-1/2x < -12 ....multiply both sides by -2, and change inequality sign
x > -12 * -2
x > 24

All you need to do is divide -1/2 onto the other side.

-1/2x<-12

-12/ (-1/2)= 6 (a negative and a negative equals a positive)

Also, since you are dividing a negative, you flip the sign.

x>6

I hope this helps!

For what values of m does the graph of y = 3x2 + 7x + m have two x-intercepts

Irina18 [472]

we are given

$y=3x^2+7x+m$

To find x-intercept means we have to find zeros

and for finding zeros , we will use quadratic formula

and we have it has two x-intercepts

so, it's discriminant must be greater than 0

so, we will find discriminant

$D=\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$

now, we can compare with

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

$y=3x^2+7x+m$

and then we can find a , b and c

$a=3,b=7,c=m$

now, we can find D

$D=\sqrt{7^2-4*3*m}$

$D=\sqrt{49-12m}$

It has two x-intercepts

so,

$D=\sqrt{49-12m}>0$

now, we can solve for m

$49-12m>0$

$12m$

$m$ ............Answer

If the sum of $1! + 2! + 3! + \cdots + 49! + 50!$ is divided by $15$, what is the remainder?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All factorials 5 and above are evenly divisible by 15, so have no remainder. Thus, you are interested in ...

mod(1! +2! +3! +4!, 15) = mod(1 +2 +6 +24, 15)

= mod(33, 15) = 3

The remainder is 3.

16) A company has found that its expenditure rate per day (in hundreds of dollars) on a certain type of job is given by E'(x) =

erastova [34]

Answer:

$61

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of days, x = 5

Expenditure per day, E'(x) = 10x + 11

Required

Determine the expenditure per day (E'(x))

From the question, we have that

$E'(x) = 10x + 11$

Substitute 5 for x

$E'(5) = 10 * 5 + 11$

$E'(5) = 50 + 11$

$E'(5) = 61$

Hence, the expenditure for 5 days is $61
