Answer:
Consider the number of children to be x.
So, 144 coins were divided amongst x children.
For x-3 children, each child would have 16 coins
So, (x-3)*16=144
Solving for x, x-3=144/16
or x-3=9
or x=9+3=12
Answer is 12
Points of inflections are zeroes of the second derivative. We have:

So, the second derivative equals zero if and only if

So, this is the only point of inflection of this function.
Answer:
5 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:
*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.

Expanding, you get:

And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.

Solving by factoring:

This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 8 = 2x - 10
2x - 8 = -10
2x = -2
x = -1
y = 4(-1) - 8 = -4 -8 = -12
(-1, -12)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
the mean 
= 2300
Standard deviation = 
Standard deviation (SD) = 214.4761
TO find:
a) 



From the Z-table, since 5.595 is > 3.999

P(x > 3500) = 0.0001
b)
Here, the replacement time for the mean 
= 0.25
Replacement time for the Standard deviation 

For 115 component, the mean time = (115 × 20)+(114×0.25)
= 2300 + 28.5
= 2328.5
Standard deviation = 
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 214.482
Now; the required probability:




From the Z-table, since 8.376 is > 3.999
P(x > 4125) = 1 - 0.9999
P(x > 4125) = 0.0001
