The average of 10 numbers is -5. A new number is added to the list making the average -6. What is the new number?

Answer:

- 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is calculated as

average = \frac{total}{count}

Thus for the given 10 numbers we have

\frac{total}{10} = - 5 ( multiply both sides by 10 )

total = - 50

let the number added be x, then

\frac{total+x}{11} = - 6 ( multiply both sides by 11 )

total + x = - 66, that is

- 50 + x = - 66 ( add 50 to both sides )

x = - 16

The new number is - 16

Answer:

  f(x)=\dfrac{(x+3)(x-1)^2}{(x+4)(x+3)(x-2)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Each vertical asymptote corresponds to a zero in the denominator. When the function does not change sign from one side of the asymptote to the other, the factor has even degree. The vertical asymptote at x=-4 corresponds to a denominator factor of (x+4). The one at x=2 corresponds to a denominator factor of (x-2)², because the function does not change sign there.

__

Each zero corresponds to a numerator factor that is zero at that point. Again, if the sign doesn't change either side of that zero, then the factor has even multiplicity. The zero at x=1 corresponds to a numerator factor of (x-1)².

__

Each "hole" in the function corresponds to numerator and denominator factors that are equal and both zero at that point. The hole at x=-3 corresponds to numerator and denominator factors of (x-3).

__

Taken altogether, these factors give us the function ...

  \boxed{f(x)=\dfrac{(x+3)(x-1)^2}{(x+4)(x+3)(x-2)^2}}

What is the factored form of the expression 9x2 + 6x + 1?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

(3x + 1)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9x² + 6x + 1 ← is a perfect square of the form

(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx +  b²

Compare like terms to find a and b

a²x² = 9x² ⇒ a² = 9 ⇒ a = \sqrt{9} = 3

b² = 1 ⇒ b = \sqrt{1} = 1

and 2ab = 2 × 3 × 1 = 6

Thus

9x² + 6x + 1 = (3x + 1)²
