Answer:

8x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

"Like terms" means the same kind of algebraic expression...the 6x and the 2x are "like terms" because they both have an x in them. The 9 and the 4 are both constants, which means they are plain numbers. So 6x and 2x is 8x .

9+4 is 13 just like elementary school.

So all together,

6x + 9 + 2x + 4

6x + 2x + 9 + 4

8x + 13

We can rearrange the terms because the problem has all addition in between the terms.

The weekly amount spent by a small company for in-state travel has approximately a normal distribution with mean $1450 and stand

Llana [10]

Answer:

0.0903

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The mean = 1450

The standard deviation = 220

sample mean = 1560

$P(X > 1560) = P( Z > \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma})$

$P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{1560 - 1450}{220})$

$P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{110}{220})$

P(X> 1560) = P(Z > 0.5)

P(X> 1560) = 1 - P(Z < 0.5)

From the z tables;

P(X> 1560) = 1 - 0.6915

P(X> 1560) = 0.3085

Let consider the given number of weeks = 52

Mean $\mu_x$ = np = 52 × 0.3085 = 16.042

The standard deviation = $\sqrt {n \time p (1-p)}$

The standard deviation = $\sqrt {52 \times 0.3085 (1-0.3085)}$

The standard deviation = 3.3306

Let Y be a random variable that proceeds in a binomial distribution, which denotes the number of weeks in a year that exceeds $1560.

Then;

Pr ( Y > 20) = P( z > 20)

$Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z > \dfrac{20.5 - 16.042}{3.3306})$

$Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z >1 .338)$

From z tables

P(Y > 20) $\simeq$ 0.0903

If f(x) = 4 – x2 and g(x) = 6x, which expression is equivalent to (g – f)(3)?

Llana [10]

F(x) = -x² + 4
g(x) = 6x

(g - f)(3) = 6(3) - (-(3)² + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-9 + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-5)
(g - f)(3) = 18 + 5
(g - f)(3) = 23
