The polynomial p(x) = x3 – 7x - 6 has a known factor of (x + 1).
Rewrite p(x) as a product of linear factors.
p(x)

Answers

Answer 1

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{(x -3)(x + 2)(x + 1)}[/tex]

We can use long division to find the other roots of p(x).

We know that x + 1 is a factor, so:

Set up:

Find how many times that the first term in the divisor goes into the first of the dividend. Subtract from like terms.

         x² - x - 6

x + 1 | x³ + 0x² - 7x - 6

         x³ + x²

         0 - x²     - 7x

            - x²      - x

             0        - 6x - 6

                        -6x - 6

                          0     0

Therefore, x² - x - 6 is another factor. We can factor this further:

Find two numbers that add up to -1 and multiply into -6. We get:

-3, 2

(x - 3)(x + 2)

The entire polynomial factored is:

(x -3)(x + 2)(x + 1)

There is a rack of 15 billiard balls. Balls numbered 1 through 8 are solid-colored. Balsa numbered 9 through 15 contain stripes. If one ball is selected at random, determine the odds for it being striped.

Answers

If one ball is selected at random, the odds for it being striped are 7 out of 15, or 7/15.

What do we know?

We know that there are 15 billiard balls.

We also know that balls numbered 1 through 8 are solid-colored, so we have 8 solid-colored balls.

And the other 7 balls are striped.

Now we want to find the probability for a randomly selected ball to be a striped ball.

Because all the balls have the same probability of being randomly selected, the probability of randomly selecting a striped ball is equal to the quotient between the number of striped balls (7) and the total number of balls (15).

Then we have:

P = 7/15 = 0.467

That quotient is also what is called the "odds"

So if one ball is selected at random, the odds for it being striped are 7 out of 15, or 7/15.

Required:
a. Compute the value of the test statistic.
b. What is the p-value?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 34

Sample mean, xbar = 15

Population standard deviation, σ = 3

The hypothesis :

H0: μ ≤ 14

H1: μ > 14

The test statistic :

Test statistic = (xbar - μ) ÷ (σ/√(n))

If the cost, C, for manufacturing x units of a certain product is given by c=x^2-5x+65, find the number of units manufactured at a cost of 13,865.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  120

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it pretty easy to obtain the solution by graphing ...

  c(x) -13865 = 0

The positive value of x that makes this so is x = 120.

120 units will have a cost of 13,865 to manufacture.

__

If you like to solve this algebraically, you can probably do it most easily by completing the square.

  x^2 -5x = -65 +13865

  x^2 -5x +6.25 = 13806.25 . . . . . add the square of (-5/2)

  (x -2.5)² = 13806.25

  x -2.5 = √13806.25 = 117.5 . . . . only the positive square root is interesting

  x = 117.5 +2.5 = 120

The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 7 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 6 cm/s. When the length is 12 cm and the width is 8 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a super simple problem. I'm going to walk through it as I do when I teach this to my students for the first time.

We are given a rectangle. We are told to find how fast the area is changing under certain conditions. That tells us that the main equation for this problem is the area formula for a rectangle which is

[tex]A=lw[/tex]. If we are looking for the rate at which the rectangle's area is changing, that means that we need to find the derivative of the area implicitly. This derivative is found using the product rule because the length is being multiplied by the width:

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=l\frac{dw}{dt}+w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex] . If our unknown is the rate at which the area is changing, [tex]\frac{dA}{dt}[/tex], that means that everything else has to have a value (because you can only have one unknown in an equation). Here's what we're told:

The length of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 7 cm/s, so that satisfies our [tex]\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex];

the width is increasing at a rate of 6 cm/s, so that satisfies our [tex]\frac{dw}{dt}[/tex];

and all of this is going on when the length = 12 and the width = 8. It looks like everything will have a value except for our unknown. Filling in:

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=12(6)+8(7)[/tex] and

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=72+56[/tex] so

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=128\frac{cm^2}{s}[/tex]

Which best describes the relationship between the line that passes through the points (6, –1) and (11, 2) and the line that passes through the points (5, –7) and (8, –2)?
A. same line
B. neither perpendicular nor parallel
C. perpendicular
D. parallel

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of line through (6,-1) and (11,2) = (-1 - 2)/(6 - 11) = 3/5

slope of line through (5,-7) and (8,-2) = (-7 - (-2))/(8 - 5) = -5/3

product of the slopes = -1, so the lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations can be cleared of fractions by multiplying by 15.

  10(x +1) -12y = 5

  10x -12y = -5

and

  15(2/5x +1/3(2y +1)) = 15(1/5)

  6x +5(2y +1) = 3

  6x +10y = -2

  3x +5y = -1 . . . . . eliminate common factor of 2

__

You can find the solutions any way you like, but you can answer the question without doing that. The lines are not parallel, nor coincident, so there is exactly one solution. (choices C and D are incorrect)

If we can locate the solution relative to the line x + y = 0, we can tell if choice A or choice B is correct. A quick look at the intercepts of the equations tells us the solution cannot lie in quadrants 1 or 4. The negative y-intercept and shallow slope (-3/5) of the second equation tells us the solution must lie below the line x + y = 0. That means x+y < 0, choice B.

_____

In the attached graph, the line x+y=0 is dashed orange. Above that line, x+y>0; below that line, x+y<0. We see the intersection point of the red and blue lines is in the region where x+y < 0.

For standard form equation ax+by = c, the x- and y-intercepts are c/a and c/b, respectively, so are easy to find from that form. Knowing these makes it easy to make a sketch of the graph, locating the solution point relative to the line x+y = 0.

Tony calculates that 3 cubic metres of concrete is enough for the path.
He decides to use a concrete mix which has:
• cement = 1 part
• sand = 2 parts
gravel = 3 parts
How many cubic metres of gravel does Tony need?
0.5

Answers

Answer:

1.5 cubic metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a concrete mix, cement makes up 1 part, sand makes up 2 parts and gravel makes up 3 parts.

The total number of parts = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 parts.

The amount of marvel present the concrete mix = amount of marvel / total mix

= 3 parts / 6 parts = 1/2

Since 3 cubic metres of concrete is enough for the path, hence the amount of gravel needed is:

Amount of gravel = 1/2 * 3 cubic metres of concrete = 1.5 cubic metres

Cable
Ground

Answers

Answer:

10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple sketch of the question would give a right angled triangle. So that we can easily apply the Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of the cable required.

Let the length of the cable required be represented by x.

[tex]/Hyp/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/Adj 1/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/Adj 2/^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]8^{2}[/tex] + [tex]7^{2}[/tex]

   = 64 + 49

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 113

x = [tex]\sqrt{113}[/tex]

  = 10.63

x = 10.6

The length of the cable required is 10.6 in feet.

The length of the cable needed to support the tenth wall is approximately 10.6 ft.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

Right angle triangle:

Right angle triangle has one of it side as 90 degrees.

Therefore,

The tent wall is the opposite side of the triangle.

The table feet from the base of the tent is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Using Pythagoras's theorem the cable needed can be found.

Therefore,

c² = 8² + 7²

c² = 64 + 49

c = √113

c = 10.6301458127

length of the cable ≈ 10.6 feet
