Answer:
C. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When the coefficients of the standard-form quadratic are a, b, and c, the equation of the line of symmetry is ...
x = -b/(2a)
Solving for 'a', we find ...
a = -b/(2x)
For the given values b=-8 and x=2, the value of 'a' is ...
a = -(-8)/(2·2) = 8/4 = 2

In a class of 26 students, 11 are female and 10 have an A in the class. There are 2 students who are female and have an A in the class. What is the probability that a student is a female given that they have an A?
Answers
The probability that a student is a female given that they have an A is 0.2
How to determine the probability?The given parameters are:
Female = 11
A= 10
Female and A = 2
The probability is calculated using:
P(Female given A) = P(female and A)/P(A)
This gives
P(Female given A) = 2/10

Find the indicated term of each sequence by repeatedly multiplying the first term by the common ratio.
Enter your answer to 5 decimal places if necessary. Use a calculator.
A
-50, 35, -24.5,..;5th term
The 5th term of the sequence is 70
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term here is -50 and the common ratio is 0.70. Note that the second term is 0.70(50) = 35.
The formula a(n) = a(0)*r^(n -1) becomes a(n) = -50*0.70^(n -1), and so
the 5th term is a(5) = -50*0.70^4 = -12.005
The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 1300 voters in the town and found that 45% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 42%. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answers
Answer:
The value of the test statistic is t = 2.19.
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Our test statistic is:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the expected mean, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
Sample of 1300 voters:
This means that [tex]n = 1300[/tex]
Found that 45% of the residents favored construction.
This means that [tex]X = 0.45[/tex]
A political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 42%.
This means that [tex]\mu = 0.42[/tex], and by the Central Limit Theorem:
[tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = s = \sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{1300}} = 0.0137[/tex]
So, the test statistic is:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{0.45 - 0.42}{0.0137}[/tex]
[tex]t = 2.19[/tex]
The value of the test statistic is t = 2.19.

mr chowdhary purchased a house for rs 6.1 lakh and spent 30000 on its repairs. he then sold it rs 8 lakh. find his gain percent
Answers
Given:
Purchasing price = 6.1 lakh
Amount spent of repair = 30000
Selling price = 8 lakh
To find:
The gain percentage.
Solution:
We have,
Purchasing price = 6.1 lakh
Amount spent of repair = 30000 = 0.3 lakh
So, total cost price is
[tex]C.P.=6.1+0.3[/tex]
[tex]C.P.=6.4[/tex]
The total cost price is 6.4.
Selling price(S.P.) = 8 lakh
Now,
[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{S.P.-C.P.}{C.P.}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{8.0-6.4}{6.4}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{1.6}{6.4}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]Gain\%=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]Gain\%=25\%[/tex]
Therefore, the gain percent is 25%.
On your wedding day you leave for the church 30 minutes before the ceremony is scheduled to start. The church is only 10 miles away, but you have to make an unanticipated stop for construction work on the road. As a result, your average speed for the first 15 minutes is only 5 miles per hour. What average speed do you need to go for the rest of the trip to get to the church on time
Answers
Answer:
You need to have an average speed of at least 35 miles per hour for the rest of the trip to get to the church on time
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the following relation to solve the question:
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
In which v is the velocity, d is the distance, and t is the time.
First 15 minutes:
Time of 15 minutes = 0.25 hour, so [tex]t = 0.25[/tex]
Velocity of 5 miles per hour. So the distance is of:
[tex]d = vt = 5*0.25 = 1.25[/tex]
Final 15 minutes:
The will need to drive 10 - 1.25 = 8.75 miles in 15 minutes = 0.25 hours. So, the average speed will need to be of at least:
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{8.75}{0.25} = 35[/tex]
You need to have an average speed of at least 35 miles per hour for the rest of the trip to get to the church on time

An aircraft seam requires 20 rivets. The seam will have to be reworked if any of these rivets is defective. Suppose rivets are defective independently of one another, each with the same probability. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) If 16% of all seams need reworking, what is the probability that a rivet is defective
Answers
Answer:
probability that a rivet is defective is 0.00868
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
rivets = 20
all seam need reworking P = 16% = 0.16
solution
we consider here probability of a defective rivet = p
and 0.16 = P [Seam needs reworking) = P (at least one rivet in the seam is defective)
so that for non-defective = 1 - P [all the rivets are non-defective]
and that will be here as = 1 - P [rivet 1 is non-defective, rivet 2 is non-defective, rivet 3 is non-defective,...............,rivet 20 is non-defective]
= [tex]1 - (p})^{20}[/tex] ....................1
so
1-0.16 = [tex]1 - (p})^{20}[/tex]
0.84 = [tex]1 - (p})^{20}[/tex]
[tex]0.84^{\frac{1}{20}}[/tex] = 1 - p
solve it we get
p = 0.00868
so, probability that a rivet is defective is 0.00868

Find the perimeter and total area of the composite shape shown below. All measurements are given in inches. Use pi equals 3.14 in any formulas used
Answers
Answer:
Perimeter = 65.12 in
Area = 292.48 in^2
which agrees with the second answer choice
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is going to be the addition of the sides of the rectangle external to the composite figure ( 12 + 16 + 12 = 40) PLUS the length of half of the circumference or radius 8 inches (which is pi * radius = 3.14 * 8 = 25.12 in)
Then the total perimeter is:
Perimeter = 40 in + 25.12 in = 65.12 in
The are is going to be the area of the rectangle (12 * 16 = 192 square inches) PLUS the area of the semicircle of radius 8 in (pi *radius^2 /2 = 100.48 square inches).
Therefore the total area is:
Area = 192 + 100.48 = 292.48 in^2
(a) What is wrong with the following equation? x2 + x − 42 x − 6 = x + 7 (x − 6)(x + 7) ≠ x2 + x − 42 The left-hand side is not defined for x = 0, but the right-hand side is. The left-hand side is not defined for x = 6, but the right-hand side is. None of these — the equation is correct. (b) In view of part (a), explain why the equation lim x → 6 x2 + x − 42 x − 6 = lim x → 6 (x + 7) is correct. Since x2 + x − 42 x − 6 and x + 7 are both continuous, the equation follows. Since the equation holds for all x ≠ 6, it follows that both sides of the equation approach the same limit as x → 6. This equation follows from the fact that the equation in part (a) is correct. None of these — the equation is not correct.
Answers
Answer:
Attached please find answer
Step-by-step explanation:
= (x² + x - 42) / (x - 6)
= [x² + (7x - 6x) - 42] / (x - 6)
= [x² + 7x - 6x - 42] / (x - 6)
= [(x² + 7x) - (6x + 42)] / (x - 6)
= [x(x + 7) - 6(x + 7)] / (x - 6)
= [(x + 7)(x - 6)] / (x - 6)
= x + 7 → when x approches 6
= 6 + 7
= 13
Other method:
Lim (x² + x - 42) / (x - 6)
x→ 6
When x → 6, there is an indeterminate expression because: 6 - 6 = 0
Do you know the l'Hôpital's rule, when x → a:
Lim [ f(x) / g(x) ] = Lim [ f'(x) / g'(x) ]
f(x) = x² + x - 42
f'(x) = 2x + 1
g(x) = x - 6
g'(x) = 1
= f'(x) / g'(x)
= (2x + 1)/1
= 2x + 1 → when x approches 6
= 12 + 1
= 13

Amon the following situation 2 cases follow the general rule for basis of inherited property
Given , Statements of inheritance.
1. Louis died on August 12. 2019 leaving his house to his sister, Etty.
This is a case of inheritance of property as it justifies conditions of the definition of Inheritance of Property i.e Louis died and as a consequence his property is transferred to his sister which is her relative as per law. So, this is a valid case of inheritance. Even a person can transfer his property to some unrelated person, if he so mentions in his will.2. On August 15, 2018, Leroy give his brother Ralph appreciated stock. Leroy's brother died on February 16, 2019, Ralph's only heir was Leroy.
In this case, transfer of stock from Leroy to Ralph is outside the definition of inheritance, since Leroy was not died at that time. On second instance, when stock was transferred to Leroy after Ralph death in February 2019. It is a case of inheritance but it is the case of inheritance of stock, not inheritance of property. Stock of a company is not considered a property.3.Mick died on June 30, 2019. He named his brother Emmett as the beneficiary of his 401(k) plan.
A 401(k) plan is a retirement savings account that allows an employee to divert a portion of his or her salary into long-term investments. The employer may match the employee's contribution up to a limit.This is also a case of inheritance but not the case of inheritence of property.
