Answer:
a) The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is P=0.16.
b) The mean number of gallons is M=80 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of selling x, in hundred of gallons, on any day during the summer is y(x)=0.32x, in a range for x from [0;2.5].
The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is then:
The mean number of gallons can be calculated as:
its A. because the exponent which in this case is 3, is multiplied 3 times. so 9 is multiplied 9 times
Hello! I can help you with this!
a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.
b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.
Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attachment for the polynomial long division. The constant in the quotient is -1.
_____
Here, there is a remainder of -x. If there were no remainder the constant in the quotient is the ratio of the constant in the dividend to the constant in the divisor: -2/2 = -1.
That could be a first guess in a "guess and check" solution approach.
<em>Guess</em>: first term of binomial quotient is (2x^3)/x^2 = 2x; last term of binomial quotient is -2/2 = -1. So, the quotient is guessed to be (2x -1).
<em>Check</em>: (2x -1)(x^2 -x +2) = 2x^3 -3x^2 +5x -2
Subtracting this from the actual dividend gives a remainder of -x. This has a lower degree than the divisor, so no further adjustment of the quotient is required.
