Which expression is equivalent to (2x2 +3)(x+4)

Can somebody help me with this

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s just like adding except with a variable so 5x+3x is like 5+3 except with x so 8x+3=16

According to the manufacturer of the candy Skittles, 20% of the candy produced are red. If we take a random sample of 100 bags o

igomit [66]

Answer:

Probability that the proportion in our sample of red candies will be less than 20% is 0.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 20% of the candy produced are red. A random sample of 100 bags of Skittles is taken.

The distribution we can use here is;

$\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, p = 0.20 and n = 100

Let $\hat p$ = proportion of red candies in our sample

So, P( $\hat p$ < 0.20) = P( $\frac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n} } }$ < $\frac{0.20 - 0.20}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2 (1- 0.2)}{100} } }$ ) = P(Z < 0) = 0.5

Therefore, probability that the proportion in our sample of red candies will be less than 20% is 0.5 .

What interest is needed to earn $137.50 on a deposit of $500 for five years if it earns simple interest?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest = $137.50

Principal= $500

time = 5 years

We want to find the rate R

Simple interest= PRT/100

137.50 = 500*R*5/100

137.50=2500R/100

cross multiply

137.5*100= 2500R

13750= 2500R

divide both sides by 2500

R= 13750/2500

R=5.5%

Hence the rate is 5.5%

A company manufactures running shoes and basketball shoes. The total revenue (in thousands of dollars) from x1 units of running

Alborosie

Answer:

$x_1 =2 , x_2=7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the revenue function given by $R(x_1,x_2) = -5x_1^2-8x_2^2 -2x_1x_2+34x_1+116x_2$ . We want to find the values of each of the variables such that the gradient( i.e the first partial derivatives of the function) is 0. Then, we have the following (the explicit calculations of both derivatives are omitted).

$\frac{dR}{dx_1} = -10x_1-2x_2+34 =0$

$\frac{dR}{dx_2} = -16x_2-2x_1+116 =0$

From the first equation, we get, $x_2 = \frac{-10x_1+34}{2}$ .If we replace that in the second equation, we get

$-16\frac{-10x_1+34}{2} -2x_1+116=0= 80x_1-2x_1+116-272= 78x_1-156$

From where we get that $x_1 = \frac{156}{78}=2$ . If we replace that in the first equation, we get

$x_2 = \frac{-10\cdot 2 +34}{2}=\frac{14}{2} = 7$

So, the critical point is $(x_1,x_2) = (2,7)$ . We must check that it is a maximum. To do so, we will use the Hessian criteria. To do so, we must calculate the second derivatives and the crossed derivatives and check if the criteria is fulfilled in order for it to be a maximum. We get that

$\frac{d^2R}{dx_1dx_2}= -2 = \frac{d^2R}{dx_2dx_1}$

$\frac{d^2R}{dx_{1}^2}=-10, \frac{d^2R}{dx_{2}^2}=-16$

We have the following matrix,

$\left[\begin{matrix} -10 & -2 \\ -2 & -16\end{matrix}\right]$ .

Recall that the Hessian criteria says that, for the point to be a maximum, the determinant of the whole matrix should be positive and the element of the matrix that is in the upper left corner should be negative. Note that the determinant of the matrix is $(-10)\cdot (-16) - (-2)(-2) = 156>0$ and that -10<0. Hence, the criteria is fulfilled and the critical point is a maximum
