Negative 4, you would divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself and when you divide -12 by 3 you get -4

If f(x)=3^x+10x and g(x)=4x-2, find (f+g)(x)

Vikentia [17]

Hi there!

First we need to remember the following.
$(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)$

Now substitute both of the formulas.
$(f + g)(x) = ({3}^{x} + 10x)+ (4x - 2)$

Work out the parenthesis.
$(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 10x + 4x - 2$

And finally collect terms.
$(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 14x - 2$

~ Hope this helps you!

Answer:

The surface area of the triangular prism is 84 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a figure is exactly what it means, the area of its outer surface or the added areas of each face that makes the figure.

Nets are a way to find surface area easier because it is an outline of the faces of the 3d figure.

But since we don’t have a net, we will just find the area of each face that forms this right triangular prism:

The two congruent triangular bases:

1/2 x 4 x 3 = 6 cm^2

6 x 2 = 12 cm^2

Lateral bottom rectangular face:

6 x 3 = 18 cm^2

Lateral to the right rectangular face:

5 x 6 = 30 cm^2

Lateral to the left rectangular face:

4 x 6 = 24 cm^2

Add up all the values:

12 + 18 + 30 + 24 = 84

The SA is 84 square centimeters

What is the volume of a rectangular prism that is 3 cm by 7 cm by by 7 cm?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

147 $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

7*7*3 = 147

volume of a rectangular prism = length*width*height, in this case, 7*7*3

Answer:

a) $P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.75)^0 (1-0.75)^{4-0}=0.0039$

$P(X=1)=(4C1)(0.75)^1 (1-0.75)^{4-1}=0.0469$

$P(X=2)=(4C2)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-2}=0.211$

$P(X=3)=(4C3)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-3}=0.422$

$P(X=4)=(4C4)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-4}=0.316$

b) $E(X) = np = 4*0.75=3$

c) $Sd(X) =\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{4*0.75*(1-0.75)}=0.866$

d) $P(X \geq 3) \geq 0.98$

And the dsitribution that satisfy this is $X\sim Binom(n=9,p=0.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=1-0.25=0.75)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.75)^0 (1-0.75)^{4-0}=0.0039$

$P(X=1)=(4C1)(0.75)^1 (1-0.75)^{4-1}=0.0469$

$P(X=2)=(4C2)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-2}=0.211$

$P(X=3)=(4C3)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-3}=0.422$

$P(X=4)=(4C4)(0.75)^2 (1-0.75)^{4-4}=0.316$

Part b

The expected value is givn by:

$E(X) = np = 4*0.75=3$

Part c

For the standard deviation we have this:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{4*0.75*(1-0.75)}=0.866$

Part d

For this case the sample size needs to be higher or equal to 9. Since we need a value such that:

$P(X \geq 3) \geq 0.98$

And the dsitribution that satisfy this is $X\sim Binom(n=9,p=0.75$

We can verify this using the following code:

"=1-BINOM.DIST(3,9,0.75,TRUE)" and we got 0.99 and the condition is satisfied.
