Answer:

(- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 2x - 15

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5 ← left x- intercept

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3 ← right x- intercept

A campus deli serves 300 customers over its busy lunch period from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. A quick count of the number of custom
Irina-Kira [14]

Complete question is;

A campus deli serves 300 customers over its busy lunch period from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. A quick count of the number of customers waiting in line and being served by the sandwich makers shows that an average of 10 customers are in process at any point in time. What is the average amount of time that a customer spends in process?

Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, we will apply Little's law which is is a theorem that determines the average number of items in a stationary queuing system, based on the average waiting time of an item within a system and the average number of items arriving at the system per unit of time.

The formula for the law is:

Inventory = flow rate × flow time.

We are given;

Inventory = 300 customers

flow time is from 11: 30am to 1:30pm which is 2 hours = 120 minutes

Flow rate = 300/120 = 2.5 persons/minute

Now, Making flow rate the subject of the formula earlier given, we have;

flow rate =  inventory/ flow time

Flow time is the time each person spends in the process

Thus, plugging in the relevant values, we get ;

We are told that an average of 10 customers are in process at any point in time.

Thus;

Average flow time = average inventory/flow rate = 10/2.5 = 4 minutes

There are 450 seats in the lower level of a concert hall with b balcony seats in the upper level. So far, 170 tickets have been
slamgirl [31]

There are 400 balcony seats in the concert hall.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Step 1 :

  • The number of lower seats = 450 seats

Total seats = Lower seats + balcony seats

Step 2 :

  • Tickets sold = 170 tickets
  • Total tickets = x

Tickets sold = 1/5 of total tickets.

⇒ 170 = (1/5)x

⇒ x = 5\times170

⇒ x = 850 tickets

∴ Total seats in the concert hall is 850.

Step 3 :

Total seats = 450 + balcony seats

850 - 450 = balcony seats

∴ balcony seats = 400

viktelen [127]

Answer:

B) 25% of her students are in chemistry.

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 0.1, or 10%, of freshmen in chemistry.  There were 0.25, or 25%, of sophomores in chemistry.  This is a total of 0.1+0.25 = 0.35, or 35%.

This is not 25%.

A child who is trick-or-treating chooses a lollipop at random from a bowl of lollipops with mean weight 1.5 oz and standard devi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The expected combined weight of the child's lollipop and two chocolate bars is 5.5 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Addition of normal variables:

The mean is the sum of the means.

Find the expected combined weight of the child's lollipop and two chocolate bars.

Child lollipop: Mean 1.5 oz

Chocolate bars: Mean 2 oz

One lollipop and 2 bars combined

The mean will be 1.5 + 2*2 = 5.5 oz

The expected combined weight of the child's lollipop and two chocolate bars is 5.5 oz.

Let a and b be real numbers where a=/b=/c=/0 which of the following functions could represent the graph below?
Tresset [83]

Answer: The second option;  y =  (x - a)^2*(x-b)^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we have that a and b are real numbers different than zero.

In the graph, we can see that the line touches the x-axis in two values. Now, if we would have an equation like:

y = x*(x - a)^3*(x - b)^3

then when x = 0 we would have:

y = 0*(0-a)^3*(0-b)^3 = 0

But in the graph, we can see that when x = 0, the value of y is different than zero, so we can discard options 1 and 3.

So the remaining options are:

y = (x - a)^2*(x-b)^4

y = (x - a)^5*(x - b)

Now, another thing you can see in the graph is that it is always positive.

Particularly the second option allows negative values for y because it has odd powers, then we can also discard this option.

(For example, if x > a and x < b we would have a negative value for y)

Then the only remaining option is y =  (x - a)^2*(x-b)^4
