Answer:
Lavania observed 39 fruit flies after 6 days of observation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of fruit flies on the first day of Lavania's study.
After 6 days she had nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study.
Five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study = 5x
Nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study=5x+9
The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 5x+9
If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, then x=6, then
Answer:
-13x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x+5)(x-2)
Multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second (foil)
Step 1: Expand it by writing out each multiplication. I added a picture showing which order to do it. (go in order of green, red, blue, yellow.) (you can remember this as first, outside, inside, last.)
When you expand it'll look like: 4x⋅x+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2
Step 2: Calculate product
4x⋅x+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2 (for the 4x⋅x it would be written like )
+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2
+4x⋅-2-5x-5⋅-2 (4x⋅-2 becomes -8x) (multiply 4x times -2)
-8x-5x-5⋅-2
-8x-5x-5⋅-2 (-5⋅-2 becomes +10) (multiply -5 times -2)
-8x-5x+10
Step 3: collect like terms
-8x-5x+10 (-8x-5x becomes -13x) (-8x times -5x)
-13x+10 is the most simplified so it should be your final answer
Answer:
You would get around $44.35 just round it. Hope this helps:)

Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+4) ^ (1/3) + (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = 0
Subtract (x+4) ^ (1/3) from each side
(x+4) ^ (1/3) - (x+4) ^ (1/3)+ (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)
(2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)
Cube each side
(2x+8) ^ (1/3) ^3= -(x+4) ^ (1/3)^3
2x+8 = -(x+4)
Distribute the negative sign
2x+8 = -x -4
Add x to each side
2x+8 +x =-x+x-4
3x+8 = -4
Subtract 8 from each side
3x+8-8 =-4-8
3x =-12
Divide by 3
3x/3 = -12/3
x = -4
Complete question:
Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby this mention is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the group consists of 36 couples.
A) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of girls in groups of 36 births.
B) Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low and significantly high.
C) Is the result of 33 girls significantly high? A result of 33 girls would suggest the method is effective or is not effective?
Answer:
a) mean = 18
Standard deviation =3
b) low range = 12
High range = 24
c) The result of 33 girls is significantly high. Yes, the method is effective.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
p = 0.5
n = 36
a) The mean is the product of n and p
Mean u = np
u = 36 * 0.5 = 18
The standard deviation is the square root of the product of n and p&q.
S.d ó = 
b) To find the range rule of thumb:
• For low range
Low range = u - 2ó
= 18 - (2 * 3)
= 12
• High range
= u + 2ó
= 18 + (2*3)
= 24
c) The result is significantly high, because 33 is greater than 24 girls.
A result of 33 girls would prove the method as effective.
