<h3>
The correct exercise is attached.</h3>
The equation given is:

The steps to find the value of "x" are shown below:
1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

2. Descompose 9 and 27 into their prime factors:

3. Substitute them into the equation:

4. Knowing that If
, then
, we get:

5. Apply Distributive property:

6. Add 2 to both sides:

7. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

Answer:
Linearly, because the table shows that the sunflowers increased by the same amount each month
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the table

Note that months change one-by-one (21-1, 3-2=1, 4-3=1).
Also
![17.2-15=2.2\ [\text{from month 1 to month 2}]\\ \\19.4-17.2=2.2\ [\text{from month 2 to month 3}]\\ \\21.6-19.4=2.2\ [\text{from month 3 to month 4}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=17.2-15%3D2.2%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7Bfrom%20month%201%20to%20month%202%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C19.4-17.2%3D2.2%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7Bfrom%20month%202%20to%20month%203%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C21.6-19.4%3D2.2%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7Bfrom%20month%203%20to%20month%204%7D%5D)
This means the number of sunflowers increases linearly, because the table shows that the sunflowers increased by the same amount each month
Answer:
The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = 0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A machine shop produces heavy duty high endurance 20-inch rods
On occasion, the machine malfunctions and produces a groove or a chisel cut mark somewhere on the rod.
If such defective rods can be cut so that there is at least 15 consecutive inches without a groove.
Then; The defective rod can be salvaged if the groove lies on the rod between 0 and 5 inches i.e ( 20 - 15 )inches
Now:
P(X ≤ 5) = 
= 0.25
P(X ≥ 15) = 
= 0.25
The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = P(X ≤ 5) + P(X ≥ 15)
= 0.25+0.25
= 0.50
∴ The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = 0.50
Let the variable of the equation be x.
I'm gonna go backwards of the factorization process.
Given,
x = 11 or 3
(x - 11)(x - 3) = 0
x² -3x -11x + 33 = 0
x² -14x + 33 = 0
Hence, f(x) = x² - 14x + 33.
