Answers

Answer 1
Answer: When you use a parameter to describe equations then you are talking about Parametric Equations, that is, you can write both x and y as functions of a parameter t. In this problem we have the following equations:

x=2-t \n y=x^(2)+1

So substituting x in y we have:

y=(2-t)^2+1 \n y=4-4t+t^2+1 \n y=t^2-4t+5

So this equation represents a parabola where y is the dependent variable and t is the independent variable. This equation is shown in the figure below, the best statement that describes this curve is:

The curve is a parabola with a vertex at (2,1) and is traced from left to right for increasing values of t. 

Answer 2
Answer:

A curve is described by parametric equations x = 2 - t;

y = x^2 + 1 statement the curve is a parabola with a vertex at (2,1) and is traced from left to right for increasing values of t is the best-described curve.

We use a parameter to describe equations then we are talking about Parametric Equations, that isWe can write both as functions of a parameter.

We have given the parametric equation

x = 2 - t\ny = x^2 + 1

What is the parametric equation?

The parametric equation defines a group of quantities as functions of one or more independent variables called parameters.

So substituting the value of x in y we get,

y=(2-t)^2+1\ny=2^2-4t+t^2+1\ny=4-4t+t^2+1\ny=5-4t+t^2\n

So this equation represents a parabola where y is the dependent variable and t is the independent variable.

This equation is shown in the following figure, the best statement that describes the curve.

Therefore we can say that the curve is a parabola with a vertex at (2,1) and is traced from left to right for increasing values of t.

Answers

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 4i) is a root which means its conjugate (x - 4i) is also a root

(x + 4i)(x - 4i) = x² + 16


Use Long Division for 2x⁵ - 13x⁴ + 22x³ - 187x² - 160x + 336 ÷ x² + 16

            2x³ - 13x² - 10x + 21                              

x² + 16 ) 2x⁵ - 13x⁴ + 22x³ - 187x² - 160x + 336

           - (2x⁵ + 0x⁴ + 32x³)   ↓          ↓         ↓

                       -13x⁴ - 10x³ - 187x²     ↓         ↓

                    - (-13x⁴ +0x³ - 208x²)    ↓         ↓

                                  -10x³ + 21x² - 160x     ↓

                               - (-10x³  + 0x² - 160x)    ↓

                                               21x² + 0x + 336

                                            - (21x² + 0x + 336)

                                                                      0


Use Synthetic Division to divide (x - 7) by the reduced polynomial (2x³ - 13x² - 10x + 21)

7 |  2   -13   -10   21

  |  ↓    14     7   -21        

    2      1     -3     0  ← remainder is 0      


Use grouping to factor the reduced polynomial (2x² + x - 3)  

 2x² - 2x + 3x - 3

= 2x(x - 1) +1(x - 1)

= (2x + 1)(x - 1)  


The factors are: (x - 7) (2x + 1) (x - 1) (x + 4i) (x - 4i)

The first 3 are real roots and the last 2 are complex roots

The zeros of a polynomial function are the factors of the function.

The number of real zeros of f(x) is 3

The function is given as:

f(x) = 2x^5-13x^4+22x^3-187x^2-160x+336

Two of the factors are given as:

x - 7 ad x + 4i

The factor x + 4i is a complex factor.

If a polynomial function has a complex factor, then the conjugate of the complex factor is also a factor of the polynomial.

This means that f(x) has 2 complex factors

The degree of the polynomial is 5.

So, the number (r) of real zeros is the difference between the degree of the polynomial and the number of complex factors.

This gives

r = 5 -2

r = 3

Hence, the number of real zeros of f(x) is 3

what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a faction? 768,480,300,187.5,...

Answers

To determine the common ratio of the geometric sequence, divide the second term with the first term. 480 divided by 768 equals 5/8. Further, the ratio of the third and second terms may be used to check the consistency of the common ratio. The ratio is also 5/8. Thus, the common ratio is 5/8. 

Two planes leave an airport at noon. If the eastbound plane flies at 560 mph and the westbound plane flies at 500 mph, at what time will they be 2,000 miles apart? Round your answer to the nearest minute.

Answers

The two planes are flying in opposite directions.One plane travels at 560miles per hour and the other travels at a speed of 500 miles per hour. As time proceeds, they would travel further from each other and that can be described by the equation that follows:

560(t)+500(t) =2000, since we are given a 2000 distance limit. Then we are to find the time when they are at this distance. Solve for t, which is equal to 0.53 hours or 32 minutes. 

A number is selected at random from the set {2, 3, 4, … 10}. Which event, by definition, covers the entire sample space of this experiment?a. The number is greater than 2.
b. The number is not divisible by 5.
c. The number is even or less than 12.
d. The number is neither prime nor composite.
e. The square root of the number is less than 3.

Answers

let's do process of elimination

a) 2 is part of the set and 2 is not greater than 2. NO

b) 5 and 10 in the set are divisible by 5. NO

c) 2,4,6,8,10 are even but the rest are odd ( BUT note the word "or"). the rest are less than 12. YES

d) 0 and 1 are the only numbers that are neither prime nor composite (they're not even part of the set). NO

e) the square root of 9 is 3 so the maximum number is 9 (but what happened to 10?) NO

For our given sample, the only true statement is:

c. The number is even or less than 12.

Which event, covers the entire sample space of this experiment?

The sample for the experiment is the set:

{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

So, we need to see which ones of the statements are true for every digit in that set.

For example:

a "The number is greater than 2."

Is false, because the outcome can be 2, as 2 belongs to the set.

The true statement is:

c. The number is even or less than 12. (all the numbers are less than 12).

ABCD is a square of side 3, and E and F are the mid points of sides AB and BC respectively. What is the area of the quadrilateral EBFD ?

Answers

Given : - Square ABCD with side 3.  E and F as midpoints.
To find : - area of EBFD

Solution : - We have, area of square ABCD = 3 x 3 = 9 units.

Thus, (ar)EBFD = ar ABCD - ar DAE - arDCF

arDAE = 1/2 x base x height

=1/2 x 1.5 x 3 ( AE is 1/2 of AB = 1.5, DA is altitude)
= 2.25

arDFC = 1/2 x base x height 
= 1/2 x 1.5 x 3 (FC is 1/2 of BC, DC is altitude)
= 2.25

Thus, (ar) EBFD = arABCD - arDAE - arDCF

= 9 - 2.25 - 2.25

= 4.5 units.

Thus, area of quad EBFD is 4.5 units.
