Answer:

9 ≤ x ≤ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – 3 ≤ 11 or –8x – 10 ≤ – 82

We shall determine the value of x in both case.

2x – 3 ≤ 11

Collect like terms

2x ≤ 11 + 3

2x ≤ 14

Divide both side by 2

x ≤ 14/2

x ≤ 7

–8x – 10 ≤ – 82

Collect like terms

–8x ≤ – 82 + 10

–8x ≤ – 72

Divide both side by –8

x ≤ – 72 / –8

x ≥ 9 (since we divided by a negative sign)

9 ≤ x

Combining both answers

x ≤ 7

9 ≤ x

Thus,

9 ≤ x ≤ 7

Solution:

$\sqrt{4x + 13} = x + 2$

First square both sides.

$= > ( \sqrt{4x + 13} ) ^{2} = (x + 2) ^{2}$

Now, square root and square gets cancel out in the LHS. And in the RHS, apply the identity: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².

$= > 4x + 13 = {(x)}^{2} + 2 \times x \times 2 + (2) ^{2} \\ = > 4x + 13 = {x}^{2} + 4x + 4$

Now, transpose 4x and 4 to LHS.

$= > 4x - 4x + 13 - 4 = {x}^{2} \\$

Now, do the addition and subtraction.

$= > {x}^{2} = 9 \\ = > x = \sqrt{9} \\ = > x = ±3$

Answer:

x = ± 3

Please help will mark brainliest answer whatever you can

Drupady [299]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not allowed to answer more than 3 questions. So I will do the first 3.

15a. i) (2/3) = 4/9

ii) (2/3) = 8/27

iii) (2/3) = 16/81

b. The product is small because you are finding the fraction of a fraction.

16. Compared to the factors, the product is less than each fraction. This is because, as stated above, you are trying to find a fraction (a part of the whole) of another fraction. When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, the whole number decreases. The same applies to a fraction.

17a. 0.4 × 0.3 = 0.12

b. 0.4 = 4/10 = 2/5

0.3 = 3/10

3/10 × 2/5 = 6/50

An investment of $900 earns 6% annual interest and is compounded semi-annually. Write an equation

nalin [4]

Answer:

$A=900(1+\frac{0.06}{2})^{2(t)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$

P = initial balance

r = interest rate (decimal)

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

First, change 6% into a decimal:

6% -> $\frac{6}{100}$ -> 0.06

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually, we will use 2 for n. Lets plug in the values now and your equation will be:

$A=900(1+\frac{0.06}{2})^{2(t)}$

There are 4 jacks and 13 clubs in a standard, 52-card deck of playing cards. What is the probability that a card picked at rando

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

16/52, or 4/13.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since we know that the question is asking for the probability of a club or a jack, we know that we have to add the two probabilities. The first probability is that of picking a club, which is 13/52. The probability of picking a jack (be sure not to overlap; don't double count the jack of clubs) is 3/52. Adding these two gives us 13/52+3/52=16/52, which simplifies to 4/13.

10. The continuously compounded annual return on a stock is normally distributed with a mean of 20% and standard deviation of 30

ehidna [41]

Answer: We should expect its actual return in any particular year to be between -40% and 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The continuously compounded annual return on a stock is normally distributed with a mean 20% and standard deviation of 30%.

From normal z-table, the z-value corresponds to 95.44 confidence is 2.

Therefore , the interval limits for 95.44 confidence level will be :

Lower limit = Mean -2(Standard deviation) = 20% -2(30%)= 20%-60%=-40%

Upper limit = Mean +2(Standard deviation)=20% +2(30%)= 20%+60%=80%

Hence, we should expect its actual return in any particular year to be between -40% and 80%.
