what is the value of x

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2} -5x-6}{x^{2} -4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's factorize the 1st option :

⇒ [tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2} -5x-6}{x^{2} -4}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2}+x-6x-6 }{(x+2)(x-2)}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]f(x) = \frac{(x+1)(x-6)}{(x+2)(x-2)}[/tex]

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

Finding the zeros :

⇒ Factors of numerator should be equated to 0

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

Solution :

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2} -5x-6}{x^{2} -4}[/tex]

Answer:

first option

Step-by-step explanation:

the zeros are determined by the numerator of the rational function.

given that the zeros are x = - 1 and x = 6 , then the corresponding factors are

(x + 1) and (x - 6) , that is

(x + 1)(x - 6) ← expand using FOIL

= x² - 5x - 6

the rational function is then

f(x) = [tex]\frac{x^2-5x-6}{x^2-4}[/tex]

Answer:

-2 =w

Step-by-step explanation:

9(w – 4) – 7w = 5(3w – 2)

The first step is to distribute

9w -36 - 7w = 15w -10

Combine like terms

2w -36 = 15w -10

Subtract 2w from each side

2w -36 -2w = 15w-10-2w

-36 = 13w -10

Add 10 to each side

-36+10 =13w-10+1-

-26 = 13w

Divide by 13

-26/13 =13w/13

-2 =w

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The percentage decrease is 20%.

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

One year, the population of a city was 358,000. Several years later it was 286,400. Therefore, the percentage decrease is,

Percentage decrease = (358,000-286,400)/(358,000) × 100% = 20%

Hence, the percentage decrease is 20%.

50 students preferred science...

Explanation:

we can consider the numbers 5 and 4 in the ratio as units

now we need to know how much each unit represent

units = 5 + 4 = 9

my sample = 90 students

each unit = 90/9 = 10 students

so each unit represents 10 students

back to the ratio

who preferred science = 5

who preferred English = 4

Number of students choose Science = 5 * 10 = 50

As ABCD has two pairs of opposite parallel sides, ABCD is a parallelogram.

The range of the function is {-34, -2, -20}

The function is given as:

f(x) = -2x^2 - 2

The domain is {-4, 0, 3}

Substitute the domain values in the function.

f(-4) = -2(-4)^2 - 2 = -34

f(0) = -2(0)^2 - 2 = -2

f(3) = -2(3)^2 - 2 = -20

This means that the range of the function is {-34, -2, -20}

The probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP is 0.99979

To determine the probability, we need to first find the probability of doing well with ESP.

The probability of having 20 correct answers out of 23 coin flips is:

[tex]\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}}[/tex]

Since we have 20 correct answers, we also need to find the probability of getting 3 answers wrong, which is:

There are [tex](^{23}_{20})[/tex] = 1771 ways to get 20 correct answers out of 23.

Therefore, the probability of doing well with ESP is:

[tex]\mathbf{= 1771 \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}} \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}[/tex]

Answer:

w=2  w = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

w^2 + 7w - 18 = 0

We can factor this equation

What 2 numbers multiply to -18 and add to 7

9*-2 = -18

9+-2 = 7

(w-2) (w+9) = 0

Using the zero product property

w-2 = 0    w+9 =0

w=2  w = -9

Answer:

[tex]w_1=2\\w_2=-9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is going to be solved using the quadratic formula.

1. Determine the quadratic equation’s coefficient [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex].

Use the standard form, [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]  , to find the coefficients of our equation,

[tex]w^2+7w-18=0[/tex]:

a = 1

b = 7

c = -18

2. Plug these coefficients into the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula gives us the roots for  [tex]aw^2+bw+c=0[/tex] , in which [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] are numbers (or coefficients), as follows:

[tex]w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

7 additional steps:

a = 1

b = 7

c = -18

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{7^2=4*1*-18} }{2*1}[/tex]

Simplify exponents and square roots

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*1*-18} }{2*1}[/tex]

Perform any multiplication or division, from left to right:

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*-18}}{2*1}\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49--72}}{2*1}\\\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49+72}}{2*1}\\w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{121}}{2*1}[/tex]

to get the result:

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-4*-18}}{2}[/tex]

3. Simplify square root [tex]\sqrt{121}[/tex]

Simplify 121 by finding its prime factors:

121 ( 11 * 11)

The prime factorization of 121 is 11^2

Write the prime factors:

[tex]\sqrt{121}=\sqrt{11\cdot 11}[/tex]

Group the prime factors into pairs and rewrite them in exponent form:

'[tex]\sqrt{11\cdot 11}=\sqrt{11^2}[/tex]

Use the rule [tex]\sqrt{x^2=x}[/tex]  to simplify further:

[tex]\sqrt{11^2}=11[/tex]

4. Solve the equation for w

[tex]w=\frac{-7\pm11}{2}[/tex]

The ±  means two answers are possible.

Separate the equations:

[tex]w_1=\frac{(-7+11)}{2}[/tex] and [tex]w_2=\frac{-7-11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=\frac{-7+11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_1=2[/tex]

[tex]w_2=\frac{-7-11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_2=\frac{-18}{2}[/tex]

[tex]w_2=-9[/tex]

Mean of sample is;

Mean = (105 + 107 + 117 + 106 + 110)/5

Mean; x' = 109

From online standard deviation calculator, the standard deviation of the sample is; S = 4.848

Now, the claim is that your team scored an average significantly less than 110 points. Thus, let's define the hypothesis as;

Null Hypothesis; μ = 110

Alternative Hypothesis; μ < 110

standard error of the mean; S_m = S/√n

S_m = 4.848/5

S_m = 2.17

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the money after 27 years will be $4800.

The quantity of money anyone has is termed as the amount. The solution to the question is given as follows:-

Given that investments double every 9 years and you start with a $600 investment. how much money would you have after 27 years?

We know that the amount is getting double in every 9 years so the number of times the amount will get doubled will be = 27 / 9 = 3

Future amount = 600(1+1)³

Future amount  = 600 ( 2 )³

The probability that sample the proportion of adults with hypertension is greater than 0.5 is 0.090

The given parameters are:

p = 47%

Sample size, n =500

The standard deviation is calculated as:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1 - p)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{500 * 47\%(1 - 47\%)[/tex]

Evaluate

σ = 11.16

The number of adults with hypertension is calculated as:

x = 500 * 0.5 = 250

And the mean is:

μ = 500 * 0.47 = 235

Start by calculating the z-score

[tex]z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]z = \frac{250 - 235}{11.16}[/tex]

Evaluate

z = 1.34

The probability is then calculated as:

P(z >1.34) = ??

From z table of probabilities, we have:

P(z >1.34) =  0.090

Hence, the probability that sample the proportion of adults with hypertension is greater than 0.5 is 0.090

Substitute

c² = 2² + (5√3)² - 2abcos30
c² = 4 + 75 - 2(2)(5√3)*√3/2

Choices A, C and D have repeated x values. It allows us to rule them out.

Table A has x = 6 repeating. Table C has x = 3 and x = -3 repeated. Table D has x = 4 and x = 5 show up twice each.

Whenever we have repeated x values, it indicates we do not have a function. A function is only possible when each x value goes to exactly one y value only.

Table A has the input x = 6 lead to y = 2 and y = -2 at the same time. Table C and table D are a similar story. So this is another way to rule out choices A, C and D.

Luckily table B has no repeated x values. Each x input leads to exactly one and only one y output. Therefore, table B is a function.

Side Note: the y values can repeat, but the function won't be one-to-one.

Answer:

The measure of the central angle is 89.95 degree or 1.57 radians if the radius of the circle is 7 cm.

It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the centre of a circle)

We have a  length of an arc of a circle of radius 7 is approximately 10.99 cm.

The radius r = 7 cm

The arc length l = 10.99 cm

We know,

l = rθ

θ is the central angle.

θ = l/r  = 10.99/7 = 1.57 radians

To convert 1.57 radians into the degree multiply it by 180/π

θ = 89.95 degree

Thus, the measure of the central angle is 89.95 degree or 1.57 radians if the radius of the circle is 7 cm.
