Yes. When the function f(x) = x3 – 75x + 250 is divided by x + 10, the remainder is zero. Therefore, x + 10 is a factor of f(x) = x3 – 75x + 250. 

According to the remainder theorem when f(x) is divided by (x+a) the remainder is f(-a). 
In this case, 
f(x)=x^3-75x+250 
(x+a)=(x+10) 
Therefore, the remainder f(-a)=f(-10) 

=x^3-75x+250 
=(-10)^3-(75*-10)+250 
=-1000+750+250 
=1000-1000 
=0. 
The remainder is 0. So, (x+10) is a factor of x^3-75x+250.

The graph represents a distribution of data.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Mean=50

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a probability distribution is a <u>measure of central tendency</u>,and gives information about how the possible values of x are distributed.

The vertical axis measures the probability of  finding a specific value of x in the sample.  The probability of finding a value near the mean is high (that is why the value of the function that is depicted in the vertical axis, increases as we get closer to the mean=50): this is because the mean is that value of x around which higher probability of occurrence is associated.

A rancher wants to fence in an area of 1000000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down t
frosja888 [35]

The shortest length of the fence used by the rancher in a rectangular field of 1000000 square feet is 4899 ft.

<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>

The area of a rectangle is a region enclosed in four corners where two opposite sides are equal. The area of the rectangle is mathematically expressed as:

Area of a rectangle = length(x) × breath(y)

1000000 sq.ft = (x) × (y) ---- (1)

However, to determine the fencing, we have:

Length of fencing = 2x + 2y  

  • since the rectangle has four sides and opposite sides are equal

Suppose we use the x-direction to estimate the region where the fencing is located, we have:

Length of fencing = 2x + 2y + x

Length of fencing = 3x + 2y ---- (2)

From equation (1), make (y) the subject of the formula and replace the value of y with equation (2)

The Length of fencing is:

\mathbf{L = 3x - 2( \dfrac{1000000}{x})}

\mathbf{\dfrac{dL}{dx} = 3 - \dfrac{2000000}{x^2} = 0}

\mathbf{ x^2= \dfrac{2000000}{3} }

\mathbf{ x= \dfrac{1000\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} }

\mathbf{x = \dfrac{1000 \sqrt{6}}{3}}

Now, if we replace the value with equation (1), then y will be:

\mathbf{y = \dfrac{1000000}{\dfrac{1000 \sqrt{6}}{3}} }\\ \\  \\ \\ \mathbf{y = \dfrac{3000 }{\sqrt{6}}}

\mathbf{x =500\sqrt{6}}

Now, the shortest length of the fencing can be computed by using the equation (2):

L = 3x + 2y

\mathbf{L = 3( \dfrac{1000  \sqrt{6}}{3}) + 2(500 \sqrt{6})}

\mathbf{L =1000  \sqrt{6} + 1000 \sqrt{6}}

\mathbf{L =2000  \sqrt{6} }

\mathbf{L \simeq 4899 \ ft}
