If you would like to know what numbers are in the solution set of this problem, you can calculate this using the following steps:

the number ... n 

2/5 * (n - 1) < 3/5 * (n + 1)
2/5 * n - 2/5 < 3/5 * n + 3/5
- 2/5 - 3/5 < 3/5 * n - 2/5 * n
- 5/5 < 1/5 * n
- 1 < 1/5 * n      /*5
- 5 < n
n > - 5

n = x

The correct result would be B) <span>x > - 5.</span>

What is the completely factored form of the expression 16x2 + 8x + 32?
allochka39001 [22]
<span>8 is a common factor for all coeficients so we factor it out first: 8(2x^2 + x + 4). Now we have to check can we factor the quadratic equasion in the brackets to linear factors. To do that we need to check is the discriminant D=b^2 - 4ac > 0 where a=2, b=1 and c=4. When we insert our numbers, we get: D= -31. We see that D < 0 so 8(2x^2 + x + 4) is the completely factored form.</span>

Find the binomial coefficient: 2012/2011
seropon [69]
 ²⁰¹²C₂₀₁₁ = (2012)! / [(2011)! (2012-2011)!]

²⁰¹²C₂₀₁₁ = (2012)! / [(2011)! (1)!]

Simplify 2012! / (2011)! = 2012

²⁰¹²C₂₀₁₁ = (2012)! / (1)!  = 2012

choose the equivalent system of linear equations that will produce the same solution as the one given below. 4x − 2y = 6 2x y =
Julli [10]
<span>4x − 2y = 6 . . . . . (1)
2x + y = 5 . . . . . (2)

(2) x 2 => 4x + 2y = 10 . . . . . (3)

(1) - (3) gives: -4y = -4
y = -4/-4 = 1

From (2), 2x + 1 = 5 => 2x = 5 -1 = 4
x = 4/2 = 2

Solution is (2, 1)

Substituting the solution into the options gives that
</span><span>−4x − 2y = 10
−4y = 4 −4x
has the same solution.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The correct option is;

(B) Yes, because sampling distributions of population proportions are modeled with a normal model.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the condition for normality being that where we have a population with a given mean and standard deviation, while a sufficiently large sample is drawn from the population while being replaced, the distribution of the sample mean p will be distributed normally according to central limit theorem.

GaryK [48]
Hello IdontKnowHowToMath,

first, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 3%/100 = 0.03 per year.

Solving our equation:
A = 6000(1 + (0.03 × 4)) = 6720
A = $6,720.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $6,000.00 at a rate of 3% per year for 4 years is $6,720.00.
