Answer:

The answer is [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex] in exact form or [tex]x=2.7863[/tex], [tex]x=-0.1196[/tex] in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, start by moving all expression to the left side of the equation, which will include subtracting [tex]3x^2[/tex] and adding 1 to both sides of the equation. The equation will look like [tex]8x-3x^2+1=0[/tex].

Then, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions to the equation. The quadratic formula looks like [tex]\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex].

For this problem, the quadratic variables are as follows:

[tex]a=-3\\b=8\\c=1[/tex]

The next step is to substitute the values [tex]a=-3[/tex], [tex]b=8[/tex], and [tex]c=1[/tex] into the quadratic formula and solve for x. The quadratic formula will look like [tex]\frac{-8(+-)\sqrt{8^2-4(-3)(1)} }{2*-3}[/tex]. To simplify the equation, start by simplifying the numerator, which will look like [tex]x=\frac{-8(+-)2\sqrt{19} }{2*-3}[/tex]. Then, multiply 2 by -3 and simplify the equation, which will look like [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex]. The final answer is [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex] in exact form. In decimal form, the final answer is [tex]x=2.7863[/tex], [tex]x=-0.1196[/tex].

  AC = 2AB = 2(8) = 16

Answer:

(1,0) and (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(x) will cross the x axis, the y coordinate will turn 0, so 0=-5^(x)+5, 5=5^(x) Which is possible when x=1. So (1,0)

When f(x) will cross the y axis, the x coordinate will turn 0, so f(0)=-5^(0)+5, f(0)=-1+5=4. So (0,4)

Answer:

8x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 2 numbers means add the two numbers and divide by 2

(y+z)/2 = 5x

Let z = 2x+3

(y+2x+3)/2 = 5x

Multiply each side by 2

y+2x+3 = 10x

Subtract 2x from each side

y+3 = 10x-2x

y+3 = 8x

Subtract 3

y = 8x-3

The other number is 8x-3

  f(7) = 154

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic idea is you put 7 where x is and do the arithmetic.

Polynomial evaluation is sometimes easier if you rewrite it to Horner form.

  f(x) = (4x -7)x +7

  f(7) = (4·7 -7)(7) +7 = 21(7) +7 = 147 +7

  f(7) = 154

Answer:

25, 33

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the one with equal sides be x

third side = x+8

x+x+x+8 = 83

3x+8 = 83

3x = 75

x = 25

x+8 = 25+8 = 33

Answer:

(3 × 25)/5 marbles can go in each bag

Explanation:

Number of bags Regina has = 3

Number of marbles in each bag = 25

So, total number of marbles = 3 × 25

Number of marbles in each bag, if divided equally into 5 bags = (3 × 25)/5

Further:

Solving the expression,

(3 × 25)/5

= 75/5

= 15

So, the each bag has 15 marbles if they are equally divided into 5 bags.

Answer:

(25 x 3) / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to do 25 x 3 to get the total amount of marbles. Then you have to divide that by the amount of bags.

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Proportional Transversal Theorem, the three parallel lines hat intersects the two transversals, divides the transversal lines proportionally.

Therefore, we would have the following ratio:

28/35 = ?/50

Cross multiply

35*? = 50*28

35*? = 1,400

Divide both sides by 35

? = 1400/35

? = 40

For this question, we need to simplify some radicals and combine like terms. One thing for sure that should be noticed is the fact that both of these radicals are going to be imaginary, as they both have negatives inside of them.

Let's simplify the radicals:

√-2 =                   ← Note the negative

i√2

√-18 =                  ← Note the negative here as well

i√18 =

i√2·3·3 =

i√2·3² =

3i√2

Now, all we have to do is combine like terms:

i√2 + 3i√2 = 4i√2

Answer:

a. 0.4129 = 41.29% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest.

b. 0.1867 = 18.67% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest.

c. 0.0742 = 7.42% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest.

d. An interest payment of $35.2 is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

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.

Mean of 27 dollars and a standard deviation of 9 dollars.

This means that [tex]\mu = 27, \sigma = 9[/tex]

A. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 29, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{29 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.22[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5871.

1 - 0.5871 = 0.4129

0.4129 = 41.29% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest.

B. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 35, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{35 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.89[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.89[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8133.

1 - 0.8133 = 0.1867

0.1867 = 18.67% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest.

C. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 14. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{14 - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.445[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.445[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0742.

0.0742 = 7.42% of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 14 dollars in interest.

D. What interest payment is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders?

This is the 100 - 18 = 82nd percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.82, so X when Z = 0.915.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]0.915 = \frac{X - 27}{9}[/tex]

[tex]X - 27 = 0.915*9[/tex]

[tex]X = 35.2[/tex]

An interest payment of $35.2 is exceeded by only 18% of the bank's Visa cardholders.

Answer:

P( own a dog) = people said yes / total

                       = 152 / 370

Answer:

? = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: when 2 transversal lines cuts across 3 parallel lines, the parallel lines are divided proportionally by the transversals.

Therefore:

?/10 = 3/6

Cross multiply

?*6 = 3*10

?*6 = 30

Divide both sides by 6

? = 30/6

? = 5

Answer:

The family of directions of the given vector is represented by [tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, vector stands in the 4th Quadrant ([tex]x > 0[/tex], [tex]y < 0[/tex]) and direction of the vector ([tex]\theta[/tex]) in sexagesimal degrees, is determined by following definition:

[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ} - \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{|y|}{|x|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex]

Please notice that angle represents a function with a periodicity of 360°.

If we know that [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]y = -3[/tex], then the direction of the vector is:

[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ}-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{|-3|}{|4|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex]

The family of directions of the given vector is represented by [tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex].

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.2262 > 0.02, which means that the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

An automobile manufacturer has given its jeep a 51.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of 51.3, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 51.3[/tex]

An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating.

This means that at the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 51.3, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \neq 51.3[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

51.3 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 51.3[/tex]

After testing 230 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 51.1. Assume the population variance is known to be 6.25.

This means that [tex]n = 230, X = 51.1, \sigma = \sqrt{6.25} = 2.5[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{51.1 - 51.3}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{230}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = -1.21[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of the sample mean differing from 51.1 by at least 0.2, which is P(|z| > 1.21), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -1.21.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.21 has a p-value of 0.1131.

2*0.1131 = 0.2262

The p-value of the test is 0.2262 > 0.02, which means that the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.
