Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x³+14x²+6x = -2x(ax+1)(2x-3)

<em>Divide both sides by -2x(2x-3)</em>

\frac{-2x(ax+1)(2x-3)}{-2x(2x-3)} = - \frac{12x^{3} }{-2x(2x-3)} + \frac{14x^{2} }{-2x(2x-3)} +\frac{6x}{-2x(2x-3)}

ax+1=3x+1

<em>Subtract 1 from both sides</em>

ax=3x

<em>Divide both sides by x</em>

a=3

The area of a rectangle is
ANEK [815]
Area = length x width
length = 3 x width - 5

i.e. 50 = w(3w - 5)
3w^2 - 5w - 50 = 0
(3w + 10)(w - 5) = 0
w = -10/3 or w = 5
but width cannot be negative, hence
width = 5 yd
Length = 3 x 5 - 5 = 15 - 5 = 10 yd

A relay microchip in a telecommunications satellite has a life expectancy that follows a normal distribution with a mean of 93 m
aliina [53]
The insurance period must be chosen so that the probability of a microchip failure within that period is 4%. Reference to a standard normal distribution table shows that the z-score for a cumulative probability of 4% is -1.75.
Let the insurance period be X months:
-1.75 = (X - 93)/3.8
-6.65 = X - 93
X = 83.35 months.
The answer is 83.35 months.
