Answer:

The interval notation of the solution is (-4 , 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let us explain a very important point in solving inequality

- When you multiply or divide an inequality by negative number we

   must reverse the symbol of the inequality

- Ex:

∵ 2 < 3

- If we multiply the both sides of the inequality by -1, then the

  inequality will be -2 < -3 and this is completely wrong, so we must

  reverse the symbol of the inequality

∴ -2 > -3

* Now let us solve the problem

∵ -2x > -8

- Divide both sides by -2 and remember to reverse the symbol of the

  inequality

∴ x < 4

∵ -5x < 20

- Divide both sides by -5 and remember to reverse the symbol of the

  inequality

∴ x > -4

- From both solutions

∴ -4 < x < 4

∴ The solution is {x : -4 < x < 4}

- Interval notation is a way of writing the solutions of inequalities

 ( , ) if x does not equal the end numbers

 [ , ] if x equals the end numbers

 [ , ) , ( , ] if x equals one of the two end numbers

* The interval notation of the solution is (-4 , 4)

Simplify (7x2 - 2x + 9) + (3x2 + 15x – 4).
VikaD [51]

Hey! Your answer for this is

7x^2 + 3x^2 = 10x^2

-2x + 15x = 13x

9 - 4 = 5

Hence, 10x^2 + 13x + 5.

Hope this helps!

Oh no! Thomas is lost in the GGBL building after an exam, and trying to get out. Thereare four identical hallways leading away f
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each and every one of the 4 hallways is equally likely then

P(H1)=1/4P(H2)=1/2P(H3)=1/4

Now, if he chooses H1 he escapes after 12 minutes then

E(T|H1)=12

If he chooses H2 then he wastes 10 minutes and then he is again in the same starting

position so he expects to escape in E(T) minutes, then

E(T|H2)=10+E(T)

Analogously, if he chooses H3 then he wastes 40 minutes and then he is again in the same starting

position so he expects to escape in E(T) minutes, then

E(T|H3)=40+E(T)

Therefore

E(T) = E(T|H1)P(H1) + E(T|H2)P(H2) + E(T H3)P(H3) = (12) + (E(T) +10) + (E(T) + 40) = 3+ *E(T)+5+ 10 = E(T) +18 CON A'

So we have

E(T) = E(T) + 18 E(T) = 18 E(T) = 4(18) = 72

Therefore he is expected to escape in 72 minutes
