Answer:
x= -5, -1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the zeroes of a function,
First expand the terms to get the form [tex]ax^{2} + bx +c[/tex] where 'a, b, and c' are constants
[tex]f(x)= (x+3)^{2} -4[/tex]
[tex]f(x)= x^{2}+6x+9-4[/tex]
[tex]f(x)= x^{2} +6x +5[/tex]
Now, factor the equation
This can be done using the quadratic formula or other methods
One simple method is to find the two values that would get:
A sum that's equal to the 'b' value and,A product that's equal to the 'c' valueA good way to verify is to expand the terms and make sure the function looks the same
In this case, the equation can broken into
f(x)= (x+1)*(x+5)
Now, look at each term individually and set each of them to equal 0
x+1 =0
x+5=0
Solve for x in each case
x= -1
x= -5
Now, ordering them from least to greatest would be: x= -5, -1
In the United States, the mean age of men when they marry for the first time follows the normal distribution with a mean of 24.7 years. The standard deviation of the distribution is 2.8 years. For a random sample of 60 men, what is the likelihood that the age when they were first married is less than 25.2 years
Answer:
The likelihood is [tex]P(X < 25.2) = 0.91668[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 24.7 \ years[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 2.8 \ years[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 60 \ men[/tex]
The consider random value is x = 25.2 years
Given that mean age is normally distributed, the likelihood that the age when they were first married is less than x is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X < x) = P( \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x }} < \frac{x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x }} )[/tex]
Generally [tex]\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma_{\= x}} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < x) = P(Z< \frac{x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x }} )[/tex]
Where [tex]\sigma_{\= x }[/tex] is the standard error of the sample mean which mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{ 2.8 }{\sqrt{ 60 } }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 0.3615[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 25.2) = P(Z< \frac{ 25.2 - 24.7 }{0.3615} )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 25.2) = P(Z< 1.3831 )[/tex]
From z-table the value for P(Z< 1.3831 ) is [tex]P(Z < 1.3831 ) = 0.91668[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 25.2) = 0.91668[/tex]
Given that (-7,-7) is on the graph of f(x), find the corresponding point for the function f(x-5)
Answer: (-2,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
A function f(x-c) , where c>0 , represents the horizontal shift of original function to the right c units.
The function f(x-c) is going to add c to the x value, while keeping the y value the same.
Similarly,
The function f(x-5) is going to add 5 to the x value, while keeping the y value the same.
So, the corresponding point to (-7,-7) on f(x-5) = (-7+5,-7)
= (-2,-7)
hence, the corresponding point to (-7,-7) on f(x-5) = (-2,-7)
Rafael made 20,000 in taxable income last year. Suppose the income tax rate is 15% for the first 8000 plus 17% for the amount over 8000. How much must Rafael pay in income tax for the last year?
The answer is 3,240
Explanation:
To calculate the total income tax, it is necessary to calculate what is the 15% of 8000, and 17% for the remaining money, which is 12.000 (20,000 - 8,000= 12,000). Considering the statement specifies the 15% is paid for the first 8,000 and from this, the 17% is paid. Now to know the percentages you can use a simple rule of three, by considering 8000 and 12000 as the 100%. The process is shown below:
1. Write the values
[tex]8000 = 100[/tex]
[tex]x = 15[/tex] (the percentage you want to know)
2. Use cross multiplication
[tex]x =\frac{8000 x 15 }{100}[/tex]
[tex]x = 1200[/tex]
This means for the first 8000 the money Rafael needs to pay is 1,200
Now, let's repeat the process for the remaining money (12,000)
[tex]12000 = 100\\\\[/tex]
[tex]x = 17[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{12000 x 17}{100}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2040[/tex]
Finally, add the two values [tex]1200 + 2040 = 3240[/tex]
The temperature, T^0Celcius, of an object, t minutes after it is removed from a head source, is given byT=55e^((-0.1t) )+15. Find the temperature of the object at the instant it is removed from the heat source.
Answer:
60°C
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a great example of a problem that looks really complicated, but can be broken down and easily understood!
First, we want to know the temperature the instant it is removed from the heat source. In that case, the time that has elapsed after it has been removed is 0, so we're looking for:
[tex]T(0)=55e^{-0.1(0))}+15=55e^{0}+15[/tex]
Now, any number raised to to the power of zero is 1, so this becomes:
[tex]T(0)=55(1)+15=60[/tex]
For more information on why any number raised to the zero power is 1, I highly recommend researching if it interests you. One of the most intuitive ways is to think of the pattern of exponents:
[tex]3^{3}=3*3*3=27[/tex]
[tex]3^{2}=3*3=9[/tex]
[tex]3^{1}=3[/tex]
You might notice that with each decrease in power, it can be read as dividing the expression by three, so following that pattern gives:
[tex]3^{0}=\frac{3}{3}=1[/tex]
And if we follow the division pattern, we do end up going into negative exponents correctly:
[tex]3^{-1}=\frac{1}{3^{1}}[/tex]
[tex]3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3^{2}}=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
[tex]3^{-3}=\frac{1}{3^3}=\frac{1}{27}[/tex]
PLEASE HELP QUICK!!! In how many ways can you put seven marbles in different colors into two jars? Note that the jars may be empty.
Answer: 14384 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
With 0 identical marbles permitted to be included in any of the jars, An expression can be developed to determine the total of marbles in jar arrangements, which is:
E = [(n+j -1)!]*{1/[(j-1)!]*[(n)!]}, where n = number of identical balls and j =number of distinct jars, the contents of all of which must sum to n for each marbles in j jars arrangement. With n = 7 and j = 4. E = 10!/(3!)(7!) = 120= number of ways 7 identical marbles can be distributed to 4 distinct jars such that up to 3 boxes may be empty and the maximum to any box is 7 balls.
The marble arrangements are: (7,0,0,0) in 4!/3! = 4 ways, (6,1,0,0) in 4!/2! = 12 ways, (5,2,0,0) in 4!/2! = 12 ways, (5,1,1,0) in 4!/2! = 12 ways, (4,3,0,0) in 4!/2! = 12 ways, (4,2,1,0) in 4! = 24 ways, (4,1,1,1) in 4!/3! = 4 ways, (3,3,1,0) in 4!/2! = 12 ways, (3,2,2,0) in 4!/2! = 12 ways, (3,2,1,1) in 4!/2! = 12 ways, (2,2,2,1) in 4!/3! = 4 ways.
Total of ways = 4+12+12+12+12+24+4+12+12+12+4 = 120 as previously determined above for identical marbles and distinct jars.
Taking into account distinct colored marbles, the number of ways of marble distribution into 4 jars becomes as follows:
For (7,0,0,0) = 4*(7!/7!) =4. For (6,1,0,0) = 12*[7!/(6!)(1!)] = 84. For (5,2,0,0) =
12*[7!/(5!)(2!)] = 252. For (5,1,1,0) = 12*[7!/(5!)(1!)(1!)] = 504. For (4,3,0,0) =
12*[7!/(4!)(3!)] = 420. for (4,2,1,0) = 24*[7!/(4!)(2!)(1!)] = 2,520. For (4,1,1,1) =
4*7!/(4!)(1!)(1!)(1!)] = 840. For (3,3,1,0) = 12*]7!/(3!)(3!)(1!) = 1,680. For (3,2,20) = 12*]7!/(3!)(2!)(2!) = 2,520. For (3,2,1,1) = 12*]7!/(3!)(2!)(1!)(1!) = 5,040. For (2,2,2,1) = 4*]7!/(2!)(2!)(2!)(1!) = 2,520.
Total of ways as requested for distinct colored marbles and distinct jars = 4+84+252+504+420+2,520+840+1,680+2,520+5,040+2,520 = 14,384.
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. About how many miles does light travel in an hour? 5.2 × 10^1 miles 3.1 × 10^3 miles 1.1 × 10^7 miles 6.7 × 10^8 miles
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that light travels 186,000 miles per second. How many miles is this per minute. Well, there are 60 seconds a minute, so we multiply by 60!
186,000×60=11160000
And there are 60 minutes in an hour, so we multiply by sixty again!
11160000×60=669600000
Now, we need to write this in scientific notation. To do this, we move the decimal back enough places to have a one digit number, and we multiply that one digit number by 10 to the power of how many places you moved the decimal back.
In the number 669600000 we can move the decimal point back 8 times which gives us 6.696 (we don't need the zeroes after a decimal) multiplied by 10 to the 8th power because we moved the decimal back eight places.
This can be written as 6.696×10^8, which is closest to the answer option 6.7×10^8 miles.

You will note the wheel has 38 slots. There are two green slots (labeled
0,00) and 36 slots which alternate red/black and are numbered 01-36. A
player participates by tossing a small ball around the wheel as the wheel
spins, and the ball lands in one of the 38 slots. The goal is for the ball to
land in a slot that the player predicted it would, and bet money on
happening. Define the following events:
E = The ball lands in an even numbered slot
M = The ball lands in a slot that is numbered a multiple of three (3,6,9,
12, etc...)
Use the given information to calculate the conditional probability M|E.
Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
~0.3158
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of even numbers in the range of 1 - 38 is 38/2 = 19
=> P(E) = 19/38 = 1/2
Having: 38 = 3 x 12 + 2, then the number of numbers that is a multiple of 3 in the range of 1 - 38 is 12
=> P(M) = 12/38 = 6/19
Having: 38 = 6 x 6 + 2, then the number of numbers that is a multiple of 6 (or multiple of 2 and 3) is 6
=> P(E and M) = 6/38 = 3/19
Applying the conditional probability formula:
P(M|E) = P(E and M)/P(E) = (3/19)/(1/2) = 6/19 = ~0.3158
how could you correctly rewrite the equation 4(5+3)=2(22-6) using the distributive property?
We can correctly rewrite the equation: 4(5+3) = 2(22-6) by distributing each side.
4(5+3) = 2(22-6)
4(8) = 2(16)
32 = 32
Once you finish distributing each side, you can check to see if it is equal on both sides.
In our case it is since they both equal 32 after distributing the terms.
A deck of cards contains RED cards numbered 1,2,3, BLUE cards numbered 1,2,3,4, and GREEN cards numbered 1,2. If a single card is picked at random, what is the probability that the card is BLUE OR has an ODD number?
Answer:
7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
P(blue or odd) = P(blue) + P(odd) − P(blue and odd)
P(blue or odd) = 4/9 + 5/9 − 2/9
P(blue or odd) = 7/9
Alternatively:
P(blue or odd) = 1 − P(not blue and not odd)
P(blue or odd) = 1 − 2/9
P(blue or odd) = 7/9

David says he has 2/3 of a pipe length left, while Don says he has 11/16 of a length left. Which person has the longest section left?
Answer:
Don
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We make the fractions have common denominators so it is easier to compare them. We can do this buy multiplying 2/3 by a factor of 16, so it becomes 32/48. For 11/16, we multiply by a factor of 3 so it becomes 33/48. It is now apparent that Don has the longer pipe.
Don has the longest section of pipe because the fraction number 11/16 is greater than the fraction number 2/3.
What is Algebra?Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.
The decimal number is the sum of a whole number and part of a fraction number. The fraction number is greater than zero but less than one.
David says he has 2/3 of a line length left, while Wear says he has 11/16 of a length left.
Convert the fraction numbers 2/3 and 11/16 into the decimal number. Then we have
2/3 = 0.6667
11/16 = 0.6875
The decimal number 0.6875 is greater than 0.6667. Then the fraction number 11/16 is greater than the fraction number 2/3.
Don has the longest section of pipe because the fraction number 11/16 is greater than the fraction number 2/3.

Based on past experience, it is estimated that a restaurant will serve 122 guests on a weekday evening. This is an example of which type of probability
Answer: Experimental probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
This starts as "based on past experience."
So we can suppose that this estimation is obtained by looking at the mean of the number of guests on the past N weekday evenings. (With N a large number, as larger is N, more data points we have, and a better estimation can be made)
Then, this would be an experimental probability, because it is obtained by repeating an experiment (counting the number of guests on weekday evenings) and using that information to make an estimation.
Dr. Denscombe randomly assigned 10 participants to drink a caffeinated beverage and another 10 participants to drink a noncaffeinated beverage. He then recorded their average driving speed over a 10-minute period. Caffeinated drivers averaged 50 mph with a variance of 20 and noncaffeinated drivers averaged 30 mph with a variance of 20. What is t
Answer: t = 10
Step-by-step explanation:m
Given that; n₁ = 10, n₂ = 10
ж₁ = 50, ж₂ = 30
Sˣ₁ = 20, Sˣ₂ = 20
Now using TEST STATISTICS
t = (ж₁ - ж₂) / √ ( Sˣ₁/n₁ + Sˣ₂/n₂ )
so we substitute our figures
t = ( 50 - 30 ) / √ ( 20/10 + 20/10 )
t = 20 / √4
t = 10

[tex]1 - P(J) = 1- 0.40 = 0.60[/tex]
According to Bayer's theorem the probability a randomly chosen business customer flying with Global is on a jumbo jet is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(J|B) = \frac{P(J) * P(B|J)}{P(J ) * P(B|J) + P(Or ) * P(B|Or)}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(J|B) = \frac{ 0.4 * 0.25}{0.4 * 0.25 + 0.6 * 0.3}[/tex]
[tex]P(J|B) = 0.36[/tex]

9 squared is 3.
Find the solution to the system of equations.
Answer:
x = - 4, y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
- 7x - 2y = 14 → (1)
6x + 6y = 18 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term
- 21x - 6y = 42 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
- 15x = 60 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = - 4
Substitute x = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y
Substituting into (2)
6(- 4) + 6y = 18
- 24 + 6y = 18 ( add 24 to both sides )
6y = 42 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = 7
You are selling your product at a three-day event. Each day, there is a 60% chance that you will make money. What is the probability that you will make money on the first two days and lose money on the third day
Answer:
The required probability = 0.144
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the probability of making money is 60%, then the probability of losing money will be 100-60% = 40%
Now the probability we want to calculate is the probability of making money in the first two days and losing money on the third day.
That would be;
P(making money) * P(making money) * P(losing money)
Kindly recollect;
P(making money) = 60% = 60/100 = 0.6
P(losing money) = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4
The probability we want to calculate is thus;
0.6 * 0.6 * 0.4 = 0.144
Player A finished first in a tournament at a golf club with a score of −9, or nine strokes under par. Tied for 46th place was player B, with a score of +9, or 9 strokes over par. What was the difference in scores between Player A and Player B?
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
since you want the difference in scores, you want to take the absolute value of the difference
9 - (-9) = 9+9 = 18
The difference in scores between Player A and Player B is 18.
How do we calculate the difference?The difference between two numbers is found by subtracting the smaller number from the greater number.
How do we solve the given question?We are informed that Player A finished first in a tournament at a golf club with a score of −9 or nine strokes under par. Tied for 46th place was player B, with a score of +9, or 9 strokes over par.
We are asked for the difference in scores between Player A and Player B.
The score of Player A = -9.
The score of Player B = 9
Since Player B's score > Player A's score,
To calculate the difference in their scores, we subtract player A's score from player B's score.
∴ Difference = 9 - (-9)
or, Difference = 9 + 9
Difference = 18.
∴ The difference in scores between Player A and Player B is 18.

During the second week of the sale, the same CDs will be on sale for 25% off the original price. What is the price of a CD during the second week of the sale?What is this rate expressed as a percent? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. During the second week of the sale, the same CDs will be on sale for 25% off the original price. What is the price of a CD during the second week of the sale?
Answer:
The Hudson Record Store
1. As a fraction, discount rate = $3/$18 = 0.167
2. As a percentage, discount rate = 16.67%
3. Selling price during 2nd week = $13.50
4. The rate of the new selling price to the old is $13.50/$18 = 75%
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling price of CDs = $18
1st Week, sold CDs at $15
Discount = $3 ($18 - $15)
As a fraction, discount rate = $3/$18 = 0.167
As a percentage, discount rate = 16.67%
2nd Week, sold CDs at $13.50 ($18 - (25% of $18))
Discount = $4.50 ($18 - $13.50)
Price during the second week of the sale = $13.50
The rate of discount = $4.50/$18 = 25%
