Answer:

3x³ - 14x² - 7x + d = (x + 1)(ax² + bx + c)

--------------------------

(x + 1)(ax² + bx + c)

= ax³ + bx² + cx + ax² + bx + c

= ax³ + (a + b)x² + (b + c)x + c

--------------------------

ax³ + (a + b)x² + (b + c)x + c = 3x³ - 14x² - 7x + d

=> a = 3

a + b = -14

b + c = -7

c = d

=> a = 3, b = -17, c = 10, d = 10

An electrical engineer has on hand two boxes of resistors, with five resistors in each box. The resistors in the first box are l

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that an electrical engineer has on hand two boxes of resistors, with five resistors in each box. The resistors in the first box are labeled 10 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 ohms. The resistors in the second box are labeled 20 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 ohms. The EE chooses one resistor from each box and determines the resistance of each

Sample space for selecting one resistor from first box

= {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

A = {11,12,13} (because >10)

Sample space for selecting one resistor from second box

={18,19,20,21,22}

B={18}

Sample space for sum would be

{27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35}

C = {(9,19) , (10,18)}

What is the volume of this pyramid? 945 cm³ 1260 cm³ 1890 cm³ 2520 cm³ A pyramid with a right triangular base. The right triangu

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The volume of the pyramid is $1,260\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

where

B is the area of the triangular base

H is the height of the pyramid

step 1

Find the area of the base B

$B=\frac{1}{2}bh$

we have

$b=14\ cm$

$h=18\ cm$

substitute

$B=\frac{1}{2}(14)(18)=126\ cm^{2}$

step 2

Find the volume

we have

$B=126\ cm^{2}$

$H=30\ cm$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

$V=\frac{1}{3}(126)(30)=1,260\ cm^{3}$

You work forty hours a week at a furniture store. You receive a 1,200 dollar weekly salary, plus a 4.1% commision on sales over

Pachacha [2.7K]

If you call x the total value of the sales, the sale over 12,000 will be: g(x) = 12,000 - x.

And the commission is 4.1% of that = 0.041 * (12,000 - x) = 0.041 * g(x)

So, if f(x) = 0.041x, to calculate the commission you first have to calculate g(x) = 12,000 - x, and the f(g(x))=0.041[12,000 - x].

Which leads you to the solution for the commission as [f o g] (x) = f (g(x)) = 0.041 (12,000 - x).

Answer: [ f o g] (x)

Use a normal approximation to find the probability of the indicated number of voters. In this case assume that 150 eligible vote

alexdok [17]

The number of people who voted follows a binomial distribution with probability of having voted $p=0.22$ and $n=150$ subjects, which means the approximating normal distribution should have mean $np=33$ and standard deviation $\sqrt{np(1-p)}\approx5.07$ .

With the continuity correction, you have

$\mathbb P(X$

A 2-column table has 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2. The second column is la

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

f(x) = 3(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The Table is:

-2 3/4

-1 3/2

0 3

1 6

2 12

The exponential funtion has the next form:

f(x) = a(b)^x

At x = 0, f(x) = a. Then, a = 3

Isolating b from the equation:

f(x)/a = b^x

ln(f(x)/a) = x*ln(b)

[ln(f(x)/a)]/x = ln(b)

At x = 1, f(x) = 6. Then:

[ln(6/3)]/1 = ln(b)

ln(2) = ln(b)

2 = b

Therefore, the function is f(x) = 3(2)^x
