Answer:

x = - 5, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3 , since

5 × - 3 = - 15 and 5 - 3 = + 2, so

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

Components of a certain type are shipped to a supplier in batches of ten. Suppose that 50% of all such batches contain no defect
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a) P (0 defective component) = 0.5

   P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

    P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

b) P( 0 ) = 0

   p ( 1 ) =  1

   p ( 2 ) = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

p( no defective ) = 0.5

p( 1 is defective ) = 0.35

p( 2 is defective ) = 0.15

Given that 2 components are selected at random

<u>a) Given that neither component is defective </u>

Probability of 0 defective component = 0.5

P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

<u>b) Given that one of the two tested component is defective </u>

P( 0 defective ) = 0

P( 1 defective ) = P ( \frac{x=1}{x\geq 1} ) = p( x = 1 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                                        = ( 0.5 )^1 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^1

                                        = 0.5 * 1 / 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 / 0.5 =  1

p ( 2 defective ) = p( x = 3 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                         = ( 0.5 )^2 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^2

                         = 0.25 / 0.75 = 0.33

The perimeter of a pool is 96 feet. If the length of the pool is 3 times its width, what is the width of the pool? Labeling the
k0ka [10]

Answer:

12 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of the pool be Length×width

There will be 2lengths and 2widths as well so the perimeter of the pool will be the addition of all the sides of the pool i.e 2L + 2W = 96... (1)

And since the length of the pool is 3 times its width, we have

L = 3W... (2)

Substituting equation 2 into 1 to get the width 'W'

2(3W) + 2W = 96

6W + 2W = 96

8W = 96

W = 96/8

W = 12feets

The width of the pool is 12feets

A) The signs of the first derivative (g') tell you the graph increases as you go left from x=4 and as you go right from x=-2. Since g(4) < g(-2), one absolute extreme is (4, g(4)) = (4, 1).

The sign of the first derivative changes at x=0, at which point the slope is undefined (the curve is vertical). The curve approaches +∞ at x=0 both from the left and from the right, so the other absolute extreme is (0, +∞).

b) The second derivative (g'') changes sign at x=2, so there is a point of inflection there.

c) There is a vertical asymptote at x=0 and a flat spot at x=2. The curve goes through the points (-2, 5) and (4, 1), is increasing to the left of x=0 and non-increasing to the right of x=0. The curve is concave upward on [-2, 0) and (0, 2) and concave downward on (2, 4]. A possible graph is shown, along with the first and second derivatives.
