How do you factor 7x^{2}+29x+4

Gala2k [10]

When you have a coefficient in front of the "x^2" value, you have to multiply it by the end value (4)

so you want a set of integers that will add up to 29, by multiple to (7 x 4) = 28

The only numbers like that are 28 and 1, they add up to 29 and multiply to 29

Therefore, rewrite it like this 7x^2 + 28x + x + 4

and then factor out the 7x in the first two terms, to get this

7x(x+4) + x + 4, then factor out 1 in the latter two terms to get this:

7x(x+4) +1(x+4), then use grouping to combine what you've got:

The factors are: {{ (7x+1)(x+4) }}

A sales analyst listed the probabilities of profits and losses in dollars for a certain company. Find the mean for the probabili

kakasveta [241]

Answer: The mean for the probability distribution will be 69.25.

Explanation:

Since we given that

$At\ x_1= -500 ,P(x) = 0.076\\$

$At\ x_2= -250,P(x)= 0.191\\$

$At\ x_3=0, P(x)= 0.265\\$

$At\ x_4=250 , P(x)= 0.316\\$

$At\ x_5=500 , P(x)= 0.152\\$

As we know the formula for expectation of x i.e. known as mean for the probability distribution,

$E(x)=x\sum_{1}^{5} P(x)$

So, we apply this formula in our case,

$-500\times 0.076+(-250)\times 0.191+0\times 0.265+250\times 0.316+500\times 0.512=69.25$

$\mu = 69.25$

Hence, the mean for the probability distribution will be 69.25.

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span> $\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}$ .
From the above equation we get $x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20$ .
then $\frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
Solving the above equation for y we get: $y=160$
So $x=400$
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

working together, melissa and jing can mow a lawn in 5 hours. It would take melissa 8 hours to do the job alone. What is the val

lubasha [3.4K]

Total Time = (M x K) / (M + K)
5 = (8 x K) / (8 + K)
40 + 5 K = 8K
40 = 3K
King can do the job in 13.33 Hours

King could mow (1 / 13.33) of the lawn in one hour.
