(x+1)(x−1)(x−5)=0 HELP
Answer:
x³ - 5x² - x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+1)(x-1)(x-5) = 0
fisrt step:
(x+1)(x-1) = x*x + x*-1 + 1*x + 1*-1 = x² - x + x - 1 = x² - 1
then:
(x+1)(x-1)(x-5) = (x²-1)(x-5)
(x²-1)(x-5) = x²*x + x²*-5 -1*x -1*-5 = x³ - 5x² - x + 5
An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 9 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 9 years is approximated by
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3,
where t is the time (in years) and h is the height (in centimeters). The seedlings are 10 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0).
(a) Find the height after t years.
h(t) =
(b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold?
cm
Answer:
(a) After t years, the height is
18t² + 3t + 10
(b) The shrubs are847 cm tall when they are sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given growth rate
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3
dh = (18t + 3)dt
Integrating this, we have
h = 18t² + 3t + C
When t = 0, h = 10cm
Then
10 = C
So
(a) h = 18t² + 3t + 10
(b) Because they are sold after every 9 years, then at t = 9
h = 18(9)² + 3(9) + 10
= 810 + 27 + 10
= 847 cm

The sum of the reciprocals of two consecutive even integers is 3/4
Find the two integers.
[tex] \Large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \orange{Solution:}}}}}[/tex]
Let one of those even numbers be x, Then other even number would be x + 2.
According to question,
⇛ Their reciprocal add upto 3/4
So, we can write it as,
⇛ 1/x + 1/x + 2 = 3/4
⇛ x + 2 + x / x(x + 2) = 3/4
⇛ 2x + 2 / x² + 2x = 3/4
Cross multiplying,
⇛ 3(x² + 2x) = 4(2x + 2)
⇛ 3x² + 6x = 8x + 8
⇛ 3x² - 2x - 8 = 0
⇛ 3x² - 6x + 4x - 8 = 0
⇛ 3x(x - 2) + 4(x - 2) = 0
⇛ (3x + 4)(x - 2) = 0
Then, x = -4/3 or 2
☃️ It can't be -4/3 because it is fraction and negative number. So, x = 2
Then, x + 2 = 4
✤ So, The even numbers are 2 and 4.

A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 4 ft 3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard.
Answer:
2ft by 2ft by 1 ftStep-by-step explanation:
Total surface of the cardboard box is expressed as S = 2LW + 2WH + 2LH where L is the length of the box, W is the width and H is the height of the box. Since the cardboard box is without a lid, then the total surface area will be expressed as;
S = lw+2wh+2lh ... 1
Given the volume V = lwh = 4ft³ ... 2
From equation 2;
h = 4/lw
Substituting into r[equation 1;
S = lw + 2w(4/lw)+ 2l(4/lw)
S = lw+8/l+8/w
Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to w and l will give;
dS/dw = l + (-8w⁻²)
dS/dw = l - 8/w²
Similarly,
dS/dl = w + (-8l⁻²)
dS/dw = w - 8/l²
At turning point, ds/dw = 0 and ds/dl = 0
l - 8/w² = 0 and w - 8/l² = 0
l = 8/w² and w =8/l²
l = 8/(8/l² )²
l = 8/(64/I⁴)
l = 8*l⁴/64
l = l⁴/8
8l = l⁴
l³ = 8
l = ∛8
l = 2
Hence the length of the box is 2 feet
Substituting l = 2 into the function l = 8/w² to get the eidth w
2 = 8/w²
1 = 4/w²
w² = 4
w = 2 ft
width of the cardboard is 2 ft
Since Volume = lwh
4 = 2(2)h
4 = 4h
h = 1 ft
Height of the cardboard is 1 ft
The dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard is 2ft by 2ft by 1 ft
Aiko and Kendra arrive at the Texas
State Fair with $60. What is the total
number of rides they can go on if
they each pay the entrance fee of
$17 and rides cost $3 each?
Answer:
They can go on 14 rides the maximum.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to set up the equation. Basically, Aiko and Kendra only carry $60 with them. They cannot go over that limit. Furthermore, the entrance free is $17. Each ride is $3.
(x = the amount of rides)
17 + 3x ≤ 60
17 represents the entrance fee which only has to be paid one time. 3x represents the cost of each ride (x equals to the amount of rides).
Now you solve.
Isolate the variable, which is 3x.
3x ≤ 60 - 17
3x ≤ 43
Now, divide 43 by 3 to find the value of x.
x ≤ 43 ÷ 3
x ≤ 14.3333333333
They can go on a max of 14 rides. Anymore, and they will go over budget. Normally, with problems like this one, if you have a decimal, you should round down unless your instructor says otherwise.
After all, who would you be able to go on a third of a ride? It isn't possible, so generally, they just have you round down.

Next, the students at the Pearson Cooking Academy are assigned a take-home written exam to assess their knowledge of all things culinary. Historically, students scores on this exam had a N(68, 36) distribution. However, these days, there is an company called Charred Egg that offers to help students on tasks whether or not the exercises are for homework or for exams. In a cohort of 19 students, what is the probability that their average score will be at least 70?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P( \= X \ge 70 ) = 0.07311[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 68[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{36} = 6[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 19[/tex]
Generally the standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{6 }{\sqrt{19} }[/tex]
=> [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 1.3765[/tex]
Generally the probability that their average score will be at least 70 is mathematically represented as
[tex]P( \= X \ge 70 ) = 1 - P( \= X < 70 ) = 1 - P(\frac{ \= X - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x}} < \frac{70 - 68}{ 1.3765} )[/tex]
Generally [tex]\frac{ \= X - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x}} = z(The \ z-score \ of \ \= X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P( \= X \ge 70 ) = 1 - P( \= X < 70 ) = 1 - P(Z <1.453 )[/tex]
From the z-table
[tex]P(Z <1.453 ) = 0.92689[/tex]
=> [tex]P( \= X \ge 70 ) = 1 - P( \= X < 70 ) = 1 - 0.92689[/tex]
=> [tex]P( \= X \ge 70 ) = 1 - P( \= X < 70 ) = 0.07311[/tex]
=> [tex]P( \= X \ge 70 ) = 0.07311[/tex]
Suppose that two.integers from the set of 8 integrs {1,2,3....8} are chosen at random. Find the probability that i. both numbers match. ii. Sun of the two numbers picked is less than 4?
Answer: a) 0.003
b) 0.125
c) 0.047
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a set of 8 numbers {1,2,...,8}
Let's analyze each case:
a) 5 and 8 are picked. The probability here is:
In the first selection, we have two possible picks (we can pick 5 or 8), so we have two possible outcomes out of 8 total outcomes, the probability for the first selection is:
P = 2/8 = 1/4.
Now, if one of those numbers was picked in the first selection, only one outcome is possible in this second selection, (if before we picked a 5, here we only can pick an 8, or if in the first selection we picked an 8, here we only can pick a 5.)
the probability is:
P = 1/8
The joint probability is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, so here we have:
P = (1/4)*(1/8) = 1/32 = 0.003
b) The numbers match (we draw two sixes, for example) :
In the first selection, we can have any outcome (the only requirement is that in the second selection we pick the same outcome), so the probability is:
P = 8/8 = 1
in the second selection, we can have only one outcome, so here the probability is:
P = 1/8
The joint probability is p = 1/8 = 0.125
c) The sum is smaller than 4:
The combinations are:
1 - 1 , 1 - 2 and 2 - 1
We have 3 combinations, and the total number of possible combinations is:
8 options for the first number and 8 options for the second selection:
8*8 = 64
The probability is equal to the number of outcomes that satisfy the sentence (3) divided by the total number of outcomes (64):
P = 3/64 = 0.047

A lottery exists where balls numbered 1 to "20" are placed in an urn. To win, you must match the balls chosen in the correct order. How many possible outcomes are there for this game?
Answer: 1860480
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially, there are 20 balls where 5 must be chosen in order.
The number of possible outcomes may be calculated using the concept of permutations.
The formula for permutations is:
nPr =n!/(n−r)!
where n represents the number of items and r represents the number of items to be selected.
The number of ways of selecting 5 balls in order out of 20 is:
20P5 = 20!/15!
= 1860480
To conclude, there are 1860480 possible outcomes.

Part C: The number of terms in the polynomial is:
Part D: The leading term of the polynomials:
Part E: The leading coefficient of the polynomial is:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the polynomial 2x⁵ + 4x³ - 3x⁸. The polynomial is not yet in standard form. For a polynomial to be in standard form, the power of the variables must decrease as we progress to the right of the expression.
A) The polynomial in standard form is therefore - 3x⁸ + 2x⁵ + 4x³. We can see that the power are reducing as we move through each terms i.e from 8 to 5 then to 3.
B) The degree of a polynomial is the maximum degree among all the terms of the polynomial. The term that has the maximum degree is -3x⁸. Hence, the degree of the polynomial is 8
C) There are only 3 terms in the polynomial given. The terms are separated by mathematical signs. The terms if the polynomial are 2x⁵, 4x³ and - 3x⁸.
D) The leading term of the polynomial is the term that comes first after rewriting the polynomial in standard format. Given the standard from of the polynomial given as -3x⁸ + 2x⁵ + 4x³, the leading term will be - 3x⁸
E) Given the leading term to be - 3x⁸, the leading coefficient of the polynomial will be the coefficient of the leading term. The coefficient of -3x⁸ is -3

Complete each ordered pair so that it is a solution of the given linear equation.
x - 4y = 4; (_,3), (4,_)
Answer: (16,3) and (4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the equation x-4y=4 is asking what is the value of x if the value of y is 3. So plot it into the equation and solve for x.
x-4(3)=4 multiply the left side
x - 12 = 4 add 12 to both sides
x= 16
You will now have the coordinates (16,3)
In the second pair it gives the x coordinate which is 4 but we need to solve for y.
4 - 4y=4 subtract 4 from both sides
-4 -4
-4y = 0 Divide both sides by 4
y = 0
The ordered pair will be (4,0)

The function y=-2(x-3)2 + 4 shows the daily profit (in hundreds of dollars)
of a hot dog stand, where xis the price of a hot dog (in dollars). Find and
interpret the zeros of this function.
Select two answers: one for the zeros and one for the interpretation.
O A. Zeros at x = 3 1/2
B. The zeros are the hot dog prices at which they sell o hot dogs.
C. Zeros at x = 2 and x = 3
D. The zeros are the hot dog prices that give $0.00 profit (no profit).
Answer:
D. The zeros are the hot dog prices that give $0.00 profit (no profit).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function y=-2(x-3)² + 4
The zeros of the function are the points at which the graph of the function crosses the x axis if plotted. y is the daily profit (in hundreds of dollars) and x is the price of the hot dog. To find the zeros, we substitute x = 0 and solve.
Therefore: y=2(x-3)² + 4
0 = 2(x-3)² + 4
-2(x² - 6x + 9) + 4 = 0
-2x² + 12x - 18 + 4 = 0
2x² - 12x + 18 - 4 = 0
2x² - 12x + 14 = 0
2(x² - 6x + 7) = 0
x² - 6x + 7 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation gives:
x = 3 + √2 and x = 3 - √2
This means that the graph crosses x at 3 + √2 and 3 - √2.
The zeros of the function are 3 + √2 and 3 - √2. The zeros of the function is the point where y = 0, that is the point that the hot dog prices that give $0.00 profit (no profit).
A certain dataset of systolic blood pressure measurements has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 3. Assuming the distribution is bell-shaped and we randomly select a measurement:
a) What percentage of measurements are between 71 and 89?
b) What is the probability a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89?
c) What is the probability a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75?
d) We should expect 15% of patients have a blood pressure below what measurement?
e) Would it be unusual for 3 patients to have a mean blood pressure measurement of more than 84? Explain.
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = systolic blood pressure measurements.
It is provided that, [tex]X\sim N(\mu=80,\sigma^{2}=3^{2})[/tex].
(a)
Compute the percentage of measurements that are between 71 and 89 as follows:
[tex]P(71<X<89)=P(\frac{71-80}{3}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{89-80}{3})[/tex]
[tex]=P(-3<Z<3)\\=P(Z<3)-P(Z<-3)\\=0.99865-0.00135\\=0.9973[/tex]
The percentage is, 0.9973 × 100 = 99.73%.
Thus, the percentage of measurements that are between 71 and 89 is 99.73%.
(b)
Compute the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89 as follows:
[tex]P(X>89)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{89-80}{3})[/tex]
[tex]=P(Z>3)\\=1-P(Z<3)\\=1-0.99865\\=0.00135\\\approx 0.0014[/tex]
Thus, the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure measures more than 89 is 0.0014.
(c)
Compute the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75 as follows:
Apply continuity correction:
[tex]P(X\leq 75)=P(X<75-0.5)[/tex]
[tex]=P(X<74.5)\\\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{74.5-80}{3})\\\\=P(Z<-1.83)\\\\=0.03362\\\\\approx 0.034[/tex]
Thus, the probability that a person's blood systolic pressure being at most 75 is 0.034.
(d)
Let x be the blood pressure required.
Then,
P (X < x) = 0.15
⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.15
⇒ z = -1.04
Compute the value of x as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-1.04=\frac{x-80}{3}\\\\x=80-(1.04\times3)\\\\x=76.88\\\\x\approx 76.9[/tex]
Thus, the 15% of patients are expected to have a blood pressure below 76.9.
(e)
A z-score more than 2 or less than -2 are considered as unusual.
Compute the z score for [tex]\bar x[/tex] as follows:
[tex]z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{84-80}{3/\sqrt{3}}\\\\=2.31[/tex]
The z-score for the mean blood pressure measurement of 3 patients is more than 2.
Thus, it would be unusual.
Solve the right triangle.
a = 3.3 cm, b = 1.7 cm, C = 90°
Round values to one decimal place.
Answer:
A = 62.7°B = 27.3°c = 3.7Step-by-step explanation:
tan(A) = a/b = 3.3/1.7
A = arctan(33/17) ≈ 62.7°
B = 90° -A = 27.3°
c = √(a²+b²) = √(3.3² +1.7²) = √13.78
c ≈ 3.7
(1 point) Consider the function f(x)=2x3−9x2−60x+1 on the interval [−4,9]. Find the average or mean slope of the function on this interval. Average slope: By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists at least one value c in the open interval (−4,9) such that f′(c) is equal to this mean slope. List all values c that work. If there are none, enter none . Values of c:
Answer: c = 4.97 and c = -1.97
Step-by-step explanation: Mean Value Theorem states if a function f(x) is continuous on interval [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), there is at least one value c in the interval (a<c<b) such that:
[tex]f'(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
So, for the function f(x) = [tex]2x^{3}-9x^{2}-60x+1[/tex] on interval [-4,9]
[tex]f'(x) = 6x^{2}-18x-60[/tex]
f(-4) = [tex]2.(-4)^{3}-9.(-4)^{2}-60.(-4)+1[/tex]
f(-4) = 113
f(9) = [tex]2.(9)^{3}-9.(9)^{2}-60.(9)+1[/tex]
f(9) = 100
Calculating average:
[tex]6c^{2}-18c-60 = \frac{100-113}{9-(-4)}[/tex]
[tex]6c^{2}-18c-60 = -1[/tex]
[tex]6c^{2}-18c-59 = 0[/tex]
Resolving through Bhaskara:
c = [tex]\frac{18+\sqrt{1740} }{12}[/tex]
c = [tex]\frac{18+41.71 }{12}[/tex] = 4.97
c = [tex]\frac{18-41.71 }{12}[/tex] = -1.97
Both values of c exist inside the interval [-4,9], so both values are mean slope: c = 4.97 and c = -1.97
