Factor the expression completely.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Factoring the expression $xy^4+x^4y^4$ completely we get $\mathbf{xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the expression $xy^4+x^4y^4$ completely

We need to find common terms in the expression.

Looking at the expression, we get $xy^4$ is common in both terms, so we can write:

$xy^4+x^4y^4\\=xy^4(1+x^3)$

So, taking out the common expression we get: $xy^4(1+x^3)$

Now, we can factor the term (1+x^3) or we can write (x^3+1) by using formula:

$a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$

So, we get:

$xy^4(1+x^3)\\=xy^4(x^3+1)\\Applying\:the\:formula\;of\:a^3+b^3\\=xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)$

Therefor factoring the expression $xy^4+x^4y^4$ completely we get $\mathbf{xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)}$

Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?

Tomtit [17]

As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)

Answer:

32%

The probability according to these results is 32% because 25 people ordered a cold drink. 8 of those were smalls. 8 divided by 25 is 0.32 which is the percentage of a 100% chance aka 32%

A lawyer has found 60 investors for a limited partnership to purchase an inner-city apartment building, with each contributing e

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

1. The lawyer has 34 investors that contribute with $3,000 and has 26 investors that contribute with $6,000.

2. The jar has 26 nickels and 44 dimes that worth $5.70.

3. The concession stand has sold 1600 sodas and 1400 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation:

For all the problems we are going to follow the same process that will consist on 1. Define the variables. 2. Formulate the system of two linear equations 3. Solve by the elimination method 4. Give the answer.

First problem.

- Variables:

x = number of investors that contribute with $3,000

y = number of investors that contribute with $6,000

- System of equations.

First equation will be the result of adding the number of investors that will give us a total of 60 investors then:

x + y = 60

Second equation is the result of multypling the number of investors by its invest and adding between them to get the $258,000 they have raised:

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

The system will be:

x + y = 60

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

- Solve by the elimination method.

To cancel x we are going to multiply by -3000 in both sides of the first equation and we will leave the second equation the same but in the first row to make easier the calculations then:

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

(x + y ) (-3,000) = 60 (-3,000) <em> solve the multiplications </em>

3,000x + 6,000y = 258,000

<u>-3,000x - 3,000y = -180,000 </u><em> solve the operations</em>

0 + 3,000y = 78,000 <em>clear y</em>

$y = \frac{78,000}{3,000}$ <em>solve the division</em>

y = 26

For calculate x, replace the y value in the first equation and solve it

x + 26 = 60

x = 60 - 26

x = 34

- Answer

The lawyer has 34 investors that contribute with $3,000 and has 26 investors that contribute with $6,000.

Second problem

- Variables:

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

- System of equations.

First equation will be the result of adding the number of nickels and dimes that will give us a total of 70 coins in the jar then:

x + y = 70

Second equation is the result of multypling the number of coins by its value and adding between them to get the $5.70 that the jar worth:

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

The system will be:

x + y = 70

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

- Solve by the elimination method.

To cancel x we are going to multiply by -0.05 in both sides of the first equation and we will leave the second equation the same but in the first row to make easier the calculations then:

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

(x + y ) (-0.05) = 70 (-0.05) <em> solve the multiplications </em>

0.05x + 0.1 y = 5.70

<u>-0.05x - 0.05y = -3.50 </u><em> solve the operations</em>

0 + 0.05y = 2.20 <em>clear y</em>

$y = \frac{2.20}{0.05}$ <em>solve the division</em>

y = 44

For calculate x, replace the y value in the first equation and solve it

x + 44 = 70

x = 70 - 44

x = 26

- Answer

The jar has 26 nickels and 44 dimes that worth $5.70.

Third problem.

- Variables:

x = number of sodas sold by $2

y = number of hotdogs sold by $3

- System of equations.

First equation will be the result of adding the number of sodas and hotdogs that is of 3000 then:

x + y = 3000

Second equation is the result of multypling the number of sodas and hotdogs by its price and adding between them to get the $7400 of the receipts:

2x + 3y = 7400

The system will be:

x + y = 3000

2x + 3y = 7400

- Solve by the elimination method.

To cancel x we are going to multiply by -2 in both sides of the first equation and we will leave the second equation the same but in the first row to make easier the calculations then:

2x + 3y = 7400

(x + y ) (-2) = 3000 (-2) <em> solve the multiplications </em>

2x + 3y = 7400

<u>-2x - 2y = -6000 </u><em> solve the operations</em>

0 + 1y = 1400 <em>clear y</em>

$y = \frac{1400}{1}$ <em>solve the division</em>

y = 1400

For calculate x, replace the y value in the first equation and solve it

x + 1400 = 3000

x = 3000 - 1400

x = 1600

- Answer

The concession stand has sold 1600 sodas and 1400 hotdogs

The Wall Street Journal reported that Walmart Stores Inc. is planning to lay off 2300 employees at its Sam's Club warehouse unit

Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) The mean is 52 and the median is 55.

(b) The first quartile is 44 and the third quartile is 60.

(c) The value of range is 33 and the inter-quartile range is 16.

(d) The variance is 100.143 and the standard deviation is 10.01.

(e) There are no outliers in the data set.

(f) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is:

S = {55, 56, 44, 43, 44, 56, 60, 62, 57, 45, 36, 38, 50, 69, 65}

(a)

Compute the mean of the data as follows:

$\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum x\\=\frac{1}{15}[55+ 56+ 44+ 43+ 44+ 56+ 60+ 62+ 57+ 45 +36 +38 +50 +69+ 65]\\=\frac{780}{15}\\=52$

Thus, the mean is 52.

The median for odd set of values is the computed using the formula:

$Median=(\frac{n+1}{2})^{th}\ obs.$

Arrange the data set in ascending order as follows:

36, 38, 43, 44, 44, 45, 50, 55, 56, 56, 57, 60, 62, 65, 69

There are 15 values in the set.

Compute the median value as follows:

$Median=(\frac{15+1}{2})^{th}\ obs.=(\frac{16}{2})^{th}\ obs.=8^{th}\ observation$

The 8th observation is, 55.

Thus, the median is 55.

(b)

The first quartile is the middle value of the upper-half of the data set.

The upper-half of the data set is:

36, 38, 43, 44, 44, 45, 50

The middle value of the data set is 44.

Thus, the first quartile is 44.

The third quartile is the middle value of the lower-half of the data set.

The upper-half of the data set is:

56, 56, 57, 60, 62, 65, 69

The middle value of the data set is 60.

Thus, the third quartile is 60.

(c)

The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and minimum value.

Maximum = 69

Minimum = 36

Compute the value of Range as follows:

$Range =Maximum-Minimum\\=69-36\\=33$

Thus, the value of range is 33.

The inter-quartile range is the difference between the first and third quartile value.

Compute the value of IQR as follows:

$IQR=Q_{3}-Q_{1}\\=60-44\\=16$

Thus, the inter-quartile range is 16.

(d)

Compute the variance of the data set as follows:

$s^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x_{i}-\bar x)^{2}\\=\frac{1}{15-1}[(55-52)^{2}+(56-52)^{2}+...+(65-52)^{2}]\\=100.143$

Thus, the variance is 100.143.

Compute the value of standard deviation as follows:

$s=\sqrt{s^{2}}=\sqrt{100.143}=10.01$

Thus, the standard deviation is 10.01.

(e)

An outlier is a data value that is different from the remaining values.

An outlier is a value that lies below 1.5 IQR of the first quartile or above 1.5 IQR of the third quartile.

Compute the value of Q₁ - 1.5 IQR as follows:

$Q_{1}-1.5QR=44-1.5\times 16=20$

Compute the value of Q₃ + 1.5 IQR as follows:

$Q_{3}+1.5QR=60-1.5\times 16=80$

The minimum value is 36 and the maximum is 69.

None of the values is less than 20 or more than 80.

Thus, there are no outliers in the data set.

(f)

Yes, the data provided indicates that the Walmart is meeting its goal for reducing the number of hourly employees
