Let the shortest side be = a, then side b = 2·a and side c = (b + 24)
We are given that a + b + c = 84
Substituting for b and c
a + 2·a + (a + 24) = 84
4·a + 24 = 84
4·a = 84 - 24 = 60
a = 60/4 = 15 feet
b = 2·15 = 30 feet
c = 15 + 24 = 39 feet
sorry if i am wrong
The 8th number in this sequence is -16. You are subtracting 3 between each set of numbers.
a1= 8-5= 3
a2= 5-2= 3
a3= 2-(-1)= 3
a4= -1 - (-4)= 3
a5= -4 - (-7)= 3
a6= -7 - (-10)= 3
a7= -10 - (-13)= 3
a8= -13 - (-16)= 3
ANSWER: -16
Hope this helps! :)
The Factor Theorem says (x - a) is a factor of function p(x) if p(a)=0
so check for p(-2)
= -2^4 +3(-2)^3 + 4(-2)^2 - 8
= 16 - 24 +16 -8
= 0
so (x + 2) is a factor
Answer:
a) 0.9
b) Mean = 1.58
Standard Deviation = 0.89
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.
Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.
Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

Also,


b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.
