Leni [432]3 years ago

Answer:

( p - 4 ) ( p - 12 ) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this equation, let's apply the quadratic formula.

p^2 - 16p + 48 = 0

Let a = 1, b = -16, c = 48

[-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4(a)(c))] / 2 (a)

[- (-16) +/- sqrt( (-16)^2 - 4(1)(48)) ] / 2 (1)

= [ 16 +/- sqrt( 256 - 192) ] / 2

= [ 16 +/- sqrt(64) ] / 2

= [16 +/- 8] / 2

p = (16 + 8) / 2 ; p = (16 - 8) / 2

p = 24 / 2  ; p = 8 / 2

p = 12  ;  p = 4

Hence, this equation factors into the following:

( p - 4 ) ( p - 12 ) = 0

Cheers.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

the damaged items expected in the case when the 23,025 capacitors produced is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the damaged items expected in the case when the 23,025 capacitors produced is shown below:

= (5 × 23,025 capacitors) ÷ (1,535 capacitors)

= 75

Hence, the damaged items expected in the case when the 23,025 capacitors produced is 75

Answer:

slope = -\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found by identifying two points and the graph and finding the overall change in y over the change in x:

slope=\frac{(y_{2}-y_{1})  }{(x_{2}-x_{1})  }

Using the points on the given graph of (-3, 2) and (1, -2):

\frac{-1 - 2}{1 - (-3)}=\frac{-3}{4}

So, slope = -\frac{3}{4}

Briefly describe scientific notation. how is it useful for writing large and small​ numbers? how is it useful for making​ approx
Alenkasestr [34]
Scientific notation, also called pattern or notation in exponential form, is a way of writing numbers that accommodate values too large (100000000000) or small (0.00000000001) to be written in a conventional manner.

 The use of this notation is based on powers of 104
 Example:
 Big numbers:
 100000000000 = 1 * 10 ^ {11}

 Small numbers:
 0.00000000001 = 1 * 10 ^{-11}

 However, in areas such as physics and chemistry, scientific notation is important to make approximations such as:
 mass of a proton
 mass of an electron and others.

A function is defined by f(x) =6x+1.5. What is f(2.5)?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

f(x)=6x+1.5

To find f(2.5), substitute 2.5 for x. Thus:

f(2.5)=6(2.5)+1.5

Multiply:

f(2.5)=15+1.5

Add:

f(2.5)=16.5

And we're done!
