Answer:

x = -4 and x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 16x + 48 = 0 is to be factored.

Note that 48 is the product of 4 and 12 and that the sum of 4 and 12 is 16.

Therefore,

x^2 + 16x + 48 = 0 in factored form is:

(x + 4)(x + 12) = 0, so that x + 4 = 0 → x = -4, and

x + 12 = 0 → x = -12

Answer:

(x + 4) (x + 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

to factor x² + 16x + 48 = 0, you need to find 2 numbers that when multiplied together give you 48 and when added together give you 16

you can list the factors of 48 and see what adds up together to give you 16, but here is a hint:

the numbers probably end in a 2, 4, 0, 6, 5, or 1, as a pair of these numbers added together give us 6. i looked at a factor chart and saw that 12 and 4 that when added together, give us 16 and when multiplied, give us 48

in factored form it looks like the following:

(x + 4) (x + 12)

this would be the answer in factored form

the scale on a map is stated as 1:250000 two villages are 9 cm apart on the map how far from each other are the two villages in

Karolina [17]

Answer:

22.5 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is

$1:250,000$

That means

1 unit on a map represent 250,000 units in the actual

1 cm on a map represent 250,000 cm in the actual

1 cm on a map represent 2,500 m in the actual

1 cm on a map represent 2,5 km in the actual

therefore

using proportion

Find out how much represent 9 cm apart on the map

$\frac{1}{2.5}\ \frac{cm}{km}=\frac{9}{x}\ \frac{cm}{km}\\\\x=9(2.5)\\\\x=22.5\ km$

The coefficient of determination: a. cannot be negative b. is the square root of the coefficient of correlation c. can be negati

patriot [66]

Answer:

Correct statement: (a) and (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

R-squared is a statistical quantity that measures, just how near the values are to the fitted regression line. It is also known as the coefficient of determination.

The coefficient of determination is the squared value of the correlation coefficient.

That is,

$R^{2}=(r(X, Y))^{2}$

The correlation coefficient between two variables is the measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.

Its values ranges from -1.00 to +1.00.

Although <em>r</em> can be negative but R² is always positive, since square of a negative number is also positive.

So the correct statements are:

a. cannot be negative

b. is the square root of the coefficient of correlation

A caterer provides a conference banquet for a price of $40 per person for 20 or fewer people but will decrease the price by $1 p

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum revenue is $900, obtained with 30 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Naturally, the answer should be a number equal or higher than 20, because up to 20 persons, each one pays the same. Lets define a revenue function for x greater than or equal to 20.

f(x) = x*(40-(x-20)) = -x²+60x

Note that f multiplies the number of persons by how much would they pay (here, assuming that there are more than 20).

f is quadratic with negative main coefficient and its maximum value will be reached at the vertex.

The value of the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a = -60/-2 = 30

for x = 30, f(x) = 30*(40-(30-20))=30*30=900

So the maximum revenue is $900.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

4589.75J

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x M x v^2

Given

Mass M = 55.0kg

V = 12.92m/s

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 x 55.0 x (12.92)^2

= 1/2 x 55.0 x (12.92 x 12.92)

= 1/2 x 55.0 x 166.9

Multiply through

= 9179.5/2

= 4589.75J
