Answer:
x = -6; v = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
–14 = –(-2x + 2)
-14 = 2x - 2
2x - 2 = -14
2x = -12
x = -6.
51 = 7(-1 + 2v) + 2

A student says that the function f (x) = –x² – 9 has the x-intercepts (-3,0) and (3,0). Is the student correct? If not, expl.
why.
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is wrong because the function has no solutions.
You cannot factor it because the x² is negative.
If it was x² - 9 instead, you could factor it into (x-3)(x+3) which would get you the x-intercepts (-3,0) and (3,0).
But instead, -x² - 9 cannot be factored at all and has no x-intercepts/solutions.
88 feet/second = 60 miles/hour. How many feet per second is 1 mile? (Hint: divide both side of the equation by the same amount.)
Answer:
1 mile/hour is equivalent to 1.47 feet/seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]88 ft/s= 60 miles/hr[/tex]
Required
Determine the equivalent of 1 mile/hour
[tex]88\ ft/s= 60\ miles/hr[/tex]
Express 60 as 60 * 1
[tex]88\ ft/s= 60 * 1\ mile/hr[/tex]
Divide both sides by 60
[tex]\frac{88\ ft/s}{60}= \frac{60 * 1\ mile/hr}{60}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{88\ ft/s}{60}= 1\ mile/hr[/tex]
Reorder
[tex]1\ mile/hr = \frac{88\ ft/s}{60}[/tex]
Divide 88 by 60
[tex]1\ mile/hr = 1.46666666667\ ft/s[/tex]
Approximate to 3 significant figures
[tex]1\ mile/hr = 1.47\ ft/s[/tex]
Hence;
1 mile/hour is equivalent to 1.47 feet/seconds
how to do this question plz answer me step by step plzz plz plz plz plz I really struggling
Answer: 48
There are many approaches to estimating stuff like this, so there isn't one set answer. My approach is shown below.
========================================================
1 min = 60 sec
30 min = 1800 sec (multiply both sides by 30)
1/2 hr = 1800 sec (replace "30 min" with "1/2 hr")
The value 2014 is fairly close to 1800, so roughly every half hour we have a prize being won. This is an overestimate.
There are 24 hours in a day, so 24*2 = 48 half-hour periods in a day, meaning we have an estimated 48 prizes in a full day. This is an overestimate as well.
--------------------
Extra info:
If you're curious about finding the more accurate value, then you could follow these steps
1 prize = 2014 seconds
x prizes = 86400 seconds (number of seconds in a full day)
1/x = 2014/86400
1*86400 = x*2014
86400 = 2014x
2014x = 86400
x = 86400/2014
x = 42.8997020854021
Round down to get x = 43. We round down because there isn't enough time to get that 44th prize. The value 43 is fairly close to 48, and we can see our earlier estimate of 48 was an overestimate.

The base of a right triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 meters per hour and the height is decreasing at a rate of 3 meters per hour. When the base is 9 meters and the height is 22 meters, then how fast is the HYPOTENUSE changing
Answer:
dL/dt = - 2,019 m/h
Step-by-step explanation:
L² = x² + y² (1) Where x, and y are the legs of the right triangle and L the hypotenuse
If the base of the triangle, let´s call x is increasing at the rate of 2 m/h
then dx/dt = 2 m/h. And the height is decreasing at the rate of 3 m/h or dy/dt = - 3 m/h
If we take differentials on both sides of the equation (1)
2*L*dL/dt = 2*x*dx/dt + 2*y*dy/dt
L*dL/dt = x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt (2)
When the base is 9 and the height is 22 according to equation (1) the hypotenuse is:
L = √ (9)² + (22)² ⇒ L = √565 ⇒ L = 23,77
Therefore we got all the information to get dL/dt .
L*dL/dt = x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt
23,77 * dL/dt = 9*2 + 22* ( - 3)
dL/dt = ( 18 - 66 ) / 23,77
dL/dt = - 2,019 m/h
Using implicit differentiation and the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the hypotenuse is changing at a rate of -2.02 meters per hour.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse h is the sum of the squares of the base x and of the height h, hence:
[tex]h^2 = x^2 + y^2[/tex]
In this problem, [tex]x = 9, y = 22[/tex], hence, the hypotenuse is:
[tex]h^2 = 9^2 + 22^2[/tex]
[tex]h = \sqrt{9^2 + 22^2}[/tex]
[tex]h = 23.77[/tex]
Applying implicit differentiation, the rate of change is given by:
[tex]2h\frac{dh}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
Simplifying by 2:
[tex]h\frac{dh}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
The rates of change given are: [tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 2, \frac{dy}{dt} = -3[/tex].
We want to find [tex]\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex], hence:
[tex]h\frac{dh}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]23.77\frac{dh}{dt} = 9(2) + 22(-3)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{18 - 66}{23.77}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = -2.02[/tex]
The hypotenuse is changing at a rate of -2.02 meters per hour.

On a cold February morning, the temperature of the radiator fluid in Stanley’s car is . When the engine is running, the temperature of the fluid goes up per minute. Approximately how long will it take before the radiator fluid temperature reaches ?
Answer:
18.18 min
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
On a cold February morning, the radiator fluid in Stanley’s car is -18F. When the engine is running, the temperature goes up 5.4 F per minute. Approximately how long will it take before the radiator fluid temperature reaches 80 F?
The initial temperature of the engine [tex]T_{1}[/tex] = -18 F
rate of increase in temperature r = 5.4 F/min
Final temperature [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 80 F
Difference in temperature ΔT = [tex]T_{1} -T_{2}[/tex] = 80 - (-18) = 98 F
time taken to reach this 80 F will be = ΔT/r
where ΔT is the difference in temperature
r is the rate of change of temperature
time taken = 98/5.4 = 18.18 min

Answer:
2040 miles
Step-by-step explanation
Gas costs 1.35 per gallon and Jose had 81 dollars for gasoline
with this info we can find out how many gallons of gas Jose can buy.
81 divided by 1.35 is 60 gallons of gas
we also know that he can travel 34 miles for each gallon of gas
with this we can find out how far jose can travel
34 multiplied by 60 is 2040 miles
so, with $81, Jose can travel 2040 miles if gas prices are $1.35
In a previous poll, % of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the significance level.
Answer:
We conclude that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is: In a previous poll, 46% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 480 of 1081 adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 0.10 significance level.
Let p = population proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week.
So, Null Hypothesis, : p 46% {means that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has increased or remains same}
Alternate Hypothesis, : p < 46% {means that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;
T.S. = ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of families = [tex]\frac{480}{1081}[/tex] = 0.44
n = sample of adults with children under the age of 18 = 1081
So, the test statistics =
= -1.32
The value of z-statistics is -1.32.
Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;
P-value = P(Z < -1.32) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.32)
= 1 - 0.9066 = 0.0934
Since the P-value of our test statistics is less than the level of significance as 0.0934 < 0.10, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plot the focus and the directrix on a coordinate plane, because the parabola wraps itself around the focus away from the directrix, we know that this parabola opens to the left. That means its general form is
[tex]4p(x-h)=-(y-k)^2[/tex] where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the distance between the vertex and either the focus or the directrix because both distances are the same. Knowing that both distances are the same, it logically follows that the vertex is directly in between the focus and the directrix. So the vertex is at the origin, (0, 0). p is 2 because the vertex is at an x value of 0 and the directrix is at the x value of 2, and because the focus is at an x value of -2. Filling in the equation, then:
[tex]4(2)(x-0)=-(y-0)^2[/tex] which simplifies to
[tex]8x=-y^2[/tex] and, solving for x:
[tex]x=-\frac{1}{8}y^2[/tex]

c. Is the product a polynomials If not, give an explanation,

Answer:
p(x), q(x), and their product are all polynomials.
p(x) · q(x) = 6x² + 10x - 63
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all P(x) and q(x) are polynomials because polynomials refer to any sum, difference, or product of a collection of algebraic terms. The word polynomials is general. P(x) and q(x) are polynomials but more specifically they are binomials since they only have two terms. Their product is a polynomial as well, but more specifically its a trinomial because it has three terms.
process of multiplying
Using the distributive property (or foil method) when multiplying p(x) and q(x) you would first get the expression 6x² - 18x + 28x - 63. From here you would combine "like terms". This would give you your final answer of
6x² + 10x - 63. Sorry, I couldn't help you with the D question but I hope this helps ;)
A piece of aluminum occupies a volume of 12.7 milliliters and weighs 87.3 grams. What is its density of the aluminum rounded to the nearest hundredth? Only enter numerical values, which can include a decimal point.
Answer:
6.87 g/mL
Step-by-step explanation:
The density of an object can be found by dividing the mass by the volume.
[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}\\\\ d=\frac{m}{ v}[/tex]
We know that the aluminum occupies a volume of 12.7 milliliters and weighs 87.3 grams. Therefore, the mass is 87.3 g and the volume is 12.7 mL.
[tex]m= 87.3 g\\\\v=12.7 mL[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]d= \frac{87.3 g}{12.7 mL}[/tex]
Divide 87.3 g by 12.7 mL
[tex]d=6.87401575 g/mL[/tex]
Round to the nearest hundredth. The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 7 in the hundredth place.
[tex]d= 6.87 g/mL[/tex]
The density of the aluminum is about 6.87 grams per milliliter.

A history professor decides to give a 12-question true-false quiz. She wants to choose the passing grade such that the probability of passing a student who guesses on every question is less than 0.10. What score should be set as the lowest passing grade? Group of answer choices
Answer:
we can set the 9 as a benchmark to be the score for the passing grade so that probability of passing a student who guesses every question is less than 0.10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information;
Sample size n = 12
the probability of passing a student who guesses on every question is less than 0.10
In a alternative - response question (true/false) question, the probability of answering a question correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
Let X be the random variable that is represent number of correct answers out of 12.
The X [tex]\sim[/tex] BInomial (12, 0.5)
The probability mass function :
[tex]P(X = k) = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} \times p^k\times (1-p)^{n-k}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 12) = \dfrac{12!}{12!(12-12)!} \times 0.5^{12}\times (1-0.5)^{12-12}[/tex]
P(X = 12) = 2.44 × 10⁻⁴
[tex]P(X = 11) = \dfrac{12!}{11!(12-11)!} \times 0.5^{11}\times (1-0.5)^{12-11}[/tex]
P(X =11 ) = 0.00293
[tex]P(X = 10) = \dfrac{12!}{10!(12-10)!} \times 0.5^{10}\times (1-0.5)^{12-10}[/tex]
P(X = 10) = 0.01611
[tex]P(X = 9) = \dfrac{12!}{9!(12-9)!} \times 0.5^{19}\times (1-0.5)^{12-9}[/tex]
P(X = 9) = 0.0537
[tex]P(X = 8) = \dfrac{12!}{8!(12-8)!} \times 0.5^{8}\times (1-0.5)^{12-8}[/tex]
P(X = 8) = 0.12085
[tex]P(X = 7) = \dfrac{12!}{7!(12-7)!} \times 0.5^{7}\times (1-0.5)^{12-7}[/tex]
P(X = 7) = 0.19335
.........
We can see that,a t P(X = 9) , the probability is 0.0537 which less than 0.10 but starting from P(X = 8) downwards the probability is more than 0.01
As such, we can set the 9 as a benchmark to be the score for the passing grade so that probability of passing a student who guesses every question is less than 0.10

The center is ( 1,-4)
and the radius is d/2 = 18/2 = 9
(x-1)^2 + (y- -4)^2 = 9^2
(x-1)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 81
What is the scale factor in the dilation?
Answer Choices
2/5
1/2
2
2 1/2
Answer:
either 2 or 2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the pre-image gets bigger, the scale factor is larger than 1.
In the figure below, if the angle is right what is the value of x?
Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the angle is right = 90°, then
40 + x = 90 ( subtract 40 from both sides )
x = 50
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf x = 50\ degrees}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 90 - 40 [Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees]
x = 50 degrees
determine if the equation is a linear equation -x + 3y^2=18
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear equations must have no squares, roots, cubes, or any powers. If the graph has an asymptote or any restrictions, it is not a linear function.
A linear function will only appear in either point-slope form or slope-intercept form. These forms will not have square roots or powers in them.
-x + 3y² = 18
We know here that this is not a linear function. But we can try to write it in slope-intercept form:
3y² = x + 18
y² = x/3 + 6
y = √(x/3 + 6)
We can see from here that our graph is a square root function and has a restricted domain (no negative numbers).
Alternatively, we can graph the equation to see if it is a constant line (linear equation) or not. When we do so, we see that it is definitely not a linear function:

What is the factor
Answer:
2(x-4) (x+9)
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2/3 inch on a map corresponds to an actual distance of 9 miles, what distance on the map will represent 21 miles?
Answer:
14/9 inches, or an inch and 5/9 of an inch.
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2/3 inch is the same as 9 miles, then x inches represents 21 miles. We can then set up a proportion.
[tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{9} =\frac{x}{21}[/tex]
9 * x = (2/3) * 21
9x = 2 * 7
9x = 14
x = 14/9 inches.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
1 5/9 ich represent 21 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportions:
2/3 inch ⇔ 9 miles
M inch ⇔ 21 miles
M = 21*(2/3) / 9
M = 14/9
14/9 = 9/9 + 5/9 = 1 + 5/9 = 1 5/9 inch
