This is an examination to test your level of skill. By asking this quesiton to others, you do not show your true level and maybe be placed in a higher math than you are able.





factor
remember
if ab=0
assume that a and/or b=0


p^2+13p-30=0
fidn what 2 numbers add to 13 and multiply to -30
15 and -2
(p+15)(p-2)=0

set each to zero
p+15=0
p=-15

p-2=0
p=2

the roots are p=-15 and/or 2

How do I solve equations with a variable to the power of something (give steps please)
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring will reveal the solution. So we divide the equation by the greatest common factor of the terms and use that factor as the coefficient. In this case the greatest common factor is just x.

2x^2+5x

x(2x+5) so the equation will equal zero when either of those expressions is zero because zero times anything is zero. x=0 and x=-5/2

Scores from an exam are normally distributed with a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose 188 students take the exam
charle [14.2K]

The mean is \mu=85 and standard deviation is \sigma=5. Then the variable X\sim N(85,5).

Use substitution Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{X-85}{5}, then the variable Z\sim N(0,1).

The probability Pr(X>80) can be calculated in the following way:

for X=80, Z=\dfrac{80-85}{5} =-1 and Pr(X>80)=Pr(Z>-1). From the diagram Pr(Z>-1)=0.34+0.34+0.135+0.025=0.84.

Conclusion: if 188 students take the exam, then 188·0.84=157.92 (157) would receive a score above 80

Match the compound inequalities
kondor19780726 [428]

I one is 8x<24 and -8≤2x-4

Hence x <24/8 =3 and -4≤2x:  divide by positive 2 to get -2≤x

Hence solution is -2≤x<3

Therefore c is the correct matching for 1.

2) 5x-2>13 or -4x≥8  

i.e. 5x>15 or x≤8/(-4) = -2 (since dividing by negative inequality reverses)

Or x>3 or x ≤-2

Hence solution is two regions to the right of 3 excluding 3 and left of -2 including -2.

Graph b is the correct match.

3) -25≤9x+2<20

Subtract 2

-27≤9x<18: Now divide by positive 9

-3≤x<2

Hence graph is the region between -3 and 2 including only -3.

Graph a is correct matching for question 3.

Using the expression 10 x 2/5 as an example, describe how to multiply a whole number by a fraction that is less than one.
Schach [20]
To multiply a whole number by a fraction less than one, you have to rewrite the whole number in the expression as a fraction by putting a one under it.
For example, in 10 x 2/5, you would rewrite the 10 to 10/1 x 2/5.
Then, you would multiply the top and bottom of the two fractions. In this case, it would be 10 x 2 and 1x5. This would result in 20/5.
Finally, you would simplify this fraction by dividing. The final answer is 4.
