[tex]\left(0,1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^3 + 4x^2 - 5x < 0[/tex]

In this inequality, luckly we can easily factor it.

[tex]x^3 + 4x^2 - 5x[/tex]

[tex]x(x^2+4x-5)[/tex]

[tex]x(x-1)(x+5)[/tex]

So we have

[tex]x(x-1)(x+5)<0[/tex]

In exercises of this kind I usually do in my mind, but just to make it clear, let's do a table to organize. This table represents the x-intercepts in order to evaluate the inequality.

Consider [tex]x(x-1)(x+5)=0[/tex]. Here, those are the possible values for [tex]x[/tex] for each factor to be 0:

The first step to complete the table is the x value where the factor will be equal to zero.

[tex]x+5[/tex]                      0

Then, just consider the signal:

Raina, Justin, and cho have $79 in their wallets. Raina has $5 leas than Justin. Cho has 2 times what Justin has. How much does each have?

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent everybody with variables. Raina is R, Justin is J, and Cho is C. Let's write down this information as a system of equations.

R+J+C=79            (they all have 79 total dollars in their wallets combined)

R=J-5                    (Raina has five less than Justin.)

C= 2J                        (Cho has twice that of Justin)

Since we know what R and C equal, we can plug in their values in terms of J into the first equation to solve for J.

J-5+J+2J=79

We combine like terms.

4J-5=79

We add 5 to both sides.

4J=84

We divide both sides by 4.

J=21

This means that Justin has $21. If Raina has 5 less, she has $16 and since Cho has twice that of Justin he has $42. These added up equal 79.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width. The area is 744 square centimeters. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

the width of the rectangle is 24 centimeters and the length is 31 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write an equation for this, but let's just recall that the area of a rectangle is equal to the length times the width. A=L×W.

A is the area

L is the length

W is the width.

So, for our equation we can start out by putting that 744= ? times ?.

So, we are given that the length is 7 more than the width. We are going to have to translate that to represent the length.

We need a variable. Let's use the letter "W," the width of the rectangle.

W=W.

The length is 7 more than the width, so it is L=W+7.

Length represents the W+7

Width represents W.

Now, we can complete our equation.

744=W(W+7).

Simplify the expression.

744=[tex]W^{2}[/tex]+7W.

Alright, you may be thinking on how we are going to solve this problem. This equation correlates with quadratic functions.

Let's complete the square.

In a quadratic function, the standard from is y=[tex]ax^{2} +bx+c[/tex].

We need to find the c value.

We can do this by applying a formula. The formula states that c= b/2 and the whole thing squared. In other words, [tex](\frac{b}{2} )^{2}[/tex].

In this case, the b value is 7.

square 7, which is 49 and square 2 which is 4.

Now, the c value is 49/4.

We have now just created a perfect square trinomial.

Not only do we add 49/4 to W squared plus 7W, we also add 49/4 to 744.

744 plus 49/4 is 756/25.

Now, we have [tex]W^{2}+7w+\frac{49}{4} = 756.25[/tex]

Change W squared plus 7w plus 49/4 to a binomial squared.

Just take the square root of the a value, W, and 49/4 for c. the square root of W squared is W. the square root of 49/4 is 7/2.

Those values are to the power of 2.

In other words, [tex](W+\frac{7}{2})^{2} =756.25[/tex]

To isolate for W, take the square root of both sides.The square root of W plus 7/2 squared is just W+7/2. The square root of 756.25 is 27.5

There are two solutions for W because square roots be positive or negative, but we are dealing with positive since negative doesn't make sense with the context of the problem.

We have [tex]W+3.5 or \frac{7}{2}=27.5[/tex]

Isolate for W by subtracting both sides by 3.5 You get to W=24.

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 24 centimeters.

Alright, we found the width. We now need to find the length. The problem stated that the rectangle was 7 more than the width. So, 24+7=31. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 31 centimeters.

L=31cm

W=24cm.

Answer:

y=10000 at rate 0.12 or 12%

x=8500 at rate 0.14 0r 14 %

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=18500   ⇒ x=18500-y

0.14x+0.12y=2390 ( solve by substitution)

0.14(18500-y)+0.12y=2390

2590-0.14y+0.12y=2390

-0.02y=2390-2590

-0.02y=-200

y=-200/0.02

y=10000 at rate 0.12

x=18500-y

x=18500-10000=8500

x=8500 at rate 0.14

check : 0.14(8500)+0.12(10000)=2390 ( correct)

Answer:

Amount invested at 14% = 8500

Amount invested at 12% =  10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume money was invested for one year.

18500 at 14% = 18500*0.14 = 2590

18500 at 12% = 18500*0.12 = 2220

actual interest earned = 2390

Let

x = ratio of money invested at 14%

1-x = ratio of money invested at 12%

Then

18500*x * 0.14 + 18500 * (1-x)*0.12 = 2390

0.14x - 0.12x = 2390/18500-0.12

0.02x = 0.1291892-0.12 = 0.0091892

x = 0.0091892/0.02 = 0.4594595

Amount invested in 14% = 18500 * x = 8500

Amount invested in 12% = 18500 * (1-x) = 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

The third degree Taylor polynomial for the cosine function centered at [tex]a = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex] is:

[tex]\cos x \approx -\left(x-\frac{\pi}{2} \right)+\frac{1}{6}\cdot \left(x-\frac{\pi}{2} \right)^{3}[/tex]

The value of 86º in radians is:

[tex]86^{\circ} = \frac{43}{90}\pi\,rad[/tex]

Then, the cosine of 86º is:

[tex]\cos 86^{\circ} \approx -\left(\frac{43}{90}\pi-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\frac{1}{6}\cdot \left(\frac{43}{90}\pi-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{3}[/tex]

[tex]\cos 86^{\circ} \approx 0.06976[/tex]

Answer : We expect most of the sampled heights to fall within 9.8 inches of their least squares predicted values.

Step-by-step explanation:

standard deviation is the statistical measurement of the level at which a dataset disperses from its mean value

interpreting the standard deviation in this problem ,

given that the standard deviation is 4.9 inches, it simply means that the dataset heights will be either +4.9 inches or -4.9 inches away from the mean value. this means that most of the sampled Dad/'s height will fall within 9.8 inches of their least squares predicted values

How does the frequency of f(x) = cos(2x) relate to the frequency of the parent function cos x?

Answers

Answer:

The frequency of f(x) is two times the frequency of the parent function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that the number that is beside the x is equal to [tex]2\pi *f[/tex], where f is the frequency.

Then, for the parent function, we get:

[tex]1 = 2\pi f_1[/tex]

or solving for [tex]f_1[/tex]:

[tex]f_1=\frac{1}{2\pi }[/tex]

At the same way, for f(x), we get:

But [tex]\frac{1}{2\pi }[/tex] is equal to [tex]f_1[/tex], so we can write the last equation as:

It means that the frequency of f(x) is two times the frequency of the parent function.

5.-10. 20.-40.... determine if arithmetic,geometrical or neither​

Answers

Answer:

It is a geometrical progression

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric progressions have a constant number that they are multiplied by

To find that number you divide the 2nd term by the 1st term and also the 4th term by the 3rd term. ie,

[tex]\frac{-40}{20} = \frac{-10}{5} \\[/tex]

[tex]-2 = -2[/tex]

since they are both equal it is a G.P

Because they have a constant ratio.

Answer:

Geometric progression.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose you mean this equation:

5, -10, 20, -40, ...

For a geometric progression, an n^th term is given by:

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{n - 1}[/tex] × r

Where a is the first time, n is the term and r is the common ratio.

The common ratio here is -2 .

For instance to check the forth term;

[tex]a_{4}[/tex] = [tex]5_{4 - 1}[/tex] × -2  = 20 × -2 = -40

The school district uses the Hamilton method to apportion its 22 board members to the 4 towns. How many board members are assigned to each town, using this method? 2. The following year, 900 people move out of Town D. Two hundred of these people move Town C, and 700 of them move to Town B. Now, how many board members does each town have? (Be careful. Make sure you assign a total of 22 board members). 3. Compare the results from the 2 years. Do you think they make sense? How do you think each town would react? Are they fair? Why or Why not?

Answers

Answer:

(A, B, C, D) = (2, 2, 6, 12)(A, B, C, D) = (2, 2, 6, 12)identical results; yes, they make senseyes they are fair

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Hamilton method has you compute the number represented by each board member (total population/# members). Using this factor, the number of board members for each district are computed. This raw value is rounded down.

Because this total does not allocate all board members, the remaining members of the board are allocated to the districts based on the size of the fraction that was truncated when rounding down. Allocations start with the largest fraction and work down until all board members have been allocated.

The attached spreadsheet implements this algorithm using a "threshold" that is adjusted to a value between 0 and 1, signifying the cutoff point between a fraction value that gets an additional member and one that doesn't. (Often, that threshold can be set at 0.5, equivalent to rounding the raw board member value to the nearest integer.)

The resulting allocations are ...

  Town A: 2

  Town B: 2

  Town C: 6

  Town D: 12

__

2. The second attachment shows the result after the population move. The allocations of board members are identical.

__

3. The "factor" (persons per board member) is about 4500, so we don't expect a move of 900 people to make any difference in the allocation. These results make complete sense.

__

4. Of course each town will consider its own interest at the expense of everyone else, so they may or may not consider the results fair. The towns have population ratio of about 9 : 9 : 25 : 56, so the ratios 2 : 2 : 6 : 12 are quite in line. Even in the second year, when the ratios are closer to 9 : 10 : 26 : 56, the changes are small enough that the allocation of board members still makes sense. The results are fair.

_____

Comment on "fair"

The reason there are different methods of allocation is that each seeks to rectify some perceived flaw in one or more of the others. The reason there is not a general agreement on the method to be used is that some benefit more from one method than from another. "Fair" is in the eye of the beholder. I believe in this case it would be very difficult to justify any other allocations than the ones computed here.
