Answer:

The value of the missing coefficient is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to factorize the difference of two cubes

- The factorization of the difference of two cubes like a³ - b³, is a

product of a binomial and trinomial

- The binomial is the cube root of the first term and the second term

∵ The ∛a³ = a and ∛b³ = b

∴ The binomial is (a - b)

- We will find the trinomial from the binomial by square the 1st term

of the binomial and multiply the 1st term and the 2nd term of the

binomial with opposite sign of the binomial and square the 2nd

term of the binomial

∴ The trinomial is (a² + ab + b²

∴ The factorization of (a³ - b³) is (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

* Lets solve the problem

∵ 8f³ - 216g³ is the difference of two cubes

∵ ∛(8f³) = 2f

∵ ∛(216g³) = 6g

∴ The binomial is (2f - 6g)

- Lets make the trinomial

∵ (2f)² = 4f²

∵ (2f)(6g) = 12fg

∵ (6g)² = 36g²

∴ The trinomial = (4f² + 12fg + 36g²)

∴ The factorization of 8f³ - 216g³ = (2f - 6g)(4f² + 12fg + 36g²)

∴ The value of the missing coefficient is 12

Please help<br><br> -3/4(8n + 12) = 3(n-3)

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

$- \frac{3}{4} (8n + 12) = 3(n - 3)$

$- 3(8n + 12) = 12(n - 3)$

$\cancel{- 3}(8n + 12) = \cancel{12}(n - 3)$

$- (8n + 12) = 4(n - 3)$

$- 8n - 12 = 4n - 12$

$- 8n - 4n = - 12 + 12$

$- 12n = 0$

$n = 0$

$65 dress pants 20% discount

jeka57 [31]

20% of 65 = 65 * 1/5, which is 13. so 20% of 65 is $13. so a discount of 20% = 65-13 which is $52

Equation 1 :
| 5x - 6 | = -41.....no solution because an absolute vlue cannot equal a negative number

equation 2 :
| 7x + 13 | = 27...2 solutions

C. equation 2 has more solutions then equation 1.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

$\text {CI} = (60.54, \: 81.46)\\\\$

Therefore, we are 95% confident that actual mean savings for a televisit to the doctor is within the interval of ($60.54 to $81.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find out the mean savings for a televisit to the doctor from the given data.

Using Excel,

=AVERAGE(number1, number2,....)

The mean is found to be

$\bar{x} = \$71$

Let us find out the standard deviation of savings for a televisit to the doctor from the given data.

Using Excel,

=STDEV(number1, number2,....)

The standard deviation is found to be

$s = \$ 22.35$

The confidence interval is given by

$\text {confidence interval} = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\$

Where the margin of error is given by

$$ MoE = t_{\alpha/2}(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) $ \\\\$

Where n is the sample of 20 online doctor visits, s is the sample standard deviation and $t_{\alpha/2}$ is the t-score corresponding to a 95% confidence level.
