Solve: 4x^-2 – 3x^-1– 1 = 0

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1, -4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^-2 – 3x^-1– 1 = 0

Let  x^-1 = 1/x = y

4y^2 - 3y - 1 = 04y^2 - 4y + y - 1 = 0(y - 1) (4y + 1) = 0

1. Root 1

y - 1 = 0 y = 11/x= 1x = 1

2. Root 2

4y + 1 = 04y = -1y = -1/41/x = - 1/4x = -4

Find the value of the logarithm.
log 110
Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answers

Answer:

Log 110 = 2.041

Step-by-step explanation:

Log 110 can be simplified and reduced to

Log 110 = log (10*11)

Log 110 = log10 + log11

But log10 = 1

Log 11= unknown = x

10^x= 11

X= 1.0413926

Log 110 = 1+1.0413926

Log110 = 2.0413926

Log 110 = 2.041

How to find a vertical asymptote

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally's rational functions that have vertical asymptotes, even trig functions (which, like the tangent function, are often rational).

If the given function is the ratio of two functions, polynomial or otherwise, the graph of the given function has an asymptote at any x value for which the denominator is zero.  Example:  y = tan x = (sin x) / (cos x) has vertical asysmptotes at π/2, 3π/2, and so on, because the denominator cos x is zero for those angles.

You are writing music for a movie and you have to synchronize the music to the amount of frames per click in it. It's a battle scene so you want fast, energetic and exciting music. You choose a Presto tempo marking of 200 beats per minute. How many picture frames are there per each tempo click? (Round to the nearest whole number and write only the number.)

Answers

Answer: 7.2 frames per bit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our teempo is 200 bpm.

in one minute we have 60 seconds, so here we have:

200b/60s = 3.33 bits per second.

For movies, the standar is 24 frames per second

now, we can take the quotient between the frames per second and the bits per second and get the frames per bit.

24fps/3.33bps = 7.2 frames per bit.

-3/x+4/y=11
1/x-2/y=-5

Answers

Answer:

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y

Then the pair of equations

-3/x + 4/y = 11

1/x - 2/y = -5

Can be written as

-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)

u - 2v = -5......................................(2)

From (2)

u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)

Substituting (3) into (1)

-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11

-6v + 15 + 4v = 11

-6v + 4v = 11 - 15

-2v = -4

v = 4/2 = 2

Substituting this value of v in (3)

u = 2v - 5

u = 2(2) - 5

= 4 - 5

= -1

That is

u = -1, v = 2

Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have

1/x = -1

=> x = -1

And

1/y = 2

=> y = 1/2

Therefore

x = -1 and y = 1/2

A quick quiz consists of a multiple-choice question with 5 possible answers followed by a multiple-choice question with 5 possible answers. If both questions are answered with random guesses, find the probability that both responses are correct. Report the answer as a percent rounded to two decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol. Probability = %

Answers

Answer:

Probability = 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

For each answer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is correct, or it is not. The probability of an answer being correct is independent of other answers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Each question has 5 possible answer:

The person guesses, so [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

2 questions:

This means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]

Find the probability that both responses are correct.

This is P(X = 2).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.04[/tex]

As a percent:

Probability = 4%

At Ajax Spring Water, a half-liter bottle of soft drink is supposed to contain a mean of 519 ml. The filling process follows a normal distribution with a known process standard deviation of 6 ml.
1) The normal distribution should be used for the sample mean because:_____.
a) the sample population has a large mean.
b) the population distribution is known to be normal.
c) the population standard deviation is known.
d) the standard deviation is very small.
2) Set up hypotheses and a two-tailed decision rule for the correct mean using the 5 percent level of significance. The hypothesis for a two-tailed decision is:_______.
A. H0: mu not equal to 519, H1: mu = 519, reject if z < -1.96 or z > 1.96.
B. H0: mu not equal to 519, H1: mu = 519, reject if z > 1.96 or z < -1.96.
C. H0: mu = 519, mu not equal to 519, reject if z> 1.96 or z< -1.96.
D. H0: mu = 519, H_1: mu not equal to 519, reject if z > -1.96 or z< 1.96.
a. a.
b. b.
c. c.
d. d.
3) If a sample of 16 bottles shows a mean fill of 522 ml, does this contradict the hypothesis that the true mean is 519 ml?
A) Yes.
B) No

Answers

Answer:

1) The normal distribution should be used for the sample mean because the population distribution is known to be normal (answer b).

2) C. H0: mu = 519, H_1: mu not equal to 519, reject if z> 1.96 or z< -1.96.

3) Yes. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true mean is not 519 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) When the population follows a normal distribution, it is correct to assume a normal distribution for the sample mean.

2) As it is a two-tailed decision rule, we are interested in detecting a significant difference below and above the mean. This is why we use the unequal sign in the alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis state that there is not significant difference from 519.

The critical value for a significance level of 5% is z=1.96.

[tex]H_0: \mu=519\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 519[/tex]

3) The claim is that the true mean is not 519 ml.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=519\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 519[/tex]

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=16.

The sample mean is M=522.

The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=6.

We can calculate the standard error as:

[tex]\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{16}}=1.5[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{522-519}{1.5}=\dfrac{3}{1.5}=2[/tex]

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

[tex]\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(z>2)=0.046[/tex]

As the P-value (0.046) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true mean is not 519 ml.

In this diagram, BAC – EDF. If the
area of BAC = 24 in2, what is the
area of EDF?
Help please

Answers

The triangles are congruent. So.

Triangle ABC is 24 inch^2 and BC is 4 inches.
The area of a triangle is 0.5 x base x height. The will be 12 because 12 x 4 x 0.5 which equals 24.

Triangle DEF is half the size of ABC because bc is 4 and EF is 2 showing it’s half. This then means the height will be half which then mean it will be 6.

This then means we can use the equation to work it out. So. 6 x 0.5 x 2 = 6in^2

The answer is 6inches^2

If the area of ΔBAC = 24 in², the area of ΔEDF is 6 in².

What are similar triangles?

If two triangles' angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportionate, they are considered similar. To put it another way, similar triangles are the same in shape but not necessarily in size. If ΔPQR and ΔMNO are two similar triangles, then we can write it as ΔPQR ∼ ΔMNO.

Statement:

The square of the ratio of any pair of their respective sides is equal to the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles.

How to solve this problem?

Since ΔBAC ∼ ΔEDF, we can use the above statement to find the area of ΔEDF. Let the area of ΔEDF be x in². Given that length of EF and BC is 2 in and 4 in respectively.

So, we have to solve this equation,

24/x = 4²/2²

Now, 24/x = 16/4

i.e. 24/x = 4

i.e. 4x = 24

i.e. x = 24/4 = 6

Therefore the area of ΔEDF is 6 in².
