Answer:

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

Emily's age = 15 years

Tuli's age = 15 - 10 = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let

Emily age = a

Tuli age = a - 10

Two years ago their ages will be as follows.

Emily's age = a - 2

Tuli's age = a - 10 - 2 = a - 12

The product of their ages 2 years ago is 39.

(a - 2)(a - 12) = 39

a² - 12a - 2a + 24 - 39 = 0

a² - 14a - 15 = 0 (quadratic equation)

To get a

a² + a - 15a - 15 = 0

a(a + 1) - 15(a + 1)

(a + 1)(a - 15)

a = -1 or 15

we can only use 15 as it is positive.

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2? –10 –5 5 10

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2 is -10

Solution:

Need to determine which value of x from given option is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

Lets first solve 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2

=> 3x – 12 ≥ 5x + 2

=> 3x – 5x ≥ 12 + 2

=> -2x ≥ 14

=> -x ≥ 7

=> x ≤ -7

All the values of x which are less than or equal to -7 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2. From given option there is only one value that is -10 which is less than -7

Hence from given option -10 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2.

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Have a Spanish Jury possibility $= 0.40$

Jury member No. to be chosen $= n= 12$

Hispanic Juror Expected $= np = 12\times 0.40 = 4.8$

The jury group will be constituted by Hispanic Jurors $4.8$

The binomial distribution defines the behavior of a count variable X, provided:

There are a set number of data points n.

Set $n=12$

Each perception is independent. This will not affect others if your first juror is selected

One of two results is that each observation ("success" or "failure"). English or not

Each result has the same chance of "success" p. for every $p=0.40$

Well by the binomial distribution. Mean $=E(x)=np=4.8$
