Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

1.- f(x) = 5x³ - 31x² - 129x + 27

a) f(9) = 5(9)³ - 31(9)² - 129(9) + 27

   f(9) = 5(729) - 31(81) - 1161 + 27

   f(9) = 3645 - 2511 - 1161 + 27

   f(9) = 0

b.- I will use synthetic division

                        5   - 31  -129  + 27       9

                               45   126  -27                            

                        5     14     -3       0

    Trinomial = 5x² + 14x - 3

Factor               5x² + 15x - 1x - 3

                        5x(x + 3) - 1(x + 3)

b)                           (x + 3)(5x - 1)

                       x₂ + 3 = 0          5x₃ - 1 = 0

                       x₂ = -3                 x₃ = 1/5

c) The roots are x₁ = 9, x₂ = -3 and x₃ = 1/5

2.-  f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 8      factor = 3x - 4

                                     x    + 2

                       3x - 4    3x² + 2x - 8

                                   -3x² + 4x

                                     0    +6x - 8

                                           -6x  + 8

                                                      0  Remainder

As the remainder was "0", 3x - 4 is a factor of 3x² + 2x - 8

The time for a professor to grade an exam is normally distributed with a mean of 16.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 4.2 mi
dem82 [27]

Answer:

62.17% probability that a randomly selected exam will require more than 15 minutes to grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 16.3, \sigma = 4.2

What is the probability that a randomly selected exam will require more than 15 minutes to grade

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 15. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{15 - 16.3}{4.2}

Z = -0.31

Z = -0.31 has a pvalue of 0.3783.

1 - 0.3783 = 0.6217

62.17% probability that a randomly selected exam will require more than 15 minutes to grade

Simplify 5m-2(6m-5)+2<br><br>a. -7m-8<br>b. -7m+12<br>c. 17m+12<br>d. 17m-8
fgiga [73]

The answer is B. -7m+12.


First distribute the -2 to 6m and -5.

5m-2(6m-5)+2

5m+(-2*6m)+(-2*-5)+2

5m+-12m+10+2


After that, combine the like terms.

5m+-12m+10+2

-5m+-12m=-7m

10+2=12


The simplified expression is -7m+12.

Which expression is equivalent to -0.55 – 0.47a + a?
Leto [7]

Answer:

-0.55 + 0.53a

Step-by-step explanation:

              -0.55 – 0.47a + a

 To find an expression equivalent to this, we must simplify the equation to a reasonable extent;

         -0.55 – 0.47a + a

      = -0.55 + 0.53a

      = 0.53a - 0.55

The expression equivalent to the given one is -0.55 + 0.53a  or 0.53a - 0.55
