Answer:

218.7 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the  weight of male american between the ages 18 to 25 is normally distributed, with mean of 162.7 lb and a standard deviation of 28 lb.

One definition of obesity states that a person is obese if the z-score of his or her weight is greater than 2.

We will use z-score formula to solve our given problem.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, where,

z=\text{ z-score},

x=\text{ Random sample-score},

\mu=\text{ Mean},

\sigma=\text{ Standard deviation}.

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula we will get,

2=\frac{x-162.7}{28}

Now let us solve for x.

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 28 we will get,

2*28=\frac{x-162.7}{28}*28

56=x-162.7

Let us add 162.7 to both sides of our equation.

56+162.7=x-162.7+162.7

218.7=x

Therefore, the obesity threshold weight for a young adult American male is 218.7 pounds.

The parent function f(x) = log3x has been transformed by reflecting it over the x-axis, stretching it vertically by a factor of
artcher [175]

Answer:

Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some transformations for a function f(x), are:

If f(x)+k, the function is shifted down "k" units.

If f(x)-k, the function is shifted up "k" units.

If bf(x), and b>1, the functio is stretch vertically by a factor of "b".

If  -f(x), the function is reflected over the x-axis.

Therefore, knowing that the parent function f(x) = log_3(x)  was transformated by reflecting it over the x-axis, stretching vertically by a factor of 2 and shifting it down 3 units, we can determine that the following function represents the transformation:

f(x) = -2log_3(x)-3

Please answer correctly !!!!!!! Will mark Brianliest !!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

x=-2\\x=2

(You only need to give one solution)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation

(x^2+1)^2-5x^2-5=0

First, we need to foil out the parenthesis

x^4+2x^2+1-5x^2-5=0

Now we can combine the like terms

x^4-3x^2-4=0

Now, we need to factor this equation.

To factor this, we need to find a set of numbers that add together to get -3 and multiply to give us -4.

The pair of numbers that would do this would be 1 and -4.

This means that our factored form would be

(x^2-4)(x^2+1)=0

As the first binomial is a difference of squares, it can be factored futher into

(x^2+1)(x+2)(x-2)=0

Now, we can get our solutions.

The first binomial will produce two complex (Not real) solutions.

x+2=0\\\\x=-2

x-2=0\\\\x=2

So our solutions to this equation are

x=-2\\x=2

What polynomial expressions equal 8x^3+64?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

\displaystyle \boxed{8[x + 2][x^2 - 2x + 4]}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Difference of Cubes [(a³ - b³)(a² + 2ab + b²)] to figure this out:

\displaystyle 8x^3 + 64 \\ 8[x^3 + 8] \\ \\ x + 2 = \sqrt[3]{x^3 + 8}

Then, since the divisor\factor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, −c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

−2| 1 0 0 8

↓ −2 4 −8

___________

1 −2 4 0 → {x}^{2} - 2x + 4

You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x³ + 8]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an x², the −2x follows right behind it, then 4, giving you the other factor of x^2 - 2x + 4, attaching this to the first two factors you started out your work on:

\displaystyle \boxed{8[x + 2][x^2 - 2x + 4]}
