6x² - x - 15

Rewrite the expression by writing -x as a difference:

6x² + 9x - 10x - 15

Factor out 3x from the expression:

3x * (2x + 3) - 10x - 15

Factor out -5 from the expression:

3x * (2x + 3) - 5 * (2x + 3)

Factor out the expression:

(2x + 3) * (3x - 5)

Therefore the answer to your question would be:

D) 3x - 5

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (2, 7) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=x/4+5 ?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

y = -4x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x/4+5 may be presented as y = 1/4 x + 5, where a=1/4, b=5

swapping numerator and denominator and inserting an opposite sign in a=1/4, we have:

1/4 --------> 4/1 -------> -4/1 = -4

y = -4x+n

Point (2,7) means that x=2, y=7 substitute it to the equation y=-4x+n, calculate "n":

7=-4*2+n ------> 7=-8+n -------> 7+8 = n -------> 15=n

substituting n=15 to the equation y=-4x+n, we get finally y=-4x+15

The auto parts department of an automotive dealership sends out a mean of 4.34.3 special orders daily. What is the probability t

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Mean = 4.3$

$x = 5$

Required

Determine the probability that the order is 5

This question can be answered using Poisson distribution.

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

Where

$\alpha$ is used to represent the mean

and

$\alpha = 4.3$

$x = 5$

$e = 2.71828$ ---- Euler's constant

So, we have:

$P(X = x) = \frac{\alpha ^x e^{-\alpha}}{x!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5!}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{5* 4 * 3 * 2 *1}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{4.3^5 * 2.71828^{-4.3}}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{1470.08443 * 0.01356859825}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{19.9469850243}{120}$

$P(X = 5) = 0.1662248752$

$P(X = 5) = 0.166$ Approximated

The formula for computing compound interest for a principal P that is invested at an annual rate r and compounded annually is gi

maria [59]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

r ≈ 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for r when n=2, we have ...

$A=P(1+r)^2\\\\\dfrac{A}{P}=(1+r)^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}=1+r\\\\\boxed{r=\sqrt{\dfrac{A}{P}}-1}$

For the given values of A and P, the value of r is ...

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{5600}{5000}}-1=\sqrt{1.12}-1\approx 1.0583-1\\\\\boxed{r\approx 6\%}$

Which correlation coefficient represents a moderate negative correlation? r = –0.04 r = –0.24 r = –0.64 r = –0.94

fomenos

The correlation coefficient is a number that indicates the direction

and closeness of points of a line of best of fit.

So it tells us two things.

It tells us the direction of the line of best fit

and it tells us the closeness of the points.

Usually, anything between -0.9 and -0.6 has a moderate negative correlation. If you look at this on a graph, you will notice that the points definitely resemble a line so we say it's moderate.

It will be a negative correlation because the slope is negative.
