Answer:

(x+2) is a factor of P(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine if x + 2 is a factor of p(x) = x ^4 + 3x^ 3 + 4x ^2 - 8

p(x) = x ^4 + 3x^ 3 + 4x ^2 - 8

To determine (x+2) is a factor , we set x+2=0 and solve for x

x+2=0 , x=-2

then we replace x with -2 in p(x)

p(x) = x^4 + 3x^ 3 + 4x ^2 - 8

p(-2) = (-2)^4 + 3(-2)^ 3 + 4(-2)^2 - 8

p(-2) = 16-24+16- 8=0

WE got p(-2)=0 , so (x+2) is a factor of P(x)

A group of students goes out to lunch. If two have burritos and five have tacos, the bill will be $19.50. If five students have
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y=19.5

5x+2y=22.5

------------------

5(2x+5y)=5(19.5)

-2(5x+2y)=-2(22.5)

-----------------------------

10x+25y=97.5

-10x-4y=-45

-----------------------

21y=52.5

y=52.5/21=2.5

2x+5(2.5)=19.5

2x+12.5=19.5

2x=19.5-12.5

2x=7

x=7/2=3.5

x=3.5, y=2.5

The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.

4.4 + [4 • 1/4 + 8.6]
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: 4.4 + (4 x 1/4 + 8.6) = 14

Step-by-step explanation: Because starting inside the parenthesis, 4 times 1/4 = 1. Then 8.6 plus 1 = 9.6. Finally, 9.6 plus 4.4 which equals 14. :)

A small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats. 14 reservations went to regular custome
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

(a) The probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(b) The probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the number of passengers showing up for the flight.

It is provided that a small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats.

Of the 17 seats, 14 reservations went to regular customers who will arrive for the flight.

Number of reservations = 19

Regular customers = 14

Seats available = 17 - 14 = 3

Remaining reservations, n = 19 - 14 = 5

P (A remaining passenger will arrive), <em>p</em> = 0.52

The random variable <em>X</em> thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 5 and <em>p</em> = 0.52.

(1)

Compute the probability of overbooking  as follows:

P (Overbooking occurs) = P(More than 3 shows up for the flight)

                                        =P(X>3)\\\\={5\choose 4}(0.52)^{4}(1-0.52)^{5-4}+{5\choose 5}(0.52)^{5}(1-0.52)^{5-5}\\\\=0.175478784+0.0380204032\\\\=0.2134991872\\\\\approx 0.2135

Thus, the probability of overbooking is 0.2135.

(2)

Compute the probability that the flight has empty seats as follows:

P (The flight has empty seats) = P (Less than 3 shows up for the flight)

=P(X

Thus, the probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.
