Factor this <br> X^2+10+9=0
Art [367]
To factor this quadratic equation into double brackets, you need to find two numbers that add together to equal 10, but also multiply to give you 9. These two numbers can be identified as 1 and 9, which will be the numbers you place in your parentheses as follows:
(x+1)(x+9)

A store selling newspapers orders only n = 4 of a certain newspaper because the manager does not get many calls for that publica
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) The expected value is 2.680642

b) The minimun number of newspapers the manager should order is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Lets call X the demanded amount of newspapers demanded, and Y the amount of newspapers sold. Note that 4 newspapers are sold when at least four newspaper are demanded, but it can be <em>more</em> than that.

X is a random variable of Poisson distribution with mean \mu = 3 , and Y is a random variable with range {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, with the following values

  • PY(k) = PX(k) = ε^(-3)*(3^k)/k! for k in {0,1,2,3}
  • PY(4) = 1 -PX(0) - PX(1) - PX(2) - PX (3)

we obtain:

PY(0) = ε^(-3) = 0.04978..

PY(1) = ε^(-3)*3^1/1! = 3*ε^(-3) = 0.14936

PY(2) = ε^(-3)*3^2/2! = 4.5*ε^(-3) = 0.22404

PY(3) = ε^(-3)*3^3/3! = 4.5*ε^(-3) = 0.22404

PY(4) = 1- (ε^(-3)*(1+3+4.5+4.5)) = 0.352768

E(Y) = 0*PY(0)+1*PY(1)+2*PY(2)+3*PY(3)+4*PY(4) =  0.14936 + 2*0.22404 + 3*0.22404+4*0.352768 = 2.680642

The store is <em>expected</em> to sell 2.680642 newspapers

b) The minimun number can be obtained by applying the cummulative distribution function of X until it reaches a value higher than 0.95. If we order that many newspapers, the probability to have a number of requests not higher than that value is more 0.95, therefore the probability to have more than that amount will be less than 0.05

we know that FX(3) = PX(0)+PX(1)+PX(2)+PX(3) = 0.04978+0.14936+0.22404+0.22404 = 0.647231

FX(4) = FX(3) + PX(4) = 0.647231+ε^(-3)*3^4/4! = 0.815262

FX(5) = 0.815262+ε^(-3)*3^5/5! = 0.91608

FX(6) = 0.91608+ε^(-3)*3^6/6! = 0.966489

So, if we ask for 6 newspapers, the probability of receiving at least 6 calls is 0.966489, and the probability to receive more calls than available newspapers will be less than 0.05.

I hope this helped you!

Write the first five terms of the sequence defined by the explicit formula
denis-greek [22]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is: 19, 13, 3, -11, -29.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence:

a_n=21-2n^2

So to find the first five terms of this sequence, we will substitute the values of n (num here in the given formula:

a_1=21-2(1)^2\\\\a_1=19


a_2=21-2(2)^2\\\\a_2=13


a_3=21-2(3)^2\\\\a_3=3


a_4=21-2(4)^2\\\\a_4=-11


a_5=21-2(5)^2\\\\a_5=-29

Therefore, the first five terms of the sequence defined by the explicit formula a_n=21-2n^2 are 19, 13, 3, -11, -29.
