Answer:

Answer C can not be used to find the new size of the gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use process of elimination!

A is stating 1.20x, or 120% of x. This is correct, because we have x and then were increasing by 20%, which is just 120%. A is however not the answer because we are asking which expression below could not be used, and A could be used. B is also incorrect because of what I just stated, x + 0.20x is the same thing as 1.20x. C is 20% of x, but that won't get us the answer. C is the correct answer since it cannot be used to find the new size of the gym, but if you really want to you can check answer D as well. In answer D you can distribute the x to the 1 and the 0.20, and you get x + 0.20x, which is the same as answer B. Therefore C is the correct answer.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

0.20x only tells you 20% of the original gym size, not the increased size of the gym.

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply.
pantera1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the function that have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant i.e. b^2-4ac.

We know that,

If D>0  the roots are real and unequal

If D= 0 roots are real and equal

If D< 0 roots are imaginary or not real and unequal

Function (1)

f(x)=x^2 + 6x + 8\\\\D=6^2-4\times 1\times 8\\\\D=4

D>0  the roots are real and unequal

Function (2)

g(x)=x^2 + 4x + 8\\\\D=4^2-4\times 1\times 8\\\\D=-16

D<0  the roots are real and unequal

Function (3)

h(x)=x^2 -12x+32\\\\D=(-12)^2-4\times 1\times 32\\\\D=16

D>0  the roots are real and unequal

Function (4)

k(x)=x^2 +4x-1\\\\D=(4)^2-4\times 1\times (-1)\\\\D=20

D>0  the roots are real and unequal

Function (5)

p(x)=5x^2 +5x+4\\\\D=(5)^2-4\times 5\times 4\\\\D=-55

D<0  the roots are real and unequal

Function (6)

t(x)=x^2 -2x-15\\\\D=(-2)^2-4\times 1\times (-15)\\\\D=64

D>0  the roots are real and unequal

(1),(3),(4) and (6) have two real number zeroes.

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females. 18 resumes will be received tomorrow.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resume received by the corporation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are from a female, or they are not. The probability of a resume received being from a female is independent from other resumes. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females.

This means that p = 0.22

18 resumes will be received tomorrow.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{17} = 0.0580

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.
