Using algebra, solve the inequality writing your answer in set notation. x²-x> 20

1 answer:
Xelga [282]1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

(-4, 0) U (1, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Set each factor EQUAL to zero to find the zeroes (since it is not actually equal to zero, you will use an open circle when graphing and an open bracket when writing in interval notation).

x = 0           x-1 = 0             x + 4 = 0

                  x = 1                x = -4

Next, choose a value to the far left, between each of the zeroes, and to the far right to evaluate if it makes a true statement when input into the given inequality.

far left (I choose -5): -5(-5 - 1)(-5 + 4) > 0   →  (-)(-)(-) > 0  →   negative > 0  FALSE

- 4 to 0 (I choose -2): -2(-2 - 1)(-2 + 4) > 0   →  (-)(-)(+) > 0  →   positive > 0  TRUE

0 to 1 (I choose 0.5): .5(.5 - 1)(.5 + 4) > 0   →  (+)(-)(+) > 0  →   negative > 0  FALSE

far right (I choose 2): 2(2 - 1)(2 + 4) > 0   →  (+)(+)(+) > 0  →   positive > 0  TRUE

Suppose that your business is operating at the 4.5-Sigma quality level. If projects have an average improvement rate of 50% annu
Luda [366]

Answer:

  11.75 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If we ignore the fact that "6-sigma" quality means the error rate corresponds to about -4.5σ (3.4 ppm) and simply go with ...

  P(z ≤ -6) ≈ 9.86588×10^-10

and

  P(z ≤ -4.5) ≈ 3.39767×10^-6

the ratio of these error rates is about 0.000290372. We're multiplying the error rate by 0.5 each year, so we want to find the power of 0.50 that gives this value:

  0.50^t = 0.000290372

  t·log(0.50) = log(0.00290372) . . . . take logarithms

  t = log(0.000290372)/log(0.50) ≈ -3.537045/-0.301030

  t ≈ 11.75

It will take about 11.75 years to achieve Six Sigma quality (0.99 ppb error rate).

_____

<em>Comment on Six Sigma</em>

A 3.4 ppm error rate is customarily associated with "Six Sigma" quality. It assumes that the process may have an offset from the mean of up to 1.5 sigma, so the "six sigma" error rate is P(z ≤ (1.5 -6)) = P(z ≤ -4.5) ≈ 3.4·10^-6.

Using that same criteria for the "4.5-Sigma" quality level, we find that error rate to be P(z ≤ (1.5 -4.5)) = P(z ≤ -3) ≈ 1.35·10^-3.

Then the improvement ratio needs to be only 0.00251699, and it will take only about ...

  t ≈ log(0.00251699)/log(0.5) ≈ 8.6 . . . . years

49 can be equally divided by seven, which means there would be 9 red roses in each center piece. And 63 can be equally divided by 7 which means there would by 7 white roses in each center piece.

A skirt originally cost $10. How much will it cost if you sell it in Amazon with 25% mark-up price
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$20.40

Step-by-step explanation:

20% off means that the new price of the skirt will be 80% of the original price:

$30(100%  – 20%) = $30(80%)

Converting the percent to a decimal gives:

$30(0.8) = $24.00

There is an additional 15% off the sale price of $24.00, so the final price is 85% of the sale price:

$24(100%  – 15%) = $24(85%)

Again converting the percent to a decimal gives:

$24(0.85) = $20.40
