(-2 - 4y)*(-8)

(-8)(-2 - 4y)

(-8)*(-2) -8*(-4y) Note: - * - = +

16 + 32y

Hope this helped.

(-2-4y)(-8)
Use distributive property:
(-2*-8)+(-4y-8)
(remember that when 2 negative numbers are multiplied together it becomes positive.

16+32y

Hope this helps :)

Dan will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of 53.96

Alja [10]

53.96+0.17x =57.96+0.12x
0.17x-0.12x=57.96-53.96
0.05x=4.00

Find the roots of the function f(x) = (2^x − 1) - (x2 + 2x − 3) with x ∈ R.<br>

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: There are no real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the roots of the function

f(x) = (2^x − 1) - (x2 + 2x − 3) with x ∈ R.

First open the bracket

2^x - 1 - x^2 - 2x + 3 = 0

Rearrange and collect the like terms

2x^2 - x^2 - 2x + 3 - 1= 0

X^2 - 2x + 2 = 0

Factorizing the above equation will be impossible, we can therefore find the root by using completing the square method or the quadratic formula.

X^2 - 2x = - 2

Half of coefficient of x is 1

X^2 - 2x + 1^2 = -2 + 1^2

( x - 1 )^2 = - 1

( x - 1 ) = +/- sqrt(-1)

X = -1 + sqrt (-1) or -1 - sqrt (-1)

The root of the function is therefore

X = -1 + sqrt (-1) or -1 - sqrt (-1)

Since b^2 - 4ac of the function is less than zero, we can therefore conclude that there is no real roots

What is the value of p?

grigory [225]

Answer: p = 42

The bottom chord is 21+21 = 42 units long. This bottom chord is 11.2 units away from the center. Any other chord the same distance from the center will have the same length. The top chord has the same length of 42 units as it is also 11.2 units from the center.

When constructing parallel lines, how can you make sure the lines you constructed are parallel

Amiraneli [1.4K]

You can make sure the lines are parallel by looking at the slope. If both lines have the same slope they’re parallel.

Suppose that 20% of the employees of a given corporation engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour. Moreover,

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

a) 0.152 = 15.2% probability that this person is a female who engages in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

b) 0.248 = 24.8% probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

20% of employees engage in physical exercise.

This 20% is composed by:

8% of 60%(males)

x% of 100 - 60 = 40%(females).

Then, x is given by:

$0.08*0.6 + 0.4x = 0.2$

$0.4x = 0.2 - 0.08*0.6$

$x = \frac{0.2 - 0.08*0.6}{0.4}$

$x = 0.38$

0.38 = 38%

Probability of being a female who engages in exercise:

40% are female, 38% of 40% engage in exercise. So

0.38*0.4 = 0.152

0.152 = 15.2% probability that this person is a female who engages in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

B. If we choose an employee at random from this corporation,what is the probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour?

40% are female, 100% - 38% = 62% of 40% do not engage in exercise. So

0.62*0.4 = 0.248

0.248 = 24.8% probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.
