10a+5(a-3)=15 I don’t know the answer I keep checking and it’s wrong

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]10a + 5(a - 3) = 15 \\ 10a + 5a - 15 = 15 \\ 15a = 30 \\ a = \frac{30}{15} \\ a = 2 \\ 10 \times 2 + 5(2 - 3) = 15 \\ 20 + - 5 = 15 \\ 15 = 15 \\ lhs = rhs\\ thank \: you[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer: a = 2

Solve:

Given

10a + 5 (a - 3) = 15

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

10a + 5 · a - 5 · 3 = 15

10a + 5a - 15 = 15

Combine like terms

(10a + 5a) - 15 = 15

15a - 15 = 15

Add 15 on both sides

15a - 15 + 15 = 15 + 15

15a = 30

Divide 15 on both sides

15a / 15 = 30 / 15

[tex]\boxed{a=2}[/tex]

Check:

Left-hand side = 10a + 5 (a - 3)

Left-hand side = 10(2) + 5 (2 - 3)

Left-hand side = 20 + 5(-1)

Left-hand side = 20 - 5

Left-hand side = 15

Right-hand side = 15

15 = 15, therefore, [tex]\boxed{a=2}[/tex] would make the equation true.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means

( -23.4166 , -6.5834)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given first sample size n₁ = 100

Given mean of the first sample x₁⁻ = 178

Standard deviation of the sample S₁ = 35

Given second sample size n₂= 100

Given mean of the second sample x₂⁻ = 193

Standard deviation of the sample S₂ = 37

Step(ii):-

Standard error of two population means

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, image to preimage, that is

scale factor = [tex]\frac{DE}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12.09}{16.12}[/tex] = 0.75 → B

The scale factor of the dilation will be 1.33. Then the correct option is A.

What is dilation?

Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.

There is no effect of dilation on the angle.

In the diagram, ∆ABC and ∆DBE are similar.

Then the scale factor of the dilation that will map the preimage ΔABC onto the image ΔDBE will be

⇒ 16.12 / 12.09

⇒ 1.33

Then the correct option is A.

A researcher surveys middle-school students on their study habits. She finds that in a random sample of 28 middle-school students, the mean amount of time that they spend working on the computer each night is 2.4 hours with a standard deviation of 0.92 hours. She uses the sample statistics to compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean - the the mean amount of time that all middle-school students spend working on the computer each night. What is the margin of error for this confidence interval

Answers

Answer:

The margin of error is  [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 0.92}{\sqrt{28 } }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  [tex]n = 28[/tex]

     The  sample  mean is  [tex]\= x = 2.4 \ hr[/tex]

      The  standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 0.92 \ hr[/tex]

     

Given that the confidence level is 95% the the level of significance can be evaluated as

             [tex]\alpha = 100 -95[/tex]

            [tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]

             [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table,the value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.05}{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

           [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 0.92}{\sqrt{28 } }[/tex]

         [tex]E = 0.3408[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions always will end up being bigger than quadratic functions and since g(x) is probably the exponential it makes f(x) the quadratic because it is growing slower than the function g(x)

The function g(x) increases faster than the function f(x). Then the correct option is D.

What is a function?

The function is an expression, rule, or law that defines the relationship between one variable to another variable. Functions are ubiquitous in mathematics and are essential for formulating physical relationships.

The table below shows the values of f(x) and g(x) for different values of x.

One of the functions is a quadratic function, and the other is an exponential function.

The quadratic function f(x) will be

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

At x = 1, f(x) will be 3

a + b + c = 3 ...1

At x = 2, f(x) will be 6

4a + 2b + c = 6 ...2

At x = 3, f(x) will be 11

9a + 3b + c = 11 ...3

On solving equations 1, 2, and 3, we have

a = 1, b = 0, and c = 2

Then the quadratic function will be

f(x) = x² + 2

The exponential function g(x) will be given as

g(x) = abˣ

At x = 1, g(x) will be 3

ab = 3 ...4

At x = 2, g(x) will be 9

ab² = 9 ...5

From equations 4 and 5, we have

a = 1 and b = 3

Then the exponential function will be

[tex]\rm g(x) = 3^x[/tex]

Answer:

  4f^2 -4f +1

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be useful to memorize the form of the square of a binomial:

  (a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2

Here, you have a=2f and b=-1. Then the square is ...

  (2f)^2 +2(2f)(-1) +(-1)^2 = 4f^2 -4f +1

__

More generally, the distributive property applies.

  (2f -1)^2 = (2f -1)(2f -1) = 2f(2f -1) -1(2f -1)

  = (2f)(2f) +(2f)(-1) +(-1)(2f) +(-1)(-1) = 4f^2 -2f -2f +1 = 4f^2 -4f +1

Which best describes the relationship between the lines with equations -36x + 8y = 16 and
-9x + 2y = 4?

Answers

Hi there! :)

Answer:

The lines are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by converting each equation into its simplest form in slope-intercept form:

-36x + 8y = 16

Move the "x" variable to the right side of the equation:

8y = 36x + 16

Divide all terms by 8:

y = 36/8x + 16/8

y = 9/2x + 2

-------------------------------

-9x + 2y = 4

Move "x" variable:

2y = 9x + 4

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 9/2x + 2

Both of the equations are equivalent, meaning both of the lines are the same.

Credit card companies lose money on cardholders who fail to pay their minimum payments. They use a variety of methods to encourage their delinquent cardholders to pay their credit card balances, such as letters, phone calls and eventually the hiring of a collection agency.

After a trial period during which the agency attempted to collect from a random sample of 100 delinquent cardholders, the 90% confidence interval on the mean collected amount was reported as ($190.25, $250.75).

Also, $200 lies in it such that it is more far from $250.75 than $190.25, that means there are large chances of having an average is at least $200 per customer.

Answers

x refers to time. Since we want to know how long it is in the air, we need to find the time (x) when the ball lands on the ground (y = 0)

0 = -14x² + 84x

0 = -14x(x - 6)

0 = -14x     0 = x - 6
