Kobotan [32]3 years ago

Hello there!

-3| 2x + 6| = -12
2x + 6 = -12/-3
2x + 6 = 4
Solve absolute value
We know that 2x + 6 = 4 or 2x + 6 = -4
We have two possibilities to solve this.

1)
2x + 6 = 4
2x = 4 - 6
2x = -2
Divide both sides by -2
2x/-2 = -2/-2
x = 1


2) 
2x + 6 = -4
2x = -4 - 6
2x = -10
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = -10/2
x = -5

Answer : X = -1 or X = -5

A+ Guaranteed!

2.A production process manufactures items with weights that are normally distributed with mean 10 pounds and standard deviation
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean = 10

standard deviation = 0.1

sample mean = 9.8 < x > 10.2

The z score can be computed as:

z = \dfrac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma}

if x > 10.2

z = \dfrac{10.2- 10}{0.1}

z = \dfrac{0.2}{0.1}

z = 2

If x < 9.8

z = \dfrac{9.8- 10}{0.1}

z = \dfrac{-0.2}{0.1}

z = -2

The p-value = P (z ≤ 2) + P (z ≥ 2)

The p-value = P (z ≤ 2) + ( 1 -  P (z ≥ 2)

p-value = 0.022750 +(1 -   0.97725)

p-value = 0.022750 +  0.022750

p-value = 0.0455

Therefore; the probability of defectives  = 4.55%

the probability of acceptable = 1 - the probability of defectives

the probability of acceptable = 1 - 0.0455

the probability of acceptable = 0.9545

the probability of acceptable = 95.45%

4.55% are defective or 95.45% is acceptable.

sampling distribution of proportions:

sample size n=1000

p = 0.0455

The z - score for this distribution at most 5% of the items is;

z = \dfrac{0.05 - 0.0455}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0455\times 0.9545}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{0.0045}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04342975}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{0.0045}{\sqrt{4.342975 \times 10^{-5}}}

z = 0.6828

The p-value = P(z ≤ 0.6828)

From the z tables

p-value = 0.7526

Thus, the probability that at most 5% of the items in a given batch will be defective = 0.7526

The z - score for this distribution for at least 85% of the items is;

z = \dfrac{0.85 - 0.9545}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0455\times 0.9545}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{-0.1045}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04342975}{1000}}}

z = −15.86

p-value = P(z ≥  -15.86)

p-value = 1 - P(z <  -15.86)

p-value = 1 - 0

p-value = 1

Thus, the probability that at least 85% of these items in a given batch will be acceptable = 1

Find the local maximum and minimum values of f using both the first and second derivative tests. f(x) = 6 9x2 − 6x3 local maximu
olga55 [171]

The local minimum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 6 and the local maximum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 9.

For given question,

We have been given a function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³

We need to find the local maximum and local minimum of the function  f(x)

First we find the first derivative of the function.

⇒ f'(x) = 0 + 18x - 18x²

⇒ f'(x) = - 18x² + 18x

Putting the first derivative of the function equal to zero, we get

⇒ f'(x) = 0

⇒ - 18x² + 18x = 0

⇒ 18(-x² + x) = 0

⇒ x (-x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = 0    or    -x + 1 = 0

⇒ x = 0     or    x = 1

Now we find the second derivative of the function.

⇒ f"(x) = - 36x + 18

At x = 0 the value of second derivative of function f(x),

⇒ f"(0) = - 36(0) + 18

⇒ f"(0) = 0 + 18

⇒ f"(0) = 18

Here, at x=0, f"(x) > 0

This means, the function f(x) has the local minimum value at x = 0,  which is given by

⇒ f(0) = 6 + 9(0)² - 6(0)³

⇒ f(0) = 6 + 0 - 0

⇒ f(0) = 6

At x = 1 the value of second derivative of function f(x),

⇒ f"(1) = - 36(1) + 18

⇒ f"(1) = - 18

Here, at x = 1, f"(x) < 0

This means, the function f(x) has the local maximum value at x = 1,  which is given by

⇒ f(1) = 6 + 9(1)² - 6(1)³

⇒ f(1) = 6 + 9 - 6

⇒ f(1) = 9

So, the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ has local minimum at x = 0 and local maximum at x = 1.

Therefore, the local minimum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 6 and the local maximum value of the function f(x) = 6 + 9x² - 6x³ is 9.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Part 1:

You know the height of a telephone pole and the distance the support cable is from the base of the telephone pole, but you don't know the length of the cable. The cable needs to be replaced so you need to calculate the length.

What is the length of the cable?
