Arada [10]3 years ago

For some number x, we subtract 0.1x and get 171.

So we have:
x-0.1x=171
\rightarrow 0.9x=171
\rightarrow x=190

Sonja [21]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

a)

expected value for the difference in sample means=3.5-3.2=0.3

b)

standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means

=sqrt((0.5^2/40)+(0.8^2/40))

=0.1492

c)

z=(0.3-0)/0.1492

z=2.01

P(z>2.01)=0.0222

The graph of f(x) = x3 − 7x − 6 is shown. Based on the graph, what are all of the solutions to f(x) = x3 − 7x − 6? x = −6 x = −2
pogonyaev
F(x)=x^3-7x-6  Since I don't have the graph and this is not a perfect cube, I will have to rely on Newton :P

x-(f(x)/(dy/dx))

x-(x^3-7x-6)/(3x^2-7)

(2x^3+6)/(3x^2-7), letting x1=0

0, -6/7, -.988, -.9999, -.99999999999, -1

(x^3-7x-6)/(x+1)

x^2 r -x^2-7x-6
-x   r  -6x-6
-6   r  0

(x+1)(x^2-x-6)=0

(x+1)(x-3)(x+2)=0

x= -2, -1, 3

Solve 1/2x + 3 > 2(x-5/2)
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1/4x (8 x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

write the division as a fraction

1/2x + 3/2x (x - 5 ÷ 2)

factor out 1/2 from the expression.

1/2x(x + 3(x - 5 ÷ 2))

divide the numbers.

1/2x(x + 3(x - 2.5))

distribute 3 through the parentheses.

1/2x(x + 3x - 7.5)

collect like terms.

1/2x(4x - 7.5)

1/2x(4x - 15/2)

factor out 1/2 from the expression.

1/2 x 1/2 x (8 x - 15)

multiply the fractions

= 1/4 x (8x - 15)

or alternative form

= 0.25(8x - 15)
