Factor each quadratic expressionx^2-2x-15

Answers

Answer 1

When we are factoring a quadratic function, we are trying to reverse the following equation

[tex](x+a)(x+b)=x^2+(a+b)x+ab[/tex]

Now, comparing the right-hand side of the above equation and the one given in the problem we see that

[tex]\begin{gathered} a+b=-2 \\ ab=-15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

This means the question simplifies to "what are the two numbers that if I add them I get -2 and if I multiply them I get -15? "

Well, If we set a = -5 and b = 3, then

[tex]\begin{gathered} -5+3=-2 \\ -5\cdot3=-15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, our expression factors to

[tex](x-5)(x+3)[/tex]

c.) 5x – 50 = y and 4x – 46 = y
d.) 5 – 50x = y and 4 – 46x = y

Answers

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at Enrique:

He starts with $50 and every time he buys lunch his account goes down by 5.  The y would represent how much money he has left in his account.

So, say he buys 3 lunches how much is in his account if he started with 50?

50 - 5-5-5 = 35

Use the equation

50 - 5(3) = y

50 - 15 = y

35 = y

The slope of segment AB is equal to the slope of the segment BC.

Explanation

Similar triangles have the same set of interior angles.

And it is one these angles, that determines the slope of the line segment AB or BC.

For the two triangles, that angle is the same because they are similar triangles.

Find the Standard deviation of 2, 2.6, 3.2, 4.3 5, 4.7, 6.2​

Answers

The most appropriate choice for standard deviation will be given by-

Standard deviation is 1.41

What is Variance and standard deviation?

At first, it is important to know about mean of a data.

Mean gives the average value of the data.

Variance is calculated by taking the sum of the square of deviation of each value of the data set and then dividing the sum by the total number of values of the data set.

On taking the square root of the variance, we will obtain the standard deviation of the data set.

Here,

The data set is 2, 2.6, 3.2, 4.35, 4.7, 6.2

Mean = [tex]\frac{2 + 2.6 + 3.2 + 4.35 + 4.7 + 6.2}{6}[/tex]

          = 3.84

Variance = [tex]\frac{(2-3.84)^2+(2.6-3.84)^2+(3.2-3.84)^2+(4.35-3.84)^2+(4.7-3.84)^2+(6.2-3.84)^2}{6}[/tex]

               = [tex]\frac{11.9021}{6}[/tex]

               = [tex]1.983[/tex]

Standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{1.983}[/tex]

                                = 1.41

a + b - 8 = p solve for a

Answers

Answer:

a = −b + p + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b - 8 = p solve for a

a + b - 8 = p

subtract b from both sides:

a + b - 8  - b = p - b

a - 8 = p - b

add 8 to both sides:

a - 8 + 8 = p - b + 8

a = p - b + 8

rearrange for alphabetical order:

a = −b + p + 8

Answer:

a = p + 8 - b

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 8 both sides

[tex]\displaystyle{a+b-8+8=p+8}\\\\\displaystyle{a+b=p+8}[/tex]

Step 2: Subtract b both sides

[tex]\displaystyle{a+b-b=p+8-b}\\\\\displaystyle{a=p+8-b}[/tex]

Note: You can also subtract b both sides first then add 8 both sides.

Therefore, the new equation when a-term is the subject is [tex]a=8+p-b[/tex].

Rotate the shape as described.

. The ordered pair for C' is

Answers

By applying a rotation of 180° counterclockwise to triangle ABC, we have the following:

The ordered pair for A' is (4, 0).The ordered pair for B' is (7, 2).The ordered pair for C' is (9, 9).

What is a rotation?

A rotation can be defined as a type of transformation which moves every point of the object through a number of degrees around a given point, which can either be clockwise or counterclockwise (anticlockwise) direction.

In Geometry, rotating a point 180° about the origin in a clockwise or counterclockwise (anticlockwise) direction would produce a point that has the coordinates (-x, -y).

By applying a rotation of 180° counterclockwise (anticlockwise) to triangle ABC, the coordinate of the image of triangle A'B'C' is given by:

(x, y)                         →               (-x, -y)

Points at A = (-4, 0)   →  Points at A' = (-(-4), -(0)) = (4, 0)

Points at B = (-7, -2)   →  Points at B' = (-(-7), -(-2)) = (7, 2).

Points at C = (-7, -2)   →  Points at C' = (-(-9), -(-9)) = (9, 9).

the length of pregnancy isn't always the same. in pigs, the length of pregnancies varies according to a normal distribution with mean 114 days and standard deviation 5 days. what percent of pig pregnancies are longer than 109 days?

Answers

95.61 percent of pig pregnancies are longer than 109 days with 0.8413 probability.

A standard normal distribution or z-table can be used to approximate the probability of multiple ranges of values for a random normal variable X with a particular mean and standard deviation. This method entails changing X to a typical normal variable Z.

The normal, random variable X equals the length of pregnancy.

The mean and standard deviation are then calculated.

u, Mean = 114 days

σ, Standard deviation = 5 days

Then, as follows, transform X to its standard normal variable:

Z = (X - u) ÷ σ

Z = (X - 114) ÷ 5

To determine the likelihood of a pregnancy lasting more than 109 days,

P(X ≤ 109) = P(Z ≤ 114 - 109 ÷ 5)

P(X ≤ 109) = P(Z ≤ 1)

P(Z ≤ 1) = 0.8413 when using a typical normal distribution or z-table.

The percentage of pig pregnancies that last more than 109 days,

P = (109 ÷ 114) × 100

the graph represents the total number of plants and number of seed packets used. what i’d the constant of proportionality?

Answers

The constant of proportionality is 10 in the given graph which represents the total number of plants and number of seed packets used.

What is proportionality?

Equivalence between two ratios is referred to as proportionality in algebra. A and B are in the same proportion as C and D in the expression a/b = c/d. When one of a proportion's four quantities is unknown, a proportion is typically used to solve a word problem.

It is resolved by multiplying one numerator by the opposing denominator and equating the result to that of the other numerator and denominator. Any relationship that always has the same ratio is referred to as proportional.

For instance, the ratio of proportionality is the average number of apples per tree, and the quantity of apples in a crop is proportional to the number of trees in the orchard.

Here, when number of seeds packet is 1 plants are 10 and when seeds packet are 5 plants are 50, we can divide each of the variables to find the constant,

10/1 = 10

20/2 = 10

30/3 = 10

Thus, constant is 10 represented as y = kx

where y = no. of plants = 30

k = 10

x = no. of seeds packet = 3

Source bias is the propensity to favor sources of information that corroborate or contradict a certain set of views or values.

When systematic inaccuracy is added to sampling or testing during research, bias emerges. This happens when one outcome or response is preferred over others. Bias can appear at any stage of the research process, including study design, data collection, data analysis, and publication.

Diana severs breakfast to two groups of children at a daycare center. One box of Oaties contains 12 cups of cereal. She needs ⅓ cup for each younger child and ¾ cup for each older child. Is one box of Oaties enough for everyone

Answers

One box of oaties will be enough for two groups of children.

We can state the box of oaties is enough for everyone, if the amount required by number of children in each group is less than or equal to 12.

So, amount of cereal required by younger/older children = amount required by one child × number of children

Amount of cereal required by younger children = 1/3 × 11

Amount of cereal required by younger children = 11/3 cups of cereal

Amount of cereal required by older children = 3/4 × 10

Amount of cereal required by younger children = 15/2 cups of cereal

Amount of cereal = 12 - (11/3 + 15/2)

Taking LCM in the bracket, we get 6

Amount of cereal = 12 - (11×2 + 15×3/6)

Solving the bracket

Amount of cereal = 12 - (22 + 45/6)

Performing addition = 12 - (67/6)

Amount of cereal = (12×6 - 67)/6

Amount of cereal = 72 - 67/6

Performing subtraction in numerator

Amount of cereal = 5/6

As 5/6 cups of cereal is remaining, thus, a box of oaties will be enough for 11 younger children and 10 older children.
