Answers

Answer 1
mica should have added 2 to 3 instead of 1
Answer 2

Answer:

Mica should have added 2 to 3 instead of 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 – 4x – 3

0 = 2x^2 – 4x – 3

Mica added 3 on boths sides and factored out 2

3 = 2(x^2 – 2x)

We have 2 outside the parenthesis , so we multiply 1 with 2  and add it one left side

3 + 1 = 2(x^2 – 2x + 1) Error in this step

The above step becomes 3 + 2 = 2(x^2 – 2x + 1)

Mica should have added 2 to 3 instead of 1.

The length of a text messaging conversation is normally distributed with a mean of 2 minutes and a standard deviation of .5 minutes. What is the probability that a conversation lasts longer than 3 minutes?,

Answers

This would be a bell curve with a z-score of greater than +2.00, since 3 minutes is exactly two standard deviations greater than the mean of 2.00. Looking at a z-score table for the proportion of the curve that lies in the 1-tailed area greater than 2.00, we find that the value is .0228. This would be the probability that the conversation is over three minutes: 0.0228 or 2.28%.

Answers

 The correct answer is:  [C]:  " [tex] \frac{21}{11} [/tex] " . 
_____________________________________________________

Explanation:
_____________________________________________________

Let us begin by converting the:  
"0.42 (with the "repeating bar on the digits, "42") " ;  

into a fraction, as follows:
______________________________________________________
   Let  x = 0.42424242424242424242424242424242....

100x = 42.42424242424242424242424242424242....
______________________________________________________
    
         100x = 42.42424242424242424242424242424242....
    –         x =   0.42424242424242424242424242424242...
______________________________________________________
          99x = 42.000000000000000000000000000000.... ;

         →   99x = 42 ;  

Divide each side of the equation by " 99 " ;  
       to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 
______________________________________________________
         →  99x / 99 = 42/99 = (42 ÷ 3) / (99 ÷ 3) = 14/ 33; 

         →  x = "[tex] \frac{14}{33} [/tex]" .

So;  "0.42 (with a repeating bar over the digits, "42" ;

           is equal to:  "[tex] \frac{14}{33} [/tex]" 
________________________________________________
 So, rewrite the question/problem being asked:
________________________________________________
  "Find the quotient:  
________________________________________________
   [tex] \frac{14}{33} [/tex]  ÷ [tex] \frac{2}{9} [/tex]  ;

=  [tex] \frac{14}{33} [/tex] * [tex] \frac{9}{2} [/tex]  ;

Note:  The "14" cancels to a "7" ; and the "2" cancels to a "1" ; 
       →  {since:  " 14 ÷ 2 = 7 " ; and since:  " 2 ÷ 2 = 1 "} ;

Note : The "33" cancels to an "11" ; and the "9" cancels to a "3" ;
        →  {since:  " 33 ÷ 3 = 11 " ; and since:  " 9 ÷ 3 = 3 "} ;

And we can rewrite the problem as:
____________________________________________________
 
 " [tex] \frac{7}{11} [/tex]  * [tex] \frac{3}{1} [/tex] "  ;

  =  [tex] \frac{(7*3)}{(11*1} [/tex]   =  [tex] \frac{21}{11} [/tex]

            → which is:  Answer choice:  [C]:  " [tex] \frac{21}{11} [/tex] " .

With the values plugged in the equations are

SIN:1/sqrt(10) Since there can´t be a sq rt in hte denominator we change it to 1(sq rt(10))/10

If f(x) = x2 + 1 and g(x) =x-4, which value is equivalent to (f•g)(10)

Answers

the answer to your question is 37

Answer:

(f•g)(10)= 606

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that

[tex]f(x)=x^2+1\\\\g(x)=x-4[/tex]

We have to find the value of (f•g)(10)

We can write (f•g)(10) = f(10)•g(10)

Let us find the value of the functions at x = 10

[tex]f(10)=10^2+1\\\\f(10)=100+1\\\\f(10)=101[/tex]

And the value of g(10) is

[tex]g(10)=10-4\\\\g(10)=6[/tex]

Hence,

(f•g)(10)

= f(10)•g(10)

= 101×6

= 606

Therefore, (f•g)(10)= 606

k=1; f(x)=4x^3-2x^2+2x+4; Lower bound?

Answers

Given:
[tex]f(x) = 4x^{3} - 2x^{2} + 2x + 4[/tex]
and,
K = 1

We would require to do the synthetic division of the above problem in order to know whether K=1 is a lower bound or not. Let's do it!

Steps of Synthetic Division:

1. Write the coefficients of the equation, and before that write 1. Like,

1 ║ 4   -2   2   4

As you can see, the coefficients of the equation are seperated by ║.

2. Drop down the first value after ║as it is. Like:
1 ║ 4   -2   2   4
        :
----------------------
       4

3. Multiply 4 with 1 and then  place the resultant value under -2 and then add that resultant value with -2. Like
1 ║ 4   -2   2   4
        :    4
----------------------
       4   2

4. Repeat Step 3 until you're done.

1 ║ 4   -2   2   4
        :    4   2   
----------------------
       4   2    4   

1 ║ 4   -2   2   4
        :    4   2   4
----------------------
       4   2    4   8


Now every value, +4, +2, +4, +8, under the bar(---------) is positive; therefore, it means that K=1 is the upper bound, NOT lower bound.

Ans: K=1 is NOT a lower bound.

If triangle DEF is translated 5 units down, what will be the coordinates of point E ′ in the image?


Answers

Answer:  The correct option is

(B) (4, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the triangle DEF is translated  units down.

We are to find the co-ordinates of point E' in the image.

From the graph, we note that

the co-ordinates of the vertices of triangle DEF are D(1, 2), E(4, 3) and F(3, 1).

We know that

if a point (x, y) is translated 5 units down, then its co-ordinates becomes

(x, y)  →  (x, y-5).

Therefore, after translation, the co-ordinates of the vertex E' in the image are

E(4, 3)  →   E'(4, 3-5) = E'(4, -2).

Thus, (B) is the correct option.

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

The standard form is Ax + By + C = 0

The equations are given below.

y = (1/2)x - 10

y - 3 = (7/9)(x + 4)

Convert the equation y = (1/2)x - 10 into a standard form. Then we have

y = (1/2)x - 10

y = (x - 20) / 2

2y = x - 20

x - 2y - 20 = 0

Convert the equation y - 3 = (7/9)(x + 4) into a standard form. Then we have

y - 3 = (7/9)(x + 4)

y - 3 = (7x + 36) / 9

9y - 27 = 7x + 36

7x - 9y + 63 = 0

The equations are simplified in the standard form will be x - 2y - 20 = 0 and 7x - 9y + 63 = 0.

A bag contains 4 green marbles and 5 white marbles. Suppose a marble is randomly selected. What are the odds in favor of picking a white marble ?

A. 4 to 5
B. 4 to 9
C. 5 to 4
D. 5 to 9

Answers

The odds in favor of picking a white marble from a bag of 4 green and 5 white marbles are 5 to 4.

To find the odds in favor of picking a white marble from a bag that contains 4 green marbles and 5 white marbles, first understand that 'odds in favor' are defined as the ratio of the number of ways the desired outcome can occur to the number of ways the desired outcome cannot occur. In this scenario, the desired outcome is drawing a white marble, and there are 5 white marbles. The number of ways the desired outcome can not occur is the number of non-white marbles, which is 4 green ones. Therefore, the odds in favor of drawing a white marble are 5 white marbles to 4 non-white marbles, or 5 to 4.

At the apple pan 4 burgers and 3 fries cost 26.50. 5 burgers and 5 fries cost $36.25. what is the cost for each item?

Answers

Fries are $2.50 and burgers are $4.75.

Our system of equations for this situation would be

[tex] \left \{ {{4b+3f=26.50} \atop {5b+5f=36.25}} \right. [/tex]

We want the coefficients of one of the variables to be the same in order to eliminate one of them; we will make the coefficients of f the same.  To do this, multiply the top equation by 5 and the bottom equation by 3:

[tex] \left \{ {{5(4b+3f=26.50)} \atop {3(5b+5f=36.25)}} \right. \\ \\ \left \{ {{20b+15f=132.50} \atop {15b+15f=108.75}} \right[/tex]

We subtract the bottom equation:
[tex] \left \{ {{20b+15f=132.50} \atop {-(15b+15f=108.75)}} \right. \\ \\ 5b = 23.75[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5:
5b/5 = 23.75/5
b = 4.75

Burgers are $4.75.

Substitute this into the first equation:
4(4.75) + 3f = 26.50
19 + 3f = 26.50

Subtract 19 from both sides:
19 + 3f - 19 = 26.50 - 29
3f = 7.50

Divide both sides by 3:
3f/3 = 7.50/3
f = 2.50

The cost of a single burger is $4.75 and that of fries is $2.5.

What are expressions?

A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators

Given is that → 4 burgers and 3 fries cost $26.50 and 5 burgers and 5 fries cost $36.25.

Assume that the cost of each burger is $x and that of fries is $y. We can write the system of equations as -

4x + 3y = 26.5        ........ Eq[1]

5x + 5y = 36.25       ........... Eq[2]

We can write Eq[2] as -

5x + 5y = 36.25

x + y = 7.25

y = 7.25 - x

So, Eq[1] can be written as -

4x + 3(7.25 - x) = 26.5

4x - 3x + 21.75 = 26.5

x = 26.5 - 21.75

x = 4.75

and

y = 7.25 - x

y = 7.25 - 4.75

y = 2.50

Therefore, the cost of a single burger is $4.75 and that of fries is $2.5.

What percent of 12.5 is 39

"What percent" is our unknown x, "of" means we will multiply, "is" means equals.  We set up the equation accordingly:  x(12.5) = 39.  12.5x = 39.  Divide both sides by 12.5 to get x = 3.12.  To get to the percent form we multiply by 100 to get 312%. 

The percent 312% of 12.5 is 39

How to find the percentage from the total value?

Suppose the value of a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it by b so that we collect b items per 100 items.

Freezing point depression is the process of the decrease in the freezing point of a solvent by addition of a non-volatile solute such as salt. The salt is added to the icy roads so as to lower down the freezing point of water and preventing the formation of the ice on the road this phenomena is called as freezing point depression. The ionic components of the salt split apart like Na⁺ and Cl⁻ and interacts with the water molecules which combines to form the solid state ice. Thereby, ions of salt interrupting in the formation of the solid structure that is ice.

Answers

The answer is 6 m. To arrive at this answer you solve the following equation: {let x = the original length of the garden) (x+7)^2 = 169 x+7 = 13 x = 13-7 x = 6m

Which of the following is not a polynomial identity?

A. (a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)=(ac-bd)^2+(ad+bc)
B. (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
C. a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)
D. a^2(b+c)=a^3(b/a+c),

Answers

A polynomial identity is the identity whose left terms gives exactly right side terms.

In order to check if which of those have left side equals right side, we need to expand both side to the simplest step.

A. (a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)=(ac-bd)^2+(ad+bc)

We could foil left side (a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)

It gives a^2c^2+a^2d^2+b^2c^2+b^2d^2.

Let us expand right side (ac-bd)^2+(ad+bc)

We get (ac-bd)^2 = a^2c^2+b^2d^2-2acbd

(ac-bd)^2+(ad+bc) = a^2c^2+b^2d^2-2acbd +ad+bc

Left side a^2c^2+a^2d^2+b^2c^2+b^2d^2 is not equal to right side a^2c^2+b^2d^2-2acbd +ad+bc.

Therefore, A. (a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)=(ac-bd)^2+(ad+bc) is not a polynomial identity.


B. (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Let us expand left side of the identity, we get

(a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2.

We got left side a^2 +2ab + b^2 equals right side a^2+2ab+b^2.

Therefore, B. (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 is a polynomial identity.


C. a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

Let us expand right side of the identity, we get

(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) = a^3+a^2b+ab^2-a^2b-ab^2-b^3 = a^3-b^2.

We got left side a^3-b^3 equals right side a^3-b^2.

Therefore, C. a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) is a polynomial identity.


D. a^2(b+c)=a^3(b/a +c)

Expanding left side

a^2(b+c) = a^2b + a^2c

Expanding right side

a^3(b/a +c) = a^3*b/a + a^3c = a^2b +a^3c.

Left side a^2b + a^2c is not equal to right side a^2b +a^3c.

Therefore, D. a^2(b+c)=a^3(b/a +c) is not a polynomial identity.

The correct answer is D. [tex]\(a^2(b+c)=a^3(b/a+c)\)[/tex] is not a polynomial identity.

To determine which option is not a polynomial identity, let's examine each one:

A. [tex]\( (a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)=(ac-bd)^2+(ad+bc)^2 \)[/tex]

 This is a polynomial identity known as the Brahmagupta–Fibonacci identity. It can be verified by expanding the right-hand side and simplifying:

[tex]\( (ac-bd)^2+(ad+bc)^2 = a^2c^2 - 2abcd + b^2d^2 + a^2d^2 + 2abcd + b^2c^2 \)[/tex]

[tex]\( = a^2c^2 + b^2d^2 + a^2d^2 + b^2c^2 \)[/tex]

[tex]\( = a^2(c^2+d^2) + b^2(c^2+d^2) \)[/tex]

[tex]\( = (a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2) \)[/tex]

B. [tex]\( (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 \)[/tex]

This is the well-known square of a binomial, which is a basic algebraic identity.

C.[tex]\( a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) \)[/tex]

This is the difference of cubes factorization, which is a standard polynomial identity. It can be verified by expanding the right-hand side:

[tex]\( (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) = a^3 - a^2b + ab^2 - b^3 \)[/tex]

[tex]\( = a^3 - b^3 \)[/tex]

D.[tex]\( a^2(b+c)=a^3(b/a+c) \)[/tex]

This is not a polynomial identity because when we simplify the right-hand side, we get:

[tex]\( a^3(b/a+c) = a^3(b/a) + a^3c \)[/tex]

[tex]\( = aba^2 + a^3c \)[/tex]

[tex]\( = a^3b + a^3c \)[/tex]

This is not equivalent to the left-hand side, [tex]\( a^2b + a^2c \)[/tex], unless [tex]\( a = 0 \) or \( a^2 = a^3 \)[/tex], which is not true for all values of [tex]\( a \)[/tex]. Therefore, the expression is not a polynomial identity.
