Artyom0805 [142]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x(x-5) = 14

x^2-5x-14 = 0

x^2 -7x+2x-14=0

x(x-7)+2(x-7)=0

(x+2)(x-7)=0

x = -2, 7

Hope this helps!

Suppose that the probability density function ofthe length of computer cables is f (x) = 0.1 from 1200 to1210 millimeters.a. Det
Ann [662]

Notice that f(x)=0.1 for 1200\le x\le1210 implies that f(x)=0 elsewhere, since

\displaystyle\int_{1200}^{1210}f(x)\,\mathrm dx=1

where X=x is a random variable representing cable lengths according to the PDF f(x).

a. By definition of expectation, the mean is

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x\,f(x)\,\mathrm dx=0.1\int_{1200}^{1210}x\,\mathrm dx=1205

The variance is

\operatorname{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2

where

E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2\,f(x)\,\mathrm dx=0.1\int_{1200}^{1210}x^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{4,356,100}3

so that the variance is \frac{25}3, making the standard deviation \frac5{\sqrt3}.

b. The proportion of cables within specs is

P(1195

WhaThe factorization of x2 + 3x – 4 is modeled with algebra tiles.t is the factored form of x2 – x – 2?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

  x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:

  -2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1

Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:

  x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
