Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the fact that the remainder is -7 after we divide by x -1 , then we know that f(1) = -7. But f(1) = 2 + a - 6.

So 2 + a - 6 = -7

a - 4 = -7

a = 4 - 7

a = -3.

Also we know that when divided by x + 3 the remainder is 129. Hence f( -3) = 129

129 = f(-3) = 2 (-3)^ n + (-3)(-3)^2 -6

129 = 2 (-3)^n -27 - 6

129 = 2 (-3)^n -33

129 + 33 = 2(-3)^n

162 = 2 (-3)^n

81 = (-3)^n

Hence n =4 and therefore f(x) = 2x^4 -3x^2 - 6.

In a football tournament, the Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets. The Wasps scored 28 more points
Elina [12.6K]

Given:

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

To find:

The required equation for this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of points scored by the Hornets.

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Bees score = 3x-9

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Wasps score = x+28

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

(3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184

Therefore, the required equation is (3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184.

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 445445 gram setting. Is
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Yes there is sufficient evidence.

Null hypothesis; H_o ; μ = 445

Alternative hypothesis; H_o ; μ ≠ 445

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis states that there is no difference in the test which is denoted by H_o. However, the sign of null hypothesis is denoted by the signs of = or ≥ or ≤.

Meanwhile, the alternative hypothesis is one that defers from the null hypothesis. This therefore implies a significant difference in the test. Thus, the signs of alternative hypothesis is denoted by; < or > or ≠.

Now, the question we have is a two tailed test. Thus;

The null hypothesis is;

bag filling machine works correctly at the 445 gram setting which is;

H_o ; μ = 445

The alternative hypothesis is;

bag filling machine works incorrectly at the 445 gram setting which is;

H_o ; μ ≠ 445

A ball is thrown downward from a cliff. Its position at time t seconds is given by the formula s(t) = 16t2 + 32t, where s is in
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

It takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a position function s(t) where s stands for the number of feet the ball has fallen, so we have to replace s with the given value of 215 ft and solve for the time t.

Setting up the equation.

The motion equation is given by

s(t) =16t^2+32t

We can replace there s = 215 ft to get

215=16t^2+32t

Solving for the time t.

From the previous equation we can move all terms in one side to get

16t^2+32t-215=0

At this point we can solve for t using quadratic formula.

t = \cfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

where a, b and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation

at^2+bt+c=0

So we get

a=16\\b=32\\c=-215

Replacing on the quadratic formula we get

t = \cfrac{-32\pm \sqrt{32^2-4(16)(-215)}}{2(16)}

Using a calculator we get

t=-4.8 , t = 2.8

Physically speaking the only result that makes sense is to move forward in time that give us t = 2.8 seconds.

We can conclude that it takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.
