Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property? Select each correct answer.
LekaFEV [45]
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.

For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to: (x-3)(x+4)=0

Through zero property we know that the factor (x-3) can be equal to zero as well as (x+4). This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.

The zero product property is best applied to factorable quadratic equations in this case.

Another factorable equation would be 2x^{2}+6x=0 since we can factor out 2x and end up with 2x(x+3)=0. Now we'll end up with two factors, 2x and (x+3), which we can apply the zero product property to.

The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.

A random sample of 50 units is drawn from a production process every half hour. the true fraction of nonconforming products manu
Naya [18.7K]

solution:

The probability mass function for binomial distribution is,

 

Where,

X=0,1,2,3,…..; q=1-p

find the probability that (p∧ ≤ 0.06) , substitute the values of sample units (n) , and the probability of nonconformities (p) in the probability mass function of binomial distribution.

Consider x   to be the number of non-conformities. It follows a binomial distribution with n   being 50 and p  being 0.03. That is,

binomial (50,0.02)

Also, the estimate of the true probability is,

p∧  = x/50

The probability mass function for binomial distribution is,

 

Where,

X=0,1,2,3,…..; q=1-p

The calculation is obtained as

P(p^ ≤ 0.06) = p(x/20 ≤ 0.06)

         = 50cx ₓ (0.03)x ₓ (1-0.03)50-x  

=    (50c0 ₓ (0.03)0 ₓ (1-0.03)50-0 + 50c1(0.03)1 ₓ (1-0.03)50-1 + 50c2 ₓ (0.03)2 ₓ (1-0.03)50-2 +50c3 ₓ      (0.03)3 ₓ (1- 0.03)50-3 )

=(   ₓ (0.03)0 ₓ (1-0.03)50-0 +  ₓ (0.03)1 ₓ (1-0.03)50-1 +   ₓ (0.03)2 ₓ (1-0.03)50-2   ₓ (0.03)3 ₓ (1-0.03)50-3 )

Your utility company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. What is the daily cost of keeping lit a 75 watt light bu
Tresset [83]

we know that

1 Kw=1000 w

The company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity

13 cents=0.13 dollars\\\\ 75w=\frac{75}{1000} kw\\\\ 15w=\frac{15}{1000} kw

Step 1

Find the cost for the light bulb

a) in one day

\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*0.9

Cost=$0.117

b) In a year

\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\  hour

0.9*365=328.5\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*328.5

Cost=$42.71

Step 2

Find the cost for the led bulb

a) in one day

\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*0.18

Cost=$0.0234

b) In a year

\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\  hour

0.18*365=65.7\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*65.7

Cost=$8.54

Step 3

Find the difference in cost

Save=42.71-8.54\\ Save=34.17 dollars

therefore

the answer is

34.17 dollars

The function D(t) defines a traveler's distance from home, in miles, as a function of time, in hours. D(t) = StartLayout enlarge
nalin [4]

- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home.

- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 880 miles. --> TRUE.

- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles --> TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function D(t) is defined as follows:

D(t) = 300t+125 for t< 2.5

D(t) = 880 for 2.5 \leq 3.5

D(t) = 75t+612.5 for t\leq 6

Where

t is the time in hours

D(t) is the distance covered, in miles, after t hours

Now let's analyze the different statements:

- The starting distance, at 0 hours, is 300 miles. --> FALSE. In fact, if we substitute t = 0 into the 1st equation, we get

D(0) = (300)(0)+125 = 125

So, the distance at t = 0 is 125 miles.

- At 2 hours, the traveler is 725 miles from home. --> TRUE. In fact, if we substitute t = 2 into the 1st equation,

D(2) = (300)(2)+125 = 725

- At 2.5 hours, the traveler is 875 miles from home. --> FALSE. In fact, for t=2.5 we have to use the 2nd equation, which states that the distance is:

D(t) = 880

So, not 875 miles.

- At 3 hours, the distance is constant, at 880 miles. --> TRUE. This is clearly visible from the 2nd equation: for t between 2.5 and 3.5 (so, in this case), the distance is

D(t) = 880

- The total distance from home after 6 hours is 1,062.5 miles --> TRUE. In fact, if we replace t = 6 into the last equation,

D(6)) = 75(6)+612.5=1062.5
