Function f(x) is positive for the values x ≤ -6 and x ≥ -2 and negative in the interval -6 ≤ x ≤ -2.
What is parabola?A parabola is a plane curve that is mirror-symmetrical and roughly U-shaped in mathematics. It fits several seemingly disparate mathematical descriptions, all of which can be shown to define the same curves.
The graph of the function f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 6) is a downward facing parabola that intersects the x-axis at x = -6 and x = -2.
Therefore, we can conclude that the function is negative for all real values of x where x < -6 or x > -2 (outside the x-intercepts).
The function is positive for all real values of x where x lies between the x-intercepts, which means -6 < x < -2.
Therefore, the statement that is true is: "The function is negative for all real values of x where x < -6 or x > -2. The function is positive for all real values of x where -6 < x < -2."

The area of a rectangle is given by the expression 2x^3+5x^2-2x+3 . If the length of the rectangle is given by the expression x + 3, find the expression that represents the width
Answer:
2x^2 - x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
This is polynomial long division:
Divide x + 3 into 2x^3 + 5X^2 - 2x + 3:
Divide 2x^3 by x = 2x^2
Multiple 2x^2 by (x + 3) = 2x^3 + 6x^2
Subtract that from 2x^3 + 5X^2 - 2x + 3 = -x^2 -2x + 3
Divide -x^2 by x = -x
Multiple -x by (x + 3) = -x^2 - 3x
Subtract that from -x^2 - 2x + 3 = x + 3
Divide x by x = 1
Multiple 1 by (x + 3) = x + 3
Subtract from x + 3 = 0
Simplify each expression.

Sergei runs a bakery. He needs at least 175 kilograms of flour in total to complete the holiday orders he's received. He only has 34 kilograms of flour, so he needs to buy more. The flour he likes comes in bags that each contain 23 kilograms of flour. He wants to buy the smallest number of bags as possible and get the amount of flour he needs. Let F represent the number of bags of flour that Sergei buys.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
34+23F=175
23F=175-34=141
F=141/23≈6.13
so he buys more 7 bags
Using proportions, it is found that Sergei needs to buy 7 bags.

Pentagon A’B′C′D′E’, is the image of pentagon ABCDE under a dilation with a scale factor of 5/2
Answer:
The length of segment A'E' is 5 units
Explanation:
From the included graph the coordinates of the points A and E, in the pentagon ABCDE with reference to point A are;
A- (0, 0)
E- (0, 2)
The length of the segment AE = √((2-0)² + (0 - 0)²) = √2² = 2
When a pentagon ABCDE is dilated to pentagon A'B'C'D'E' with a scale factor of 5/2, we have;
Length of segment A'E' = 5/2 × Length of segment AE
Therefore;
Length of segment A'E' = 5/2 ×2 = 5 units.
The length of segment A'E' is 5 units.
This question is based on distance formula.The length of segment A'E' is 5 units.
Given:
Pentagon A’B′C′D′E’, is the image of pentagon ABCDE under a dilation with a scale factor of 5/2.
From the given graph, the coordinates of the points A and E, in the pentagon ABCDE with reference to point A are;
A- (0, 0)
E- (0, 2)
The length of the segment AE = [tex]\sqrt{(2-0)^{2} +(0-0)^{2} }=\sqrt{2^{2} } =2[/tex]
When a pentagon ABCDE is dilated to pentagon A'B'C'D'E' with a scale factor of 5/2, we have;
Length of segment A'E' = 5/2 × Length of segment AE

ii. What percentage of the students speaks Ewe?
iii. What is the modal language?
iv. What fractions of the students speak either Ga or Fante
Answer:27.78% ; Twi; 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data :
Language - - - - - - - Number of students
Nzema - - - - - - - - - - - 5
Ga - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 20
Twi - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 30
Ewe - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25
Fante - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10
1.) To prepare pie chart:
Total number of students :
(5 + 20 + 30 + 25 + 10) = 90 students
Nzema: (5/90) × 360 = 20
Ga : (20/90) × 360 = 79.99 = 80
Twi : (30/90) × 360 = 119.99 = 120
Ewe : (25/90) × 360 = 79.99 = 100
Fante : (10/90) × 360 = 39.99 = 40
Total = 360
Pie chart is attached in the picture below
2)Percentage students that speak Ewe = (25/90) * 100 = 27.78%
Or (100/360) * 100 = 27.78%
3.) Modal language : This is the language spoken by majority of the students = Twi
4.) Fraction of student that speak either GA or Fante :
(GA or Fante) = (20 + 10) / 90 = 30/90 = 1/3

. A car bought for $20,000. Its value depreciates by 10% each year for 3 years. What is the car's worth after3 years?
Answer:
$14,580
Step-by-step explanation:
To start off, 10% of 20,000-one easy way to do this is to multiply 20,000 by 0.1, which is 10% in decimal form
-In doing that, you get 2,000
-Now the question says that the value is depreciated which means it goes down in value, so subtract 2,000 from 20,000 to 18,000
-the value of the car after one year is now $18,000
Now, let's move to the second year. This time find 10% of 18,000
-multiply 18,000 by 0.1 to get 1,800
-since the value is depreciating, or becoming less, we will subtract 1,800 from 18,000 to get 16,200
-the value of the car after two years is now $16,200
Finally, let's look at the value of the car after three years. Only this time, we will now find 10% of 16,200
-multiply 16,200 by 0.1 to get 1,620
-since value is being depreciated, or lessened, we will once again be subtracting. Subtract 1,620 from 16,200 to get 14,580
Therefore, the value of the car after three years is now $14,580.
Two 6-sided dice are rolled. What is the probability the sum of the two numbers on the die will be 3?
Answer as a fraction = 1/18
Answer in decimal form (approximate) = 0.0556
Answer in percent form (approximate) = 5.56%
========================================================
Explanation:
We have 6*6 = 36 ways to roll out two dice. I recommend making a chart to show all the possible outcomes. You can search online for a "dice chart" or "sum of dice chart" and one will be made for you. The chart is a handy reference to see all the outcomes.
Of those 36 total outcomes, only 2 outcomes have the dice add to 3. Those two outcomes are 1+2 and 2+1.
So the number of events we want is 2 out of 36 total, meaning 2/36 = 1/18 is the probability.
Using your calculator, you should find that 1/18 = 0.0556 approximately, which converts over to 5.56% roughly.
The probability the sum of the two numbers on the die will be 3 is 5.56% roughly.
What is the probability?Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.
The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.
Two 6-sided dice are rolled. We need to find the probability the sum of the two numbers on the die will be 3.
We have 6 x 6 = 36 ways to roll out two dice.
Out of those 36 total outcomes, only 2 outcomes have the dice add to 3.
Those two outcomes are 1+2 and 2+1.
Thus, the number of events we want is 2 out of 36 total,
2/36 = 1/18 is the probability.
1/18 = 0.0556 approximately, which converts over to 5.56% roughly.
Therefore, the probability the sum of the two numbers on the die will be 3 is 5.56% roughly.

There are 6 different colored pens in a box. Each pen has a unique color. In how many orders can 4 pens be chosen? In other words, what is the number of permutations of picking 4 pens from the box?
Answer:
360 different permutations.
Step-by-step explanation:
It goes 6*5*4*3 because as you pick the pens the amount of pens in the jar would obviously decrease. Picking one leaves you with 5 new options. If you repeat that 4 times then you are left with 360 options.
The number of permutations of picking 4 pens from the box is 6P4, or 6!/(6-4)! = 654×3 = 360.
We have 6 pens and we are picking 4 of them. The order in which we pick the pens matters, so we are dealing with permutations.
The number of permutations of n objects is given by n!, or n factorial. So, the number of permutations of 6 objects is 6!.
However, we need to divide by the number of permutations of the 2 pens that we are not picking. There are 2 pens that we are not picking, so the number of permutations of those pens is 2!.
Therefore, the number of permutations of picking 4 pens from the box is 6!/(6-4)! = 654×3 = 360.

We multiply the diameter by π to get the circumference. Multiplying both these numbers by π will give the ratio of the circumferences. In order to reduce the ratio to lowest terms we must divide by π again:
dia ratio = circumference ratio = lowest terms ratio
1 : 2 = π : 2π = 1 : 2
Answer: 1:2
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles ABC and EDC are outlined on a bridge. The triangles share vertex C and angles D and B are right angles. A new bridge structure requires triangles that are in a ratio of 1:1. If AC = 5x − 5 and EC = 3x + 9, find the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet.
CHECK THE ATTACHED FIQURE FOR THE BRIDGE
Answer:
60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we know that triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 with this given ratio it implies that
triangles ABC and EDC are congruent then we can say
side EC = side AC
3x + 9 = 5x - 5
Then we can simplify to know value of x
3x + 14= 5x
2x = 14
x = 7
But we know that AC= 5x - 5 , then substitute value of x into it
AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5
= 35 - 5
AC= 30 ft
Also EC= 3x + 9 then substitute value of x into it
EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9
= 21 + 9
EC= 30 ft
Then the the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet, = EC+AC
= 30 + 30 = 60 ft
Answer:
60 ft

A researcher wishes to conduct a study of the color preferences of new car buyers. Suppose that 40% of this population prefers the color red. If 14 buyers are randomly selected, what is the probability that exactly 2 buyers would prefer red
Answer:
The probability that exactly 2 buyers would prefer red car is 0.0317.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of buyers would prefer red car.
The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.40.
A random sample of n = 14 buyers are selected.
The event of a buyer preferring a red car is independent of the other buyers.
The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 14 and p = 0.40.
The probability mass function of X is:
[tex]P(X=x)={14\choose x}(0.40)^{x}(1-0.40)^{14-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]
Compute the probability that exactly 2 buyers would prefer red car as follows:
[tex]P(X=2)={14\choose 2}(0.40)^{2}(1-0.40)^{14-2}[/tex]
[tex]=91\times 0.16\times 0.0021768\\=0.031694208\\\approx 0.0317[/tex]
Thus, the probability that exactly 2 buyers would prefer red car is 0.0317.
