Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal- get all X's on one side, and all whole numbers on the other

2+3x -x = 4x

First, combine like terms on each side of the equal sign

2+ 2x = 4x

Next, think about the additive inverse property. What, added to 2x, equals 0? 2x + (-2x) =0! So, we <u>subtract</u> 2x from both sides!

2= 4x-2x

Simplify

2= 2x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (in this case, 2)

2/2 = x

2/2 is equal to 1

1= x

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Combining the x terms, we get

2 + 2x = 4x, or 2 = 2x.

Then, after we divide both sides by 2 to isolate x, we get x = 1

A tablet PC contains 3217 music files. The distribution of file size is highly skewed with many small files. Suppose the true me

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Let X the random variable who represents the file sizeof music. We know the following info:

$\mu =2.3,\sigma =3.25$

We select a sample of n=50 nails. That represent the sample size.

Since the sample size is large enough n >30, we can use the central limit theorem. From this theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And we can approximate the distribution of the sample mean as a normal distribution and no matter if the distribution for X is right skewed or no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Explain how to find simple interest

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal, by the number of days that elapse between payments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal x rate x time = interest.

$100 x .05 x 1 = $5 simple interest for one year.

$100 x .05 x 3 = $15 simple interest for three years.

Given that −4i is a zero, factor the following polynomial function completely. Use the Conjugate Roots Theorem, if applicable. f

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ f(x)=(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5) \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, the Conjugate Roots Theorem states that if a complex number is a zero of real polynomial its conjugate is a zero too. It means that (x-4i)(x+4i) are factors of f(x).

$\text{Meaning that } (x-4i)(x+4i) =x^2-(4i)^2=x^2+16 \text{ is a factor of f(x).}$

The coefficient of the leading term is 1 and the constant term is -240 = 16 * (-15), so we a re looking for a real number such that.

$f(x)=x^4-2x^3+x^2-32x-240\\\\ =(x^2+16)(x^2+ax-15)\\\\ =x^4+ax^3-15x^2+16x^2+16ax-240$

We identify the coefficients for the like terms, it comes

a = -2 and 16a = -32 (which is equivalent). So, we can write in $\mathbb{R}$ .

$\\f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)$

The sum of the zeroes is 2=5-3 and their product is -15=-3*5, so we can factorise by (x-5)(x+3), which gives.

$f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x^2+3x-5x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x(x+3)-5(x+3))\\\\=\boxed{(x^2+16)(x+3)(x-5)}$

And we can write in $\mathbb{C}$

$f(x)=\boxed{(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5)}$

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
