5n + 4 = -26

Thus, 5n = -26-4 = -30

5n = -30

Thus, n = -6

You do

-26
-4
---
-30

5n=-30 so...

-30/5=-6

Therefore
n=-6

An object is dropped from a small plane. As the object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the

DedPeter [7]

The inequality can be used to find the interval of time taken by the object to reach the height greater than 300 feet above the ground is:

$d = -16t^2 + 1000$

Solution:

The object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the formula:

$d = -16t^2 + 1000$

To find the time interval in which the object is at a height greater than 300 ft

Frame a inequality,

$-16t^2 + 1000 > 300$

Solve the inequality

Subtract 1000 from both sides

$-16t^2 + 1000 - 1000 > 300 - 1000\\\\-16t^2 > -700$

$16t^2 < 700\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 16\\\\t^2 < \frac{700}{16}\\\\Take\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\\t < \sqrt{\frac{700}{16}}\\\\t < \pm 6.61$

Time cannot be negative

Therefore,

t < 6.61

And the inequality used is: $-16t^2 + 1000>300$

What is the degree 3 polynomial that has zeros -3,2 and 5 and in which the coefficient of x^2 is -8?

Setler [38]

For zeroes/roots r1,r2, r3
the facors of the polynomial is
(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)

roots
-3,2,5
(x-(-3))(x-2)(x-5)
(x+3)(x-2)(x-5)
the coefient of the x term is -4
so mutliply the whole thing by 2

(2)(x+3)(x-2)(x-5)

expand
f(x)=2x^3-8x^2-22x+60

Which is the equation of the line with slope 3 that contains point (-1, 5)?

sattari [20]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-5=3[x-(-1)] \\\\\\ y-5=3(x+1)\implies y-5=3x+3\implies y=3x+8$

Consider the population consisting of all computers of a certain brand and model, and focus on whether a computer needs service

eimsori [14]

Answer and explanation:

A. What is the probability that more than half of the sample of 100 computers would need warranty service?

What is the probability that more than half of the sample of 100 computers would not need warranty service?

What is the probability that out of sample of 100 more than 20% would require warranty service?

B. If our sample of 100 computers of that brand and model reveals that 30 computers need warranty service, does this give a valid conclusion that all such computers in the population would require about 30% warranty service or less?
