Answer:  x= -8  or x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 15x = 8      Subtract 8 from both sides to let the whole equation equal 0

            - 8     -8

2x^2 + 15x - 8 = 0      Now find two numbers that if you multiply them, their product will be -16 and their sum will be 15. An example is the numbers 16 and -1.     16 times -1 is -16  and 16 plus -1 is 15.

Rewrite the whole equation in this form,

2x^2 +16x - 1x - 8 = 0      Factor on the left side

2x ( x + 8)  -1 (x + 8) = 0     Now factor out x + 8

 

(x + 8) (2x -1) = 0            Set each expression equal zero, because for the whole expression to equation to 0, either one of them or all of them have to equation zero.

x + 8 = 0        or   2x - 1 = 0  

  -8     -8                     +1  +1

   x = - 8                  2x  = 1

                                 x = 1/2

Answer:

q = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

18 - 2q = 4 ( Isolate the term in q by subtracting 18 from both sides )

- 2q = - 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

q = \frac{-14}{-2} = 7

The smaller the standard deviation, _______________________. Select one: a. the less variability it has b. the more variability
algol13

Answer:

a. the less variability it has

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.

When your standard deviation is big your data is more dispersed.

When your standar deviation is small your mean is a representative index of your data, and there is less variability.

If there was no dispersion of the data (if all your data be the same) then the standard deviation will be 0.

HELP NEEDED ASAP!!! PLEEEEASE HELP!!!
olganol [36]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the smallest number which is a multiple of both 8 and 12? so, an multiple of 8 must have 2 as a factor at least 3 times. Similarly, multiples of 12 have at least two 2's and one 3. so we need 2x2x2x3 or 24 if every factor is to be included.

I'm not the best at explaining but you can search google to get the better Idea.

(btw this is for the fist question)

Need help with this plz
madreJ [45]

Answer:

4. x = 16.8

5. x = 35.98

Step-by-step explanation:

For both triangles that you need to work on, use the trigonometric function which is tan and you are dividing opposite by adjacent for the answers.

For number 4, the equation you are setting up is tan 35 = x/24.  Multiply 24 on both sides to get the answer which is 16.8 for the x side.

For number 5, the equation you are setting up is tan 17 = 11/x.  As a result on your calculator, you should get 35.98 for the x side.
