Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that Dimitri and Jillian were trying to solve is expressed as

(x+1)(x+3) = 12. They are both solving this equation to get the value of x.

Based on the their suggestion, Jillian strategy would have been the best and the only one that will work for us in solving the equation but he didn't take cognizance of 12 when using the formula in his second step hence None of them are correct. The following steps should have been taken;

Step 1: Multiply out the expression (x+1)(x+3)

= (x+1)(x+3)

= x(x)+ 3x+x+1(3)

= x² + 3x + x + 3

= x² + 4x + 3

He got x² + 4x + 3 on expansion

Step 2: He should have rewrote the equation as shown;

x² + 4x + 3 = 12

x² + 4x + 3 -12 = 0

x² + 4x -9 = 0

Step 3: He used the quadratic formula to factorize the expression x² + 4x + 3 where a = 1, b = 4 anad c = -9

x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

x = (-4±√(4)²-4(1)(-9))/2(1)

x = -4±√16+36/2

x = (-4±2√13)/2

x = (-4+2√13)/2 or  (-4-2√13)/2

x = -2+√13 or -2-√13

Hence Neither of them is correct. Jillian is almost correct but he should have equated the equation to zero by taking 12 into consideration before factorizing.

Can someone please help? the answer is 5/12 but I have no idea how. Please explain the steps!

Answers

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

4√y√y / 3√y

The above equation can be simplified as follow:

4√y√y / 3√y

4√y × √y ÷ 3√y

Recall:

√a = a^1/2

m√a = a^1/m

Therefore,

4√y√y ÷ 3√y

y^1/4 × y^1/2 ÷ y^1/3

Recall:

a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)

Therefore,

y^1/4 × y^1/2 ÷ y^1/3

y^(1/4 + 1/2) ÷ y^1/3

y^3/4 ÷ y^1/3

Recall:

a^m ÷ a^n = a^(m–n)

Therefore,

y^3/4 ÷ y^1/3

y^(3/4 – 1/3)

y^5/12

Comparing the above with y^m, we have

y^5/12 = y^m

m = 5/12

Therefore, the value of m is 5/12

Zeros of the function:

The zeros of a function is when the y value is 0 or where the function crosses the x-axis.

The function crosses the x-axis at x = -1 and x = 3.

Factors of the function:

Which of the following lengths and widths represents a rectangle whose diagonal is rational? Question 3 options: length = 2, width = 1 length = 4, width = 4 length = 3, width = 2 length = 4, width = 3

Answers

Answer:

Correct option is length = 4, width = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diagonal of a rectangle is rational.

To find:

Which of the following length and width options represent a rectangle ?

options:

length = 2, width = 1

length = 4, width = 4

length = 3, width = 2

length = 4, width = 3

Solution:

First of all, let us consider a rectangle as shown in the attached answer image.

Rectangle ABCD.

Width of rectangle is AB.

Width of rectangle is BC.

And the diagonal AC or BD can be found by using Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = Length^{2} + Width^{2}[/tex]

Now, let us find diagonal for each option and check whether it is rational or not.

Option 1:

length = 2, width = 1

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 2^{2} + 1^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 5\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = \sqrt5[/tex]

Not rational

Option 2:

length = 4, width = 4

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 4^{2} + 4^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 32\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = 4\sqrt2[/tex]

Not rational.

Option 3:

length = 3, width = 2

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 3^{2} + 2^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 13\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = \sqrt{13}[/tex]

Not rational.

Option 4:

length = 4, width = 3

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 4^{2} + 3^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 25\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = \sqrt{25} = 5[/tex]

Diagonal is rational.

Correct option is length = 4, width = 3.

computer manufacturing company, the actual size of computer chips is normally distributed with a mean of 1 centimeter and a standard deviation of 0.2 centimeters. A random sample of 16 computer chip is taken. What is the probability that the sample mean will be below 0.95?

Answer:

the probability is P=0.045

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given mean of computer chips as 1 centimeter and a standard deviation of 0.1 centimeter

We were given

σ=0.1

n=16

We calculate:

Z=(0.95-1)/0.1 √16

Z=-0.125

Using the standard z- tables. to get the probability we have

P(X<0.95)=P(z<-0.115)=0.045

Therefore, probability is P=0.045

5. The volleyball team has a double-header on Friday. The probability that they
will win both games is 38%. The probability that they will win just the first game is
70%, What is the probability that the team will win the second game given that
they have already won the first game?

Answers

Answer: 54.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The probability that they  will win both games is 38%.

i.e. P( both games will win) =0.38

The probability that they will win just the first game is  70%.

P(first game will win) = 0.70

To find : P(second game will win| first game will win)

Using formula: [tex]P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(\text{both A and B})}{P(A)}[/tex]

So, P(second game will win| first game will win) = [tex]\dfrac{\text{ P( both games will win)}}{\text{P(first game will win)}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{0.38}{0.70}\approx0.5429=54.29\%[/tex]

Hence, the required probability = 54.29%

(ii) If the longer side is 2 times the length of the shorter side. find the length of the longer side.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) area of rhombus = 1/2 × d1 × d2 = 90cm^2

here d1 and d2 are the diagonals

d1 = 18 cm

1/2 × 18 × d2 = 90

9 × d2 = 90

d2 = 90/9

d2 = 10 cm

∴The length of other diagonal is 10 cm

b) d1 = 28 cm

d2 = 24 cm

area = 1/2 × d1 × d2

= 1/2 × 28 × 24

= 336 cm^2

∴ The are of the rhombus = 336 cm^2

If a TV set is bought on the installment plan there is a down payment of $25 and 12 monthly payments of $15 each. The same set may be bought for cash at 12% less than the installment price. The amount saved by making a cash payment is:

Answers

Answer:

Amount saved by making a cash payment is $24.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the amount to be paid if payment was by installments.

We are told that there would be a down payment of $25 and $15 every month for 12 months.

So total installment payment would be;

$25 + 12($15) = $25 + $180 = $205

Now let’s try and figure out the cash payment

For the cash payment, we have 12% less than installment payment.

Kindly note that 12% is same as 12/100 = 0.12

Thus, 12% less payment would be;

205-0.12(205) = 205 - 24.6 = $180.4

Thus, the amount saved if payment was cash would be;

$205 - $180.4 = $24.6

The slope for the given coordinates of points is -1/4.

What is the slope of straight line?

The slope of a straight line is the tangent of the angle formed by it with the positive x axis as the reference.

The negative slope indicates the rate of decrease while the positive shows the rate of increase.

The given points are (-9, -3) and (7,-7).

The general expression to find the slope for two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as,

m = (y₁ - y₂)/(x₁ - x₂)

Plug (x₁, y₁) = (-9, -3) and (x₂, y₂) = (7, -7) to get,

⇒ m = (-3 + 7)/(-9 - 7)

⇒ -1/4

Hence, the slope is obtained as -1/4.
