Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
a1 = 5
a2 = 5*r = 5*(5/4) = 25/4 
a3 = 5*r² = 5*(5/4)² = 125/16 
a4 = 5*r³ = 5*(5/4)³ = 625/256 
a5 = 5*r⁴ = 5*(5/4)⁴ = 3125/1024

If the squared difference of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2+kx+30 is equal to 169 find the value of k and the zeroes

anyanavicka [17]

ANSWER

$x = 2 \: \: or \: \: x = 15$

$x = - 2 \: \: or \: \: x = - 15$

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial is

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + kx + 30$

where a=1,b=k, c=30

Let the zeroes of this polynomial be m and n.

Then the sum of roots is

$m + n = - \frac{b}{a} = -k$

and the product of roots is

$mn = \frac{c}{a} = 30$

The square difference of the zeroes is given by the expression.

$( {m - n})^{2} = {(m + n)}^{2} - 4mn$

From the question, this difference is 169.

This implies that:

$( { - k)}^{2} - 4(30) = 169$

${ k}^{2} -120= 169$

$k^{2} = 289$

$k= \pm \sqrt{289}$

$k= \pm17$

We substitute the values of k into the equation and solve for x.

$f(x) = {x}^{2} \pm17x + 30$

$f(x) = (x \pm2)(x \pm 15)$

The zeroes are given by;

$(x \pm2)(x \pm 15) = 0$

$x = \pm2 \: \: or \: \: x = \pm 15$

18. Manufacturers often package products in a way that uses the least amount of material One measure of the efficiency of a pack

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a. $E=\frac{2h+2r}{rh}$

E of first can = $E=\frac{2h+2r}{rh}$

E of second can = $E=\frac{h+2r}{rh}$

c. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The efficiency ratio is:

E = Surface Area / Volume

We can write:

$E=\frac{S}{V}$

Where

S is surface area of cylinder

V is volume of cylinder

The formulas are:

S = $2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

V = $\pi r ^2 h$

So, the efficiency ratio (E) is:

$E=\frac{2\pi rh+2\pi r^2}{\pi r^2 h}\\E=\frac{\pi r(2h+2r)}{\pi r(rh)}\\E=\frac{2h+2r}{rh}$

The first can has radius "r" and height "h", so the efficiency ratio is:

$E=\frac{S}{V}\\E=\frac{2\pi rh+2\pi r^2}{\pi r^2 h}\\E=\frac{\pi r(2h+2r)}{\pi r(rh)}\\E=\frac{2h+2r}{rh}$

The second can has same height, "h", and twice radius, "2r", so the efficiency ratio becomes:

$E=\frac{S}{V}\\E=\frac{2\pi (2r)h+2\pi (2r)^2}{\pi (2r)^2 h}\\E=\frac{4\pi rh +8\pi r^2}{4\pi r^2h}\\E=\frac{4\pi r(h+2r)}{4\pi r(rh)}\\E=\frac{h+2r}{rh}$

We now need to say if the company made a good decision or not.

If you look at both the Efficiency ratios above, you will see that the difference is in the numerator.

The first can has "2h"

The second can has "h"

The "2h" makes the numerator for the first can BIGGER than the "h" of the second can, so the Efficiency ratio of first can is thus, BIGGER.

We need smaller ratio.

So, 2nd can has indeed smaller ratio, so the company made a good decision.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

d. The random variable is the number of years in which the temperature increased from the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable is the amount of years that have higher average temperatures than its previous year.

As the sample is from 5 years, the random variable can take values from 0 (where none of the years increase their average temperature from its previous year) to 4 (where every year increases the average temperature).
