Answer:

(4, 0) and (6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that we have is:

$g(x)=x^2-10x+24$

This is the function of a parabola.

to find the points where the function crosses the x-axis, we need to find the values of x for which g(x) (which is the value of the y-axis) is equal to zero.

so we need $g(x)=0$ for the function to be crossing the x-axis.

Thus our equation becomes:

$x^2-10x+24=0$

and we can solve this equation with the quadratic formula or by factoring.

I will sove by factoring:

To factor this type of equations we need to find 2 number that satisfy the following:

when multiplied result in +24 (the independent number of the equation)

and when added or substracted result in -10 (the coefficient of the x in the equation)

In this case those 2 number are: -6 and -4 because:

(-6)(-4)=+24

-6 - 4 = -10

Thus we arrange our factored equation as follows:

from $x^2-10x+24=0$ through factoring we get:

$(x-6)(x-4)=0$

and because of the zero factor property (if two things when multiplied result in zero one of them or both must be zero), thus our x values are:

$x-6=0\\x=6\\$

and

$x-4=0\\x=4$

thus, our points are those with and y coordinate of 0 and an x coordinate of 6 and 4:

(4,0) and (6,0)

Answer:

245 days per year ; 1715 hours per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Every emplyoee works 5 days per week , 49 weeks per year. So,

Every employee works,

$5 \times 49$ days = 245 days per year .

Every employee works 7 hours per day,

so, every employee works $7 \times 245$ hours

= 1715 hours per year .

Solve problem-4/9 - 8/9 =?

mrs_skeptik [129]

it is the same denominator therefore only the numerators are added and the sign is maintained. The answer is -12/9 but it can be reduced to -4/3.

Genetically modified foods: According to a 2014 Pew Research survey, a majority of the American general public (57%) says that g

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

If we assume that 57% of Americans says that GM foods are generally unsafe to eat, then there is an 8.8% chance that random sample results will show 60% or more who says that GM foods are generally unsafe to eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Hypothesis testing, p-value helps to show the significance of one's results.

For hypothesis testing, the first thing to define is the null and alternative hypothesis.

The null hypothesis plays the devil's advocate and is always about the absence of significant difference between two variables being compared.

While, the alternative hypothesis takes the other side of the hypothesis; that there is indeed a significant difference between two proportions being compared.

For this question, the null hypothesis is that 57% of Americans say that GM foods are generally unsafe to eat.

H₀: p = 0.57

And the alternative hypothesis would be that more than 57% of Americans say that GM foods are generally unsafe to eat.

Hₐ: p > 0.57

The p-value is actually defined as the probability of obtaining results as extreme as the observed results in the statistical analysis provided that the null hypothesis is true.

For this question , it is evident that the p-value (0.088) is expressing the probability of getting results as extreme as 60% or more Americans saying that GM foods are unsafe to eat provided that the null hypothesis (57% of Americans say that GM foods are generally unsafe to eat) is true.

Hope this Helps!!!

Add −1.25+2.5 Plot the first addend and the sum on the number. Please tell the explain

Assoli18 [71]

If signs are different you subtract. So 2.5- -1.25 equals 1.25 and keep the sign of the biggest number

(1+x^2)dy/dx+2xy-4x^2=0 bu using Bernoulli's Equation

erastovalidia [21]

Not of Bernoulli type, but still linear.

$(1+x^2)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+2xy=4x^2$

There's no need to find an integrating factor, since the left hand side already represents a derivative:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[(1+x^2)y]=(1+x^2)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+2xy$

So, you have

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[(1+x^2)y]=4x^2$

and integrating both sides with respect to $x$ yields

$(1+x^2)y=\displaystyle\int4x^2\,\mathrm dx$
$(1+x^2)y=\dfrac43x^3+C$
$y=\dfrac{4x^3}{3(1+x^2)}+\dfrac C{1+x^2}$
