Consider the function f(x)=x^2+bx-49 where b is a constant. if the function has an axis of symmetry at x = 8, what is the value

Jlenok [28]

For this case we have the following equation:
f (x) = x ^ 2 + bx-49
Deriving we have:
f '(x) = 2x + b
We match zero:
0 = 2x + b
We clear x:
x = -b / 2
The axis of symmetry is at x = 8, therefore:
x = -b / 2 = 8
Clearing b:
b = -2 * (8)
b = -16
Answer:
the value of b is:
b = -16

The daily earnings of an employee who works on a commission basis are given by the following probability distribution. Find the

elena-s [515]

Answer: The employee's expected earnings is 78.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$ Probability

0 0.07

25 0.12

50 0.17

75 0.14

100 0.28

125 0.18

150 0.04

We need to find the employee's expected earnings.

As we know the formula for "Expectation":

$E(x)=0\times 0.07+25\times 0.12+50\times 0.17+75\times 0.14+100\times 0.28+125\times 0.18+150\times 0.04\\\\E(x)=0+3+8.5+10.5+28+22.5+6\\\\E(x)=78.5$

Hence, the employee's expected earnings is 78.5.
