Answer:

n = 20 or n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n over the real numbers:

n^2 = 18 n + 40

Subtract 18 n + 40 from both sides:

n^2 - 18 n - 40 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(n - 20) (n + 2) = 0

Split into two equations:

n - 20 = 0 or n + 2 = 0

Add 20 to both sides:

n = 20 or n + 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: n = 20 or n = -2

ohn is interested in purchasing a multi-office building containing five offices. The current owner provides the following probab

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$28,875

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|cccccc}$Number of Lease Offices&0&1&2&3&4&5\\$Probability&5/32&3/16&3/32&1/4&9/32&1/32\end{array}\right|$

The expected probability is derived using the formula: $\sum_{i=0}^{5}x_iP(x_i)$

Therefore, for the given distribution,

Expected Probability

$=(0*\frac{5}{32})+ (1*\frac{3}{16})+ (2*\frac{3}{32})+ (3*\frac{1}{4})+ (4*\frac{9}{32})+ (5*\frac{1}{32})\\=2.40625$

If each yearly lease is $12,000

The Expected Yearly Lease for the Whole Building=2.40625 X 12000

=$28,875

What is the horizontal shift for the graph of f(x) = (x - 3)3 + 2? A. Left 2 B. Right 2 C. Left 3 D. Right 3

jarptica [38.1K]

The graph of the function f(x) = (x - 3)^3 + 2 is 3 units to the right of the parent function.
Hence the horizontal shift is right 3.

How do I work out A & B ?

Sonja [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

x² + 5x + 6

Consider the factors of the constant term ( + 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

The factors are 3 and 2, since

3 × 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5, hence

x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2) ← in factored form

(b)

To solve

x² + 5x + 6 = 0 ← use the factored form, that is

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

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
