Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(0) = f(5) = f(8) = 0, we have f(x) = Ax(x - 5)(x - 8), where A is a real constant.

We know that f(10) = 17.

=> A(10)(10 - 5)(10 - 8) = 17

=> A(10)(5)(2) = 17

=> 100A = 17, A = 0.17.

Hence the answer is f(x) = 0.17x(x - 5)(x - 8).

Find the perimeter of △CDE. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. The perimeter is about units.

Troyanec [42]

Answer: $9.66\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle CDE is shown in the image attached.

The formula for calculate the distance between two points is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Then, we can calculate the lenght of each side of the triangle:

$d_{CD}=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(-5-(-1))^2}=4\ units\\\\d_{DE}=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(-5-(-3))^2}=2.828\ units\\\\d_{CE}=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(-3-(-1))^2}=2.828\ units$

Therefore, the perimeter is:

$P=4\ units+ 2.828\ units+2.828\ units=9.66\ units$

A certain firm has plants a, b, and c producing respectively 35\%, 15\%, and 50\% of the total output. The probabilities of a no

TEA [102]

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant A is

... 0.35·0.25 = 0.0875

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant B is

... 0.15·0.05 = 0.0075

The proportion of production that is defective and from plant C is

... 0.50·0.15 = 0.075

Thus, the proportion of defective product that is from plant C is

... 0.075/(0.0875 +0.0075 +0.075) = 75/170 = 15/34 ≈ 44.12%

_____

P(C | defective) = P(C&defective)/P(defective)

Peter buys tickets for his family to see his favorite movie, Elephant Mistake. He pays $37.50 for 2 adult tickets and 2 student

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

the price of adult ticket and student ticket be $10.50 and $8.25 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the price of adult ticket be x

And, the price of student ticket be y

Now according to the question

2x + 2y = $37.50

x + 3y = $35.25

x = $35.25 - 3y

Put the value of x in the first equation

2($35.25 - 3y) + 2y = $37.50

$70.50 - 6y + 2y = $37.50

-4y = $37.50 - $70.50

-4y = -$33

y = $8.25

Now x = $35.25 - 3($8.25)

= $10.5

Hence, the price of adult ticket and student ticket be $10.50 and $8.25 respectively
