Answers

Answer 1

Based on the report that digital music had led to a global revenue of $6.85 billion, the option that describes the accuracy of this report is that B. The report is probably accurate because the number is not very specific.

Why might the report be accurate?

Digital music revenue recognition might vary from country to country. This means that what constitutes revenue for one country, might not be revenue in another. For that reason, we cannot say that businesses measure revenue accurately.

The report can however be very accurate even if it isn't completely accurate. This shown by the number not being specific to the last cent.

Yuto left his house at 10 a.m. to go for a bike ride. By the time Yuto’s sister Riko left their house, Yuto was already 5.25 miles along the path they both took. If Yuto’s average speed was 0.25 miles per minute and Riko’s average speed was 0.35 miles per minute, over what time period in minutes, t, starting from when Riko left the house, will Riko be behind her brother?

Answers

The time period that Riko would be behind is going to be the inequality 0 ≤ t < 52.5 minutes .

How to solve the inequality

How to solve for the period t that Riko would be behind her brother

The question says that at the time he left the house, Yuto was 5.25 miles ahead of her.

The amount of miles that she would have gained on Yuto within this period would be 0.35 - 0.25 = 0.1 miles on Yuto

Therefore at every mile she would be closing in on 0.1 miles

For her to close the gap that is made here, it would be 5.25 / 0.1

= 52.5 minutes

Therefore we would say that The time that Riko would be behind is going to be  0 ≤ t < 52.5 minutes .

Use the quadratic formula to solve: 3x² + 4x + 2 = 0.

What is the value of the discriminant?
What does this tell you about the solutions to the equation?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}i\\\\x=-\frac{2}{3}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}i[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quadratic Formula gives us the roots of a quadratic and is defined as: [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

The discriminant is the part in the square root which is: [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex]

if the discriminant of the quadratic is zero, then the quadratic only has one distinct zero with a multiplicity of 2.

To see why, let's plug in zero for the discriminant: [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{0}}{2a}[/tex]

The square root of zero is just going to be zero: [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm0}{2a}[/tex]

Adding or subtracting zero doesn't change the value: [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

As you can see here it doesn't matter if we take the positive or negative solution, we'll get one value.

If the discriminant of the quadratic is positive, then the quadratic will have two distinct real solutions.

Well the solutions are real because the square root has real solutions for positive numbers. The reason we have two distinct solutions is because the square root of a positive number will have a positive and negative solution. These square roots will have a non-zero value and will affect the value of the numerator based on whether you take the negative or positive solution giving you two distinct solutions.

If the discriminant of the quadratic is negative, then the quadratic will have two distinct complex solutions.

To clarify, real numbers are technically complex numbers, since complex numbers are just: [tex]a+bi[/tex], where a=real part, and b=imaginary part. We could use this to represent any real number where b=0.

So when I'm saying "complex solution" I mean a complex solution where b does not equal zero, so there is a non-zero imaginary component to the complex solution.

The reason we have a complex solution in the first place is because we have a negative number in the square root. The square root only has real solutions for positive numbers, since any real number squared will give you a positive number regardless of the sign (positive or negative). The only number that is negative when squared is an imaginary number.

The reason we have two distinct solutions is actually the same reason we have two distinct solutions when the discriminant is positive. Since the square root will yield a non-zero number, so when we add it or subtract it to b, we will get to different values for the numerator, giving us two different values, or two different solutions.

So now let's solve the equation: [tex]3x^2+4x+2=0[/tex]

We have it in standard form where: [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

we want to use the Quadratic Formula: [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Plugging in values we get:

[tex]a=3,\ b=4,\ c=2\\\\x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(3)(2)}}{2(3)}\\\\x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16-24}}{6}\\\\x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{-8}}{6}[/tex]

From here you'll notice the discriminant is -8, and thus we complex solutions since it's negative. We can first break up this square root into multiple square roots using the fact that: [tex]\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}*\sqrt{b}[/tex]

and since -8 can be defined as: -1 * 8, we can split it up like this

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{-1}*\sqrt{8}}{6}\\\\x=\frac{-4\pm i\sqrt{8}}{6}[/tex]

We can actually simplify the square root a bit more, since we can once more use the identity: [tex]\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}*\sqrt{b}[/tex], to simplify the radical. The number 8 can be represented as 4 * 2, and sqrt(4) can be simplified easily.

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm i *\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{2}}{6}\\\\x=\frac{-4\pm 2i\sqrt{2}}{6}\\\\x=\frac{(-2 * 2)\pm2i\sqrt{2}}{(3*2)}\\\\x=\frac{-2\pm i\sqrt{2}}{3}[/tex]

Now let's take the positive and negative solution to get the two distinct complex solutions. You can start with either but I'll just do the positive first.

Positive Solution:

[tex]x=\frac{-2+ i\sqrt{2}}{3}[/tex]

You could leave it like this, but generally whenever we have a complex number we want it in the form: [tex]a+bi[/tex] where the real and imaginary part are separate, so we can just distribute the division of 3

Positive Solution Continued:

[tex]x=\frac{-2+ i\sqrt{2}}{3}\\\\x=\frac{-2}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}i[/tex]

I also moved the "i" outside the fraction, so it's a bit easier to see the value of "b"

Negative Solution:

[tex]x=\frac{-2-i\sqrt{2}}{3}\\\\x=\frac{-2}{3}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}i[/tex]

We know,

Total peanuts already in the mixture = 18 x [tex]\frac{62}{100}[/tex] = 11.16 kg

The  new mixture contains 52% peanuts, then, [tex]\frac{x_{peanuts} }{x_{total} }[/tex] = 0.52.

Furthermore, 40% must be added.

[tex]x_{peanuts}[/tex] = [tex]0.4x[/tex] + [tex]11.16[/tex]

This gives us the following equation,

What is a reflection transformation?

A reflection transformation is one in which the line across which the object is reflected acts like a mirror, such that the points are swapped across the line of reflection.

The coordinates of the vertices of the triangle on the coordinate grid are;

(2, -2), (4, -2), and (2, -6)

Required; The coordinates of a reflection of the shape (the triangle)

Solution; The coordinates of a point (x, y) following a reflection across the y–axis is (-x, y)

The vertices of the image of the triangle following a reflection across the y–axis are therefore;

(2, -2) → (-2, -2)(4, -2) → (-4, -2)(2, -6) → (-2, -6)

A reflection of the point (x, y) across the x–axis gives the point (x, -y)

A reflection of the triangle across the x–axis therefore gives;

(2, -2) → (2, 2)(4, -2) → (4, 2)(2, -6) → (2, 6)

A reflection of the point (x, y) across the line y = x, gives (y, x)

The vertices of the triangle following a reflection across the line y = x are therefore;

(2, -2) → (-2, 2)(4, -2) → (-2, 4)(2, -6) → (-6, 2)

A reflection of the point (x, y) across the line y = -x, gives (-y, -x)

The vertices of the triangle following a reflection across the line y = -x are therefore;

(2, -2) → (2, -2)(4, -2) → (2, -4)(2, -6) → (6, -2)

The coordinates of the triangle in the options are;

a) (2, 2), (4, 2), (2, 6)

b) (-2, -2), (-4, -2), (-4, -6)

c) (2, 2), (2, 4), (6, 2)

d) (-2, -4), (-6, -4), (-6, -2)

The correct option is therefore option a with points on the image of the triangle of (2, 2), (4, 2), (2, 6) which corresponds with the coordinates of the triangle following a reflection across the x–axis

The equation of the line parallel to 2x + 3y = 18 and passing through point ( 6, 4) is 3y + 2x = 24.

Consider the line 2x + 3y = 18,

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line.

Therefore,

2x + 3y = 18

Subtracting 2x from each side

2x + 3y - 2x = 18 - 2x

3y = 18 - 2x

Dividing each side by 3.

y = 6 - ( 2/3 )x

y = - (2/3)x + 6

Hence, the slope of the line is - 2/3.

Now, if two lines are parallel then they have the same slope.

Now, the line parallel to 2x + 3y = 18 passes through ( 6,4).

Therefore, using the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

4 = ( -2/3 ) × 6 + b

4 = - 4 + b

b = 8

Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to 2x + 3y = 18 is:

y = ( - 2/3 )x + 8

3y = - 2x + 24

3y + 2x = 24
