Find the values of the unknown constants for the identities

Mathematics
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a = 1 and b = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side of the identity

x(ax² - 3x + b) - 3(ax² - 3x + b)

= ax³ - 3x² + bx - 3ax² + 9x - 3b

= ax³ - x²(3 + 3a) + x(b + 9) - 3b

Equate the coefficients of like terms on both sides of the identity

x³ terms → ax³ with x³ ⇒ a = 1

x terms → - x with (b + 9)x ⇒ b + 9 = - 1 ⇒ b = - 10

A contractor is required by a county planning department to submit one, two, three, four, five, or six forms (depending on the n
Ratling [72]

Answer:

a)

k = \dfrac{1}{21}

b) 0.476

c) 0.667    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Y = the number of forms required of the next applicant.

Y: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The probability is given by:

P(y) = ky

a) Property of discrete probability distribution:

\displaystyle\sum P(y_i) = 1\\\\\Rightarrow k(1+2+3+4+5+6) = 1\\\\\Rightarrow k(21) = 1\\\\\Rightarrow k = \dfrac{1}{21}

b) at most four forms are required

P(y \leq 4) = \displaystyle\sum^{y=4}_{y=1}P(y_i)\\\\P(y \leq 4) = \dfrac{1}{21}(1+2+3+4) = \dfrac{10}{21} = 0.476

c) probability that between two and five forms (inclusive) are required

P(2\leq y \leq 5) = \displaystyle\sum^{y=5}_{y=2}P(y_i)\\\\P(2\leq y \leq 5) = \dfrac{1}{21}(2+3+4+5) = \dfrac{14}{21} = 0.667

Two bonds are available on the market as follows:
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal or initial amount invested.

R represents the interest rate.

T represents duration of the investment in years

From the information given,

P = $750

R = 5%

T = y years

I = the total return of Bond 1 - principal

I = 1000 - 750 = $250

Therefore,

250 = (750 × 5 × y)/100

250 = 37.5y

y = 250/37.5

y = 6.7 years

PLEASE HELP. IF U GET THIS RIGHT I WILL MARK U BRAINLIEST!!! THANK U GUYS
KatRina [158]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the rise over the run. 2 simple coordinates I can see is (6,2) and (7,4). I usually like to visualize it instead of actually solving it mathematically. So, we can start at (6,2). The point (6,2) goes up 2 and 1 to the right in order to get (7,4.) So since the slope is rise over run ( y/x) it would be 2/1 because we went 2 up the y axis and 1 to the right of the x axis. So 2/1 is 2. Therefore, 2 is the answer.  I'm sorry if my explaining isn't the best... I hope this helps though!!
