Answer: -1.33 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the Z-score :

Z=\dfrac{\text{Expected value - Mean}}{\text{Standard deviation}}

Given: Mean = 191  and Standard deviation = 21

Then , the z-score corresponding to the expected value of 163 will be :

Z=\dfrac{163-191}{21}\\\\=\dfrac{-28}{21}\approx-1.33

Hence, the z score corresponding to selling 163 inhalers is -1.33 .

Your parents have decided to buy a new Toyota 4Runner for 25,635. According to the dealer, the car will depreciate in value appr
chubhunter [2.5K]
Let the value of the car be represented by V and the amount of years by y. 
This gives us the following formula:
V = 25,635 - 3000y
(This is because we start with a value of $25,635 and the value decreases by $3,000 every year 'y')

Now, we want to know when the car is worth $3,135, so we know V = 3,135
Now we can make up our equation:
25,365 - 3,000y = 3,135

Collecting terms gives us:
-3,000y = -22,500

Finally we divide by -3,000 to find 'y'
y = -22,500 / -3,000 = 7.5

Hence, the car will be worth $3,135 after 7.5 years.

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions to the quadratic equation below x^2-6x-5=0
Sonja [21]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=3-\sqrt{14}\ \vee\ x=3+\sqrt{14}}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-6x-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\x^2-6x=5\\\\x^2-2(x)(3)=5\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(3)+3^2=5+3^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-3)^2=5+9\\\\(x-3)^2=14\to x-3=\pm\sqrt{14}\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\\\x=3-\sqrt{14}\ \vee\ x=3+\sqrt{14}

8. A substance has a half life of 2.347 minutes.
mina [271]

Answer:

a.) 4 half lives have passed

b) 9.388 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for exponential growth / decay is given as:

A=A_0b^{\frac{t}{c}}

Where A is the final population

A_0 is the initial population

b is the growth factor

c is the time taken for the growth 'b'

t is the amount of time

Here, we are given that:

A = 6. 9 grams

A_0 = 110.4 grams

b = \dfrac{1}{2}

c = 2.347 min

To find:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay.

b.) Total time in the decay.

Solution:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay is nothing but equal to \frac{t}{c}.

Putting the values in the formula, we get:

6.9=110.4\times \frac{1}2^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 6.9=110.4\times 0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 0.0625=0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{c} =4

Therefore, the answer is:

<em>4 half lives </em>have passed.

b.) Total time of decay. We have to find the value of t here.

From answer of part a.):

\dfrac{t}{c} =4\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2.347} =4\\\Rightarrow t =\bold{9.388\ min}

Solve for x 5x + 4/2 = 7
aev [14]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+\frac{4}{2} = 7

5x+4 =7 (2)

5x+4=14

5x=14-4

5x=10

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{10}{5}

x=2
