Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The y- intercept is at (0, 6) ⇒ c = 6

The x- coordinate of the vertex is at the midpoint of the zeros, that is

m = $\frac{-3-1}{2}$ = $\frac{-4}{2}$ = - 2

Since the zeros are x = - 3 and x = - 1 then the factors are (x + 3), (x + 1) and

f(x) = a(x + 3)(x + 1) = a(x² + 4x + 3)

Comparing with f(x) = ax² + 8x + 6 ⇒ a = 2

Thus

f(x) = 2x² + 8x + 6

Substitute m = - 2 into the equation for value of n

n = 2(- 2)² + 8(- 2) + 6 = 8 - 16 + 6 = - 2

Hence

c = 6, m = - 2, a = 2, n = - 2

A popcorn company builds a machine to fill 1 kg bags of popcorn. They test the first hundred bags filled and find that the bags

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a popcorn company builds a machine to fill 1 kg bags of popcorn. They test the first hundred bags filled and find that the bags have an average weight of 1,040 grams with a standard deviation of 25 grams.

i.e. Sample mean = 1040 and

Sample std dev s = 25 gm

Sample size n = 100

Hence by central limit theorem we have the sample mean follows a normal distribution with mean =1040 and std dev = s = 25 gm

$\bar X = N(1040,25)$

Normal curve would be with mean 1040 and std deviatin 25

b) P(X>1115)

= 1-0.9987

=0.0013

i.e. 0.13% would receive a bag that had a weight greater than 1115 grams

A box contains different colored paper clips. The probability of drawing two red paper clips from the box without replacement is

ivann1987 [24]

Answer: 5/14 which is choice B

================================================

How I got this answer:

Define the following events

A = event of picking a red paper clip on the first selection

B = event of picking a red paper clip on the second drawing

Replacement is not made.

Now onto the probabilities for each

P(A) = 2/5 = 0.4 is given to us as this is simply the probability of picking red on the first try

P(A and B) = probability of both events A and B happeing simultaneously = 1/7

P(B|A) = probability event B occurs, given event A has occured

P(B|A) = probability of selecting red on second selection, given first selection is red (no replacement)

P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)

P(B|A) = (1/7) / (2/5)

P(B|A) = (1/7) * (5/2)

P(B|A) = (1*5)/(7*2)

P(B|A) = 5/14

So if event A happens, then the chances of event B happening is 5/14

------------------

A more concrete example:

If we had 15 paperclips, and 6 of them were red, then

P(A) = (# of red)/(# total) = 6/15 = 2/5

P(B|A) = (# of red left)/(# total left) = (6-1)/(15-1) = 5/14

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A) = (2/5)*(5/14) = 10/70 = 1/7

The circumference of Tyler's bike tire is 72 inches. What is the diameter of the tire?

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The diameter is 22.92 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this question

in this case we know the circumference of a circle, and we need to find out the diameter.

let's remember

the radius of a circle can be defined as

$radius=\frac{diameter}{2}\\ or\\diameter=2* radius( equation\ 1)\\$

also

$circumference=2*\pi *radius(equation2)\\$

Step1

replace the value of the circumference of tyler's bike in equation 2 and isolate radius to find radius

$72 inches=2*\pi *radius\\\\radius=\frac{72}{2*\pi } \radius =11.46\ inches$

Step 2

now, replace the value of radius into equation 1 to find diameter

radius=11.46 in

$diameter=2* radius( equation\ 1)\\\\diameter=2*11.46\\diameter=22.92$

so, the diameter is 22.92 inches

I really hope it helps, have a great day.

It takes 32 minutes for 8 people to paint 8 walls. How many minutes does it take 12 people to paint 12 walls ? Confused !

Radda [10]

Answer:

It takes 32 Minutes for 12 people to paint 12 walls

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 8 people 32 minutes to paint 8 walls, then that means each person takes 32 minutes to paint 1 wall. With that being said, If you have 12 people painting 12 walls, It will take 32 minutes for all 12 walls to be painted.

Hope this helps!
