Solve x2 + 6x − 8 = 0 by completing the square. (1 point)

(x + 3)2 = 17; x equals negative 3 plus or minus the square root of 17
(x + 3)2 = 17; x = 14, x = 20
(x + 6)2 = 8; x equals negative 6 plus or minus 2 times the square root of 2
(x + 6)2 = 8; x = −14, x = 2

The correct solution is,

D. Mean = 50.4,

Variance = 27.2,

Standard deviation = 5.2.

Now, Formula for the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the given values,

Mean (μ) = (Σx) / n

Variance (σ) = (Σ(x-μ)) / n

Standard deviation (σ) = sqrt(σ)

where: Σx = sum of the values

Σ(x-μ)² = sum of the squared differences between each value and the mean

n = number of values

Substituting the given values into these formulas, we get:

Mean (μ) = (50 + 46 + 53 + 51 + 52) / 5

Mean (μ) ≈ 50.4

Variance (σ) = [(14 - 50.4)² + (50 - 50.4)² + (-0.4 - 50.4)² + ... + (2.6 - 50.4)] / 13

Variance (σ) ≈ 27.2

Standard deviation (σ) = √(27.2)

Standard deviation (σ) ≈ 5.2

Therefore, the correct answer is,

D. Mean = 50.4,

Variance = 27.2,

Standard deviation = 5.2.

Answer:

x = 93

Step-by-step explanation:

the adjacent angle to x ( on the right side) and 48° are alternate angles and are congruent.

the 3 angles lying on line m sum to 180° , that is

39 + x + 48 = 180

x + 87 = 180 ( subtract 87 from both sides )

x = 93

The value of variables a and b are,

a = - 4,

b = - 2

WE have to given that;

Function is,

⇒ f (x) = x³ - 12x² + 48x - 62

Now, We can simplify for change the function in the form of

f (x) = (x + a)³ + b as;

⇒ f (x) = x³ - 12x² + 48x - 62

⇒ f (x) = x³ - 12x² + 48x - 62 - 2 + 2

⇒ f (x) = (x - 4)³ + 2

Hence, We get;

By comparing we get;

a = - 4,

b = - 2

No, there are x values which map to more than 1 y-value.

Given that Matthew examines the relation as shown in the below.

We need to check whether the relation is a function or not,

So, we know that,

A relation can map inputs to multiple outputs. It is a function when it maps each input to exactly one output. The set of all functions is a subset of the set of all relations.

If any x values are repeated, and the corresponding y values are different, then we have a relation and not a function.

Given statement solution:- The fewer people in the 18-25 year age group result is negative, it indicates that the 18-25 year age group has more people with some form of technology career than all other age groups combined. None of the options provided (a, b, c, d) are correct.

To find the number of fewer people in the 18-25 year age group with some form of technology career compared to all other age groups combined, we need to sum up the technology career numbers for all age groups except the 18-25 year age group and then subtract it from the number for the 18-25 year age group.

Sum of technology career numbers for age groups other than 18-25 years:

(41+ yrs) + (36-40 yrs) + (26-35 yrs) = 24312 + 3.215 + 2.709 = 24318.924

Number of fewer people in the 18-25 year age group compared to all other age groups combined:

1673 - 24318.924 = -22645.924

Since the fewer people in the 18-25 year age group result  is negative, it indicates that the 18-25 year age group has more people with some form of technology career than all other age groups combined. Therefore, none of the options provided (a, b, c, d) are correct.

Answer: the present age of son is 15 years, and the present age of father is 45 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of son be 'x' and that of his father be 'y'.

So according to the question, the 1st equation that can be formed will be:

y = 3(x) ->(1)

[as father's age is 3 times the age of son]

Now after 5 years:

Age of son = (x+5)

Age of father = (y+5)

So according to the question, the 2nd equation that can be formed will be:

(y+5) = 2.5×(x+5) ->(2)

[as father is now two and half times old as his son]

Substituting the value of equation (1) in (2), we get:

(3x+5) = 2.5×(x+5)

=> 3x + 5 = 2.5x + 12.5

=> 3x - 2.5x = 12.5 - 5

=> 0.5x = 7.5

=> x = 7.5/0.5 = 15

Thus, the present age of son is 15 years.

Note : we can calculate the age of father by putting the value of x in equation (1) or (2):

y = 3(x) = 3 × 15 = 45 (putting x in equation 1)

Thus, the present age of father is 45 years.

The number of additional copies you could ship by ordering 128 instead of 127 copies is 0 copies.

We have,

To determine the number of additional copies you could ship if you ordered 128 copies instead of 127 copies, we need to compare the costs of ordering each quantity using the given function C(n).

For n = 127:

C(127) = $6.91 x 127 = $878.57

For n = 128:

C(128) = $5.16 x 128 = $660.48

By subtracting the cost of ordering 127 copies from the cost of ordering 128 copies, we can determine the cost difference:

Cost difference = C(128) - C(127)

= $660.48 - $878.57

= -$218.09

Since the cost difference is negative, it means that ordering 128 copies is cheaper than ordering 127 copies.

However, the question asks for the number of additional copies, so we need to consider the whole number of copies.

Rounding down to the nearest whole copy, the number of additional copies you could ship by ordering 128 instead of 127 copies is 0 copies.

Thus,

The number of additional copies you could ship by ordering 128 instead of 127 copies is 0 copies.

Answer:

Number of TAILS outcomes = 100 - 58 = 42

Experimental probability of TAILS = Number of TAILS outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 42/100 = 0.42

The theoretical probability of getting HEADS or TAILS is 0.5 each, assuming the penny is fair.

The experimental probability of HEADS is 58/100 = 0.58, which is close to the theoretical probability of 0.5. This suggests that Aaron's experiment is consistent with the theoretical probability. Similarly, the experimental probability of TAILS is 0.42, which is also close to the theoretical probability of 0.5. This further supports the idea that the penny is fair.

The Probability of Boris' character casting a spell is 8/15, based on the given odds in favor of 8/7.

The probability of Boris' character casting a spell, we can use the odds in favor of casting a spell. The odds in favor are given as 8/7.

Odds in favor of an event are calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of unfavorable outcomes. In this case, the favorable outcomes are the instances where Boris' character casts a spell, and the unfavorable outcomes are the instances where his character does not cast a spell.

Let's represent the probability of casting a spell as P(casting spell). We can use the formula for odds in favor to find the probability:

Odds in favor = Favorable outcomes / Unfavorable outcomes

8/7 = Favorable outcomes / Unfavorable outcomes

To solve for the probability, we need to convert the odds into a fraction. We can do this by considering the odds as a ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

The odds can be written as:

8/(8+7) = Favorable outcomes / (Favorable outcomes + Unfavorable outcomes)

8/(8+7) = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes

8/15 = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes

Since the total outcomes represent all possible outcomes, the denominator represents the total number of outcomes, which includes both the favorable and unfavorable outcomes.

Therefore, the probability of Boris' character casting a spell is 8/15.

In summary, the probability of Boris' character casting a spell is 8/15, based on the given odds in favor of 8/7.
