Set all the factors equal to 0 and solve for x.

1) x + 6 = 0

x = -6

2) x + 8 = 0

x = -8

3) x + 15 = 0

x = -15

When the function is graphed, you can see that the function crosses the numbers -15, -8, and -6 on the x-axis. These are the zeros.

How to do two step inequalities

Rudik [331]

If I were you, I would search it up on VirtualNerd but you first undo using the opposite of PEDMAS and if you divide or multiply with a negative integer, the direction of the inequality thing in the middle of the equation switches directions.

When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 56 b

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

98.1% chance of being accepted

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

sample size,n=56

acceptance condition= at most 2 batteries do not meet specifications

shipment size=7000

battery percentage in shipment that do not meet specification= 1%

Applying binomial distribution

In this formula, a is the acceptable number of defectives;

n is the sample size;

p is the fraction of defectives in the population.

Now putting the value

a= 2

n=56

p=0.01

$\frac{56!}{0!\left(56-0\right)!}\left(0.01\right)^0\:\left(1-0.01\right)^{\left(56-0\right)} + \frac{56!}{1!\left(56-1\right)!}\left(0.01\right)^1\:\left(1-0.01\right)^{\left(56-1\right)} +$ $\:\frac{56!}{2!\left(56-2\right)!}\left(0.01\right)^2\:\left(1-0.01\right)^{\left(56-2\right)}$

=0.56960+0.32219+0.08949

After summation, we get 0.981 i.e. a 98.1% chance of being accepted. As this is such a high chance, we can expect many of the shipments like this to be accepted!
