Choose the correct simplification of the expression (8x − 5)(2x2 − 5x − 6). (1 point)

1 answer:

6 0

The easiest terms to check are the first (8x)(2x²) = 16x³ and the last (-5)(-6) = 30. This check eliminates the first choice. The remaining choices differ only in the sign and coefficient of the squared term, so that is the one we need to find.

The squared term will be the sum of the products of factors whose degrees total 2:
(8x)(-5x) + (-5)(2x²) = -40x² -10x² = -50x²

The appropriate choice is
16x³ -50x² -23x +30

The U.S. population in 1910 was 92 million people. In 1990, the population was 280 million. This could either be a linear or exp

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The linear model means that there is a uniform increase and in this case of US population from 92 million people in 1910 to 250 million people in 1990 .

This means an increase of 250 − 92 = 158 million in 1990 -1910 = 80 years or 158 80 = 1.975 million per year and in x years it will become 92 + 1.975 x million people. This can be graphed using the linear function 1.975 ( x − 1910 ) + 92 ,

graph{1.975(x-1910)+92 [1890, 2000, 85, 260]}

The exponential model means that there is a uniform proportional increase i.e. say p % every year and in this case of US population from 92 million people in 1910 to 250 million people in 1990 .

This means an increase of 250 − 92 = 158 million in 1990 − 1910 = 80 years or

p % given by 92 ( 1 + p ) 80 = 250 which gives us ( 1 +p ) 80 = 250 92 which simplifies to p = ( 250 92 ) 0.0125 − 1 = 0.0125743 or 1.25743 % .

This can be graphed as an exponential function 92 × 1.0125743 ( x − 1910 ) , which gives population in a year y and this appears as graph{92(1.0125743^(x-1910)) [1900, 2000, 85, 260]}

Ivan drove 871 miles in 13 hours. At the same rate how many miles will he drive in 9 hours( HELP)

Tasya [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

speed = 871÷13

speed = 67 mph

distance = speed x time

distance = 67mph X 9hrs

distance = 603 m

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.95. Assuming indep

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a) There is a 99.99997% probability that at least one valve opens.

b) There is a 22.62% probability that at least one valve fails to open.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it open, or it does not. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
