Answer:
a) 1/2
b) 250
Step-by-step explanation:
The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for [tex]p[/tex] such that [tex]1000p(1-p)[/tex] is maximized. Once we have that [tex]p[/tex], we can easily find the answer to part b.
Finding the value that maximizes [tex]1000p(1-p)[/tex] is the same as finding the value that maximizes [tex]p(1-p)[/tex], just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize [tex]p(1-p)[/tex]. To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.
[tex]p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4[/tex].
Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of [tex]p[/tex] such that the inner part of the square term is equal to [tex]0[/tex].
[tex]p-1/2=0\\p=1/2[/tex].
So, the answer to part a is [tex]\boxed{1/2}[/tex].
We can then plug [tex]1/2[/tex] into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.
[tex]1000(1/2)(1-1/2)=1000(1/2)(1/2)=1000*1/4=250[/tex].
So, the answer to part b is [tex]\boxed{250}[/tex].
And we're done!

use estimation to check whether 96.26 is a reasonable solution fot the equation m-62.74=159
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope you wrote down the right equation using a minus sign instead of a plus.
Rounding 96.26 off to just 96 and then rounding 62.74 off to 62, you can subtract the two in your head real quick.
96 - 62 = 34
So using this estimation you can see that the answer of 159 is no where near correct.

10x-2-6x=2(2x-1)
Answer:
All real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 10x-2-6x=2(2x-1)
Distribute: 10x-2-6x=4x-2
Simplify like terms: 4x-2=4x-2
Subtract 4x to both sides: -2=-2
Add 2 to both sides: 0=0
All real numbers

Find the exterior angle
Answer:
x = 128 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that a triangle's interior angles should add up to 180 degrees.
We also know that when a triangle has that little square in a corner, that corner is equal to 90 degrees.
With these clues, we can figure out that the last interior angle is equal to:
180 - (38+90) = 52, however this isn't the answer we are looking for.
We also know that a straight line is 180 degrees. Therefore, to find the exterior angle we just subtract the interior angle from 180 degrees:
180 - 52 = 128
x = 128
What is the remainder R?
What is remainder R when the polynomial p(x) is divided by (2x - 1)? is (2x - 1) factor of p(x)?
p(x) = 2x² + 3x + 1
Answer :
R = 3
and (2x - 1) not factor of p(x) because, if (2x - 1) factor of p(x) remainder R when the polynomial p(x) divided by (2x - 1) is R = 0
∴ so the answer is option A

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -5) and has a slope of -3/2?
Answer:
y=3/2x+3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
point at (-6,-5)
slope = m = 3/2
y = mx+b
(-6)=(3/2)(-5)+b >>> substituting x & y to solve for b
-6 = (-15/2)+b >>> simplify previous equation
-6 + (15/2) = b >>> isolate and solve for m
3/2 = b
therefore, the equation of the line passing through the point (-6,-5) with a slope of 3/2 is y=(3/2)x+(3/2)
Which of the following shows 24.459 correctly rounded to the hundredths place?
Answer:
24.46
Step-by-step explanation:
The hundredths place is two places after the decimal. Since the thousandth place is a 9 this would round up the hundredths place to 6.

Answer: The equation has infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
With George's end result of 3=3, you can assume that the equation is set up in such a way that no matter what you plug in, you will get the same number on both sides of the equals sign, which means the solution is valid. Therefore this means that there are an infinite number of solutions.

3 4. What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 1) and (8,5)?
Answer: 2/5
Explanation: Ask if you want an explanation!
The question gives us two points, (-2, 1) and (8,5), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
Finding the Slope
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (5 - 1) ÷ (8 - (-2))
= ⁴/₁₀
= ²/₅
Checking my answer:
We can check to see if the answer is correct by drawing the line and seeing if it passes through both points. If it does, then the slope is correct.
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:
⇒ y - 1 = ²/₅ (x + 2)
In the graph below (created using Desmos), the line passes through both points. This suggests that we calculated the slope correctly.
