X2 - 15x + 56factor

Mathematics

Answer:

(x - 7)(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 56) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 15)

The factors are - 7 and - 8, since

- 7 × - 8 = + 56 and - 7 - 8 = - 15, hence

x² - 15x + 56 = (x - 7)(x - 8)

After a storm damages the community center, Shanika and her friends hold fundraising

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The total amount of money Shanika and her friends want to raise is $2400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

After a storm damages the community center, Shanika and her friends hold fundraising.

After the first event, they raise $240, which is 10% of the total amount that they want to raise.

Now, to find the total amount of money that Shanika and her friends want to raise.

Let the total amount of money that Shanika and her friends want to raise be $x$ .

As given 10% of fundraise is $240.

So, according to question:

$10\%\ of\ x=\$240.$

$\frac{10}{100}\times x=240$

$\frac{10x}{100}=240.$

Multiplying both sides by 100 we get:

$10x=24000.$

Dividing both sides by 10 we get:

$x=\$2400.$

Therefore, the total amount of money Shanika and her friends want to raise is $2400.

In Canada, households spent an average of $80.63 CDN monthly for high-speed broadband access.24 Assume that the standard deviati

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a normal distribution for the amount spent by Canadian households for high-speed broadband access, the formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = amount spent by the Canadian households.

u = mean amount spent monthly.

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = $80.63 CDN

s = $27.32 CDN

We want to find the probability that the average amount will exceed $85. It is expressed as

P(x greater than 85) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 85)

For x = 85

z = (85 - 80)/27.32 = 0.18

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.57142

P(x greater than 85) = 1 - 0.57142 = 0.43
