Simplify: 6-a(4-a)-2a

Mathematics
1 answer:
inna [77]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a^2 - 6a + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

6−a(4−a)−2a =

6+a2+−4a+−2a

6+a2+−4a+−2a

(a^2)+(−4a+−2a)+(6)

a2+−6a+6

=a^2−6a+6

I have 47 nickels and dimes worth $4.20. How many of each type of coin do I have?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

37 dimes and 10 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

let d = # dimes

let n = # nickels

we can set up a system of equations:

n + d = 47

.05n + .10d = 4.2

if we solve the first equation for 'n' we get:  

n = 47-d

now we can substitute this in for 'n' in the second equation:

.05(47-d) + .10d = 4.2

2.35 - .05d + .10d = 4.2

2.35 + .05d = 4.2

subtract 2.35 from each side to get:

.05d = 1.85

d = 1.85÷.05

d = 37

if d+n = 47 and d=37 then n = 10

Check:

.05(10) + .1(37) should equal 4.2

.50 + 3.7 = 4.2  [It Checks Out]

Lisa bought an outfit for<br> $37.67. What is $37.67<br> rounded to the nearest<br> whole number?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Answer is 38

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first digit in the fractional part of 37.67 is less than 5 then you remove the fractional part to get the answer. If the first digit is 5 or above, then you add 1 to the integer and remove the fractional part to get the answer. First digit is 6 - it is 5 and above, you add 1 to the integer and remove fractional part and get 37.67 rounded to the nearest whole number as 38

Hope this helps

An article describes an experiment to determine the effectiveness of mushroom compost in removing petroleum contaminants from so
alexgriva [62]

Solution :

Let p_1 and p_2  represents the proportions of the seeds which germinate among the seeds planted in the soil containing 3\% and 5\% mushroom compost by weight respectively.

To test the null hypothesis H_0: p_1=p_2 against the alternate hypothesis  H_1:p_1 \neq p_2 .

Let \hat p_1, \hat p_2 denotes the respective sample proportions and the n_1, n_2 represents the sample size respectively.

$\hat p_1 = \frac{74}{155} = 0.477419

n_1=155

$p_2=\frac{86}{155}=0.554839

n_2=155

The test statistic can be written as :

$z=\frac{(\hat p_1 - \hat p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 \times (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}} + \frac{\hat p_2 \times (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}}

which under H_0  follows the standard normal distribution.

We reject H_0 at 0.05 level of significance, if the P-value or if |z_{obs}|>Z_{0.025}

Now, the value of the test statistics = -1.368928

The critical value = \pm 1.959964

P-value = $P(|z|> z_{obs})= 2 \times P(z< -1.367928)$

                                     $=2 \times 0.085667$

                                     = 0.171335

Since the p-value > 0.05 and $|z_{obs}| \ngtr z_{critical} = 1.959964$, so we fail to reject H_0 at 0.05 level of significance.

Hence we conclude that the two population proportion are not significantly different.

Conclusion :

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the \text{proportion} of the seeds that \text{germinate differs} with the percent of the \text{mushroom compost} in the soil.

a pond is being dug according to plans that have a scale of 1 inch= 6.5 feet. The maximum distance across the pond is 9.75 inche
cestrela7 [59]

We are given a scale that for every 1 in on the plan, the actual length will 6.5 ft. 

The maximum distance across the pond on the plan is 9.75 in. So that means we will need to take 6.5 ft 9.75 times. So our answer is 

6.5*9.75=63.375 ft. That's the answer. 

We can visualize this a different way

1 in = 6.5 ft

9.75 in = x ft

And from here it's a little more clear to see what needs to be done. 

Hope this helped!

Suppose that the functions r and a are defined for all real numbers x as follows. r(x)=2x-1 S(x)=5x write the expressions for (r
NeTakaya

\boxed{(r-s)(x)=-3x-1} \\ \\ \boxed{(r\cdot s)(x)=10x^2-5x} \\ \\ \boxed{(r+s)(-2)=-15}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise, we have the following functions:

r(x)=2x-1 \\ \\ s(x)=5x

And they are defined for all real numbers x. So we have to write the following expressions:

First expression:

(r-s)(x)

That is, we subtract s(x) from r(x):

(r-s)(x)=2x-1-5x \\ \\ Combine \ like \ terms: \\ \\ (r-s)(x)=(2x-5x)-1 \\ \\ \boxed{(r-s)(x)=-3x-1}

Second expression:

(r\cdot s)(x)

That is, we get the product of s(x) and r(x):

(r\cdot s)(x)=(2x-1)(5x) \\ \\ By \ distributive \ property: \\ \\ (r\cdot s)(x)=(2x)(5x)-(1)(5x) \\ \\ \boxed{(r\cdot s)(x)=10x^2-5x}

Third expression:

Here we need to evaluate:

(r+s)(-2)

First of all, we find the sum of functions r(x) and s(x):

(r+s)(x)=2x-1+5x \\ \\ Combine \ like \ terms: \\ \\ (r+s)(x)=(2x+5x)-1 \\ \\ (r+s)(x)=7x-1

Finally, substituting x = -2:

(r+s)(-2)=7(-2)-1 \\ \\ (r+s)(-2)=-14-1 \\ \\ \boxed{(r+s)(-2)=-15}
