He could draw a diagram of a rectangle with dimensions x – 1 and x – 6 and then show the area is equivalent to the sum of x2, –x, –6x, and 6.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Brent uses a rectangle that models the area = (x² - 7x + 6)

Now we will factorize this expression

x² - 7x + 6 = x² - 6x - x + 6

= x(x - 6) - 1(x - 6)

= (x - 1)(x - 6)

Therefore, (x -1) and (x - 6) will represent the sides of a rectangle so that multiplication of the sides will model the area of the rectangle.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

-40 < t < 284

Step-by-step explanation:

The antifreeze protects the car between −40°C and 140°C.

Using t for temperature, the compound inequality of the Celsius temperature range is:

-40 < t < 140

The conversion formula is given to find degrees C in given degrees F. We can solve the formula for F, so we get degrees F in terms of degrees C.

C = (5/9)(F - 32) <------ conversion formula from deg F to deg C

Solve for F:

(9/5)C = F - 32

(9/5)C + 32 = F

F = (9/5)C + 32 <------ conversion formula from deg C to deg F

Now we convert -40 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(-40) + 32

F = -72 + 32

F = -40

-40 deg C = -40 deg F

(This is not a mistake or a typo. -40 deg C really is the same as -40 deg F.)

Now we convert 140 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(140) + 32

F = 252 + 32

F = 284

140 deg C = 284 deg F

Now we rewrite the compound inequality with Fahrenheit temperatures.

-40 < t < 284

In a sample of 100 steel canisters, the mean wall thickness was 8.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.5 mm. Someone says that th

Travka [436]

Answer:

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 8.1 mm

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.5 mm

Sample size, n = 100

We are given that the distribution of thickness is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Standard error due to sampling:

$=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05$

P(mean thickness is less than 8.2 mm)

P(x < 8.2)

$P( x < 8.2)\\\\ = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{8.2 - 8.1}{0.05})\\\\ = P(z < 2)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 8.2) =0.9772 = 97.72\%$

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

Luda [366]

Step-by-step explanation:

$log_4(log_4 2x)=1 \\ \\ \therefore \: log_4 2x = {4}^{1} \\ \\ \therefore \: log_4 2x =4 \\ \\ \therefore \: 2x = {4}^{4} \\ \\ \therefore \: 2x = 256 \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{256}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: x = 128$

Gina has 5 2/6 feet of silver ribbon and 2 4/6 of gold ribbon. how much more silver ribbon does gina have than golden ribbon?

MrRissso [65]

To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: $5,744.61

Step-by-step explanation:

year 1 = -2,277

year 2 = -2026.53

year 3 = -1803.61

year 4 = -1605.21

year 5 = -1428.64

year 6 = -1271.49

year 7 = -1131.62

year 8 = -1007.17

year 9 = -896.36

year 10 = -797.76

year 11 = -710

you are subtracting 11% from each year.
