Answer:

x = 9 1/2                          x = -2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5-3|2x-7|=-31

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5-3|2x-7|=-31-5

-3|2x-7|=-36

divide by -3

-3/-3|2x-7|=-36/-3

|2x-7|=12

There is a positive and negative solution to the absolute value equation

2x-7 =12                2x -7 = -12

Add 7 to each side

2x-7+7 =12+7         2x-7+7 = -12+7

2x = 19                       2x = -5

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 19/2                2x/2 = -5/2

x = 9 1/2                          x = -2 1/2

Find the x-intercepts/roots of the polynomial function. Also, identify the degree of the polynomial
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7.

roots=-2,-1,1,3

critical points=(-1.5,-3),(0,6),(2,-13)

absolute minimum=-13

End behavior :approaches +infinity

Relative max=6 at (0,6)

Relative min. =-3 at (-1.5,-3)

and -13 at (2,-13)

interval of increase=(-1.5,0)∪(2,∞)

interval of decrease=(-∞,-1.5)∪(0,4)

8.

roots=-1,2

critical points=(0.5,10.5),(4,-10.5)

Abs.max/abs.min=not defined

End behavior:-∞ to +∞

Relative max=10.5

Relative min=-10.5

interval of increase=(-∞,0.5) ∪ (4,∞)

interval of decrease=(0.5,4)

Find the Surface area of the attached image and round answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

150 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle is 1/2(6)(9.5) = 28.5

there are 4 triangles

28.5 x 4 = 114

bottom is 6 x 6 = 36

114 + 36 = 150 m²

The mean incubation time of fertilized eggs is 21 days. Suppose the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

a) 20.16; b) 20.49 and 21.51

Step-by-step explanation:

We use z scores for each of these.  The formula for a z score is

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}.

For part a, we want the 20th percentile; this means we want 20% of the data to be lower than this. We find the value in the cells of the z table that are the closest to 0.20 as we can get; this is 0.2005, which corresponds with a z score of -0.84.

Using this, 21 as the mean and 1 as the standard deviation,

-0.84 = (X-21)/1

-0.84 = X-21

Add 21 to each side:

-0.84+21 = X-21+21

20.16 = X

For part b, we want the middle 39%.  This means we want 39/2 = 19.5% above the mean and 19.5% below the mean; this means we want

50-19.5 = 30.5% = 0.305 and

50+19.5 = 69.5% = 0.695.

Looking these values up in the cells of the z table, we find those exact values; 0.305 corresponds with z = -0.51 and 0.695 corresponds with z = 0.51:

-0.51 = (X-21)/1

-0.51 = X-21

Add 21 to each side:

-0.51+21 = X-21+21

20.49 = X

0.51 = (X-21)/1

0.51 = X-21

Add 21 to each side:

0.51+21 = X-21+21

21.51 = X
