Answer: $1117.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount predicted by Economist =$1180

Let x be the amount spent by Americans on Summer vacation in 2014.

Therefore, According to the question, we have

5.6% of x+x=1180

$\Rightarrow0.056\timesx+x=1180\\\Rightarrow x(0.056+1)=1180\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{1180}{1.056}=1117.42\approx$

Hence, the amount spent by Americans on Summer vacation in 2014 = $1117.42

The CPU of a personal computer has a lifetime that is exponentially distributed with a mean lifetime of six years. a) What is th

amm1812

Answer: Our required probability is 0.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

X be the exponentially distributed with mean life = 6 years

So, E[x]=6

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=6\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{1}{6}$

So, our cumulative distribution function would be

$F(x)=1-e^{-\lambda x}$

We need to find the probability that the CPU fails within 3 years.

$P(X$

Hence, our required probability is 0.39.

What is the quotient when 4x3 + 2x + 7 is divided by x + 3?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The quotient of this division is $(4x^2 -12x + 38)$ . The remainder here would be $-26$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator $4x^3 + 2x + 7$ is a polynomial about $x$ with degree $3$ .

The divisor $x + 3$ is a polynomial, also about $x$ , but with degree $1$ .

By the division algorithm, the quotient should be of degree $3 - 1 = 2$ , while the remainder shall be of degree $1 - 1 = 0$ (i.e., the remainder would be a constant.) Let the quotient be $a\,x^2 + b\, x + c$ with coefficients $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ .

$4x^3 + 2x + 7 = \left(a\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3)$ .

Start by finding the first coefficient of the quotient.

The degree-three term on the left-hand side is $4 x^3$ . On the right-hand side, that would be $a\, x^3$ . Hence $a = 4$ .

Now, given that $a = 4$ , rewrite the right-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(4\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(4x^2 + (b\, x + c)\right)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^2(x + 3) + (bx + c)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$4x^3 + 2x + 7 = 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (b\,x + c)(x + 3)$

Subtract $\left(4x^3 + 12x^2\right$ from both sides of the equation:

$-12x^2 + 2x + 7 = (b\,x + c)(x + 3)$ .

The term with a degree of two on the left-hand side has coefficient $(-12)$ . Since the only term on the right hand side with degree two would have coefficient $b$ , $b = -12$ .

Again, rewrite the right-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(-12 x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(-12 x+ c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& (-12x)(x + 3) + c(x + 3) \cr =& -12x^2 -36x + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}$ .

Subtract $-12x^2 -36x$ from both sides of the equation:

$38x + 7 = c(x + 3)$ .

By the same logic, $c = 38$ .

Hence the quotient would be $(4x^2 - 12x + 38)$ .

lakkis [162]

Answer:

25+40x=195

Step-by-step explanation:

If he already has $25, you need to add that to 40x (40 times the amount of weeks it takes to get to 195, added with 25).
