Complete the square to rewrite the quadratic:

2 x² + 3 x + 5 = 2 (x² + 3/2 x) + 5

... = 2 (x² + 3/2 x + 9/16 - 9/16) + 5

... = 2 (x² + 3/2 x + (3/4)²) + 5 - 9/8

... = 2 (x + 3/4)² + 31/8

Any real number squared becomes non-negative, so the quadratic expression has a minimum value of 31/8, which is greater than 0, and so there are no (real) x for which y = 0.

Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing the leg, if the hypotenuse is 12 inches and the other leg is 7 inches

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Adjacent = 9.75 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Hypothenus = 12 inches

Opposite = 7 inches

To find the other leg i.e adjacent, we would use Pythagorean' theorem given by the formula;

Hypothenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

12² = 7² + adjacent²

144 = 49 + adjacent²

Adjacent² = 144 - 49

Adjacent² = 95

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Adjacent = 9.75 inches.

Therefore, the other leg is 9.75 inches.

PLEASE HELP ME :( God bless.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

x - 99 ≤ -104 → 2nd line

x - 51 ≤ -43 → 1st line

150 + x ≤ 144 → 4th line

75 < 69 - x → 3rd line

Step-by-step explanation:

Ugh! Wow, this is going to be tedious, thanks alot, bro (jk, I got your back).

x - 99 ≤ -104

+ 99 + 99

x ≤ -5

There should be a line going from -5 to negative infinity (AKA the left) with a FILLED circle. So, the second one is correct.

x - 51 ≤ -43

+ 51 + 51

x ≤ 8

There should be an arrow with a FILLED circle going to negative infinity (AKA the left). So, the first one is correct.

I'm going to take a shortcut and notice that one of the lines has a filled circle while the other one has an empty circle. So the empty circle must relate to the question without a ≤ or ≥, but with a < or >. We see that 75 < 69 doesn't have ≤ or ≥ but a '<.' So this one must have the empty circle, which is on line 3. The last equation has to be on line 4.

Heights of 10-year-olds, regardless of gender, closely follow a normal distribution with a mean of 55 inches and a standard devi

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Heights of 10-year-olds, regardless of gender, closely follow a normal distribution with a mean of 55 inches and a standard deviation of 6 inches.

If X is height then X is N(55,6)

Z score would be $\frac{x-55}{6}$
