Answer:

So the correct option is X squared -3 X +40

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial has roots x=8 and x=-5, then we know that the factorized form is:

(x-8)(x+5)

So, to find the polynomial we need to expand the polynomials:

(x-8)(x+5) = (x^2 +5x - 8x + 40) = x^2 -3x + 40

Hey guys, I'm relearning some Algebra and was confused about this problem. In the equation, the problem was divided by 3. This m

spayn [35]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:

-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0

into

(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0

6x² + 5x - 1 = 0

And that gives the "swapped signs".

Of the coffee makers sold in an appliance store, 4.0% have either a faulty switch or a defective cord, 2.5% have a faulty swi

lukranit [14]

Answer: Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.

Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.

Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04

P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001

P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025

We need to find P(B):

As we know that

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.025-0.001\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.024\\\\P(A)=0.04-0.024=0.376$

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.
