The solutions to the quadratic equation of the sprinkler in the exact form are x = 7 + 2√110 and x = 7 - 2√110

Quadratic equations are second-order polynomial equations and they have the form y = ax^2 + bx + c or y = a(x - h)^2 + k

A quadratic equations can be split to several equations and it can be solved as a whole

In this case, the quadratic equation is given as

-x^2 + 14x + 61 = 0

Using the form of the quadratic equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, we have

a = -1, b = 14 and c = 61

The quadratic equation can be solved using the following formula

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

Substitute the known values of a, b and c in the above equation

x = (-14 ± √(14^2 - 4*-1*61))/2*-1

Evaluate the exponent

x = (-14 ± √(196 - 4*-1*61))/2*-1

Evaluate the products

x = (-14 ± √(196 + 244))/-2

Evaluate the sum

x = (-14 ± √(440))/-2

Express 440 as 4 * 110

x = (-14 ± √(4 * 110))/-2

Take the square root of 4

x = (-14 ± 2√110)/-2

Evaluate the quotient

x = 7 ± 2√110

Split the equation

x = 7 + 2√110 and x = 7 - 2√110

Hence, the solutions to the quadratic equation of the sprinkler in the exact form are x = 7 + 2√110 and x = 7 - 2√110

Using proportions, it is found that out of the next 75 couples asked, 49 will have at least one spouse that prefers action movies.

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

Researching this problem on the internet, it is found that out of 150 couples initially surveyed, 26 + 25 + 12 + 22 + 13 = 98 couples had at least one spouse preferring action movies, hence the proportion is:

p = 98/150 = 0.6533.

Out of the next 75 couples, the amount is:

A = 0.6533 x 75 = 49

Hence, out of the next 75 couples asked, 49 will have at least one spouse that prefers action movies.

She paid a simple interest of $3,125.00 on the borrowing of $25,000

What is simple interest?

The simple interest on a loan or an investment can be determined as the principal multiplied by interest multiplied by the number of periods.

This is quite different from compound interest where the interest earned previously would earn interest in the future alongside the principal

I=PRT

I=interest on loan=unknown

P=amount borrowed=$25,000

R=interest rate=1% per month

By definition, we have

[tex]f(n) = f(n - 1) + f(n - 2)[/tex]

so that by substitution,

[tex]f(n-1) = f(n-2) + f(n-3) \implies f(n) = 2f(n-2) + f(n-3)[/tex]

[tex]f(n-2) = f(n-3) + f(n-4) \implies f(n) = 3f(n-3) + 2f(n-4)[/tex]

[tex]f(n-3) = f(n-4) + f(n-5) \implies f(n) = 5f(n-4) + 3f(n-5)[/tex]

[tex]f(n-4) = f(n-5) + f(n-6) \implies f(n) = 8f(n-5) + 5f(n-6)[/tex]

and so on.

Recall the Fibonacci sequence [tex]F(n)[/tex], whose first several terms for [tex]n\ge1[/tex] are

[tex]\{1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, \ldots\}[/tex]

Let [tex]F_n[/tex] denote the [tex]n[/tex]-th Fibonacci number. Notice that the coefficients in each successive equation form at least a part of this sequence.

[tex]f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2) = F_2f(n-1) + F_1 f(n-2)[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = 2f(n-2) + f(n-3) = F_3 f(n-2) + F_2 f(n-3)[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = 3f(n-3) + 2f(n-4) = F_4 f(n-3) + F_3 f(n-4)[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = 5f(n-4) + 3f(n-5) = F_5 f(n-4) + F_4 f(n-5)[/tex]

I'm not sure if the last two apostrophes are part of the quote - "Solve ... " - or if you mean the second derivative [tex]x''[/tex]. I think you mean the first interpretation, but I'll include both cases since they are both solvable.

If the former is correct, separate variables to solve.

[tex]x' = -9tx \implies \dfrac{dx}{dt} = -9tx \implies \dfrac{dx}x = -9t\,dt[/tex]

Integrate both sides to get

[tex]\ln|x| = -\dfrac92 t^2 + C[/tex]

Solve for [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]e^{\ln|x|} = e^{-9/2\,t^2 + C} \implies \boxed{x = Ce^{-9/2\,t^2}}[/tex]

If you meant the latter, then the ODE can be rewritten as

[tex]9t x'' + x' = 0[/tex]

Reduce the order of the equation by substituting [tex]y(t) = x'(t)[/tex] and [tex]y'(t) = x''(t)[/tex].

[tex]9t y' + y = 0[/tex]

Solve for [tex]y'[/tex] and separate variables.

[tex]y' = -\dfrac y{9t} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dt} = -\dfrac y{9t} \implies \dfrac{dy}y = -\dfrac{dt}{9t}[/tex]

Integrate.

[tex]\ln|y| = -\dfrac19 \ln|t| + C[/tex]

Solve for [tex]y[/tex].

[tex]e^{\ln|y|} = e^{-1/9 \,\ln|t| + C} \implies y = Ct^{-1/9}[/tex]

Solve for [tex]x[/tex] by integrating.

[tex]x' = Ct^{-1/9} \implies x = C_1 t^{8/9} + C_2[/tex]

Using translation concepts, it is found that pi is the phase shift of the graph, and since it is negative, the graph is shifted right pi units.

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

In this problem, the change is given as follows:

x -> x - pi

It means that the change is in the domain, in which pi is the phase shift of the graph, and since it is negative, the graph is shifted right pi units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two ordered pairs (stalks, ounces) and asked for the slope-intercept form equation of the line through them.

The slope of the desired line can be found from the formula ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

For the given points (30, 25) and (32, 24), the slope is ...

  m = (24 -25)/(32 -30) = -1/2

The y-intercept of the desired line can be found from the formula ...

  b = y -mn

  b = 25 -(-1/2)(30) = 25 +15 = 40

The slope-intercept equation of a line is ...

Using a system of equations, it is found that Allison bought 2 bottles of juice and 9 bottles of soda.

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are:

Allison purchased a total of 11 bottles of juice, hence:

x + y = 11 -> x = 11 - y.

These 11 bottles contain 445 grams of sugar, hence, considering the amounts of each bottle, we have that:

20x + 45y = 445

Since x = 11 - y:

20(11 - y) + 45y = 445

25y = 225

y = 225/25

y = 9.

x = 11 - y = 11 - 9 = 2.

The equation of the parabola with the given vertex and directrix in vertex form is y = (1/16)( x + 5 )² - 9.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Given the data in the question;

To find the equation, we use the equation of the parabola that opens up or down since the directrix ( y = -13 ) is vertical.

The equation is expressed as;

( x - h )² = 4p( y - k )

First, we find the distance from the focus to the vertex.

|p| is the distance rom the focus to the vertex and from the vertex to the directrix.

p = -9 + 13

p = 4

We substitute the values into the equation;

( x - h )² = 4p( y - k )

( x - (-5) )² = 4(4)( y - (-9) )

( x + 5 )² = 16( y + 9 )

Multiply both side by 1/16

(1/16)( x + 5 )² =  y + 9

Make y the subject of the formula

(1/16)( x + 5 )² - 9 =  y

y = (1/16)( x + 5 )² - 9

The equation of the parabola with the given vertex and directrix in vertex form is y = (1/16)( x + 5 )² - 9.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Answer:

5,-1  

Step-by-step explanation:

edited.... I gave 1/3   AC  earlier (misread the Q)

   This means AC is divided into fourths

x    from  6 to 2 is -4     1/4th of this added to 6 is

    6 - 1/4 * 4 =   5

y    from 1 to -7  is -8    1/4th of this added to 1 is

                   1 - 1/4 * 8 = -1
