Find the values of k for which the equation (2k-3)x^2-kx+(k-1) has equal roots

We know that an equation has equal roots if the sqrt(b^2-4ac) term in the quadratic equation is equal to zero. Therefore using this information we can form an expression for k to be (-k)^2-4(2k-3)(k-1)=0. Fr...

P(A)=0.2, P(A|B) = 0.3 and P(AuB)=0.6. Find i P(B) ii P(B'|A')

i. P(AuB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB) P(AnB) = P(A|B)P(B) = 0.3P(B) P(AuB) = P(A) + 0.7 P(B) --> 0.6 = 0.2 + 0.7 P(B) --> P(B) = 4/7 ii. P(B'|A') = P(A'nB')/P(A') P(A'nB') = 1 - P(AuB) P(B'|A') = 0.4/0.8 = 1/2

Earth is being added to a pile so that, when the height of the pile is h metres, its volume is V cubic metres, where V = (h6 + 16) 1 2 − 4.Find the value of dV/dh when h = 2.

As V=(h 6 +16) 1/2 -4 , the chain rule can be used to calculate dV/dh. dV/dh=3h 5 (h 6 +16) -1/2 h=2 can be substituted in to find the solution. 3 2 5 (2 6 +16) -1/2 =10.73
