Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+5)/3 = 3/2

Multiply both sides by 3:

2x + 5 = 9/2

Subtract 5 from both sides:

2x = 9/2 - 5 = 9/2 - 10/2 = 3/2

Divide both sides by :

x = 3/4

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A number x is multiplied by 2, then has 3 added to it, then is divided by x+5, and the answer is 3 halves.

Or, as an equation:

\frac{2x + 3}{x + 5}  =  \frac{3}{2}

Let's cross multiply:

4(2x + 3) = 2(x + 5)

Expand:

8x + 12 = 2x + 10

Now solve:

6x + 12 = 10

6x = -2

x =  \frac{-1}{3}

So the answer is -1/3

What is the value of the sum of all the terms of the geometric series 300, 60, 12, …?
ruslelena [56]
<h3>Answer:   375</h3>

=========================================

Work Shown:

a = 300 = first term

r = 60/300 = 0.2 = common ratio

We multiply each term by 0.2, aka 1/5, to get the next term.

Since -1 < r < 1 is true, we can use the infinite geometric sum formula below

S = a/(1-r)

S = 300/(1-0.2)

S = 300/0.8

S = 375

----------

As a sort of "check", we can add up partial sums like so

  • 300+60 = 360
  • 300+60+12 = 360+12 = 372
  • 300+60+12+2.4 = 372+2.4 = 374.4
  • 300+60+12+2.4+0.48 = 374.4+0.48 = 374.88

and so on. The idea is that each time we add on a new term, we should be getting closer and closer to 375. I put "check" in quotation marks because it's probably not the rigorous of checks possible. But it may give a good idea of what's going on.

----------

Side note: If the common ratio r was either r < -1 or r > 1, then the terms we add on would get larger and larger. This would mean we don't approach a single finite value with the infinite sum.

Suppose the mean income of firms in the industry for a year is 95 million dollars with a standard deviation of 5 million dollars
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Probability that a randomly selected firm will earn less than 100 million dollars is 0.8413.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean income of firms in the industry for a year is 95 million dollars with a standard deviation of 5 million dollars. Also, incomes for the industry are distributed normally.

<em>Let X = incomes for the industry</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=95,\sigma^{2}=5^{2})

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

         Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean income of firms in the industry = 95 million dollars

            \sigma = standard deviation = 5 million dollars

So, probability that a randomly selected firm will earn less than 100 million dollars is given by = P(X < 100 million dollars)

    P(X < 100) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{100-95}{5} ) = P(Z < 1) = 0.8413   {using z table]

                                                     

Therefore, probability that a randomly selected firm will earn less than 100 million dollars is 0.8413.

Please help with 1 &amp; 2

First question:

I urge you to perform the division using the synthetic division method:

      ________________
-4  /   1   3   -6   -6   8
             -4    4     8  -8
       -----------------------
         1   -1   -2    2    0

Note that there is no remainder.  When this is the case, the divisor (here, that's -4) is a root of the given polynomial, and the value of that polynomial, g(-4), is 0.

If the remainder were not 0, then the remainder represents the value of the polynomial for that particular divisor.  For example, if x = -3, the remainder is -28.  We'd write that as g(-3) = -28.

But here, g(-4) = 0.

Which sequence of transformations proves that shape I is similar to shape II?
4vir4ik [10]
Note that if you simply reflected it and dilated it, it would be too far to the left

note that the distances bewteen the axises in image 1 were 1 and 3in image 3,the distances are 2 and 6
seems to be 3 times
so it's the 90 counterclockwise rotation and dilation by scale factor of 3
answer is last one

Set up and solve an equation for the value of x. Use the value of x and a relevant angle relationship in the diagram
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

x and EAF are 27 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since GAF is a right angle as indicated by the little square, GAC and CAF must add up to 90 degrees. Therefore, x is 90-63=27 degrees. The situation is the same for angle EAF. Hope this helps!
