Factor the expression below.
[tex]x^{2} - 10x + 25[/tex]
A. (x - 5)(x - 5)
B. (x + 5)(x + 5)
C. (x - 5)(x + 5)
D. 5(x2 - x + 5)
Answer:
A. (x - 5)(x - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We will do this the old fashioned way...just plain old factoring.
This polynomial is of the form
[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]
The product of a and c have to add up to equal the "middle" term, -10.
a = 1, b = -10, c = 25
a * c = 1 * 25 = 25
Now we need the factors of 25 to find the combination of factors that will result in a -10. The factors of 25 are: 1, 25 and 5, 5
5 and 5 add up to be 10, but since we need a -10, we will use -5 and -5. The product of -5 * -5 = 25, so we are not messing anything up by using the negative 5.
Putting them in order in standard form we have
[tex]x^2-5x-5x+25[/tex]
Factor by grouping:
[tex](x^2-5x)-(5x+25)[/tex]
There is an x common to both terms in the first set of parenthesis, so we will factor that out; there is a 5 common to both terms in the second set of parenthesis, so we will factor that out:
x(x - 5) - 5(x - 5)
NOW what's common in both terms is the (x - 5) so we factor THAT out, and what's left gets grouped together:
(x - 5)(x - 5)
Find b and then solve the equation: d (b−5)x2−(b−2)x+b=0, if one of its roots is 1/2
ANSWER
[tex]b = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{7} [/tex]
EXPLANATION
The given expression is
[tex](b - 5) {x}^{2} - (b - 2)x + b = 0[/tex]
If
[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
is a root, then it must satisfy the given equation.
[tex](b - 5) {( \frac{1}{2} )}^{2} - (b - 2)( \frac{1}{2} )+ b = 0[/tex]
[tex](b - 5) {( \frac{1}{4} )} - (b - 2)( \frac{1}{2} )+ b = 0[/tex]
Multiply through by 4,
[tex](b - 5)- 2(b - 2)+4 b = 0[/tex]
Expand:
[tex]b - 5- 2b + 4+4 b = 0[/tex]
Group similar terms;
[tex]b - 2b + 4b = 5 - 4[/tex]
[tex]3b = 1[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Our equation then becomes:
[tex]( \frac{1}{3} - 5) {x}^{2} - ( \frac{1}{3} - 2)x + \frac{1}{3} = 0[/tex]
[tex]( - \frac{14}{3} ) {x}^{2} - ( - \frac{5}{3} )x + \frac{1}{3} = 0[/tex]
[tex] - 14{x}^{2} + 5x + 1= 0[/tex]
Factor:
[tex](2x - 1)(7x + 1) = 0[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{7} [/tex]
A girl makes 12 foul shots for every 8 that she misses.How many shots did she make if she shot 125 foul shots
Answer: There are 208 shots she make if she shot 125 foul shots.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of foul shots = 12
Number of shots she misses = 8
Total number of shots = 12+8=20
So, if the number of foul shots = 125
We need to find the number of shots she make.
According to question, we get that
[tex]\dfrac{12}{20}=\dfrac{125}{x}\\\\12x=125\times 20\\\\12x=2500\\\\x=\dfrac{2500}{12}\\\\x=208.33\\\\x\approx 208[/tex]
Hence, there are 208 shots she make if she shot 125 foul shots.

The local bank charges 2%.
When the balance is $600, the local bank would charge: 600 x 0.02 = $12
This means if the balance is higher the $600, the local bank would charge more than $12.
The answer would be the second choice: The fee at the local bank will be more than the fee at the local credit union only when the account balance is more than $600.
For what values of k does the function y = cos(kt) satisfy the differential equation 9y'' = −100y? (enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
Answer:
-10/3, 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(In this answer I will use y' to denote the derivative of y with respect to t. You shouldn't normally do this because y' normally means the derivative of y with respect to x but I'll be a bit messy for this case)
First calculate the derivatives:
[tex]y=\cos(kt) \Rightarrow y'=-k\sin(kt) \Rightarrow y'' = -k^2\cos(kt)[/tex].
Then plug the derivtes y'' and y into the equation:
[tex]-9k^2\cos(kt) = -100\cos(kt)[/tex]
Solve the equation for k:
[tex]100\cos(kt) - 9k^2\cos(kt) = 0 \\\\\Rightarrow \cos(kt)(100-9k^2) = 0[/tex]
So then we have that [tex]y=\cos(kt)[/tex] satisfies the differential equation when [tex]\cos(kt) = 0[/tex] or when [tex]100-9k^2=0[/tex] (or both). The solutions to these equations are:
[tex]\left \{ {{\cos(kt)=0 \Rightarrow k=\frac{n\pi}{2t}} \atop {100-9k^2 = 0 \Rightarrow k= \pm \sqrt{\frac{100}{9}}=\pm \frac{10}{3}}} \right.[/tex]
I understand that looks a bit complicated and I doubt you would have to give your answers in terms of t so if it asks for a separated list of answers I would go for:
k = -10/3, 10/3.
The values are [tex]k = \pm \frac{10}{3}[/tex].
-----------------------------
To find the values of k, we have to replace the derivatives into the equation.The function is:
[tex]y = \cos{kt}[/tex]
The derivatives are:
[tex]y^{\prime}(t) = -k\sin{kt}[/tex]
[tex]y^{\prime\prime}(t) = -k^2\cos{kt}[/tex]
The equation is:
[tex]9y^{\prime\prime} = -100y[/tex]
Replacing:
[tex]-9k^2\cos{kt} = -100\cos{kt}[/tex]
[tex]9k^2 = 100[/tex]
[tex]k^2 = \frac{100}{9}[/tex]
[tex]k = \pm \sqrt{\frac{100}{9}}[/tex]
[tex]k = \pm \frac{10}{3}[/tex]
Those are the values.

identify the horizontal and vertical intercepts of the limacon represented by the equation r=7+3cos theta
Answer:
vertical intercepts: (7, pi/2) and (-7, pi/2)
horizontal intercepts: (10,0) and (-4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal and vertical intercepts are respectively; [(10,0) and (-4,0)] and [(7, π/2) and (-7, π/2)]
What are the horizontal and vertical intercepts?We are given the parametric equation;
r = 7 + 3 cos θ
Now, the vertical intercept will be when cos θ = 0 and that is at θ = π/2
Thus;
At θ = π/2, we have;
r = 7 + (3 * 0)
r = 7
But this will also give the same value of θ when r = -7
Thus; vertical intercepts are; (7, π/2) and (-7, π/2)
Horizontal intercept will occur when cos θ = 1. Thus;
At θ = 0, we have;
r = 7 + (3 * 1)
r = 10
Also, the lower interval will be when cos θ = -1. Which is 0 on the negative side. Thus
r = 7 + (3 * -1)
r = 4
Thus; horizontal intercepts are; (10,0) and (-4,0)

f(x)= 3x/ x^2-16
a) x= -16
b) x= -4
c) x= 0
d) x= 4
e) x= 16
Answer:
x = 1 and x = 2
x = 4 and x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical asymptotes appear where the function does not have a value. This is most commonly when the denominator of a rational function is 0. Find the asymptotes by factoring the denominator and setting it equal to 0. Then solve for x.
First equation
x² - 3x + 2 factors into (x-1)(x-2)
When x-1 = 0, x = 1. When x-2=0, x = 2. The V.A. are at x = 1 and x = 2.
Second equation
x² - 16 factors into (x+4)(x-4)
When x+4= 0, x = -4. When x-4 = 0, then x = 4. The V.A. are at x = -4 and x = 4.
Final answer:
The function f(x) = 3x/(x² - 16) is defined for x = -16, x = 0, and x = 16, but undefined for x = -4 and x = 4, where it has vertical asymptotes.
Explanation:
The question requires evaluating the function f(x) = 3x/ x²-16 for different values of x. When we evaluate this function, we must pay attention to the values at which the function is undefined, which is when the denominator x^2 - 16 equals zero. This occurs when x = -4 or x = 4, as these values make the denominator (x + 4)(x - 4) equal to zero.
For x = -16, the function is defined and f(-16) can be calculated.For x = -4, the function is undefined as the denominator will be zero.For x = 0, the function is defined and f(0) = 0.For x = 4, the function is undefined as well.For x = 16, the function is defined and f(16) can be calculated.Options (b) and (d) correspond to the values at which the function has vertical asymptotes, as the denominator becomes zero and the function value approaches infinity.

Answer:
The third term of the expansion [tex](a+b)^n[/tex] is [tex]C(n,2)\cdot a^{n-2}\cdot b^{2}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the binomial expansion,
[tex](a+b)^n=C(n,0)a^{n}+C(n,1)a^{n-1}b+...+C(n,n)b^n[/tex]
So, the rth term of this expansion is
[tex]C(n,r-1)a^{n-r+1}b^{(r-1)}[/tex]
We have to find the third term of the expansion [tex](a+b)^n[/tex] is
[tex]C(n,3-1)a^{n-3+1}b^{(3-1)}[/tex]
[tex]C(n,2)\cdot a^{n-2}\cdot b^{2}[/tex]
Therefore the third term of the expansion [tex](a+b)^n[/tex] is [tex]C(n,2)\cdot a^{n-2}\cdot b^{2}[/tex].

Recall and use the quotient rule of logarithms;
[tex]\log_b(MN)=\log_b(M)-\log_b(N)[/tex];
We apply this property to obtain;
[tex]\log_b(\frac{x^3}{y^2} )=\log_b(x^3)-\log_b(y^2)[/tex]
Recall again that;
[tex]\log_b(M^n)=n\log_b(M)[/tex]
We apply this property also to obtain;

Given RQ = 20 inches and PR = 25 inches what is the m∠Q ?
Answer:
73.2°
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Law of Sines to solve:
(Sin 50)/20 = (Sin B)/25
Solve for Sin B
[25(Sin 50)]/20 = Sin B
Use Sin^-1 x to solve (sine inverse)
Sin^-1 ( [25(Sin 50)]/20 ) = B
B = 73.24685774
Answer:
73 degreesStep-by-step explanation:
Use the sine law:
[tex]\dfrac{RQ}{\sin(\angle P)}=\dfrac{PR}{\sin(\angle Q)}[/tex]
We have
[tex]RQ=20\ in\\\\m\angle P=50^o\to\sin50^o\approx0.766\\\\PR=25\ in[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\dfrac{20}{0.766}=\dfrac{25}{\sin(\angle Q)}[/tex] cross multiply
[tex]20\sin(\angle Q)=(25)(0.766)[/tex]
[tex]20\sin(\angle Q)=19.15[/tex] divide both sides by 20
[tex]\sin(\angle Q)=0.9575\to m\angle Q\approx73^o[/tex]

Ben is building a workshop in his backyard with dimensions as shown in the figure. Ben is planning to air-condition the workshop using a window-unit air conditioner. He needs to determine the BTU's (British Thermal Units) required to cool the building. For a new construction with good insulation, there should be 2 BTU per cubic foot. What is the minimum capacity for the window air conditioner that Ben need to purchase.
Answer:
2160 BTU
Step-by-step explanation:
Ben looks at his plan and realizes that his building can be viewed as a triangular prism sitting on a cube.
Calculating the volume of a cube is easy… Length x Width x Height (LWH)… so 12 x 10 x 8 = 120 x 8 = 960 cubic feet for the cube part.
For the prism, it’s almost the same… but divided by 2 : (LWH)/2, so… (12 x 10 x 2) / 2 = (120 x 2) / 2 = 240 / 2 = 120 cubic feet for the prism part.
Total for the building : 960 + 120 = 1080 cubic feet
Since 2 BTU per cubic foot, the power of the unit needs to be at least 1080 x 2 = 2160 BTU.

(a) find the probability that a claim is below average? [19/27] (b) suppose 3 claims will be made. what is the expected value of the largest of the three claims? [2.025] (c) suppose 3 claims will be made. what is the expected value of smallest of the three claims?[1.125]
Final answer:
The random variable X represents claim amounts for wind damage to insured homes. The probability that a claim is below average is 19/27. The expected value of the largest claim is 2.025 and the expected value of the smallest claim is 1.125.
Explanation:
a. The random variable X represents the claim amounts for wind damage to insured homes.
b. To find the probability that a claim is below average, we first need to calculate the average claim amount. We can do this by finding the expected value of X, which is given by E(X) = ∫[10,∞]x * f(x) dx, where f(x) is the density function of X. Evaluating this integral, we get E(X) = 19/27. Therefore, the probability that a claim is below average is P(X < E(X)) = P(X < 19/27) = 19/27.
c. The expected value of the largest of the three claims can be calculated by finding the maximum of three independent random variables with density f(x). Since the density is continuous, the probability that the maximum claim amount is less than or equal to x is given by P(X₁ ≤ x, X₂ ≤ x, X₃ ≤ x) = [F(x)]³, where F(x) is the cumulative distribution function of X. To find the expected value, we need to find the maximum amount x such that [F(x)]³ = 1/2. Solving this equation, we get x ≈ 2.025.
d. Similarly, the expected value of the smallest of the three claims can be calculated by finding the minimum of three independent random variables with density f(x). The probability that the minimum claim amount is greater than or equal to x is given by P(X₁ ≥ x, X₂ ≥ x, X₃ ≥ x) = [1 - F(x)]³. To find the expected value, we need to find the minimum amount x such that [1 - F(x)]³ = 1/2. Solving this equation, we get x ≈ 1.125.
In a carnival game, a person wagers $2 on the roll of two dice. if the total of the two dice is 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 then the person gets $4 (the $2 wager and $2 winnings). if the total of the two dice is 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 then the person gets nothing (loses $2). if the total of the two dice is 7, the person gets $1.75 back (loses $0.25). what is the expected value of playing the game once?
Answer: a loss of 4 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of rolling a sum of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 is [tex]\dfrac{15}{36}[/tex] which earns $2.00
The probability of rolling a sum of 28, 9, 10, 11, or 12 is [tex]\dfrac{15}{36}[/tex] which loses $2.00
The probability of rolling a sum of 7 is [tex]\dfrac{6}{36}[/tex] which loses $0.25
[tex]\bigg(\dfrac{15}{36}\times \$2.00\bigg)+\bigg(\dfrac{15}{36}\times -\$2.00\bigg)+\bigg(\dfrac{6}{36}\times -\$0.25\bigg)=\boxed{-\$0.04}[/tex]
The expected value of playing the game once is -$0.62, indicating an expected average loss of 62 cents per game.
Explanation:The expected value of playing the game once is -$0.62, rounded to the nearest cent. This means that if you play the game repeatedly over a long string of games, you would expect to lose 62 cents per game, on average. The expected value indicates an expected average loss, so it is not recommended to play this game to win money.
