Well it sounds like you would have to multiply by 2, which is the amount of roofers, then subtract 12.

10 x 2 = 20

20 - 12 = 8

Hope this helped.

Evaluate the function f(x) = –2x2 – 3x + 5 for the input value –3.
Novosadov [1.4K]
Just so u know, ur output value is f(x) and ur input value is x

f(x) = -2x^2 - 3x + 5....when ur input value(x) is -3

f(-3) = -2(-3^2) - 3(-3) + 5 =
f(-3) = -2(9) + 9 + 5
f(-3) = -18 + 14
f(-3) = -4 <==

Which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?
QveST [7]
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... "  This implies that you were given several answer choices.  If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.

I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division.  See below:

f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.  Thanks.

Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35:  plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7.  Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case.  If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them:  5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.

Provided that you have copied down the function 
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35  properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly.  Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.

By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2.  There is another root.

Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:

         ___________________________
7/2   /   6    -21    -4    24    -35
                   21      0   -14     35           
        ----------- ------------------------------
           6        0     -4    10       0

Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial.  Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.

A paint manufacturer made a modification to a paint to speed up its drying time. Independent simple random samples of 11 cans of
nydimaria [60]

This question is incomplete. I got the complete part (the boldened part) of it from google as:

The following 98% confidence interval was obtained for μ1 - μ2, the difference between the mean drying time for paint cans of type A and the mean drying time for paint cans of type B:

4.90 hrs < μ1 - μ2 < 17.50 hrs.

Answer:

A paint manufacturer made a modification to a paint to speed up its drying time. Independent simple random samples of 11 cans of type A​ (the original​ paint) and 9 cans of type B​ (the modified​ paint) were selected and applied to similar surfaces. The drying​ times, in​ hours, were recorded. The summary statistics are as follows. Type A Type B x 1x1equals=76.3 hr x 2x2equals=65.1 hr s 1s1equals=4.5 hr s 2s2equals=5.1 hr n 1n1equals=11 n 2n2equals=9 The following​ 98% confidence interval was obtained for mu 1μ1minus−mu 2μ2​, the difference between the mean drying time for paint cans of type A and the mean drying time for paint cans of type B. What does the confidence interval suggest about the population​ means?

The mean difference for the 98% confidence interval, the drying times of the two types of paints are (4.90, 17.50). This implies that Type A paint takes between 4.90 and 17.50 hours more to dry than type B paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean difference for the 98% confidence interval, the drying times of the two types of paints are (4.90, 17.50). This implies that Type A paint takes between 4.90 and 17.50 hours more to dry than type B paint.

Only positive values comprise the confidence interval which suggests that the mean drying time for paint type A is greater than the mean drying time for paint type B. The modification appears to be effective in reducing drying times.

Which is the correct interpretation of the x-intercepts of
stira [4]

Answer:

The <em>x</em>-intercept would be at the point where there are 0 downloads in <em>x</em> days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>x</em>-intercept of a function is the point where the graph of the function crosses the <em>x-</em>axis and the <em>y</em>-coordinate is 0.

That is, the point (<em>x</em>, 0) is the <em>x</em>-intercept of a function.

In this case the data provided is for the number of free downloads using the promo code (f (x), in tens of  thousands) and the time since  posting (<em>x</em> days).

So, in this case the <em>x</em>-intercept would be at the point where there are 0 downloads in <em>x</em> days.
