Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this so as to streamline both the vertex and finding the zeros is to complete the square. That method will provide us with the vertex, and then we can continue on to factor from that form to find the zeros. Completing the square requires us to set the quadratic equal to 0 then move over the constant, giving us

[tex]-x^2+18x=72[/tex] The leading coefficient HAS to be a positive 1; ours is negative 1 so we factor out the negative to get:

[tex]-(x^2-18x)=72[/tex] Now we're ready to complete the square.

Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 18 (from -18x; don't worry about the negative because squaring it makes it positive anyway). Half of 18 is 9, and 9 squared is 81.

BUT on the left we have that -1 sitting out front that refuses to be ignored. What we actually added on to the left side, inside the parenthesis, is -1(81) which is -81.   -81 is what we add to the right since that turns out to be what we added to the left:

[tex]-(x^2-18x+81)=72-81[/tex] and we clean that up.

The reason we complete the square is because when we simplify the left side, we end up with a perfect square binomial found from taking the square root of x-squared, the first sign we come to, then the square root of 81:

[tex]-(x-9)^2=-9[/tex].  Move the constant back over to get

[tex]-(x-9)^2+9=y[/tex] telling us that the vertex is (9, 9). In the context of the problem that means that the gym sells on average 9 memberships a day and the profit it makes on average per day is $9.

To factor, we will go back one step to

[tex]-(x-9)^2=-9[/tex] and begin by dividing both sides by -1 to get

[tex](x-9)^2=9[/tex] and undo the squaring by taking the square root of both sides to get

x - 9 = ±3 so

x = 9 + 3 and

x = 9 - 3 so

x = 6 and 12

Those are the zeros. This means that if they sell either 6 or 12 memberships they have a 0 profit. That may sound strange, but in business it does often work like that...selling too many of something makes your company lose money (this is often due to the cost required by you to produce or manufacture the product).

An experiment consists of tossing a pair of balanced, six-sided dice. (a) Use the combinatorial theorems to determine the number of sample points in the sample space S. 36 Correct: Your answer is correct. sample points (b) Find the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice is equal to 6. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Sample space = 36

P(sum of 6) = 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of faces on a dice = 6

The sample space, for a toss of 2 dice ; (Number of faces)^number of dice

Sample space = 6^2 = 6*6 = 36

Sum of numbers appearing on the dice = 6

The sum of 6 from the roll of two dice has 5 different outcomes ; Hence, required outcome = 5

Total possible outcomes = sample space = 36

Probability, P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P = 5 / 36

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The given parameters are:

[tex]n=6[/tex] --- the faces of a six-sided die

[tex]r = 2[/tex] -- the number of dice

(a) The number of sample points

This is calculated as:

[tex]Sample = n^r[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Sample = 6^2[/tex]

Evaluate the exponent

[tex]Sample = 36[/tex]

Hence, the number of sample points is 36

(b) The probability that the sum of 6

See attachment for the sample space of the sum of two dice.

From the sample space, there are 5 outcomes where the sum is 6.

So, the probability is:

[tex]Pr = \frac{5}{36}[/tex] --- where 36 represents the number of sample points

Divide 5 by 36

[tex]Pr = 0.1389[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice is equal to 6 is 0.1389

Answer:

56 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation.

[tex]\frac{3}{5}x<35<\frac{13}{20}x[/tex]

Why do we do this? We are told that she solved MORE than 60%, or [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex], and LESS than 65%, or [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex]. Therefore, if we set the TOTAL number of problems to x, we have an equation we can solve.

[tex]\frac{3}{5}x<35<\frac{13}{20}x\\[/tex]

Multiply all parts of the inequality by 20 to get rid of the denominators.

[tex]20*\frac{3}{5}x<20*35<20*\frac{13}{20}x\\ \\12x<700<13x[/tex]

Now we can solve TWO individual inequalities to isolate the x variable.

[tex]12x<700\\x<\frac{700}{12}\\x < 175/3\\x<58[/tex]

We can approximate 175/3 to about 58 (rounding down). We will sometimes round down when we have to deal with whole numbers.

The second inequality is as follows.

[tex]13x>700\\x>700/13\\x>53[/tex]

Therefore, we can combine the two inequalities.

[tex]53<x<58[/tex]

There were in between 53 and 58 questions. Since the number of questions must be a whole number, there can be 54, 55, 56, 57, OR 58. Why does 58 also work? When you plug 58 back into the original equation, you get that it STILL works. This is due to the fact that inaccuracies in computations allow you to round UP.

However, the last thing to keep in mind is that there are four sections with an equal number of questions. Meaning, the final answer has to be a multiple of four. The only multiple of 4 is 56; therefore, the final answer is 56.

Answers

Answer:

According to the proposed interrogate, as well as the graph provided, the correct answers to such are identified as B. Y = -2x + 5 and C. 2x + y = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate such, a comprehension of linear Cartesian data is required:

Slope = rise/run. If there is a negative rise, the direction of the line is proportional to the left-hand side as it exponentially grows or augments in units.

Y-intercept: The peculiar point in which the linear data observed intersects the y-axis.

X-intercept: The peculiar point in which the linear data observed intersects the x-axis.

Since this is a negative linear, all negative slopes apply.

The interrogate states, “Check all that apply.” Thus, there may be more than one correct answer, shall such be disseminated.

A. Cannot be the answer as the line should have been a horizontal line contained within quadrants I and II on the Cartesian Plane.

B. Contains a negative slope, thus is disclosed as a correct answer.

C. This configuration is denoted in “Standard Form” or “General Form”. To convert this to “Slope-Intercept Form” the following must be executed mathematically:

2x + y = 4

Y = -2x + 4 <== Slope-Intercept Form (Contains a negative slope, thus considered a correct answer.

D. Likewise, this configuration is denoted in “Standard Form” or “General Form”. To convert this to “Slope-Intercept Form” the following must be executed mathematically:

X - y = 9

-y = -x + 9

Y = x - 9 <== Slope-Intercept Form (Cannot be considered as the correct answer, given the positive slope configuration, thus is marked out).

Thus far, as evaluated, the correct answers to the proposed interrogate, as according to the linear data provided in the Cartesian Plane is acknowledged, and henceforth disseminated, as B. Y = -2x + 5 and C. 2x + y = 4.

Dodi bicycles 14mph with no wind. Against the wind, Dodi bikes 10mi in the same time it takes to bike 20mi with the wind. What is the speed of the wind?

Answers

Answer:

4.67 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed with no wind = 14 mph

Let wind speed = w mph

Thus;

Speed with wind = 14 + w

Speed against the wind = 14 - w

Now, we are told that against the wind he bikes 10 miles.

Thus, from; time = distance/speed, we have;

Time = 10/(14 - w)

Also, we are told he biked 20 miles with the wind. Thus;

Time = 20/(14 + w)

We are told the times he used in both cases are the same.

Thus;

10/(14 - w) = 20/(14 + w)

Divide both sides by 10 to get;

1/(14 - w) = 2/(14 + w)

Cross multiply to get:

1(14 + w) = 2(14 - w)

14 + w = 28 - 2w

w + 2w = 28 - 14

3w = 14

w = 14/3

w = 4.67 mph

Claims from Group A follow a normal distribution with mean 10,000 and standard deviation 1,000. Claims from Group B follow a normal distribution with mean 20,000 and standard deviation 2,000. All claim amounts are independent of the other claims. Fifty claims occur in each group. Find the probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

Answers

Answer:

0.0287 = 2.87% probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

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.

n instances of a normal variable:

For n instances of a normal variable, the mean is [tex]n\mu[/tex] and the standard deviation is [tex]s = \sigma\sqrt{n}[/tex]

Sum of normal variables:

When two normal variables are added, the mean is the sum of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Group A follow a normal distribution with mean 10,000 and standard deviation 1,000. 50 claims of group A.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_A = 10000*50 = 500000[/tex]

[tex]s_A = 1000\sqrt{50} = 7071[/tex]

Group B follow a normal distribution with mean 20,000 and standard deviation 2,000. 50 claims of group B.

This means that:

[tex]\mu_B = 20000*50 = 1000000[/tex]

[tex]s_B = 2000\sqrt{50} = 14142[/tex]

Distribution of the total of the 100 claims:

[tex]\mu = \mu_A + \mu_B = 500000 + 1000000 = 1500000[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_B^2} = \sqrt{7071^2+14142^2} = 15811[/tex]

Find the probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1530000. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1530000 - 1500000}{15811}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.9[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.9[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9713

1 - 0.9713 = 0.0287

0.0287 = 2.87% probability the total of the 100 claims exceeds 1,530,000.

x3 – 6x2 – 9x + 54 = 0

Answers

Answer:

x = -3  or x = 3  or x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x3 – 6x2 – 9x + 54 = 0

There is no common factor to factor out. There are 4 terms. We try factoring by grouping. Factor a common factor out of the first two terms. Factor a common factor out of the last two terms.

x^2(x - 6) - 9(x - 6) = 0

x - 6 is a common factor, so we factor it out.

(x^2 - 9)(x - 6) = 0

x^2 - 9 is the difference of 2 squares, so we factor it.

(x + 3)(x - 3)(x - 6) = 0

x + 3 = 0  or  x - 3 = 0  or x - 6 = 0

x = -3  or x = 3  or x = 6

Answer:

x=6     x=3   x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 – 6x^2 – 9x + 54 = 0

Factor by grouping

x^3 – 6x^2     – 9x + 54 = 0

x^2(x-6)    -9(x-6 ) =0

Factor out x-6

(x-6)(x^2 -9) =0

Notice x^2 -9 is the difference of squares

(x-6)(x-3)(x+3) = 0

Using the zero product property

x-6 =0    x-3 =0   x+3 =0

x=6     x=3   x=-3

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units right and b units up, the new point is at A'(x + a, y + b).

If a point A(x, y) is reflected across the line y = -x, the new point is at A'(-y, -x).

If a point A(x, y) is rotated counterclockwise by 270 degrees, the new point is at A'(y, -x).

Let us assume that triangle ABC has vertices at A(-6, -1), B(-3, -3) and C(-1, -2).

If it is moved 5 units to the right and 2 units up, the new point is at A'(-1, 1), B'(1, -1) and C'(3, 0). If it is reflected across the line y = -x, the vertices are at A"(-1, 1), B"(1, -1) and C"(0, -3). If it is then rotated counterclockwise about the origin by 270°, the new point is at A'"(-1, -1), B"'(1, 1), C"'(3, 0)
