What are the solutions of the equation (2x + 3)2 + 8(2x + 3) + 11 = 0? Use u substitution and the quadratic formula to solve.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$x=-2.38$

$x=-4.62$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is $(2x+3)^2+8(2x+3)+11=0$

We let $u=2x+3$ , so the equation becomes:

$u^2+8u+11=0$

Where $a=1, b=8, c=11$

Putting it in the quadratic formula, we have:

Quadratic formula: $\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Substituting we have: $\frac{-8+-\sqrt{(8)^2-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}\\=\frac{-8+-\sqrt{20} }{2}\\=\frac{-8+-2\sqrt{5} }{2}\\=-4+\sqrt{5}, -4-\sqrt{5} }$

We let $u=2x+3$ , so x is:

$u=2x+3\\(-4+\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{5}}{2}=-2.38$

and

$u=2x+3\\(-4-\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2}=-4.62$

The solutions of the equation is $x=-2.38$ (rounded to 2 decimal places), and $x=-4.62$ (rounded to 2 decimal places)

In college basketball, some teams get most of their points from just one player, and other teams are more balanced in scoring. C

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

(B) At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game is greater than the median number of points per player per game.

(D)The mean number of points per player per game is the same at all 3 schools.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baylor University

6 players who each score 12 points per game

6 players who each score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,12,12,12,12,12,12

$Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+12+12+12+12+12+12}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{12+0}{2}=6$

University of Maryland

1 player scores 58 points per game,

1 player scores 14 points per game,

The rest(10) of the players score 0 points per game.

The Scores are: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,14,58

$Mean=\frac{0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+14+58}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{0+0}{2}=0$

Dartmouth College

4 players score 5 points per game,

4 players score 6 points per game,

4 players score 7 points per game.

The Scores are: 5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7

$Mean=\frac{5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+7+7+7+7}{12} \\Mean=6\\Median=\frac{6+6}{2}=6$

The following applies:

(B) At Maryland, the mean number of points per player per game is greater than the median number of points per player per game.

(D)The mean number of points per player per game is the same at all 3 schools.

Caleb started with 50 bacteria for his science experiment and they doubled in one day. Jenna also started with 50 bacteria for h

MrRa [10]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The second power basically means that you multiply the number by itself that many times depending on the power, and since it's 50^2, the answer is Caleb - 100 | Jenna - 2,500. (Tip: Just multiply 50 x 50)

While at a carnival, Andrew comes across a game that involves rolling a die. According to the game's rules, if the number rolled

Reptile [31]

Answer:

he can expect to lose 0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must calculate the expected value of the game.

If x is a discrete random variable that represents the gain obtained when rolling a dice, then the expected value E is:

$E =\sum xP (x)$

When throwing a dice the possible values are:

x: 1→ -$9; 2→ $4; 3→ -$9; 4→ $8; 5→ -$9; 6→ $12

The probability of obtaining any of these numbers is:

$p=\frac{1}{6}$

The gain when obtaining an even number is twice the number.

The loss to get an odd number is $ 9

So the expected gain is:

$E=-9*\frac{1}{6}-9*\frac{1}{6}-9*\frac{1}{6} + 4*\frac{1}{6} + 8*\frac{1}{6} + 12*\frac{1}{6}\\\\E =-27*\frac{1}{6} + 24*\frac{1}{6}\\\\E=-3*\frac{1}{6}\\\\E=-$0.5$
