A graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) is shown below.

spin [16.1K]

We are given a graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) .

We need to find the solution set of the given graph of a quadratic function .

<em>Note: Solution of a function the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis.</em>

For the shown graph, we can see that parabola in the graph doesn't cut the x-axis at any point.

It cuts only y-axis.

Because solution of a graph is only the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis. Therefore, there would not by any solution of the quadratic function y = f(x).

<h3>So, the correct option is 2nd option :∅.</h3>

The thrill of riding a roller coaster is addictive, both for its users who take the ride, and for the designers and engineers

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The quantitative variables in this case are:

A. Speed

D. GForce

E. Height

G. Duration

H. Numinversions

J. Length

Step-by-step explanation:

One criteria to differentiate qualitative variables from quantitative variables is to determine if mathematical calculations over these variables makes sense.

If it makes sense, it is a quantitative variable.

For example, binary variables, although they can be represented by 0 and 1, would be a qualitative variable.

The quantitative variables in this case are:

A. Speed

D. GForce

E. Height

G. Duration

H. Numinversions

J. Length

They all will be represented by numbers for which mathematical operations make sense.

Based on the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, how many complex roots does each of the following equations have? Write your answer

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

2, 2, 4, 6, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that 'An 'n' degree polynomial will have n number of real roots'.

1. The polynomial is given by $x(x^2-4)(x^2+16) = 0$

So, on simplifying we get that, $x(x+2)(x-2)(x^2+16)=0$ .

Since, degree of polynomial is 5, it will have 5 roots.

This gives us that the roots of the equation are x = 0, -2, 2, 4i and -4i

So, the number of complex roots are 2.

2. The polynomial is given by $(x^2+4)(x+5)^2 = 0$

Since, degree of polynomial is 4, it will have 4 roots.

Equating them both by zero, $(x^2+4)= 0$ and $(x+5)^2=0$ gives that the roots of the polynomial are x = 2i, -2i, -5, -5.

So, the number of complex roots are 2.

3. The polynomial is given by $x^6-4x^5-24x^2+10x-3=0$

Since, degree of polynomial is 6, it will have 6 roots.

On simplifying, we get that the real roots of the polynomial are x = -1.75 and x = 4.28.

So, the number of complex roots are 6-2 = 4.

4. The polynomial is given by $x^7+128=0$

Since, degree of polynomial is 7, it will have 7 roots.

On simplifying, we get that the only real root of the polynomial is x = -2.

So, the number of complex roots are 7-1 = 6.

5. The polynomial is given by $(x^3+9)(x^2-4)=0$

Since, degree of polynomial is 5, it will have 5 roots.

Simplifying the equation gives $(x+2)(x-2)(x+\sqrt[3]{9})(x^2-\sqrt[3]{9x}+9^{\frac{2}{3}})=0$

Equating each to 0, we get the real roots of the polynomial is $x=-3^{\frac{2}{3}}$

So, the number of complex roots are 5-1 = 4

A square based brass plate in 4mm high and has a mass of 1.05kg. The density of the brass is 4.2g/cm3, calculate the length of t

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

$Length = 25cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Brass Shape: Square

$Density = 4.2g/cm^3$

$Mass = 1.05kg$

$Height = 4mm$

Required

Determine the length of the plate

First, we need to calculate the Volume of the Brass using

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Make Volume the subject of formula

$Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density}$

Substitute 1.05kg for Mass and 4.2g/cm³ for Density

$Volume = \frac{1,05\ kg}{4.2\ g/cm^3}$

Convert 1.05 kg to grams

$Volume = \frac{1.05 * 1000\ kg}{4.2\ g/cm^3}$

$Volume = \frac{1050 \ kg}{4.2\ g/cm^3}$

$Volume = \frac{1050 \ kg}{4.2\ g/cm^3}$

$Volume = 250cm^3$

Next is to determine the Area of the brass;

$Volume = Height * Area$

Substitute 250cm³ for Volume and 4mm for Height

$250cm^3 = 4mm * Area$

Convert mm to cm

$250cm^3 = 4 * 0.1cm * Area$

$250cm^3 = 0.4cm * Area$

Divide both sides by 0.4cm

$\frac{250cm^3}{0.4cm} = \frac{0.4cm * Area}{0.4cm}$

$\frac{250cm^3}{0.4cm} =Area$

$625cm^2 = Area$

$Area = 625cm^2$

Lastly, we'll calculate the length of the brass

Since the brass is square based;

$Area = Length^2$

Substitute 625cm² for Area

$625cm^2 = Length^2$

Take square root of both sides

$\sqrt{625cm^2} = Length$

$25cm = Length$

$Length = 25cm$

<em>Hence, the length of the square brass is 25cm</em>
