Common ratio = second term / first term = 12 / 8 = 1.5
AB is divided into 8 equal parts and point C is 1 part FROM A TO B, so the ratio is 1:7, with C being 1/7 of the way. The ratio is k, found by writing the numerator of the ratio (1) over the sum of the numerator and denominator (1+7). So our k value is 1/8. Now we need to find the rise and the run (slope) of the points A and B.
. That gives us a rise of -4 and a run of 12. The coordinates of C are found in this formula:
![C(x,y)=[ x_{1} +k(run), y_{1} +k(rise)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=C%28x%2Cy%29%3D%5B%20x_%7B1%7D%20%2Bk%28run%29%2C%20y_%7B1%7D%20%2Bk%28rise%29%5D)
. Filling in accordingly, we have
![C(x,y)=[-3+ \frac{1}{8}(12),9+ \frac{1}{8}(-4)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=C%28x%2Cy%29%3D%5B-3%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D%2812%29%2C9%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D%28-4%29%5D%20%20)
which simplifies a bit to
. Finding common denominators and doing the math gives us that the coordinates of point C are
. There you go!
Answer:
the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or less, P(x ≤ 95) = 0.023
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a normal probability distribution question.
We'll need to standardize the 95 days to solve this.
The standardized score is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.
z = (x - xbar)/σ
x = 95 days
xbar = mean = 105 days
σ = standard deviation = √(variance) = √25 = 5
z = (95 - 105)/5 = - 2
To determine the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or less, P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2))
We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities
P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2)) = 0.02275 = 0.023
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
A. (3x²-4x-5)(2x⁶-5)
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The fundamental theorem of Algebra states that:</u>
"A polynomial of degree 'n' will have exactly 'n' number of roots"
We know that the degree of the polynomial is given by the highest power of the polynomial.
Applying the above theorem on the given question, we can deduce that the polynomial that has exactly 8 roots is the polynomial of the 8th degree
<u>Now, let's check the choices:</u>
<u>A. (3x²-4x-5)(2x⁶-5)</u>
The term with the highest power will be (3x²)(2x⁶) = 6x⁸
Therefore, the polynomial is of 8th degree which means it has exactly 8 roots. This option is correct.
<u>B. (3x⁴+2x)⁴</u>
The term with the highest power will be (3x⁴)⁴ = 81x¹⁶
Therefore, the polynomial is of 16th degree which means it has exactly 16 roots. This option is incorrect.
<u>C. (4x²-7)³</u>
The term with the highest power will be (4x²)³ = 64x⁶
Therefore, the polynomial is of 6th degree which means that it has exactly 6 roots. This option is incorrect
<u>D. (6x⁸-4x⁵-1)(3x²-4)</u>
The term with the highest power will be (6x⁸)(3x²) = 18x¹⁰
Therefore, the polynomial is of 10th degree which means that it has exactly 10 roots. This option is incorrect
Hope this helps :)
