Answer:

$10.88 or round up to $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15 is expressed as a percent, you can convert it to a decimal.

.15, which can also be 15/100 if you were to write it as a fraction.

You are trying to find 15% of 72.50 so you would need to multiply your new decimal (.15) to your meal total. This will give you 10.875 or 10.88.

A car dealership has found that the length of time before a major repair is required on the new cars it sells is normally distri
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest in this case is:

X: length of time before a major repair is required on a new car. (months)

This variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 36 months and a standard deviation σ= 9 months.

If he wants to set a guarantee period in which only 5% of the sold cars fell, the objective is to find the value of X that has below 5% of the cars that need major repairs before the end of the guarantee period.

Check the attachment, the curve represents the distribution of the population of the time it takes before a new car needs major repairs, I've marked approximately where this value of X should be.

Symbolically:

P(X≤a)=0.05

To reach the proper value of "a" you have to work using the standard normal distribution because is a tabulated distribution and you can extrapolate it to any normal distribution.

Z= \frac{X-Mu}{Sigma}~N(0;1)

So the first step is to look in the table of the Z distribution for the value that accumulates 0.05 of probability since it is such a low probability, you have to look for the value in the left side of the table (negative values of Z). You look for 0.05 in the body of the table and then the margins for the corresponding value (see second attachment)

Z_{0.05}= -1.64

Then the value that accumulates 0.05 of probability is -1.64, now you have to reverse the standardization to reach the asked value of X

Z= (a- μ)/σ

(Z*σ)= a - μ

a=(Z*σ)+ μ

a=(-1.64*9)+36

a= 21.24 months.

The guarantee period should be 21.24 months so that only 5% of the sold cars will need major repairs before it wears of.

I hope it helps!

A standard form of a parabola with points through (2, 0) (3, 2) (4, 6)
LenKa [72]

The standard form of a parabola with points through (2, 0) (3, 2) (4, 6)

is y = x² - 3x + 2 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c, where a, b , c are constant

To find a , b , c

  • You must have 3 points lie on the parabola
  • Substitute the coordinates of each point in the equation to make system of equations of a , b and c
  • Solve the system of equation to find them

∵ The standard form of a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c

∵ The parabola passes through points (2 , 0) , (3 , 2) , (4 , 6)

- Substitute the coordinates of each point in the equation

Point (2 , 0)

∵ x = 2 and y = 0

∴ 0 = a(2)² + b(2) + c

∴ 0 = 4a + 2b + c

- Switch the two sides

∴ 4a + 2b + c = 0 ⇒ (1)

Point (3 , 2)

∵ x = 3 and 2 = 0

∴ 2 = a(3)² + b(3) + c

∴ 2 = 9a + 3b + c

- Switch the two sides

∴ 9a + 3b + c = 2 ⇒ (2)

Point (4 , 6)

∵ x = 4 and y = 6

∴ 6 = a(4)² + b(4) + c

∴ 6 = 16a + 4b + c

- Switch the two sides

∴ 16a + 4b + c = 6 ⇒ (3)

Subtract equation (1) from equations (2) and (3)

∴ 5a + b = 2 ⇒ (4)

∴ 12a + 2b = 6 ⇒ (5)

- Multiply equation (4) by -2 to eliminate b

∴ -10a - 2b = -4 ⇒ (6)

- Add equations (5) and (6)

∴ 2a = 2

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ a = 1

Substitute the value of a in equation (4) to find b

∵ 5(1) + b = 2

∴ 5 + b = 2

- Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ b = -3

Substitute the value of a and b in equation (1) to find c

∵ 4(1) + 2(-3) + c = 0

∴ 4 - 6 + c = 0

- Add like terms

∴ -2 + c = 0

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ c = 2

Substitute the values of a , b , c in the standard form above

∵ y = ax² + bx + c

∵ a = 1 , b = -3 , c = 2

∴ y = (1)x² + (-3)x + (2)

∴ y = x² - 3x + 2

The standard form of a parabola with points through (2, 0) (3, 2)

(4, 6) is y = x² - 3x + 2

There is another solution you can substitute the x-coordinate of each point in each answer to find the corresponding value of y, if the value of y gives the same value of the y-coordinate of the point for the three points then this answer is the standard form of the parabola

The area of<br>of a rectangle is (14x^4 + 7x^2) cm²<br>and its breadth is 7x^2 cm. Find its length.​
NeTakaya

Answer:

2x^1+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=L X W

which means that (14x^4+7x^2) needs to be divided by 7x^2

factorise(14x^4+7x^2) which gives 7x(2x^2+1)

divide 7x(2x^2+1) by 7x^2

gives 2x^2 +1
