Given: f(x) = -2x² +x+6
5.1 Calculate the coordinates of the turning point of f.​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\left(\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{49}{8}\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Turning points (stationary points) occur when the gradient of a graph is zero.

To find when the gradient of the graph is zero, differentiate the function, set it zero, then solve for x.

Given function:

[tex]f(x)=-2x^2+x+6[/tex]

Differentiate:

[tex]\implies f'(x)=(2)(-2)x^{2-1}+(1)x^{1-1}+6(0)[/tex]

[tex]\implies f'(x)=-4x+1[/tex]

Set the differentiated function to zero and solve for x:

[tex]\implies f'(x)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies -4x+1=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies 4x=1[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

To find the y-coordinate, input the found value of y into the given function:

[tex]\implies f\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=-2\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)+6[/tex]

[tex]\implies f\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=\dfrac{49}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the turning point of the function is:

[tex]\left(\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{49}{8}\right)[/tex]

answers

f=1/4=49/8

Step-by-step explanation:

identify the coefficients

a=-2, b=1

substitute the coefficient into the expression

x= -1/((2x(-2))

then solve it out the equation

x=1/4

evaluate the function x =1/4

f(x) =-2x²+x+6(1/4)

f=1/4=49/8

What is the probability of pulling a card from a deck of 52 cards and getting a king and a queen?

Answers

Answer:

4/52 or 1/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of 52 cards, there are 4 suits and each suit has 13 cards.

There are 4 kings, 4 queens, 4 aces, and 4 jacks.

So the probability of drawing a king would be:
4/52 = 1/13

Answer:

The probability of drawing a King is 4/52 or about . 0769, which is also the probability of drawing a Queen. The probability that a card drawn from the deck will be both a King and a Queen is zero. The probability that a card will be either a King or a Queen is 8/52.

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

Step-by-step explanation:

mean value : the sum of the measurements of all 10 plants divided by 10 (the number of measurements).

A)

since the 2 measurement errors are compensating each other in the sum of measurements (-5 cm vs. +5 cm), the sum stays the same, the number of measurements stays the same (10), so the mean value stays the same (72 cm).

B)

the mean absolute deviation was the mean value of the absolute values of the differences of each measurement to the plant measurements.

since the mean value stayed the same, so did the difference of the 8 originally correct measurements to that mean value.

the only change is with the 2 corrected measurements.

the original (but wrong) measurement of 65 had a difference of 7 (to 72).

and now it is only 2 (70 to 72).

and the other one had a difference of 6 (72 to 78).

and now it is only 1 (73 to 72).

so, the sum of all the differences decreased by (7-2) + (6-1) = 5 + 5 = 10.

we had originally a mean absolute deviation of 8.5. the sum of all 10 original differences was therefore 8.5×10 = 85.

now this sum went down to 85-10 = 75.

and the new mean absolute deviation is 75/10 = 7.5.

A bag contains 9 marbles: 2 are green, 3 are red, and 4 are blue. Raina chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, chooses another one at random. What is the probability that both marbles she chooses are red? Write your answel as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:   1/12

=========================================================

Explanation:

There are 3 red out of 9 total

The probability of picking red at random is 3/9 = 1/3

If the first marble is not put back, then the chances of picking red again are now 2/8 = 1/4

Notice how I subtracted 1 from the numerator and denominator of 3/9 to get to 2/8. This is because the red count and the total count both go down by 1 each.

Now multiply the fractions mentioned:

(3/9)*(2/8) = (1/3)*(1/4) = (1*1)/(3*4) = 1/12

If you did this trial 12 times, then you should expect to get two reds about once. That's one way to interpret the probability of 1/12.

Side note: 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33% approximately

Answer:

Area of the paper required =7000 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of an Aquarium:

Length (l) = 80 cm,

Breadth (b) = 30 cm,

Height (h) = 40 cm

/* According to the problem given,

Area of the paper required =

Area of the base + 2×Area of two side faces + Area of the back side

(Front side should be visible,So, it is not covered )

= lb+2×bh+lh

= 80×30+2×(30×40)+80×40

= 2400+2×1200+3200

= 2400+2400+3200

= 7000 cm²

Therefore,

Point B is between A and C. If AB = 3x, BC = 4x-2, and AC = 12, find the length of BC

Answers

Answer:

BC = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

given that B is between A and C , then

AB + BC = AC ( substitute values )

3x + 4x - 2 = 12

7x - 2 = 12 ( add 2 to both sides )

7x = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 2

Then

BC = 4x - 2 = 4(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question, since point B is between Ac

AC = AB + BC

12 = 3X+4X -2

3X+4X-2 = 12

7X = 12+2

7X = 14

dividing bothsides by 7

7X/7 = 14/7

X = 2

the length BC = 4X-2 = 4(2)-2 = 8-2= 6

length of BC = 6

Answers

Answer: Mean: 10.5, Median: 9 Mode: 8 Range: 7

Step-by-step explanation  

mean put the numbers in order, so 8,8,8,10,14,15 the mean is adding all numbers together and dividing by the number so 8 + 8 + 8 + 10 + 14 + 15 divided by 6 is 10.5,

median is middle so 9 since theres two middle numbers u add them both and then divide by 2

mode is the most so its 8 since 8 is there 3 times

range is the highest number and lowest number and u subtract them so 15 - 8 = 7

sorry if this is long but the answers are at the top

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = ( 8 + 10 + 8 + 14 + 8 + 15) /  6

=  10.5.

Arrange in ascending order to find the median:

8 8 8 10 14 15

Median = mean of the middle 2 numbers

= (8 + 10)/2

= 9.

Mode = most occurring number = 8.

Range = greatest - least = 15 - 8 = 7.
