-5,-5), and E''(-8, -6).

In trigonometry and geometry, a 270° counterclockwise rotation of a point (x, y) about the origin gives a new point (-y, x). Now, let us consider the transformation of point A(-7, 8). After a 270° rotation, the new point is A'(-8, -7) and after translating 2 units left and 3 units up, the final transformed point A'' is (-8-2, -7+3) = (-10, -4).

Following the same process, B'(-6, -4), C'(-3, -4), D'(-3, -8), E'(-6, -9) and, after translation, B''(-8, -1), C''(-5, -1), D''(-5, -5), E''(-8, -6). Thus, the coordinates of the polygon A'B'C'D'E' after a 270° counterclockwise rotation and a 2 unit left and 3 units up translations are A''(-10,-4), B''(-8,-1), C''(-5,-1), D''(-5,-5), and E''(-8, -6).

To solve the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution. However, when we substitute the expression for x in the second equation, we get an equation that is not true, indicating that the system has no solution.

To solve the system of equations given by 5x - 2y = -6 and 15x - 6y = 6, we can use the method of substitution. First, we can solve one of the equations for either variable, then substitute that expression into the other equation to solve for the other variable. Let's solve the first equation for x:

5x - 2y = -6

5x = 2y - 6

x = (2y - 6)/5

Now, substitute this expression for x in the second equation:

15((2y - 6)/5) - 6y = 6

6y - 18 - 6y = 6

-18 = 6

This leads to the equation -18 = 6, which is not true. Therefore, the system of equations has no solution. So, the correct answer is C. No solution.

Hi there!

The best way to approach this problem is Soh Cah Toa.

In this case you can use sine. sine is opposite over hypotenuse.

so sin(17)= b/15

then to solve for b you multiply 15 on both sides to get 4.4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is an application of the sine law

Equation

b/sin(B) = c / Sin(C)

Givens

b = ????

B = 17

c = 15

C = 140

Solution

Keep in mind that this may not work.

b/sin(17) =   15 / sin(140)                          Multiply both sides by sin(17)

b = 15*sin(17)/sin(140)

b = 15*0.2924/0.6428

b = 6.8233

Answer:

C'D'=3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The translation of a segment does not modify its length

so

The length of the segment CD and the length of the segment C'D' are equal

therefore

C'D'=3 units

Verify

Let

The coordinate of point C equal to x1 and the coordinate of point D equal to x2

so

The length of segment CD is equal to

CD=x2-x1=3

The rule of the translation is

x ------> x+2

The new coordinates will be

C'=x1+2

D'=x2+2

The length of segment C'D' is equal to

(x2+2)-(x1+2)=(x2-x1)=3 units

52 divided by 4 is 13. 52 pickles divided into 4 pickles for each meal is 13. 39 patties divided by 3 patties is 13 aswell so. the answer: 39

The number of meat patties that are needed if 52 pickles are used is:

                                     39 meat patties.

It is given that:

The Big Burger recipe calls for 3 meat patties, 2 slices of cheese, and four pickles.

This means that for every 4 pickles there are 3 meat patties.

This means that for every 1 pickles there are: 3/4 meat patties.

Hence, for every 52 pickles there are: 3/4×52 meat patties

                                                            = 39 meat patties.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two digit number is 10x + y, where x is the first digit and y is the second digit.

The sum of the digits is 8:

x + y = 8

If 8 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

10x + y − 8 = 10y + x

Simplify the second equation:

9x − 8 = 9y

Substitute from the first equation.

y = 8 − x

9x − 8 = 9 (8 − x)

9x − 8 = 72 − 9x

18x = 80

x = 4.444

There's a problem.  x isn't an integer.  Are you sure you copied the problem correctly?  Perhaps you meant if 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

9x − 18 = 9 (8 − x)

m∠B = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the figure given to you is a triangle, which has 3 angles, and the total measurement of 3 angles is = 180°.

Let m∠B = x

     m∠A = 60°

     m∠C = 30°

Set the equation:

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

60 + x + 30 = 180

Isolate the variable, x. Combine like terms:

x + (60 + 30) = 180

x + (90) = 180

Isolate the variable, x. Subtract 90 from both sides:

x + 90 (-90) = 180 (-90)

x = 180 - 90

x = 90

m∠B = 90°

To find the value of x, we set the expressions for the sides of the rectangle equal to each other (4x - 16 = x + 5) and solve for x to get x = 7.

The student has asked to find the value of x given that QRST is a rectangle with sides RT and SQ. Since in a rectangle opposite sides are equal, we can set the expressions for RT and SQ equal to each other:

RT = SQ

4x – 16 = x + 5

To solve for x, we must do some algebra. Subtract x from both sides of the equation:

4x – x – 16 = 5

Combine like terms:

3x – 16 = 5

Add 16 to both sides:

3x = 21

Divide by 3:

Make a whole number of the wall. In this case, multiply by 2:

1/2 x 2 = 2

Because you multiplied 2 to the wall, you must also multiply 2 to the hours:

1/4 x 2 = 2/4

Remember to simplify:

(2/4)/(2/2) = 1/2

It will take you 1/2 hr to paint one wall.

~

30 minutes

A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes, because 60÷4=15.

So, this means that half of a wall equals to 15 minutes.

If you painted half of a wall, you have another half remaining.

Therefore, 2×15=30

30 minutes is the answere

Answer:

The roots are rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± [tex]\sqrt{144}[/tex] = ± 12 ← both rational

A rational number can be expressed in the form

[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] where a and b are integers.

12 = [tex]\frac{12}{1}[/tex] ← thus rational

- 12 = [tex]\frac{-12}{1}[/tex] ← thus rational

Answer:

The answer is that x^2=144 is rational

Final answer:

The volume of the oblique rectangular prism is calculated using the length, width, and height. The formula V = l  times w  times h gives a volume of 504 cubic centimeters.

Explanation:

To find the volume of an oblique rectangular prism, we use the same formula as for a right rectangular prism because the volume is not affected by the obliquity of the sides. The formula for the volume (V) is the product of the length (l), width (w), and height (h). So, using the provided dimensions:

V =l  times w  times h = 8 cm  times 7 cm times 9 c

Now, let's calculate:

V = 8  times 7  times 9 = 504 cm

Therefore, the volume of the oblique rectangular prism is 504 cubic centimeters.

Answer:

center ( -5 , 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : If the equation of a circle is (x + 5)² + (y - 7)² = 36.

To find : Find its center .

Solution : We have given (x + 5)² + (y - 7)² = 36.

Standard equation of circle : (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r².

Where, (h ,k) = center , r =  radius .

On comparing (x + 5)² + (y - 7)² = 36.

h = -5 , k = 7

So, the center ( -5 , 7).

Therefore, center ( -5 , 7).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a right triangle.

The formula of an area of a right triangle:

[tex]A=\dfrac{ab}{2}[/tex]

a, b - legs

Find x-intercept and y-intercept of a line 4x + 5y = 20.

x-intercept (y = 0):

4x + 5(0) = 20

4x + 0 = 20

4x = 20     divide both sides by 4

x = 5

y-intercept (x = 0):

4(0) + 5y = 20

0 + 5y = 20

5y = 20      divide both sides by 5

y = 4

Therefore the legs are a = 5, b = 4.

Substitute:

[tex]A=\dfrac{(5)(4)}{2}=\dfrac{20}{2}=10[/tex]

Look at the picture.
