Answer:
The expression x² + 8x + 7 can be factored out as (x + 7)(x + 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see how this factors by looking at the last term, and the coefficient of the second term. You need to find two numbers that multiply to make seven, and add to make eight.
Because seven is a prime number, this becomes very easy. If this works at all, the numbers must be seven and one.
And lo, if you check, seven and one do indeed add up to be eight, so that's what we need to use. Let's do it:
x² + 8x + 7
= x² + x + 7x + 7
= x(x + 1) + 7(x + 1)
= (x + 7)(x + 1)
Answer: 28748.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Total investment = $10,500
Let x = amount of first investment, and y the amount of the second investment.
First investment:
Interest rate = 9 (1/5)% = 0.092
Earned interest = 0.092x
Second investment:
Interest rate = 9% = 0.09
Earned interest = 0.09y
Total interest after one year is $957.00, therefore
0.092x + 0.09y = 957
or
1.0222x + y = 10633.33 (1)
Also,
x + y = 10500 (2)
Subtract (2) from (1).
0.0222x = 133.33
x = 6000
y = 10500 - x = 4500
Answer:
The first investment is $6,000 at 9 (1/5)% rate;
The second investment is $4,500 at 9% rate.
Answer:
The interval (162, 188)would represent the middle 68% of the scores of all the games that Rashaad bowls.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the empirical rule of normal distribution, for any normally distributed curve, the values lie between the extreme values i.e
(μ - σ) and (μ + σ).
Given
μ = 175
σ = 13
(μ - σ) = 175 -13 = 162
(μ + σ) = 175 + 13 = 188
Hence the required interval is 162, 188
