Essentially, we are trying to find the missing constant term of (remember that we are subtracting due to the negative sign in front of the second term). Let's expand this to see what we can work with:
Now, we know the second term is , so let's set the second term in the polynomial we just found equal to :
- Divide both sides of the equation by
- Divide both sides of the equation by 2
We have found . We know the missing constant term is , according to the polynomial we found earlier. Thus, the missing term is:
The missing constant term is 36.
12 x 12 = 144
144 / 58 = 2.66
It is C. 498.83 units cubed.

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The owners of Spiffy Lube want to offer their customers a 10-minute guarantee on their standard oil change service. If the oil change takes longer than 10 minutes to complete, the customers is given a coupon for a free oil change at the next visit. Based on past history, the owners believe that the timer required to complete an oil change has a normal distribution with a mean of 8.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes.
Suppose management could improve the process by reducing the mean time required for an oil change (but keeping the standard deviation the same). How much change in the mean service time would be required to allow for a 10-minute guarantee that gives a coupon to no more than 1 out of every 25 customers on average
Answer:
Required change in the mean service time is 7.8988
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
How much change in the mean service time would be required to allow for a 10-minute guarantee that gives a coupon to no more than 1 out of every 25 customers on average
let mean = μ
p( x > 10 ) ≤ (1/25)
p( x > 10 ) ≤ 0.4
p( x-μ / 1.2 > 10-μ / 1.2 ) ≤ 0.4
(10-μ / 1.2 ) ≤ 0.4
(10-μ / 1.2 ) ≥ ( 0.96 )
(10-μ / 1.2 ≥ 1.751
10-μ = ≥ 1.751 × 1.2
10-μ ≤ 2.1012
μ ≤ 10 - 2.1012
μ ≤ 7.8988
Therefore, required change in the mean service time is 7.8988
X+ 9 = 32
x = 32-9
so,
option c is correct.
x + 9 = 32
9 = 32 - x
so, option d is also correct.
