Answer:

The answer can't be simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer the question, you have to calculate the prime factors of 74 to see if the expression can be simplified.

If at least one of the prime factors has an exponent bigger or equal than 2 (because the expression has a squareroot), then the expression can be simplified using the properties of exponential numbers and irrational numbers to extract the factor or the factors from the squareroot.

(For example the property \sqrt[n]{x^{k+n} } =\sqrt[n]{(x^{k})(x^{n})}=x\sqrt[n]{x^{k} })

Calculating the prime factors:

74/2 = 37 but 37 is a prime number so:

37/37 =1

74 = 2 x 37

Therefore, \sqrt{74} can't be expressed as a simplier number.

What is the range of the function f(x) = 3x2 + 6x – 8?
timama [110]

Answer:

Range is {y | y ≥ –11}


Step-by-step explanation:

This is quadratic equation.

<em>A quadratic equation's range can be found if we find the vertex.</em>

For quadratic equations that have a positive number in front of  x^{2} , it is upward opening and thus <u>all the numbers greater than or equal to the minimum value of vertex is the range.</u>


The formula for vertex of a parabola is:

Vertex =  (-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a})

Where,

  • a is the coefficient of x^{2}
  • b is the coefficient of x

From our equation given, a=3  and  b=6

Now, x coordinate of vertex is  x=-\frac{b}{2a}\\x=-\frac{6}{(2)(3)}\\x=-\frac{6}{6}\\x=-1

y coordinate of the vertex IS THE MINIMUM VALUE that we want. We get this by plugging in the x value [ x=-1 ] into the equation. So we have:

3(-1)^{2}+6(-1)-8\\=-11


Hence, the range would be all numbers greater than or equal to -11  

Third answer choice is the right one.

Evaluate the expression
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12-[20-2(6^2\div3\times2^2)]=88

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

12-[20-2(6^2\div3\times2^2)]

Recall the order of operations or PEMDAS:

P: Operations within parentheses must be done first. On a side note, do parentheses before brackets.

E: Within the parentheses, if exponents are present, do them before all other operations.

M/D: Multiplication and division next, whichever comes first.

A/S: Addition and subtraction next, whichever comes first.

(Note: This is how the order of operations is traditionally taught and how it was to me. If this is different for you, I do apologize. However, the answer should be the same.)

Thus, we should do the operations inside the parentheses first. Therefore:

12-[20-2(6^2\div3\times2^2)]

The parentheses is:

(6^2\div3\times2^2)

Square the 6 and the 4:

(36\div3\times4)

Do the operations from left to right. 36 divided by 3 is 12. 12 times 4 is 48:

(36\div3\times4)\\=(12\times4)\\=48

Therefore, the original equation is now:

12-[20-2(6^2\div3\times2^2)]\\=12- [20-2(48)]

Multiply with the brackets:

=12-[20-96]

Subtract with the brackets:

=12-[-76]

Two negatives make a positive. Add:

=12+76=88

Therefore:

12-[20-2(6^2\div3\times2^2)]=88

Twelve different video games showing drugs were observed. The duration times of drugs were​ recorded, with the times​ (seconds)
Studentka2010 [4]

The answers to the questions are:

1. The confidence level is 99 percent.

2. We have to conclude that there is no sufficient evidence available to support this claim because the Confidence interval contains 75 sec.

<h3>How to solve for the confidence level</h3>

1. The confidence level here should be

1- 0.01 = 0.99

= 99 percent

Given that, 99% confidence interval for population mean (μ) is (-34.1 sec u< u < 264.1 ) seconds.

We are to test  the claim that the population mean is greater than 75 sec.

2.

The given confidence interval contains the value of 75 sec, so there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 75 sec.
