Write the grammatical sentence as an algebraic one: Nine less than half a number is twenty-four.

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

x/2-9=24

Explanation:

Nine less:
-9
Half a number:
x/2
So nine less than half a number:
x/2-9
Is 24:
=24

So x/2-9=24

To solve for the number:
Add 9 to both sides:
x/2-9+9=24+9
x/2=33
Multiply both sides by 2:
2(x/2)=33(2)
x=66

"The function is decreasing":

This means the slope of the function will be negative at the given point. Anywhere the line is going down, from left to right, is decreasing. This eliminates choices A and C.

"The function is concave down":

This means the curve of the function will be open down (think of an upside down u). This eliminates choice E.

"f(x)>0":

This is anywhere the curve is above the x axis. This eliminates choice D.

The answer is Choice B) x=2.

Hope this helps!!

Let x be the width of the rectangle
Therefore length=3+x
Thus the formula to find the perimeter of the rectangle is:2(3+x+x)

Find the image (0,0) after two reflections first across y=3 and then across x-axis

Alina [70]

Refrection of point (0, 0) across y = 3 gives point (0, 6)
Refrection of point (0, -6) across the x-axis gives point (0, -6)

Suppose that a brand of lightbulb lasts on average 1730 hours with a standard deviation of 257 hours. Assume the life of the lig

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 54,88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

Mean μ₀ = 1730

Standard Deviation σ = 257

We need to calculate z scores for the values 1689 and 2267

We apply formula for z scores

z = ( X - μ₀ ) /σ

X = 1689 then

z = (1689 - 1730)/ 257 ⇒ z = - 41 / 257

z = - 0.1595

And from z table we get for z = - 0,1595

We have to interpolate

- 0,15 0,4364

- 0,16 0,4325

Δ = 0.01 0.0039

0,1595 - 0,15 = 0.0095

By rule of three

0,01 0,0039

0,0095 x ?? x = 0.0037

And 0,4364 - 0.0037 = 0,4327

Then P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 0.4327 or P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 43,27 %

And for the upper limit 2267 z score will be

z = ( X - 1730 ) / 257 ⇒ z = 537 / 257

z = 2.0894

Now from z table we find for score 2.0894

We interpolate and assume 0.9815

P [ X ≤ 2267 ] = 0,9815

Ths vale already contains th value of P [ X ≤ 1689 ] = 0.4327

Then we subtract to get 0,9815 - 0,4327 = 0,5488

Finally

P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 0,5488 or P [ 1689 ≤ X ≤ 2267 ] = 54,88 %
