Please Help. Lateena solved the equation below. Is her solution correct? Explain why or why not?
I've attached the picture for the problem.
Answers
Answer:
Not correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x² - 6x - 7 = 0
The following equation can be solved correctly by factoring Thus,
x² - x + 7x - 7 = 0
x(x - 1) +7(x - 1) = 0
(x - 1)(x + 7) = 0
(x - 1) = 0
x - 1 = 0
x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
x = 1
Or
(x + 7) = 0
x + 7 = 0
x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7
x = -7
Therefore, the solution would be x = 1 or x = -7
Lateena solution is therefore NOT CORRECT because she used a wrong method.

Answer:
1. C
2. D
Step-by-step explanation:
1. first find the slope by using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). We need to find the equation for CE so use points C (0, 1) and E (5, 5). (5-1)/(5-0) = 4/5, which is the slope. from there u can tell that the answer is the third choice, which let's say is C, because the y intercept of the line is 1.
2. Do the same thing except with points A (-5, 1) and D (0, 6). (6-1)/(0-(-5)) = 1
The y intercept is 6 because that is where the line intersects the y axis, or where x is 0.
so the equation is y=x+6, which is just the last option, let's say D, but just rearranged
and the second one D

Each year, a large warehouse uses thousands of fluorescent light bulbs that burn 24 hours per day until they burn out and are replaced. The lifetime of the bulbs is a normally distributed random variable with mean equal to 600 hours and standard deviation of 12 hours. The supplier of the light bulbs and the manager agree that any bulb whose lifetime is among the lowest 1% of all possible lifetimes will be replaced at no charge. What is the maximum lifetime a bulb can have (hrs) and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes
Answers
Answer:
The maximum lifetime a bulb can have and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes is 572 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The lifetime of the bulbs is a normally distributed random variable with mean equal to 600 hours and standard deviation of 12 hours.
This means that [tex]\mu = 600, \sigma = 12[/tex]
What is the maximum lifetime a bulb can have (hrs) and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes?
This is the 1st percentile of lifetimes, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01, that is, X when Z = -2.327.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-2.327 = \frac{X - 600}{12}[/tex]
[tex]X - 600 = -2.327*12[/tex]
[tex]X = 572[/tex]
The maximum lifetime a bulb can have and still be among the lowest 1% of all lifetimes is 572 hours.

Answers
Answer:
1. 142 in.²
2. 190 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Both solids are rectangular prisms.
Surface area of a rectangular prism = 2(LW + LH + HW)
1. L = 7 in.
W = 3 in.
H = 5 in.
Plug ok the values into the formula
Surface area = 2(7*3 + 7*5 + 5*3)
= 142 in.²
2. L = 10 cm
W = 3 cm
H = 5 cm
Plug ok the values into the formula
Surface area = 2(10*3 + 10*5 + 5*3)
= 190 cm²

Penny works 44 hours at an hourly rate of $8.50. She was paid time and a half for the overtime of 4 hours. What were her total wages?
Answers
Answer:
Time and a half pay is 50% more than an employee's regular rate of pay. For every hour of overtime an employee works, you must give them their regular rate of pay plus half of that. To calculate an employee's overtime rate of pay, multiply their regular rate by 1.5.

time. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?
Rate of the boat in still water:
Rate of the current:
Answers
Answer:
Rate in still water = 48 mph.
Rate of current = 14 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y miles per hour.
Upstream:
x - y = 102/3
Downstream:
x + y = 186/3
Adding the 2 equations
2x = 102/3 + 186/3 = 34 + 62
2x = 96
x = 48 mph.
So 48 - y = 34
y = 48 - 34 = 14 mph.

Where m mean gradient , and c means intercept
We don’t know our intercept neither do we know our gradient
So we have to find these to get our equation
Therefore, to find m( gradient) from the table
We are going to use the formulae for gradient which is
M=y2-y1 / x2-x1
I.e from the table
M= 23-15 / 4-2
M=8/2
M=4
Therefore how gradient is 4
