could some one please help with question 9b and 11 - 1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 9b. a^4 +2a^2-8=0
factorise
(a^2 + 4)(a^2 - 2)=0
we then get two answers from the brackets
a^2=-4
a= sqrt(-4) or 2j
and the second bracket gives us a^2=2
a= sqrt(2)

11. First expand the brackets.
Ax^3 + Bx^2 - x^2 + Bx +Cx + D
then equate the coefficients, this basically means put all the x^3, x^2 etc values together.
so Ax^3=3x^3 so we know that A=3Then put the x^2 together, so Bx^2-x^2=-x^2 and rearranging this gives B=0
Next we do Bx+Cx = 2x and we know that B is 0 so we can get rid of it and know that C = 2.
finally we can see that D = -7

The midpoint of AB = ([?],[ ])

Answers

Answer:

midpoint of AB = (-1/2 , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-2 , 1) = (x1 , y1)

B(1 , -1) = (x2 , y2)

midpoint formula:

=(x1 + x2/2 , y1 + y2/2)

=(-2 + 1/2 , 1 + (-1)/2)

=(-1/2 , 0/2)

(-1/2 , 0)

As viewed from a cliff 340 feet above sea level, a ship is 450 feet from the shore. What is the angle of depression from the cliff to the ship on the water below?

Answers

the angle of depression is equal to angle of elevation at ship
let m be the angle
tan m=340/450=0.76
therefore m=37.073 degrees

in a survey if 27.5 percent of those questioned chose swimming as their favorite. If 11 people chose swimming then how many people were surveyed

Answers

27.5% of x=11     x is the number of people  27.5%=.275     x=11/.275=40 people in the survey participated 

Final answer:

To determine the total number of people surveyed when given the number who preferred swimming and the percentage they represent, you set up an equation based on the percentage and then solve for the total. With this data, 40 people were surveyed.

Explanation:

The question pertains to the mathematical concept of percentages. You mention that 27.5 percent of the surveyed population favored swimming and this equaled to 11 people. To calculate the total number of people surveyed, we let the total number be 'x'. Therefore, the mathematical equation, based on the provided data, becomes 27.5% of 'x' = 11. In mathematical terms, it can be written as 0.275x = 11. For finding 'x', divide both sides of the equation by 0.275. Thus 'x' = 11 / 0.275 = 40. Therefore, based on the given percentages and data, it's inferred that a total of 40 people were surveyed.

Find the eccentricity of 8x^2 + 6y^2 - 32x + 24y + 8 = 0

Answers

1) 
x 2 + y 2 - 10x - 8y + 1 = 0. 
(x^2-10x+25-25) +(y^2-8y+16-16) + 1 = 0 
(x-5)^2 -25 + (y-4)^2 -16 + 1 = 0 
(x-5)^2+(y-4)^2 = 40 

center (5,4); radius = sqrt(40) 

2) 
8x^2+ 6y 2 - 32x + 24y + 8 = 0. 
8(x^2-4x+4-4) +6(y^2+4y+4-4) +8=0 
8(x-2)^2 -32 + 6(y+2)^2 -24 + 8 = 0 
8(x-2)^2+6(y+2)^2 = 48 
divide throughout by 48 
(x-2)^2 /6 + (y+2)^2 /8 = 1 

Ellipse with center (2,-2) 
a=sqrt(6) 
b=sqrt(8) 
c^2= 8-6 = 2 
c= sqrt(2) 
eccentricity = c/a = sqrt(2)/sqrt(6) 

3) 
y=x^2-12x+36-36 
y=(x-6)^2 - 36 
Vertex is (6,-36) 

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k) 
(x-6)^2 = 4p(y+36) 
4p=1 
p=1/4 
focus : (h, k+p) = (6, -36+1/4) = (6, -143/4) 

4) 
focus lies on a vertical line, so the major axis is parallel to the y-axis 
(x-h)^2/a^2 +(y-b)^2/b^2 = 1 
h=-2 
k=0 
(x+2)^2/a^2+y^2/b^2 = 1 
2b=20 
b=10 
b^2=100 
(x+2)^2/a^2 +y^2/100 = 1 


e=c/a 
c/a = 4/5 
c=(4/5) a 
c^2 = 16/25 a^2 
c^2 = b^2-a^2 
(16/25) a^2 = 100 - a^2 
a^2(16/25+1) = 100 
41a^2/25 = 100 
a^2=2500/41 
a= sqrt(2500/41) 

(x+2)^2/a^2 +y^2/100 = 1 
(x+2)^2 /[2500/41] + y^2/100 = 1

A Middle Eastern restaurant recorded the number of times 2 dinner appetizers, hummus and baba ghanoush, were ordered every day for 1 month. The restaurant calculated the mean number of times each appetizer was ordered and the MAD (mean absolute deviation) for each appetizer. | Appetizer | Orders sold |
Mean | MAD
---------------------------
Hummus 24.3 | 3.1
Baba ghanoush 11.5 | 2.9






Which statement best describes the overlap in the distribution of the two data sets?

A.
The overlap is high because both means are greater than either MAD.

B.
The overlap is high because the sum of the means is large compared to the MAD.

C.
The overlap is low because the difference in the MADs is small.

D.
The overlap is low because the difference in the means is large compared to either MAD.

Answers

The best answer to the question that is being presented above would be letter c. As indicated with the given data above, the overlap is low because the difference in the MADs is small. It shows only a .2 difference between the MADs given above in the problem.
