Answer:

(x + 9)(5x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x² + 44x - 9

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × - 9 = - 45 and sum = + 44

The factors are + 45 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

5x² + 45x - x - 9 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 5x(x + 9) - 1(x + 9) ← factor out (x + 9) from each term

= (x + 9)(5x - 1) ← in factored form

kupik [55]

Answer:

(a) 0.873 (b) 0.007 (c) 0.715 (d) 0.277 (e) 1.25 and 1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the random variable X takes the value x is given by P(X=x) = $25Cx 0.05^x0.95^{25-x}$ . Then,

(a) $P(X\leq) = (25C0)(0.05^0)(0.95^{25}) + (25C1)(0.05^1)(0.95^{24}) + (25C2)(0.05^2)(0.95^{23})= 0.873$

(b) $P(X\geq5) = 1-P(X\leq4) = 1 - (0.873 + (25C3)(0.05^3)(0.95^{22}) + (25C4)(0.05^4)(0.95^{21})) = 1 - (0.873 + 0.12) = 0.007$

(c) $P(1\leqX\leq4) = (25C1)(0.05^1)(0.95^{24}) + (25C2)(0.05^2)(0.95^{23}) + (25C3)(0.05^3)(0.95^{22}) + (25C4)(0.05^4)(0.95^{21}) = 0.715$

(d) $P(X=0) = (25C0)(0.05^0)(0.95^{25}) = 0.277$

(e) E(X) = np = (25)(0.05) = 1.25 and $Sd(X) = \sqrt{Var(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = 1.09$

going downstream -

t = 14/(2 + v)

going upstream -

t = 7/(2 - v)

14/(2 + v) = 7/(2 - v)

(2 + v)/2 = 2 - v

v = 2/3km/h

Please help! Use the Law of Cosines to find the values of x and y.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

x = 8.39

y = 55.2

Step-by-step explanation:

9² + 1² - 2(9)(1)cos(50) = x²

x = 8.39

9/sin(y) = x/sin(50)

sin(y) = 0.8215200692

y = 55.23724927
