2b = 2
2c = 1
3a = 3
3d = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomial 1: [tex]x^2-8x+15[/tex]
Multiply the leading coefficient, 1, and the last term, 15. You get: 15.
Then, list out the factors of 15 and the addends of -8 until you get two of numbers that are the same:
Factors of 15: -5 * -3
Addends of -8: -5 + -3
Replace the -8x with -5x - 3x:
[tex]x^2-5x-3x+15[/tex]
Put parentheses around the first 2 terms & last 2 terms and factor like so:
[tex](x^2-5x)-(3x+15)[/tex]
[tex]x(x-5)-3(x-5)[/tex]
[tex](x-5)(x-3)[/tex]
Looking at the answer (ax + b)(cx + d), d would correspond with -3.
Polynomial 2: [tex]2x^3-8x^2-24x[/tex]
First factor out the x:
[tex]x(2x^{2}-8x-24)[/tex]
Divide the polynomial inside by 2 and place the 2 outside with the x:
[tex]2x(x^2-4x-12)[/tex]
Then find the factors of 1*-12 and the addends of -4 and see which two numbers match:
Factors of -12: -6 * 2
Addends of -4: -6 + 2
Replace the -8x with -6x + 2x:
[tex]2x(x^2-6x+2x-12)[/tex]
Put parentheses around the first 2 terms & last 2 terms and factor like so:
[tex]2x((x^2-6x)+(2x-12))[/tex]
[tex]2x(x(x-6)+2(x-6))[/tex]
[tex]2x((x+2)(x-6))[/tex]
[tex]2x(x+2)(x-6)[/tex]
Looking at the answer (2x)(ax + b)(cx + d), b & c would correspond with 2 & 1.
Polynomial 3: [tex]6x^2+14x+4[/tex]
Divide the polynomial by 2:
[tex](2)(3x^2+7x+2)[/tex]
Find the factors of 3*2 and the addends of 7 and see which two numbers match:
Factors of 6: 6 * 1
Addends of 7: 6 + 1
Replace the 7x with 6x + x:
[tex](2)(3x^2+6x+x+2)[/tex]
Put parentheses around the first 2 terms & last 2 terms and factor like so:
[tex](2)((3x^2+6x)+(x+2))[/tex]
[tex](2)(3x(x+2)+(x+2))[/tex]
[tex](2)((3x+1)(x+2))[/tex]
[tex](2)(3x+1)(x+2)[/tex]
Then multiply the 2 with the (x+2) and here's your final answer:
[tex](3x+1)(2x+4))[/tex]
Looking at the answer (ax + b)(cx + d), a & d correspond with 3 & 4.

The symbol [tex]\mu[/tex] is the Greek letter mu
The alternate hypothesis is [tex]\mu \ne 39.09[/tex] telling us we have a two-tailed test here. The "not equal" is directly tied to the keyword "different" given in the instructions. In other words, mu being different from 39.09 directly leads to [tex]\mu \ne 39.09[/tex]

Hattie had $3,000 to invest and wants to earn 10.6% interest per year. She will put some of the money into an account that earns 12% per year and the rest into an account that earns 10% per year. How much money should she put into each account?
Answers
Answer:
900 at 12%
2100 at 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= amount invested at 12%
let y= amount invested at 10%
with that being said we can write the two equation
Equation 1: x+y=3000
Equation 2: 3000*.106=.12x+.1y
isolte x from equation 1
x= 3000-y
plug this into equation 2
318=.12(3000-y)+.1y
318=360-.12y+.1y
-42= -.02y
y= 2100
Plug this into equation 1
x+2100=3000
x=900
she should invest $900 into the account earning 12% interest and $2100 into the account earning 10% interest.
How to determine How much money should she put into each accountLet's denote the amount of money Hattie invests at 12% as \(x\) dollars, and the amount she invests at 10% as \(\$3000 - x\) dollars.
The formula for calculating interest is: \(\text{Interest} = \text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}\).
For the 12% account:
Interest_12% = \(x \times 0.12 \times 1\) (1 year)
For the 10% account:
Interest_10% = \((3000 - x) \times 0.10 \times 1\) (1 year)
Hattie wants to earn 10.6% interest on the total investment, so we can set up the equation:
\(\text{Total Interest} = \text{Interest}_12% + \text{Interest}_10%\)
\(3000 \times 0.106 = x \times 0.12 + (3000 - x) \times 0.10\)
Now, solve for \(x\):
\(318 = 0.12x + 300 - 0.10x\)
\(318 = 0.02x + 300\)
\(18 = 0.02x\)
\(x = 900\)
Hattie should invest $900 at 12% and \(3000 - 900 = 2100\) at 10%.
Therefore, she should invest $900 into the account earning 12% interest and $2100 into the account earning 10% interest.

The population of a bacteria colony is growing exponentially, doubling every 6 hours. If there are 150 bacteria currently present, how many (to the nearest ten bacteria) will be present in 10 hours
Answers
Answer:
If rounded to the nearest 10 bacteria, then it would be 500 bacteria.
Step-by-step explanation:
First multiply 150 by two in order to get 300, that leaves 4 hours to figure out. From there you can figure out the rest by seeing that 4 is 2/3 of 6. I converted it into the decimal number .66. Multiply 300 by .66 to get 198 and then add it to 300 to get 498. Then just round it up to the nearest 10 bacteria which leaves you with the final answer of 500 bacteria.
Find functions f(x) and g(x) so the given function can be expressed as
h(x) = f(g(x)).
(Use non-identity functions for
f(x) and g(x).)
h(x) = 5/x-4
Answers
Answer:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{5}{x}[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = x - 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Composite function:
[tex]h(x) = f(g(x)) = (f \circ g)(x)[/tex]
h(x) = 5/x-4
We have x on the denominator and not the numerator, so the outer function is given by:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{5}{x}[/tex]
The denominator is x - 4, so this is the inner function, so:

Optimal-Eats blender has a mean time before failure of 37 months with a standard deviation of 5 months, and the failure times are normally distributed. What should be the warranty period, in months, so that the manufacturer will not have more than 7% of the blenders returned
Answers
Answer:
The warranty period should be of 30 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Optimal-Eats blender has a mean time before failure of 37 months with a standard deviation of 5 months.
This means that [tex]\mu = 37, \sigma = 5[/tex]
What should be the warranty period, in months, so that the manufacturer will not have more than 7% of the blenders returned?
The warranty period should be the 7th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value if 0.07, so X when Z = -1.475.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.475 = \frac{X - 37}{5}[/tex]
[tex]X - 37 = -1.475*5[/tex]
[tex]X = 29.6[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest whole number, 30.
The warranty period should be of 30 months.
A sample of students was asked what political party do they belong. which of the following types of graphical display would be appropriate for the sample?
A. Stemplot.
B. Pie chart.
C. Scatterplot.
D. All of the above.
Answers
Answer:
B. Pie chart.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, the students are asked what political party they belong. The best display format would be one in which the graph can be divided into parts, or percents, according to the percentage of students belonging to each political party. The graph that best describes this, distributing a group into parts, is a pie chart, and thus, the correct answer is given by option b.
Scatterplot is used when two variables correlate together, that is, there is a relationship between them, which we don't have between the number, or proportion of students belonging to each political party. Stemplot are used when there is a high number of quantitative data, which we do not have here.

Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 different ways to do this: calculus and by completing the square. In this particular instance, calculus is WAY easier, and since I don't know for what class you are doing this, I'll do both ways. First the calculus way. We know the position equation, and the first derivative of the position is velocity. We also know that when the velocity is equal to 0 is when the object is at its max height. So we'll find the derivative first, then solve it for t:
If [tex]s(t)=-3t^2+20t+2[/tex] then the first derivative is
v(t) = -6t + 20 Solving for t requires that we set the velocity equal to 0 (again, this is where the object is at its max height), so
0 = -6t + 20 and
-20 = -6t so
t = 3.3 seconds. Now that we know that at 3.3 seconds the object is at its highest point, we sub that time into the position function to see where it is at that time:
s(3.3) = [tex]-3(3.3)^2+20(3.3)+2[/tex] and
s(3.3) = 35.3 meters.
Now onto the more difficult way...completing the square. Begin by setting the position function equal to 0 and then move over the constant to get:
[tex]-3t^2+20t=-2[/tex] Since the leading coefficient is not a 1 (it's a 3), we have to factor out the 3, leaving us with:
[tex]-3(t^2-\frac{20}{3}t)=-2[/tex] Now the rule is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex] and half of that is [tex]\frac{20}{6}[/tex]. Squaring that:
[tex](\frac{20}{6})^2=\frac{400}{36}=\frac{100}{9}[/tex]. We will add that in to both sides. On the left it's easy, but on the right we have to take into account that we still have that -3 sitting out front, refusing to be ignored. So we have to multiply it in when we add it to the right. Doing that gives us:
[tex]-3(t^2-\frac{20}{3}t+\frac{100}{9})=-2-\frac{100}{3}[/tex] We will clean this up a bit now. The reason we do this is because on the left we have created a perfect square binomial which will give us the time we are looking for to answer this question. Simplifying the right and at the same time writing the perfect square binomial gives us:
[tex]-3(t-\frac{20}{6})^2=-\frac{106}{3}[/tex] Now the last step is to move the constant back over and set the quadratic back equal to y:
[tex]y=-3(t-\frac{20}{6})^2+\frac{106}{3}[/tex]. The vertex of this quadratic is
[tex](\frac{20}{6},\frac{106}{3})[/tex] where
[tex]\frac{20}{6}=3.3[/tex] as the time it takes for the ball to reach its max height of
[tex]\frac{106}{3}=35.3[/tex] meters.
I'd say if you plan on taking calculus cuz you're not there yet, you'll see that many of these types of problems become much simpler when you know it!

During the first part of a 6-hour trip, you travel 240 miles at an average speed of r miles per hour. For the next 72 miles of the trip, you
increase your speed by 10 miles per hour. What were
your two average speeds?

Answer:
50 mph for 4.8 hours60 mph for 1.2 hoursStep-by-step explanation:
One way to write the relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...
time = distance/speed
For the first part of the trip, the time is ...
t1 = 240/r
For the second part of the trip, the time is ...
t2 = 72/(r+10)
The total time is 6 hours, so we have ...
t1 +t2 = 6
240/r +72/(r+10) = 6
We can simplify this a bit by multiplying by (r)(r+10)/6 to get ...
40(r+10) +12(r) = r(r+10)
r² -42r -400 = 0 . . . . . . . . subtract the left side and collect terms
(r -50)(r +8) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor
r = 50 . . . . . the positive solution of interest.
The two average speeds were 50 mph and 60 mph.
Consider the function f(x)=x^3-4x^2+2. Calculate the limit of the difference quotient at x0=3 for f(x).

The limit of the difference quotient of the above function [tex]f(x)[/tex] at [tex]x=3[/tex] is [tex]3[/tex] such that [tex]f(x)=x^{3} - 4x^{2} + 2[/tex].
Difference of quotientThe difference quotient of a function [tex]f(x)[/tex] is [tex]\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/tex].
How to evaluate the limit of the function?The given equation is, [tex]f(x)=x^{3} -4x^{2} +2[/tex]
So, [tex]f(x+h)=(x+h)^{3} -4(x+h)^{2} +2= x^{3} +h^{3}+3x^{2} h+3xh^{2} -4x^{2} -4h^{2} -8xh+2[/tex]
Now, [tex]f(x+h)-f(x)[/tex]
[tex]=x^{3}+h^{3}+3x^{2}h+3xh^{2}-4x^{2}-4h^{2}-8xh+2-x^{3}+4x^{2}-2[/tex]
[tex]=h^{3}+3x^{2}h+3xh^{2}-4h^{2}-8xh[/tex]
So, [tex]\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} =\frac{h^{3}+3x^{2}h+3xh^{2} -4h^{2}-8xh }{h}[/tex]
[tex]=h^{2}+3x^{2}+3xh-4h-8x[/tex]
Now, at [tex]x=3[/tex],
[tex]h^{2}+3x^{2}+3xh-4h-8x=h^{2}+27+9h-4h-24=h^{2}+5h+3[/tex]
If [tex]h[/tex]→[tex]0[/tex], the value of [tex]h^{2}+5h+3=3[/tex]
Thus, the limit of the difference quotient of the above function [tex]f(x)[/tex] at [tex]x=3[/tex] is [tex]3[/tex].
