Let James be x years old
Joe = 10 + x
After 8 years
18 + x = 3(x)
18 + x = 3x
18 = 2x
x = 9
Joe is 19
James is 9
Answer:
4 19/20
Step-by-step explanation:
9 1/4 + 5 4/5 = 15 1/20
20- 15 1/20 = 4 19/20
<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:
A) 60% ± 18%.
Explanation:
In a confidence interval, the margin of error is given by z*(</span>σ/√n<span>), where </span>σ<span> is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.
First we <u>find the value of z</u>:
We want a 95% confidence level; 95% = 95/100 = 0.95.
To find the z-score, we first subtract this from 1:
1-0.95 = 0.05.
Divide by 2:
0.05/2 = 0.025.
Subtract from 1 again:
1-0.025 = 0.975.
Using a z-table, we find this value in the middle of the table. The z-score that is associated with this value is 1.96.
Back to our formula for margin of error, we have 1.96(</span>σ<span>/</span>√n<span>). The larger n, the sample size, is, the larger its square root is. When we divide by a larger number, our answer is smaller; this gives us a smaller margin of error.
This means that if we had a small sample size, we would divide by a smaller number, making our margin of error larger. The largest margin of error we have in this question is 18%, so this is our correct answer.</span>
Type 1 rice :
7-ounce package costs = 2.59.
Cost of 1-ounce of Type 1 rice= 2.59/7 = $0.37
Type 2 rice :
12-ounce package costs = $4.56
Cost of 1-ounce Type 2 rice = 4.56/12 = $0.38
Type 3 rice :
18-ounce package costs = $ 6.30
Cost of 1-ounce Type 3 rice = 6.30/18 = $0.35.
From the above calculations, we can see that the cost of 1-ounce Type 3 rice is lowest. Therefore, 18-ounce package is Best Buy.
Answer:
P(2) = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
P(X) = -2X4 + 4X3 - X + 6
Use the remainder theorem to find quotient and remainder and the value of P(2)
First add in any missing exponents: P(x) = -2x4 + 4x3 + 0x2 -x + 6
Write all the coefficients in a line (including the constant) with the number being solved for off to the left:
Bring down the first coefficient (-2), multiply it by the term in question (2), carry the product up under
the 2nd coefficient and then add down (4-4=0), carry up the sum and repeat process across. The last
sum is the answer for P(2)
(2) -2 4 0 -1 6
-4 0 0 -2
__________________
-2 0 0 -1 4
P(2) = 4
check the answer: P(2) = -2(24) + 4(23) -2 + 6 = -2(16) +4(8) + 4 = 4 Our answer is correct
The quotient is what we would bet by dividing the original equation by the polynomial (x-2). The
answer is given by the bottom numbers which will begin an one lower exponent than the original.
Quotient is: -2x3 + 0x2 + 0x -1 = 2x3 - 1
The remainder is: 4/(x-2)
