The given Quadratic equation is

$4x^2- 8x - 13 = 0\\\\4(x^2- 2 x - \frac{13}{4}) = 0\\\\ (x-1)^2-1^2- \frac{13}{4}=0\\\\ (x-1)^2=\frac{\sqrt{17}}{4}\\\\ x-1=\pm\frac{\sqrt{17}}{4}\\\\ x=1 +\frac{\sqrt{17}}{4} \text{or} x=1-\frac{\sqrt{17}}{4}$

These are the steps to determine the roots as well as solve the quadratic equation.

You can find the mistake by looking at the procedure of solving the quadratic equation by completing the square solved above.

Repair calls are handled by one repairman at a photocopy shop. Repair time, including travel time, is exponentially distributed,

seropon [69]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Mean = 1.1 hours per call =

R = Mean rate = 1.6 per eight hour day

$\mu$ = $\frac{8}{1.6}$ = 5 per day

Based on the above information

a. The average number of customers is

$= \frac{R^2}{\mu(\mu- R)}$

$= \frac{1.6^2}{5(5- 1.6)}$

= 151

b. The system utilization is

$= \frac{R}{\mu}$

= $\frac{1.6}{5}$

= 0.32

c. The amount of time required is

= 1 - system utilization

= 1 - 0.32

= 0.68

And, there is 8 hours per day

So, it would be

= $0.68 \times 8$

= 5.44 hours

d. Now the probability of two or more customers is

$= 1 - (0.68 + 0.68 \times 0.32)$

= 0.1024

Therefore we simply applied the above formulas

If AD = 2/3 AB , what is the ratio of the length of arc BC to the length of arc DE

uysha [10]

You have :

--------------

DE arc = ( pi ) ( AD ) ( 2.36 radians / 2 pi radians ) = ( 2/3 ) ( AB ) ( 2.36 radians / 2 )

DE arc = ( 2/3 ( AB ) ( 1.18 radians )

BC arc = ( pi ) ( AB ) ( 1.18 radians / 2 pi radians )

BC arc = ( AB ) ( 0.59 radians )

BC arc / DE arc = ( AB ) ( 0.59 radians ) / ( 2/3 ) ( AB ) ( 1.18 radians )

BC arc / DE arc = ( AB ) ( 0.59 rad ) / ( 2/3 ) ( AB ) ( 1.18 rad )

BC arc / DE arc = ( 3/2 ) ( .59 rad / 1.18 rad ) = 3/4 <-------

vector u is represented by the directed line segment RS and vector v is represented by the directed line segment OP. if R=(8,-2)

melamori03 [73]

The given points are

R=(8,-2) , S=(11,-6), O=(-3,-9), and P=(0,-13)

To find the value of u and v, we have to perform subtraction of the points . That is

$u= RS = =$

$v = OP = =$

Since we get the same values of u and v , therefore the two vectors are equal .
