The correct answer is:  [A]:  " x <span>< 12 " .
__________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________________
  " 5(x + 5) </span><span>< 85 " ;  Simplify/ solve for "x" ; 
__________________________________________________
Method 1)
__________________________________________________

Note the "distributive property of multiplication" :
__________________________________________________
  a(b +  c)  =   ab + ac ;

  a(b – c)   =  ab – ac .
__________________________________________________
So, take the "left-hand side" of the inequality; and expand:
__________________________________________________
</span>  →  5(x + 5) = (5*x) + (5*5) = 5x + 25 ; 
<span>
Now, rewrite the inequality:

  </span>→  5x + 25 < 85  ;

Subtract "25" from each side of the inequality ; 

  →  5x + 25 – 25 < 85 – 25  ;

to get:
_______________________________________
  →  5x  <  60  ;

Divide each side of the inequality by "5" ; 

  →  5x / 5  <  60 / 5 ; 

  →  x  <  12 ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [A]:  " x < 12 " .
_______________________________________

Method 2)
_______________________________________
Given:
_______________________________________
 " 5(x + 5) < 85 " ;  Simplify/ solve for "x" ; 
_______________________________________
 Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "5" ; 

  [5(x + 5) ] / 5 < 85 / 5 ; 

to get: 

  →  x + 5 < 17 ; 

Subtract "5" from EACH SIDE of the inequality:

  →  x + 5 – 5  <  17 – 5 ; 

to get:

  →  x  <  12  ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [A]:  " x < 12 " .

Alchen [17]
The sample space of the problem is 300 while the U' is equal to 100 as given. The given diagram also shows A and B separately so we can determine the part where the two coincides. The equation goes 
120 + 50 + x + 100 = 300x = 30
Hence the probability is 30/ 300 or 10%

23q−34) and (−16q−r)
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

r = 7 q - 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for r:

-34 + 7 q - r = 0

Subtract 7 q - 34 from both sides:

-r = 34 - 7 q

Multiply both sides by -1:

Answer:  r = 7 q - 34

Which statements are true about the graph of the function f(x) = x2 – 8x + 5? Check all that apply.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A, D, E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to complete the square to prove A.  Do this by first setting the function equal to 0, then moving the 5 to the other side.

x^2-8x=-5

Now we can complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 8 (from the -8x).  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we add 16 to both sides.

(x^2-8x+16)=-5+16

We will do the addition on the right, no big deal.  On the left, however, what we have done in the process of completing the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which gives us the h coordinate of the vertex.  We will rewrite with that perfect square on the left and the addition done on the right,

(x-4)^2=11

Now we will move the 11 back over, which gives us the k coordinate of the vertex.

(x-4)^2-11=y

From this you can see that A is correct.

Also we can see that the vertex of this parabola is (4, -11), which is why B is NOT correct.

The axis of symmetry is also found in the h value.  This is, by definition, a positive x-squared parabola (opens upwards), so its axis of symmetry will be an "x = " equation.  In the case of this type of parabola, that "x = " will always be equal to the h value.  So the axis of symmetry is

x = 4, which is why C is NOT correct, either.

We can find the y-intercept of the function by going back to the standard form of the parabola (NOT the vertex form we found by completing the square) and sub in a 0 for x.  When we do that, and then solve for y, we find that when x = 0, y = 5.  So the y-intercept is (0, 5).

From this you can see that D is also correct.

To determine if the parabola has real solutions (meaning it will go through the x-axis twice), you can plug it into the quadratic formula to find these values of x.  I just plugged the formula into my graphing calculator and graphed it to see that it did, indeed, go through the x-axis twice.  Just so you know, the values of x where the function go through are (.6833752, 0) and (7.3166248, 0).  That's why you need the quadratic formula to find these values.
