Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x:

x / 2 - 5 = 12

to cancel out the 5, add 5 to both sides:

x / 2 = 17

to cancel out the 2, multiply both sides by 2:

x = 34

________

34 / 2 - 5 = 12

FACTOR the following quadratic expression: x^2-3x-18. Clearly show your steps OR explain your reasoning and CHECK your answer by

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The factors of x² - 3·x - 18, are;

(x - 6), (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic expression is presented as follows;

x² - 3·x - 18

To factorize the given expression, we look for two numbers, which are the constant terms in the factors, such that the sum of the numbers is -3, while the product of the numbers is -18

By examination, we have the numbers -6, and 3, which gives;

-6 + 3 = -3

-6 × 3 = -18

Therefore, we can write;

x² - 3·x - 18 = (x - 6) × (x + 3)

Which gives;

(x - 6) × (x + 3) = x² + 3·x - 6·x - 18 = x² - 3·x - 18

Therefore, the factors of the expression, x² - 3·x - 18, are (x - 6) and (x + 3)

A food company sells salmon to various customers. The mean weight of the salmon is 37 lb with a standard deviation of 2 lbs. The

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The standard deviation for the mean weigth of Salmon is 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount order stores.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean sample of the sum of n random variables is

$\overline{X} = \frac{X_1+X_2+...+X_n}{n}$

If $X_1, ..., X_n$ are indentically distributed and independent, like in the situation of the problem, then the variance of $X_1 + .... + X_n$ will be the sum of the variances, in other words, it will be n times the variance of $X_1$ .

However if we multiply this mean by 1/n (in other words, divide by n), then we have to divide the variance by 1/n², thus $\overkine{X} = \frac{V(X_1)}{n}$ and as a result, the standard deviation of $\overline{X}$ is the standard deviation of $X_1$ divided by $\sqrt{n}$ .

Since the standard deviation of the weigth of a Salmon is 2 lbs, then the standard deviations for the mean weigth will be:

Restaurants: We have boxes with 9 salmon each, so it will be $\frac{2}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{2}{3}$
Grocery stores: Each carton has 49 salmon, thus the standard deviation is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{2}{7}$
Discount outlet stores: Each pallet has 64 salmon, as a result, the standard deviation is $\frac{2}{\sqrt{64}} = \frac{1}{4}$

We conclude that de standard deivation of the mean weigth of salmon of the types of shipment given is: 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount outlet stores.
