Answer:
a = -3/2 = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(1+ax) (2+3x)³
Formula
(a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3
(1 + ax) [ 2^3 + 3*2^2*3x + 3*2*(3x)^2 + (3x)^3]
(1 + ax) [ 8 + 12*3x + 6*9x^2 + 27x^3]
8 + 12*3x + <u>6*9x^2</u> + 27x^3 + 8ax + <u>36ax^2</u> + 54ax^3 + 27ax^4
coefficient of x^2 is zero
54x^2 + 36ax^2
54 + 36a = 0
36a = -54
a = -3/2
Answer:
The length of the mid-segment of the trapezoid = 7
==================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
The mid-segment of a trapezoid is the segment that connecting the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides.
As shown in the figure the two non-parallel sides are AB and CD
∴ The mid-segment of the trapezoid = 
From the figure: BC = 8 and AD = 6
∴ The mid-segment of the trapezoid = 
400$
Explanation:
In 1992, the price is 28000$ and 9600$ in 1996 so in 4 years the value the car lost is 18400$
Dividing 18400 by 4 years we get 4600 depreciation value per year.
Between 1996 and 1998 there is 2 years
So in 1998 the value of the car will be:
9600 (value in 1996) - 2x4600 = 400$
this could be represented in the following way 5/15
Probability is
Fraction= 1/3
Decimal=0.33333333333333
Percentage:33.33333%
