If the zeros of f(x) are x=-1 and x=2, then the zeros of f(x/2) are
A. -1, 2
B. -1/2, 5/2
C. -3/2, 3/2
D. -1/2, 1
E. -2/4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

E. -2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the zeroes of a function are given as [tex]\alpha, \beta[/tex], then the function can be written as:

[tex](x-\alpha)(x-\beta) = 0[/tex]

Here, we are given that zeros of [tex]f(x)[/tex] are x=-1 and x=2.

As per above, we can write the function [tex]f(x)[/tex] as:

[tex](x- (-1))(x-2) = 0\\\Rightarrow (x+1)(x-2)=0[/tex]

So, [tex]f(x) =(x+1) (x-2)[/tex]

To find:

Zeroes of [tex]f(\frac{x}2)[/tex].

Solution:

We have found that [tex]f(x) =(x+1) (x-2)[/tex]

Replacing [tex]x[/tex] with [tex]\frac{x}2[/tex]:

[tex]f(\frac{x}2) =(\frac{x}2+1) (\frac{x}2-2)[/tex]

Now, Let us put it equal to 0 to find the zeroes.

[tex]f(\frac{x}2) =(\frac{x}2+1) (\frac{x}2-2) = 0\\\Rightarrow (\frac{x}2+1) = 0 \ OR\ (\frac{x}2-2) =0\\\Rightarrow \frac{x}{2} = -1\ OR\ \frac{x}{2}=2\\\Rightarrow \bold{x =-2, 4}[/tex]

So, the zeroes are -2, 4.

Nandini makes 'halwa' one evening and divides it into four equal portions for her family of four. However, just as they are about to eat it, an unexpected guest arrives and Nandini has to now re-divide the halwa into five equal portions. By what percentage has each family member's share reduced due to this? A. 5% B. 10% C. 20% D. 25%

Answers

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

Answers

Answer:

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

In option A, the answer is "- 357.14 miles per hour".  

In option B, the answer is "-0.98".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} =- 300 \text{ miles per hour}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} =- 400 \text{ miles per hour}[/tex]

find:

[tex]\frac{ds}{dt} =?[/tex] when

[tex]x= 150 \\y= 200\\s=x+y\\\\[/tex]

  [tex]= 150+200 \\\\=350[/tex]

[tex]\to s^2=x^2+y^2\\[/tex]

differentiate the above value:

[tex]\to 2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x \frac{dx}{dt}+2y \frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\to 2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2(x \frac{dx}{dt}+y \frac{dy}{dt})\\\\\to \frac{ds}{dt}= \frac{(x \frac{dx}{dt}+y \frac{dy}{dt})}{s}\\\\[/tex]

        [tex]= \frac{(150 \times -300 +200 \times -400 )}{350}\\\\= \frac{-45000+ (-80000) }{350}\\\\= \frac{- 125000 }{350}\\\\= - 357.14 \ \text{miles per hour}[/tex]

In option B:

[tex]\to d=rt\\\\ \to t= \frac{d}{r}[/tex]

[tex]\to \ \ d= 350 \ \ \ \ \ \ r= -357.14\\[/tex]

[tex]\to t= - \frac{350}{357.14}\\\\\to t= - 0.98[/tex]

Is f(x) =(x+5)2 a function, an odd function, both or neither

Answers

Answer: Neither even, nor odd

Explanation:

f(x) = (x+5)^2 = x^2+10x+25 = x^2+10x^1+25x^0

The exponents for that last expression are 2, 1, 0

The mix of even and odd exponents in the standard form means f(x) is neither even nor odd. We would need to have all exponents even to have f(x) even, or have all exponents odd to have f(x) be odd.

Answers

Answer:

-2 <= x <= 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

it is the same as for equations.

the solution for a square equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

our parameters here are

a = 3

b = 5

c = -2

so,

x = (-5 ± sqrt(25 - -24))/6 = (-5 ± sqrt(49))/6 = (-5 ± 7)/6

x1 = (-5 + 7)/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

x2 = (-5 - 7)/6 = -12/6 = -2

since we are looking for smaller or equal, points of 0 will be part of the solution.

now we need to check each side of these points on the x-axis, if they are true or not to the inequality.

left of -2 : let's pick -3

3×(-3)² + 5×-3 -2 = 3×9 - 15 - 2 = 27 - 15 -2 = 10

this is NOT <= 0, so this interval does not fit.

similar, right of 1/3 : let's pick 1

3×1² + 5×1 - 2 = 3 + 5 - 2 = 6

this is NOT <= 0, so this interval does not fit either (as expected, as normally either both sides fit, or both fail).

lastly, in the middle between -2 and 1/3 : let's pick 0

3×0² + 5×0 - 2 = -2

this IS <= 0, so the interval between -2 and 1/3 fits.

Some time ago , Keith's height and his nephew's height were at a ratio of 15:7. Then, Keiths height increased by 16% and his nephew,s height doubled. Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew, what is their total current height

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Keith's height and his nephew's height is 15:7. Let keith height be x cm and his nephews height be y cm.

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{15}{7} \\x=\frac{15}{7}y[/tex]

Keiths height increased by 16% , therefore Keith new height is (100% + 16%) × x = 1.16x

The nephew height is doubled, therefore his new height is 2y.

Given that Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew

1.16x = 2y + 34

but x = (15/7)y

[tex]1.16(\frac{15}{7} )y=2y+34\\\\\frac{87}{35} y=2y+34\\\\\frac{87}{35} y-2y=34\\\\\frac{17}{35}y=34\\ \\y=\frac{34*35}{17}\\ \\y=70\ cm[/tex]

The nephews new height = 2y = 2(70) = 140 cm

Keith new height = 2y + 34 = 140 + 34 = 174 cm

Their total current height = 140 cm + 174 cm = 314 cm

a positive number is 7 times another number if 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number what are the numbers​

Answers

Answer:

7 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

A positive number is 7 times another number:

a = 7b

If 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number:

a+3 = 5/2 × (b +3)

To solve this we substitute a with 7b in the second equation:

7b + 3 = 5/2 × (b +3)               ⇒ multiplying both sides by 214b + 6 = 5b + 15                    ⇒ collecting like terms14b - 5b = 15 - 69b = 9b = 1                                        ⇒ solved for b

Then, finding a:

a= 7ba=7*1a= 7                                        ⇒ solved for a

So the numbers are 7 and 1

If sin∅+cos∅ = 1 , find sin∅.cos∅.​

Answers

Answer:  0

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

Explanation:

The original equation is in the form a+b = 1, where

a = sin(theta)

b = cos(theta)

Square both sides of a+b = 1 to get

(a+b)^2 = 1^2

a^2+2ab+b^2 = 1

(a^2+b^2)+2ab = 1

From here notice that a^2+b^2 is sin^2+cos^2 = 1, which is the pythagorean trig identity. So we go from (a^2+b^2)+2ab = 1 to 1+2ab = 1 to 2ab = 0 to ab = 0

Therefore,

sin(theta)*cos(theta) = 0

Answer:

sin ∅ cos ∅ = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

(sin∅+cos∅)^2 = 1^2 = 1

(sin∅+cos∅)^2  = sin^2∅ + cos^2∅ + 2sin ∅ cos ∅ = 1

But  sin^2∅ + cos^2∅ = 1, so:  

2sin ∅ cos ∅ + 1 = 1

2 sin ∅ cos ∅ = 1 - 1 = 0

sin ∅ cos ∅ = 0.

The total distance around the running track is 194.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the distance around the running track.

We have two semi-circles of diameter 30m and two parallel straight lines of length 50m

Firstly let’s add the parallel straight lines, we have 50 + 50 = 100 m

Now these two semicircles when joined together gives a full circle. And since they are of same diameter, by calculating the circumference of the full circle, we can have the length around the two bends

Mathematically, that would be; πd

The circumference is thus; 22/7 * 30 = 94.29 m

Thus, the length of the running track will be 100 + 94.3m = 194.3m

Problem 2) Runner B has the smallest period

Problem 3) The sound propagates faster via a solid than via air, then the sound of the train will arrive faster via the rails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of the football player is 160 heartbeats per minute.

The period is (using the equation you showed above):

[tex]Period = \frac{1}{frequency} = \frac{1}{160} \,minutes= 0.00625\,\,minutes = 0.375\,\,seconds[/tex]

second problem:

Runner A does 200 loops in 60 minutes so his frequency is:

[tex]\frac{200}{60} = \frac{10}{3} \approx 3.33[/tex]   loops per minute

then the period is: 0.3 minutes (does one loop in 0.3 minutes)

the other runner does 200 loops in 65 minutes, so his frequency is:

[tex]\frac{200}{65} = \frac{40}{13} \approx 3.08[/tex]   loops per minute

then the period is:

[tex]\frac{13}{40} =0.325\,\,\,minutes[/tex]

Therefore runner B has the smaller period
