A) Car A travels x km for every litre of petrol while car B travels

Mathematics
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago

Answer:   16 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

A:   1l          x  km

B:   1l         x+5   km

Running 400 km   A used   400/x  litres

Running  400 km  B used  400/(x+5)  litres

400/x- 400/(x+5)= 4

400*(x+5)- x*400-4*x*(x+5)=0

400*x+2000-400*x-4*x²-20*x=0

2000-4*x²-20*x=0     difide by 4 both sides of equation

500-x²-5*x=0

Lets solve the equation using discriminant:

D=5²-(-1)*4*500=2025

sqrt(D)=45

x1= (5+45)/(-2)= -25          x2=(5-45)/(-2)=20

x1=-25     x2=20

x1<0 so is not the solution of the problem ( number of litres can't  be negative)

So A uses  litr per x=20 km     and B uses 1 litr per 20+5=25 km

Running 400 km B uses 400/25=16 litres

The expression which represents the other factor, or factors, of the given polynomial is option (C) (2x-1)(x+1)

A cubic equation in algebra is a one-variable equation of the form ax3+bx2+cx+d=0 where an is nonzero. The roots of the cubic function defined by the left side of this equation are the solutions to this equation.

Given expression 2x³-3x²-3x+2 whose one of factor is (x-2)

We have to find second factor of given equation

First we will be rational root theorem to given expression so will get following expression:

\left(x+1\right)\frac{2x^3-3x^2-3x+2}{x+1}

So one factor is (x-1) and now simplifying \frac{2x^3-3x^2-3x+2}{x+1}  we get              2x² - 5x +2 and the factor of 2x² - 5x +2 will be (2x-1)(x-2)

Hence the expression which represents the other factor, or factors, of the given polynomial is option (C) (2x-1)(x+1)

Suppose that IQ scores have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 104 and a standard deviation of 17. Using the empirical ru
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of IQ scores are between 87 and 121

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 104

Standard deviation = 17

Using the empirical rule, what percentage of IQ scores are between 87 and 121

87 = 104 - 1*17

So 87 is one standard deviation below the mean

121 = 104 + 1*17

So 121 is one standard deviation above the mean

By the Empirical Rule, 68% of IQ scores are between 87 and 121

A quality control manager at a factory selects 7 light bulbs at random for inspection out of every
shutvik [7]

Answer:

350 lightbulbs

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the number of batches made.

20,000 divided by 400 = 50

This means that there are 50 batches in which 7 light bulbs will be selected at random to be inspected.

We can multiply the number of batches to the lightbulbs being inspected.

50 times 7 = 350

Therefore, 350 lightbulbs will be inspected.

Please tell me if I am incorrect :)
