-x^4-5x^3+__ x^2 +10x=(x+__)(2x-x^3)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-x^4-5x^3+2x²+ 10x = (x+5)(2x-x³)

Step by Step explanation

Naming the coefficient of x² as "a" and the independent temine of the first parenthesis as "b", we got:

-x^4-5x^3+ ax^2 +10x=(x+b)(2x-x^3)

- x⁴-5x^3+ ax^2 +10x = 2x²- x⁴+2bx-bx³

-5x^3+ ax^2 +10x = -bx³+2x²+2bx

( Matching the exponents)

For x: 2b= 10; b=10/2. 

            b=5

For x²: a=2

For x³: -b=-5

             b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

5 people have a license

3 people don't

? = Probability that first person has a license and second does not

We can divide the problem into two sections, the first being the probability of the first person having a license, and the second section is the probability that the second person doesn't have a license.

P1 = Probability of the first person having a license, there are 5 out of 8 person having a license, thus P1 = 5/8.

P2 = Probability of the second person having a license. There are 3 people not having a license, out of 8-1 = 7 persons available, since one is taken already from the first choice, therefore P2 = 3/7.

P1 and P2 are dependent events, thus P(1,2) = P1 * P2.

P(1,2) = P1 * P1 = 5/8 * 3/7 = 15/56

1. Which class had better overall results on the exam?
2. Which class had greater variability in the results?

Answers

The class that had better overall results on the exam is class A.

The class with greater variablity in results is class B.

Which class performed better?

The statistics of students in class A:

Maximum score = 100

Minimum score = 65

Median = 85

First quartile = 1/4(n + 1) = 1/4 x 12 = 3rd term = 70

Third quartile = 3/4 x (n + 1) = 3/4 x 12 = 9th term = 90

The statistics of students in class B:

Maximum score = 100

Minimum score = 55

Median = 75

First quartile = 70

Third quartile = 80

Which class had greater variability in the results?

The range would be used to determine which class has greater variability.

Range = highest score  - lowest score

Class a = 100 - 65 = 35

Class B = 100 - 55 = 45

O Possible answer: 50%
O Possible answer: 55%
O Possible answer. 45%

Answers

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of random numbers can be used for simulating a situation by defining how the numbers will be used to represent the possible outcomes. Trials are repeated using newly-generated random numbers until there are a sufficient number of trials to give a reasonable prediction of the probability of interest.

__

We can simulate the situation as follows:

if a pair of digits is in the range 00-44, then the student will be taking a computer coursea sequence of 10 pairs of digits (4 of the 5-digit numbers) will represent a group of 10 studentsWe are interested in the fraction of groups of 10 that have 6 or more that take a computer course. (Theoretical probability is about 26%.)

Here are our trials and results.

48 09 52 47 65 05 60 44 64 97 -- 3 of 10

11 96 69 33 54 86 43 13 47 31 -- 5 of 10

56 52 16 97 22 26 29 57 94 23 -- 5 of 10

42 66 97 09 62 17 35 52 98 26 -- 5 of 10

53 44 26 82 41 88 38 32 64 31 -- 6 of 10

73 43 45 30 41 29 59 15 81 66 -- 5 of 10

23 54 46 11 32 12 95 52 28 34 -- 6 of 10

41 59 26 41 19 53 14 73 32 05 -- 7 of 10

82 87 37 09 67 70 03 44 78 21 -- 5 of 10

11 15 30 29 89 37 97 79 34 25 -- 7 of 10

__

Of these 10 trials, 4 showed the result that at least 6 of the next 10 students will choose a computer course. That is, the probability is estimated to be about 4/10 = 40%.

_____

Additional comment

Here, we can only predict the probability of interest as some multiple of 10%, since we have numbers sufficient for only 10 trials.

We could arrange the random numbers a different way and reuse them, but we choose not to for the purpose of this answer. For that to make sense, we need to have assurance that these numbers are truly random.

The number of repeated values among these 100 pairs of digits suggests that this is a poor set of numbers to be using. 26 and 41 each show up 4 times, for example. The probability of that happening by chance in a truly random set of numbers is about 0.03%. A chance event is considered to be unlikely if its probability is less than 1%.

find three numbers whos sum is 86, if the first number is three times the difference between the second and the third, and the second number is two more than twice the third.

Answers

Answer: 45,28,13

Step-by-step explanation:


Firstly let’s call integer 3

‘x’

Following the information given the following equations can be constructed:

integer 3 = x


integer 2 = 2+2x because 2x represents 2 times integer 3 (which is x) and plus two

integer 1 =3((2x+2)-x) what we have written is the difference between integer 2 (which was (2x+2)) and integer 3 which was x and simply multiply the result of that subtraction by 3


next we can treat them like their own variables almost.

integer 1 + integer 2 + integer 3 =86


so now plug in the equations we have constructed for each integer:


(3((2x+2)-x)) + (2x+2) + x = 86


to make it easier to read please see the image attached below to solve for x


After you have gone through the image I have included you should notice x= 13 great we got one integer! (Integer 3)


now plug in 13 into our integer equations :


integer 2: 2(13)+2= 28

Therefore integer 2 is 28


integer 1: 3((2(13)+2)-(13))=
3((28-13)

3(15)

45

Therefore integer 1 is 45.


and integer 3 is x which as we now know is equal to 13

D. Open the compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of [tex]\over{AB}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a perpendicular for [tex]\over{AB}[/tex], we must first take a compass & take the distance of its arms wider than half the length of [tex]\over{AB}[/tex].

This is done in order to get two intersecting arcs in the top & bottom of [tex]\over{AB}[/tex] so that a perpendicular bisector can be drawn through it.

After two intersecting lines are drawn below & above [tex]\over{AB}[/tex], draw a line joining these 2 points through their points of intersection. The point where it intersects [tex]\over{AB}[/tex] is the middle-most point of [tex]\over{AB}[/tex] & now a perpendicular bisector of [tex]\over{AB}[/tex] is constructed.

Answers

Answer:

width = 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the door

and w be its width

The statement “The height of the door is I foot more than twice its width”

can be translated mathematically like this :  h = 2w + 1

Let’s solve the equation for w:

h = 2w + 1

⇔ 2w = h - 1

[tex]\Leftrightarrow w=\frac{h-1}{2}[/tex]

now , if the door is 7 feet high then it’s width is equal to :

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{7-1}{2} =\frac{6}{2} =3 \ ft[/tex]

Answer:

3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It mentions that the height of the door is 1 foot more than twice its width.

height (h) = 2 × width (w) + 1 foot

The width of a door of height 7 feet will be :

7 feet = 2 × width (w) + 1 foot2× width (w) = 6 feetwidth (w) = 3 feet

The sun came out and the temperature quickly rose 18 degrees. the a thunderstorm hits and the temperature drops 6 degrees. the sun comes back out the temperature raises 12 degrees. the temperature is now 94 degrees. what was the starting temperature?

Answers

By solving a linear equation we will see that the initial temperature was 66 degrees.

What was the initial temperature?

Let's define T as the initial temperature.

First, it increases by 18 F, then it decreases 6 F, and finally, it increases another 12 F, such that the end temperature is 94F.

Then we can write:

T + 18F - 6F + 12F = 94F

Now we can solve that linear equation to find T.

T = 94F - 18F + 6F - 12 F = 66 F

In this way, we conclude that the initial temperature was 66 degrees.

It is defined as the change in coordinates and the shape of the geometrical body. It is also referred to as a two-dimensional transformation. In the geometric transformation, changes in the geometry can be possible by rotation, translation, reflection, and glide translation.

If we rotate the triangle ABC with the origin (0, 0) about 180 degree it will form an image of the triangle ABC which is A'B'C'

Here the coordinates for ABC are not given so we are assuming the triangle ABC has a image which is A'B'C' (refer attached picture)

Which fraction is equal to 0.370 (with the line over 370)

A. 37/100
B. 370/999
C. 37/99
D. 37/9

Answers


This is the answer 37/99 = 0.37
Answer:  B.  370/999

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let x = 0.370370370...

The "370" block repeats forever, due to the horizontal bar up top.

Multiply both sides by 1000 so that the decimal point moves three spots to the right.

x = 0.370370370...

1000x = 1000*0.370370370...

1000x = 370.370370370...

Then notice both x and 1000x involve the *exact* same decimal string of "370" repeating forever. This perfect match lets us cancel the decimal portions out when we subtract, and allows us to isolate x to get some fraction of integers.

1000x - x = 370.370370370... - 0.370370370...

999x = 370

x = 370/999

You can use your calculator to confirm that 370/999 = 0.370370370...

----------------

In fact, you can use your calculator to determine the following:

A) 37/100 = 0.37

B) 370/999 = 0.370370370...

C) 37/99 = 0.373737...

D) 37/9 = 4.1111111....

This allows us to see fairly quickly that choice B is the final answer and that we can rule out the others.
