Treat this as you would the quadratic equation x^2 - 4x - 3 + 0. Solve this by completing the square:
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 - 7 = 0
(x^2 - 4x + 4) = 11
(x-2)^2 = 11, and so x-2 = plus or minus sqrt(11).
Graph this, using a dashed curve (not a solid curve). Then shade the coordinate plane ABOVE the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:
a company decided to increase the size of the box for the packaging of their alcohol products. the length of the original packaging box was 40 cm longer than its width and the height 12 cm, volume was at most 4800 cm3. Suppose the length of the new packaging box is still 40cm longer than its width and the height is 12cm, what mathematical statement would represent the volume of the new packaging box?
Solution:
Let the width of the box be x cm.
The length of the box is 40 cm longer than the width, therefore the length of the box = x + 40
The height of the box = 12 cm
The volume of the box can be gotten from the formula:
Volume = length × width × height
Substituting:
Volume = (x + 40) × (x) × 12
Volume = 12x(x + 40)
Therefore the volume of the new box is 12x(x + 40)
Answer:
1.) Yes
2.) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
n = k(k + 7)
If k is a positive integer and n = k(k + 7), is n divisible by 6 ?
(1) k is odd. Yes.
Let assume that k = 3
Then, n = 3(3 + 7)
n = 3 × 10
n = 30.
30 is divisible by 6.
(2) When k is divided by 3, the remainder is 2. That is,
Let k = 5
Then,
5/3 = 1 remainder 2
Substitute k into the equation
n = k(k + 7)
n = 5(5 + 7)
n = 5 × 12
n = 60
And 60 is divisible by 6.
Therefore, the answer to both questions is Yes.
Answer:
<em>99.93%</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability of Independent Events</u>
Given the probability of success of each detector is 0.84 independently of the others, their combined success/failure probability can be computed with the product rule.
We can calculate the required probability by using the binomial distribution, but it's easier to calculate the probability of the negated event an subtract from 1.
We want to know the probability that a least one of the 4 systems detects the occurrence of theft. That probability is the sum of the probabilities that one of them, two of them, three of them or all of them succeed. The negated event is that NONE of them actually detects the theft. Being p the individual probability of success, p=0.84. Being q the probability of failure, q=0.16.
The probability that none of the systems detect the theft is
Thus, the probability that at least one of the systems detect the theft is
That means a 99.93%
These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).
To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18
To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.
f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18
Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.
f(x/3) = 2x -18
Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3
This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing
f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3
We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.
f(x)/3 = 2x - 6
Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.
Hope this helps!
