Question 8 Calculate the difference (4x2 + x - 5) – (5x2 - 1).

Answer:

x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x2 + x - 5) - (5x2 - 1)

According to the order of operations, parenthesis come first so we will solve what is in the parenthesis first.

Then we do the multiplication because it comes before addition and subtraction.

4x2 = 8

Now we have 8 + x - 5

Combine like terms and 8-5=3 so we have 3 + x

Now for the second one.

5x2=10

10-1=9

Subtracting this from the first expression we have:

3+x-9 =

x - 6

For numbers 14a-14d , tell which expressions require you to rename mixed numbers before you can subtract. Find each difference.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

14b and 14d require renaming mixed numbers; 14a) 3 3/20; 14b) 2 1/8; 14c) 1 13/24; 14d) 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

14a) First we find the least common denominator (LCD). The first thing that both 5 and 4 will divide into is 20; this is our LCD.

It takes 4 5's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 4, we have 5 8/20. It takes 5 4's to make 20; multiplying the numerator by 5, we have 2 5/20. Subtracting these,

5 8/20 - 2 5/20 = 3 3/20

14b) We must write the whole number 5 as a mixed number with a denominator of 8; 5 = 4 8/8. This gives us

4 8/8 - 2 7/8 = 2 1/8

14c) The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24. It takes 8 3's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 8, we have 7 16/24. It takes 3 8's to make 24; multiplying the numerator by 3, we have 6 3/24. Subtracting we have

7 16/24 - 6 3/24 = 1 13/24.

14d) The LCD of 6 and 3 is 6. Since the first mixed number has a denominator of 6, we leave it: 9 1/6. It takes 2 3's to make 6; multiplying the numerator by 2, we have 5 4/6. Subtracting we would have

9 1/6 - 5 4/6

We are subtracting a larger fraction from a smaller one. This means we borrow a whole from the whole number, making it 8; this makes the fraction (6+1)/6 = 7/6. This gives us

8 7/6 - 5 4/6 = 3 3/6 = 3 1/2

A ferry will safely accommodate 82 tons of passenger cars. Assume that the meanweight of a passenger car is 2 tons with standard

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is <u>0.0455 or 4.55%</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maximum safe-weight of 37 cars = 82 tons

∴ Maximum safe-weight of 1 car (x) = 82 ÷ 37 = 2.22 tons (Unitary method)

Mean weight of 1 car (μ) = 2 tons

Standard deviation of 37 cars = 0.8 tons

So, standard deviation of 1 car is given as:

$\sigma=\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{37}}=0.13$

Probability that maximum safe-weight is exceeded, P(x > 2.22) = ?

The sample is normally distributed (Assume)

Now, let us determine the z-score of the mean weight.

The z-score is given as:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{2.22-2}{0.13}\\\\z=\frac{0.22}{0.13}=1.69$

Now, finding P(x > 2.22) is same as finding P(z > 1.69).

From the z-score table of normal distribution curve, the value of area under the curve for z < 1.69 is 0.9545.

But we need the area under the curve for z > 1.69.

So, we subtract from the total area. Total area is 1 or 100%.

So, $P(z > 1.69) = 1 - P(z < 1.69)$

$P(z>1.69)=1-0.9545=0.0455\ or\ 4.55\%$

Therefore, the probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is 0.0455 or 4.55%.
