Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify  

           x2 + 5x + 4

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1     Factoring  x2 - x - 2

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -x  its coefficient is  -1 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -2

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -2 = -2

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -2  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -1 .

     -2    +    1    =    -1    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -2  and  1

                    x2 - 2x + 1x - 2

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (x-2)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                    1 • (x-2)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+1)  •  (x-2)

            Which is the desired factorization

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.2     Factoring  x2+5x+4

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +5x  its coefficient is  5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +4

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 4 = 4

Step-2 : Find two factors of  4  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   5 .

     -4    +    -1    =    -5

     -2    +    -2    =    -4

     -1    +    -4    =    -5

     1    +    4    =    5    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  1  and  4

                    x2 + 1x + 4x + 4

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (x+1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   4 • (x+1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+4)  •  (x+1)

            Which is the desired factorization

Canceling Out :

1.3    Cancel out  (x+1)  which appears on both sides of the fraction line.

Final result :

 x - 2

 —————

 x + 4

one ounce of gold can be purchased for $1,195.80.one ounce of silver can be purshased for $16.08.what is the difference between the cost of 5 ounces of gold and 5 ounces of silver?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion question a proportion is 2 equal ratios equated to each othe. If three parts are known the 4 can be found.

Givens

1 oz silver costs 16.08

1 oz  Gold costs 1195.80

Silver

16.08/1 = x / 5                Multiply both sides by 5

5*16.08 = 1*x            

80.4       =x

Gold

1195.80/1 = x/5

5 * 1195 = 1 * x

5979  = x

Answer

Difference = Cost of Gold - Cost of Silver

Difference = 5979 - 80.4

Answer Difference = 5898.60

Which statement is true?

A.
The function is an odd function because its graph is symmetric about the y-axis.
B.
The function is an even function because .
C.
The function is an odd function because .
D.
The function is an even function because its graph is symmetric about the origin.

Answers

The true statement is The function f(x)= tan(x) is an odd function because f(-x) = -f(x).

What is odd function?

When x is substituted with -x, the odd functions are those that return their negative inverse. When f(-x) = -f(x), it follows that f(x) is an odd function (x). The trigonometric sine function, tangent function, cosecant function, etc. are a few examples of odd functions.

If f(x) = f(x), then the function is odd for all x. An odd function's graph will be symmetrical in all directions around the origin. Consider how unusual f(x) = x³ is. In other words, the function on one side of the x-axis is graphically symmetric about the origin or sign inverted with respect to the other side.

As, we know for the

even function: f(-x) = f(x)

odd function: f(-x)= -f(x)

and, using Trigonometry

tan x = sin x / cos x

Then,

f(-x) = sin (-x) / cos (-x)

      = -sin (x) / cos (x)

      = -tan (x)

      = -f(x)

Thus, tan (x) is an odd function.

Hence, the function f(x)= tan(x) is an odd function because f(-x) = -f(x).

47. Racing cars driven by Chris and Kelly are side by side at the start of a race. The table shows the velocities of each car (in miles per hour) during the first ten seconds of the race. Use the Midpoint Rule to estimate how much farther Kelly travels than Chris does during the first ten seconds.

Answers

Use the Midpoint Rule Kelly travels 12m/s more than Chris does during the first ten seconds.

What is the midpoint rule?

The midpoint rule is the rule that follows the median of a set of values which is the middle value when the values are written in numerical order.

From the table above, the midpoint for the velocity of Chris car = 81, while the midpoint for the velocity of Kelly's car = 93

Therefore, the Kelly's car travelled 93-81 = 12 m/s farther than Chris does during the first ten seconds.

Explain how you would create and use a spinner to simulate the probability of an event with the following probabilities:
Percent chance: 20% green, ¼ blue, ⅖ yellow, and 15% orange

Answers

To simulate the probability in a spinner divide the spinner into colors depending on the probability each color represents.

What does the word "probability" mean?

This word refers to the likelihood for an event to occur. Moreover, it is often expressed either as a fraction, a percentage, or a number.

How to create a spinner to simulate probability?

In this case, each of the colors represents a probability:

Green 20%Blue 1/4 or 25%Yellow 2/5 oe 40%Orange 15%

Due to this, the best is to divide the spinner by colors and considering the percentanges of each color. For example 40% of the spinner should be red, while 15% should be orange.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

use the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

and therefore also

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

where the lines and corresponding angles are always opposite of each other.

and remember, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

and sin(x) = sin(180-x).

so, we have

sin(32)/43 = sin(B)/53

sin(B) = 53×sin(32)/43 = 0.653156302...

B = 40.77999844...° ≈ 41°

C = 180 - 32 - 40.77999844... = 107.2200016...° ≈ 107°

43/sin(32) = c/sin(107.2200016...)

c = 43×sin(107.2200016...)/sin(32) = 77.507143... ft

≈ 78 ft

B' = 180 - B = 139.2200016...° ≈ 139°

C' = 180 - 32 - 139.2200016... = 8.779998438...° ≈ 9°

43/sin(32) = c'/sin(8.779998438...)

c' = 43×sin(8.779998438...)/sin(32) = 12.38595519... ft

Answer:

a(5) = 1.080

a(10) =  0.393

a(20) =  0.122

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the derivative of velocity v(t) -> acceleration a(t)

v(t) -> a(t)

Quotient Rule: [tex]\frac{u*dv-du*v}{u^2}[/tex]

[tex]120*\frac{x}{5x+13}[/tex]

Make u= 5x+13 and v=x

[tex]120*\frac{x'*(5x+13)-x*(5x+13)'}{(5x+13)^2}\\\\120*\frac{1*(5x+13)-x*(5)}{(5x+13)^2}\\\\120*\frac{(5x+13)-5x}{(5x+13)^2}\\120*\frac{13}{(5x+13)^2} \\\\a(t)=\frac{1560}{(5x+13)^2}[/tex]

Now Subsitute your a(5) , a(10) , a(20). Also, round to 3 decimal place.

a(5) = 1.08033241 = 1.080

a(10) = 0.3930461073 = 0.393

a(20) = 0.122170826 = 0.122

Answer:

  (a) 1.080 ft/s²

  (b) 0.393 ft/s²

  (c) 0.122 ft/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the derivative of velocity. You are being asked to differentiate the given function and evalutate the derivative at three different times. The function is a rational function, so the formula for the derivative of a ratio is applicable.

  (u/v)' = (vu' -uv')/v²

__

For the given velocity function, the accleration is ...

  v(t) = (120t)/(5t +13)

  a(t) = v'(t) = ((5t +13)(120) -(120t)(5))/(5t +13)² = 1560/(5t +13)²

(a)

At t=5, the acceleration is ...

  a(5) = 1560/(5·5 +13)² = 1560/1444 ≈ 1.080 . . . ft/s²

(b)

At t=10, the acceleration is ...

  a(10) = 1560/(5·10 +13)² = 1560/3969 ≈ 0.393 . . . ft/s²

(c)

At t=20, the acceleration is ...

  a(20) = 1560/(5·20 +13)² = 1560/12729 ≈ 0.122 . . . ft/s²
