Answer:

4+2*(14-3) . Put them between the 14 and the 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) 14-3=11

b.) {this simplifies to} 4+2*11

c.) 2*11=22

d.) 4+22=26

Hope this helps :)

4 + 2 x ( 14 - 3 )
4 + 2 x 11
4 + 22
26
The parenthesis will go around 14 and -3

Patricia and Joe Payne are divorced. The divorce settlement stipulated that Joe pay $485 a month for their daughter Suzanne unti

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{Future Value of an ordinary annuity}

A=pymnt\left[ \cfrac{\left( 1+\frac{r}{n} \right)^{nt}-1}{\frac{r}{n}} \right]$

$\bf \begin{cases}
A=

\textit{original amount}\\
\textit{already compounded}
\end{array} &
\begin{array}{llll}

\end{array}\\
pymnt=\textit{periodic payments}\to &

r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{a year, thus once}
\end{array}\to &1\\

t=years\to &4
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
$

$\bf A=5280\left[ \cfrac{\left( 1+\frac{0.06}{1} \right)^{1\cdot 4}-1}{\frac{0.06}{1}} \right]$

Joe is making $485 payments monthly, but the amount gets interest on a yearly basis, not monthly, so the amount that yields interest is 485*12

also, keep in mind, we're assuming is compound interest, as opposed to simple interest

The distribution of the average amount of sleep per night gotten by college students is roughly bell-shaped with mean 412 minute

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$P(X$

$P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(412,68)$

Where $\mu=412$ and $\sigma=68$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

$P(z$

Simplify completely: 8x+4/x^3+23÷4x^2-10x-6/9-x^2

Helen [10]

Answer:

The simplified form is: $-x^2-2x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression given we, need to open the brackets, and if there is power term. Then we need to group all the like terms and then arrange in the descending order of powers of the given expression.

Now the expression that is given to us is:

$8x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-10x-\frac{6}{9}-x^2$

Here we will simplify it by grouping the like terms, as follows:

$8x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-10x-\frac{6}{9}-x^2\\=-x^2+8x-10x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{6}{9}=-x^2-2x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{2}{3}$

So this is the required simplified form.
