Jalen lost 12 pounds in the first 3 weeks of his diet. After this point, his weight loss rate slowed by half. If he lost a total

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jalen lost 12 pounds in the first 3 weeks

12/3=4 per week

than the weight loss slowed by half, meaning he lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks

6/3=2 per week

84-12=72 to loose after 3 weeks

72/2=36 weeks

to loose 84 pounds you need 3+36=39 weeks

for 100 lbs

100-12=88

88/2=44

44+12=56 weeks

Factor by using the rational roots test, and find that -2 is a root.

Replace X with -2 and simplify each term.

Divide the polynomial by (x+2)

The final answer becomes x = -2 and x = -1/2 +/-√3/2i

The first choice is the correct one.

Hi, thx for helping​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

C. 8.52624...

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason that C is different is because all of the other decimals are terminating decimals (meaning that they end or stop), while C is a repeating decimal, because it never ends.

Which equation is equivalent to<br><br> f(x) = 16x4 – 81 = 0?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The equivalent expression is:

16x^4-81=(4x^2-9)(4x^2+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation:

f(x)=16x^4-81=0

Equivalent expression can be computed by solving the expression ai its maximum.

We can factorize the given equation:

By using a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

Here, a=4x^2,b=9

Hence, we get the equation below:

16x^4-81=(4x^2-9)(4x^2+9)

Therefore, the equivalent expression is:

16x^4-81=(4x^2-9)(4x^2+9)

A small business owner estimates his mean daily profit as $970 with a standard deviation of $129. His shop is open 102 days a ye
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and we select appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sum of values of <em>X</em>, i.e ∑<em>X</em>, will be approximately normally distributed.  

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \mu_{x}=n\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \sigma_{x}=\sqrt{n}\sigma

The information provided is:

<em>μ</em> = $970

<em>σ</em> = $129

<em>n</em> = 102

Since the sample size is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 102 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of the shopkeeper's annual profit.

Then,

\sum X\sim N(\mu_{x}=98940,\ \sigma_{x}=1302.84)

Compute the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 as follows:

P (\sum X \leq  100,000) =P(\frac{\sum X-\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}

                              =P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (16, 30) and passes through the origin
Veronika [31]

To solve this question, we have to find the equation of the circle with given center and where it passes. Doing this, we get that the equation of the circle is:

(x - 16)^2 + (y - 30)^2 = 1156

Equation of a circle:

The equation of a circle with center (x_0, y_0) and radius r is given by:

(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2

Center at (16, 30)

This means that x_0 = 16, y_0 = 30

Thus

(x - 16)^2 + (y - 30)^2 = r^2

Passes through the origin:

We use this to find the radius squared, as this means that x = 0, y = 0 is part of the circle. Thus

(x - 16)^2 + (y - 30)^2 = r^2

(0 - 16)^2 + (0 - 30)^2 = r^2

r^2 = 16^2 + 30^2 = 1156

Thus, the equation of the circle is:

(x - 16)^2 + (y - 30)^2 = 1156
