Answer: He should add 8 gallons of water to make 5% bleach solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of gallons of water he should add be 'x'.

Since we have given that

Total number of gallon we have = 8

It has 10% beach solution i.e. \frac{10}{100}\times 8=0.8\ gallon

We need to make it a 5% bleach solution by adding water to it.

so, our equation becomes,

\frac{Bleach}{Total}=\frac{0.8}{8+x}=\frac{5}{100}\\\\\frac{0.8}{8+x}=\frac{1}{20}\\\\20\times 0.8=8+x\\\\16=8+x\\\\x=16-8\\\\x=8\ gallons

Hence, he should add 8 gallons of water to make 5% bleach solution.

Sum of positive roots of the equation (x2 - 12x + 35) (x2 + 10x + 24) = 504 is
Digiron [165]

Answer:

(3)11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

(x^2-12x+35)(x^2+10x+24)=504

We have to find the sum of positive roots of the equation.

x^2(x^2+10x+24)-12x(x^2+10x+24)+35(x^2+10x+24)=504

x^4+10x^3+24x^2-12x^3-120x^2-288x+35x^2+350x+840=504

x^4-2x^3-61x^2+62x+840-504=0

x^4-2x^3-61x^2+62x+336=0

Factor of 336

2,3,4,6,8,7,

Let x=2

2^4-2^4-61(2^2)+62(2)+336\neq0

x=2 is not the root of equation

x=-2

(-2)^4-2(-2)^3-61(-2)^2+62(-2)+336=0

Hence x=-2 is the root of equation.

x+2 is a factor of equation.

x=3

3^4-2(3^3)-61(3^2)+62(3)+336=0

Therefore, x=3  is the root of equation.

(x+2)(x-3)(x^2-x-56)=0

(x+2)(x-3)(x^2-8x+7x-56)=0

(x+2)(x-3)(x(x-8)+7(x-8))=0

(x+2)(x-3)(x-8)(x+7)=0

x-8=0\implies x=8

x+7=0\implies x=-7

Positive roots are 3 and 8

Sum of positive roots=3+8=11

Option (3) is true.

Which table describes the behavior of the graph of f(x) = 2x3 – 26x – 24?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

For x∈ {-∞,-3} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {-3,-1} y>0, above x-axis

x∈ {-1,4} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {4,∞} y>0, above x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^{3}-26x-24

2x^{3}-26x-24=0

2x^{3}-26x-24=0\\2x^{3}-2x-24x-24=0\\2x(x^{2} -1)-24(x+1)=0\\2x(x+1)(x-1)-24(x+1)=0\\(x+1)(2x^{2} -2x-24)=0\\=> x+1=0 => x_{1}=-1\\

=> 2x^{2} -2x-24=0\\=>2(x^{2} -x-12)=0\\=> x^{2} -x-12=0\\=> x^{2} -4x+3x-12=0\\=> x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\=> (x-4)(x+3)=0\\

=> x-4=0\\=> x_{2}=4\\=> x+3=0\\=>x_{3}=-3\\

For x∈ {-∞,-3} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {-3,-1} y>0, above x-axis

x∈ {-1,4} y<0, below x-axis

x∈ {4,∞} y>0, above x-axis

blagie [28]

Answer:

A 90% confidence interval of the true mean is [$119.86, $123.34].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an irate student complained that the cost of textbooks was too high. He randomly surveyed 36 other students and found that the mean amount of money spent on textbooks was $121.60.

Also, the standard deviation of the population was $6.36.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                              P.Q.  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean amount of money spent on textbooks = $121.60

            \sigma = population standard deviation = $6.36

            n = sample of students = 36

            \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing a 90% confidence interval we have used One-sample z-test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.</em>

<em />

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.645 < N(0,1) < 1.645) = 0.90  {As the critical value of z at 5% level

                                                      of significance are -1.645 & 1.645}  

P(-1.645 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.645) = 0.90

P( -1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.90

P( \bar X-1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.90

<u>90% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+1.645 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                      = [ 121.60-1.645 \times {\frac{6.36}{\sqrt{36} } } , 121.60+1.645 \times {\frac{6.36}{\sqrt{36} } } ]

                                      = [$119.86, $123.34]

Therefore, a 90% confidence interval of the true mean is [$119.86, $123.34].
