Answer:

7m(3m^6 - m^4 + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a factorization question

All we want to do here is to factor out 7m from each term of the polynomial

This becomes;

21m^7 -7m^5 + 49m = 7m (3m^6 - m^4 + 7)

sketch the graph for the following quadratic function.
[tex] - x ^{2} + 4x + 12[/tex]​
it's ok if it's wrong.i just wanna see how the work done to do this

Answers

Answer:

Please refer to the attached image for the graph of given function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

[tex]-x^{2} +4x+12[/tex]

Let us rewrite by letting it equal to [tex]y[/tex].

[tex]y=-x^{2} +4x+12[/tex]

Now, we can see that it is a quadratic equation and it is known that a quadratic equation has a graph of parabola.

Let us compare the given equation with standard quadratic equation:

[tex]y=ax^{2} +bx+c[/tex]

we get:

[tex]a = -1\\b = 4\\c = 12[/tex]

Coefficient of [tex]x^{2}[/tex] is negative 1, so the parabola will open downwards.

Axis of symmetry: It is the line which will divide the parabola in two equal congruent halves.

Formula for axis of symmetry is:

[tex]x = -\dfrac{b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x = -\dfrac{4}{2(-1)}\\\Rightarrow x=2[/tex]

It is shown as dotted line in the image attached in the answer area.

Axis of symmetry will also contain the vertex of the parabola.

It is a downward parabola so vertex will be the highest point on this parabola.

Putting x = 2 in the equation of parabola:

[tex]y=-2^{2} +4\times 2+12\\\Rightarrow y =16[/tex]

So, vertex will be at P(2, 16).

Now, let us find points of parabola to sketch graph:

put x = 0, [tex]y=-0^{2} +4\times 0+12=12[/tex]

Another point is Y(0,12)

Now, let us put y = 0, it will give us two points because the equation is quadratic in x.

[tex]0=-x^{2} +4x+12\\\Rightarrow -x^{2} +6x-2x+12=0\\\Rightarrow -x(x -6)-2(x-6)=0\\\Rightarrow (-x-2)(x-6)=0\\\Rightarrow x = -2, 6[/tex]

So, other two points are X1(-2, 0) and X2(6,0).

If we plot the points P, Y, X1 and X2 we get a graph as attached in the image in answer area.

A person is selected at random. What is the probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No of people using both gym and pool that is N( gup ) = 25

No of people using both track and pool that is N( tup ) = 30

No of people using both track and gym that is N( tug ) = 17

No of people using all that is N( gutup) = 6

No of people  using two or three facilities

= 25+30+17- 2 x 6

= 60

Total no of people = 125

No of people using only one facility

= 125 - 60

= 65 .

Ratio of people using only one facility

= 65 / 125

.52

Required probability

= .52 .

probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities

PLZ HELP Point C(3.6, -0.4) divides in the ratio 3: 2. If the coordinates of A are (-6, 5), the coordinates of point B are? If point D divides in the ratio 4: 5, the coordinates of point D are?

Answers

Answer:

In this problem, there is multiple choice for every question. The trick is to exclude the answer that unlikely true.

To solve this easier, you need to find the distance of AB first. After that try to match the answer coordinate with the midpoint of AB. 

1.  Answer: Point C(-3.6, -3.4) divides AB in the ratio 2:3

A (-2,-1) and B(-6, -7)The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = -6 - (-2)= -4

y= y2-y1 = -7 - (-1)= -6

Since both x and y coordinate of A and B is minus, let's try answer with x and y minus value.

Point C(-3.6, -3.4) divides AB in the ratio 2:3

x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= -2 + (2/2+3)*(-4)= -3.6

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= -1 + (2/2+3)*(-6)= -1 - 12/5= -3.4

2.  Point C(0, 1) divides AB in the ratio 4:7

A(4,-3) and B(-7,8)

The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = -7 - (4)= -11

y= y2-y1 = 8 - (-3)= 11

Since both x and y distance is 11, let's try answer with total ratio 11

Point C(0, 1) divides AB in the ratio 4:7

x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= 4 + (4/4+7)*(-11)= 4- 4=0

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= -3 + (4/4+7)*(11)= -3 +4= 1

3. Answer: Point C(8, 9) divides AB in the ratio 5:3

A(3,4) and B(11,12)The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = 11 - (3)= 8

y= y2-y1 = 12 - (4)= 8

Since both x and y distance is 8, let's try answer with the total ratio 8. Both of x and y also plus, so focus on coordinate with both x and y plus too.

Point C(3.5, -2.5) divides AB in the ratio 1:7-----> total ratio 8,y minus

Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6  -----> total ratio 8, x minus

Point C(8, 9) divides AB in the ratio 5:3   -----> total ratio 8, both x and y plus

x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= 3 + (5/5+3)*(8)= 3+ 5=8

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= 4 + (5/5+3)*(8)= 4 +5= 9

4. Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6  

A(-5,2)and B(7, 14)

The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = 7 - (-5)= 12

y= y2-y1 = 14 - (2)= 12

Since both x and y distance is 12, it will be hard to use it since 12 has many factors. Both y coordinate is plus, so focus on coordinate with y more than x and plus.

Point C(4, 1.6) divides AB in the ratio 3:2  ----->  x more than y

Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6  -------> y plus, y more than xx3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= -5 + (2/2+6)*(12)= -5+ 3=-2

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= 2 + (2/2+6)*(12)= 2 +3= 5

Step 2: Write systems of equations

x = 4y + 8

5x + 2y = 414

Step 3: Use Substitution

5(4y + 8) + 2y = 414

20y + 40 + 2y = 414

22y = 374

y = 17

Step 4: Plug in y to find x

x = 4(17) + 8

x = 68 + 8

x = 76

Answer:

x = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Roses

y = Tulips

x = 4y + 8

5x + 2y = 414

5(4y + 8) + 2y = 414

20y + 40 + 2y = 414

22y = 374

y = 17

x = 4(17) + 8

x = 68 + 8

x = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function: [tex]f(x)= -\dfrac23x-24[/tex]

[tex]f(x)+24= -\dfrac23x\\$Multiply both sides by $ -\dfrac32\\x=-\dfrac32(f(x)+24)\\f^{-1}(x)=-\dfrac32f(x)-36[/tex]

What does the graph of f(x)=3x^2-2x+1 look like

Answers

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabola.

As the coefficient of x^2 is positive it will open upwards ( shaped like a 'U').

If we convert to vertex form we can find the line of symmetry  and the coordinates of the vertex:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 1

f(x) = 3(x^2 - 2/3 x) + 1

f(x) = 3[(x - 1/3)^2 - (1/3)^2] + 1

f(x) = 3(x - 1/3)^2 - 1/3 + 1

f(x) = 3(x - 1/3)^2 + 2/3

So the line of symmetry is  x = 1/3 and

the vertex ( the minimum of the curve) is at (1/3, 2/3).

Jessica can paint 12 rocks in 8 minutes. How many rocks can she paint in 48 minutes

Answers

Answer:

72 rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

A "easier" way to find out the answer, is to find how much rocks Jessica paints in 1 minute.

Divide 12 with 8:

12/8 = 1.5

Next, multiply the number you got (1.5) with 48:

48 x 1.5 = 72

Jessica can paint 72 rocks in 48 minutes.

~

Answer:

72 rocks

Step-by-step explanation:

So let’s create the following ratio 12:8

The 12 is the amount of rocks and the 8 is the time in minutes.

So we have to find how many rocks she can paint in 48 minutes.

So we make the following ratio x:48.

So we need to find x the amount of rocks she can paint in 48 minutes.

So to find x we have to divide 48 by 8 = 6.

So if the ratio is x6 we can just do 12 * 6 which is 72.

So she can  paint 72 rocks in48 minutes.

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.

5x=100 (subtract 3 from both sides)

x=20   (divide both sides by 5)

x = 20

<B= 3x +90

<B = 3 (20) +90

<B = 60 + 90

<B = 150

Q2: 62

An angles complement (not compliment, haha) is what the number that added to the angle equals 90°.

An angle is 34 more than its complement.

Let x represent the angle.

Let y represent its complement.

x= 34 +(90-x)

y= (90-x)

x + y = 90

34 + (90-x) + (90-x) =90

x= 62

Check the answer.

x= 34 more than complement.

62-34=28

62+28=90

Answers

Answer:

35cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The net of a regular pentagon has 10 sides.

Since each of the faces are equilateral triangles, the side lengths are equal.

Therefore:

Length of each side of the net = 70/10 =7cm

Therefore, the base is a regular pentagon of side length 7cm.

The perimeter of the base of the pyramid = 5 X 7

=35cm

The perimeter of the base of the pyramid is 35cm.

Complete question:

Dr. Lyte wishes to study speed of Reaction Time to press a button in response to the onset of a lamp. The independent variable (V) is the color of the light produced by the lamp (red, orange, yellow, green, or blue) Since only 10 participants are available, she elects to administer the IV within-subjects with all 10 participants being exposed to all five levels of the color variable. The order of the color of the light presentation is to be counterbalanced. Using concepts from the textbook, why would Dr. Lyte need to use counterbalancing in this scenario?

Answer:

Here,

Independent variable (IV) is: the color of the light produced by the lamp (red, orange, yellow, green, or blue)

We are also told only 10 participants are available.

All 10 participants are being exposed to all five levels of the color variable in the same order.

Counterbalancing is said to be a technique used when establishing task order. It helps prevent introduction if cofounding variables.

Dr. Lyte will need to use counterbalancing technique in this scenario because some of the participants may be unable to understand difference in similar colours. Example some participants may not be able to differentiate between orange and red when the red colour comes after orange.

But using counterbalancing technique, Dr. Lyte can avoid such an error.
