Answer:

The number of trucks and sedans can be

(0 trucks ,26 sedans)

(8 trucks ,21 sedans)

(24 trucks ,11 sedans)

(25 trucks ,1 sedans)

(32 trucks ,6 sedans)

(16 trucks ,16 sedans)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The  cost for trucks =$5

The cost for sedans  =$8

The total amount collected = $208

To Find:

Number of trucks and sedans passed through the toll booth =?

Solution:

Let the number of trucks be x and the number of sedans be y

Then

5x + 8y = 208-------------------------------(1)

By Trail and error method

5(0) + 8(26) = 208

5(8) + 8(21) = 208

5(24) +8(11) =208

5(25) + 8(1) = 208

5(32) + 8(6) =208

5(16) + 8(16) = 208

Rewrite the function y= x^2 + 14x + 4 in vertex form
Step2247 [10]
Vertex form is basically commplete the square
y=a(x-h)^2+k


y=x^2+14x+4
take 1/2 of 14 and square it, (7^2=49)
add that and its negative to right side
y=x^2+14x+49-49+4
factor perfect squaer
y=(x+7)^2-49+4
y=(x+7)^2-45

answer is A

A sample of computer tablet batteries has a mean battery life of 28 months and standard deviation of 4 months. What is the lifes
Ulleksa [173]

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the lifespans, in months, are given by:

1. 24 and 32.

2. 20 and 36.

3. 16 and 40.

<h3>What is the Empirical Rule?</h3>

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Hence, considering the mean of 28 months and the standard deviation of 4 months, the life spans are given by:

1. 24 and 32.

2. 20 and 36.

3. 16 and 40.
