For what value of a does the equation ax^2−3x−5=0 have 1 as one of its roots?

Answers

Answer 1
First, rearrange the equation so you have just ax² on one side. This can be done by adding -3x and -5 on both sides of the equation:
ax²=3x+5
Now, substitute x for 1 and simplify:
a(1²)=(3×1)+5
1a=3+5
a=8
You can double check this by substituting a for 8 back into the original equation:
(8×1²)-(3×1)-5=0
8-3-5=0
Answer 2

To determine the value of ↑ which the equation ax²-3x-5=0 has 1 as a root, we substitute x=1 into the equation and solve for a, yielding the result that a=8.

To find the value of a for which the equation ax² - 3x-5=0 has 1 as one of its roots, we can substitute x=1 into the equation and solve for a. When x=1, the equation simplifies to:

a(1)² - 3(1) - 5 = 0

a - 3 - 5 = 0

a - 8 = 0

Therefore, a = 8.

This means that the value of a is 8 for the equation to have 1 as one of its roots. This is a direct application of the fact that if a polynomial has a certain number as a root, then by substituting that number in place of the variable, the equation should result in zero.

250/3 more than 100% So Bob traveled much more than he expected.

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]90[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{250}{3} = 1.08[/tex]

This is 1% of the trip

[tex]1.08[/tex] · [tex]100 = 108[/tex]

Nancy has nine books and she has read 8 total books Sally has two times more books the Nancy how many books does Sally have

Answers

Sally has eight-teen books.

Sally has 18 books, as she has two times more books than Nancy, who has 9 books. The equation used is Sally's books = 2 × Nancy's books. Therefore, 2 × 9 = 18.

To determine how many books Sally has, we need to understand that she has two times more books than Nancy. Nancy has a total of 9 books.

The equation we use here is:

Sally's books = 2 × Nancy's books

Given Nancy's books = 9:

Sally's books = 2 × 9 = 18

Therefore, Sally has 18 books.

Sven investigates the amount of damage to the head gaskets on the trucks in his fleet and find that the damage index depends on the ambient temperature. He develops the equation y = - 2 3 x + 14 to model the relationship. What does 14 mean? A) The temperature only adds 14 to the damage index. B) If there is no damage index then the ambient temperature is 14. C) If the damage index is 0, then the ambient temperature would be 0. D) If the ambient temperature is 0 then the damage index would be 14.

Answers

Given is the damage index equation, [tex] y=\frac{-2}{3} x+14 [/tex]

where y represents damage index, and x represents ambient temperature.

It is similar to slope-intercept form of linear equation given by y = mx + b.

Where m is said to be the slope of line and b is the y-intercept of the line. When x = 0, y = b.

Similarly, if plug x = 0 in the damage index equation, [tex] y=\frac{-2}{3} (0)+14=14 [/tex]

So, If ambient temperature, x = 0. Then damage index, y = 14.

Hence, option D is correct i.e. " If the ambient temperature is 0 then the damage index would be 14".

Answer:

The answer is D because 14 is the y-intercepts, which means that the x-value is 0. So the correct meaning is If the ambient temperature is 0 then the damage index would be 14. .

A flagpole that was originally 24 feet tall has cracked 9 feet from the ground and has fallen as if hinged. Find

out how far from the base of the flagpole the top of the flagpole touched after it had fallen.

Answers

The top of the flag pole touched the ground 12 feet from the base.

Since it cracked 9 feet from the base, 9 is the vertical leg of the right triangle formed.  The rest of the flagpole, 24-9=15, is the hypotenuse, as it is slanted down to the ground.  The missing side is the horizontal leg, which we will call b:

9²+b²=15²
81+b²=225

Subtract 81 from both sides:
81+b²-81=225-81
b²=144

Take the square root of both sides:
√b²=√144
b=12

The midpoint is [0.5 , 4.5]
Answer:

Hence, the mid-point of side EF is located at:

                    (-0.5,4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the coordinates of a mid-point C(e,f) of a line segment AB with vertices A(a,b) and B(c,d) is given by:

[tex]e=\dfrac{a+c}{2},\ f=\dfrac{b+d}{2}[/tex]

Here we have to find the mid-point of side EF.

E(-2,3) i.e. (a,b)=(2,3)

and F(1,6) i.e. (c,d)=(1,6)

Hence, the coordinate of midpoint of EF is:

  [tex]e=\dfrac{-2+1}{2}\ ,\ f=\dfrac{3+6}{2}\\\\\\e=\dfrac{-1}{2}\ ,\ f=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\\\e=-0.5\ ,\ f=4.5[/tex]

You can further confirm this expression by solving the expression:

(x4 − 2) ÷ (x + 1).

x^4 - 1 -1/x+1

x^4-1/x+1 - 1/x+1

(x^2-1) (x^2+1)/x+1 - 1/x+1

(x-1)(x+1) (x^2+1)/x+1  - 1/x+1

x+1 n the numerator will be cancelled out by x+1 in the denominator.

(x-1) (x^2+1) - 1/x+1

Multiply (x^2+1) by x-1

x(x^2+1) -1(x^2+1)  - 1/x+1

A set of scores ranges from a high of x = 96 to a low of x = 11. if these scores were placed in a grouped frequency distribution table, what is the best value for the interval width?

Answers

There is no hard and fast rule to select the class width. It largely depends on our application.However, one thing that should be kept in mind is that the number of classes should neither to be too low nor too high. So keeping this thing in mind, the class width is select.

The range of the data is = Maximum- Minimum = 96 - 11 = 85
10 classes will be most suited for this data.

The class width for each data can be calculated as:
 
Class Width = Range / Number of Classes  = 85/10 = 8.5
Class width is always rounded to nearest next integer. So the class width will be 9 in this case.
 
So, the best value of class width or interval width for the given data will be 9.

The best value for the interval width is 17

The highest and the lowest data elements are given as:

x = 96

x = 11

Start by calculating the range

Range = High - Low

So, we have:

Range = 96 - 11

Range = 85

The interval width depends on the number of classes.

Assume that the number of classes is 5,

Then the width is calculated as:

Width = Range / Class

So, we have:

Width = 85/5

Width = 17

Hence, the number of interval width is 17
