2question: 1) find the value of q, for which the difference between the roots in the equation x^2−10x+q=0 is equal to 6. 2) one of the roots of the equation 5x2−12x+c=0 is three times as big as the other root. find the value of c.

Aheated piece of metal cools according to the function c(x) = (.5)x ? 7, where x is measured in hours. a device is added that aids in cooling according to the function h(x) = ? x ? 2. what will be the temperature of the metal after two hours?

The diagram represents the polynomial 4x2 + 23x – 72. what is the factored form of 4x2 + 23x – 72? (4x + 8)(x – 9) (4x – 8)(x + 9) (4x + 9)(x – 8) (4x – 9)(x + 8)

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), a subject is told that cards only the experimenter can see contain either a star, a circle, a wave, or a square. as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. a subject who is just guessing has probability 0.25 of guessing correctly on each card. a. the count of correct guesses in 20 cards has a binomial distribution. what are n and p? b. what is the mean number of correct guesses in 20 cards for subjects who are just guessing? c. what is the probability of exactly 5 correct guesses in 20 cards if a subject is just guessing?
