Based on number terms what is a polynomial 2n2- 2n called?

1 answer:

3 0

Polynomials are sums of these "variables and exponents" expressions. Each piece of the polynomial (that is, each part that is being added) is called a "term".

What is the slope of the equation y = 5x - 7? o -7 o 7.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

slope = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 5x - 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

As an estimation we are told 5 miles is 8 km. Convert 60 km to miles.

blagie [28]

Answer:

37.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the rate of conversion by dividing kilometers by miles. 5÷8=1.6, so 1.6 km = 1 mile. Now we can divide 60 by 1.6 to find miles.

$60/1.6=37.5$

Five males with an X-linked genetic disorder have one child each. The random variable x is the number of children among the fiv

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer and Explanation:

Given : Five males with an X-linked genetic disorder have one child each. The random variable x is the number of children among the five who inherit the X-linked genetic disorder.

To find :

a. Does the table show a probability distribution?

b. Find the mean and standard deviation of the random variable x.

Solution :

a) To determine that table shows a probability distribution we add up all six probabilities if the sum is 1 then it is a valid distribution.

$\sum P(X)=0.029+0.147+0.324+0.324+0.147+0.029$

$\sum P(X)=1$

Yes it is a probability distribution.

b) First we create the table as per requirements,

x P(x) xP(x) x² x²P(x)

0 0.029 0 0 0

1 0.147 0.147 1 0.147

2 0.324 0.648 4 1.296

3 0.324 0.972 9 2.916

4 0.147 0.588 16 2.352

5 0.029 0.145 25 0.725

∑P(x)=1 ∑xP(x)=2.5 ∑x²P(x)=7.436

The mean of the random variable is

$\mu=\sum xP(x)=2.5$

The standard deviation of the random sample is

$Variance=\sigma^2$

$\sigma^2=\sum x^2P(x)-\mu^2$

$\sigma^2=7.436-(2.5)^2$

$\sigma^2=7.436-6.25$

$\sigma^2=1.186$

$\sigma=\sqrt{1.186}$

$\sigma=1.08$

Therefore, The mean is 2.5 and the standard deviation is 1.08.

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 11 minutes. If there are 870 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest ten

serg [7]

Answer:

It would take 27.5 minutes the element to decay to 154 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay equation:

$\frac {dN}{dt}\propto -N$

$\Rightarrow \R\frac {dN}{dt}=-\lambda N$

$\Rightarrow \frac {dN}N=-\lambda dt$

Integrating both sides

$\Rightarrow \int \frac {dN}N=\int-\lambda dt$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|=-\lambda t+c$

When t=0, N= $N_0$ = initial amount

$ln|N_0|=-\lambda .0+c$

$\Rightarrow c=ln|N_0|$

$ln|N|=-\lambda t+ln|N_0|$

$\Rightarrow ln|N|-ln|N_0|=-\lambda t$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{N}{N_0}|=-\lambda t$

Decay equation:

$ln|\frac{N}{N_0}|=-\lambda t$

Given that, the half life of of element X is 11 minutes.

For half life, $N=\frac12 N_0$ , t= 11 min.

$ln|\frac{N}{N_0}|=-\lambda t$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{\frac12N_0}{N_0}|=-\lambda . 11$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac12}|=-\lambda . 11$

$\Rightarrow -\lambda . 11=ln|\frac12}|$

$\Rightarrow \lambda =\frac{ln|\frac12|}{-11}$

$\Rightarrow \lambda =\frac{ln|2|}{11}$ [ $ln|\frac12|=ln|1|-ln|2|=-ln|2|$ , since ln|1|=0]

N=154 grams, $N_0$ = 870 grams, t=?

$ln|\frac{N}{N_0}|=-\lambda t$

$\Rightarrow ln|\frac{154}{870}|=-\frac{ln|2|}{11}.t$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{ln|\frac{154}{870}|\times 11}{-ln|2|}$

=27.5 minutes

It would take 27.5 minutes the element to decay to 154 grams.

alice fox and basil cat are searching for a treasure they start at the old oak tree in the field of dreams and walk 240 m, each

attashe74 [19]

alice fox's step is 3/5 m and basil cat's step is 4/5m.

note: i will be using 1/5m instead of 20 cm to keep the units consistent

1. Set up table

| Step Length | # of steps | Distance

A | x | 240/x | 240

B | x+1/5 | 240/x+1/5 | 240

2. set up equation

240/x - 100 = 240/x+0.2

3. Multiply the bases to make it:

240x+48 - 100x^2 -20x = 240x

= 100x^2-20x+48=0

4. Use vieta's theorem or quadratic equation to solve for x

x= 3/5, -4/5 but -4/5 doesnt work bc distance can't be negative

5. plug back in

A | 3/5

B | 3/5+1/5

so: alice fox's step is 3/5 m and basil cat's step is 4/5m.

hope this was helpful!!
