Answers

Answer 2

Answer:

The intermediate step is determining what a is, knowing also that (x+a)²=x²+(2a)x+a².

Also, x²-16x= -68 (in the form (x+a)²=b) is (x-8)²=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-16x=-68

x²-16x+68=0

I suppose the intermediate step is finding (x+a)².

Remember that (x+a)²=x²+(2a)x+a², so 'a' will be half the coefficient of x (number beside x, not x²). The coefficient of x here is -16, so a is -8.

(x-8)²=x²-16x+64

So, if we can create 'x²-16x+64' out of 'x²-16x+68', we'll be on our way:

x²-16x+68=0

(x²-16x+64)+4=0

(x-8)²+4=0

(x-8)²=-4

Gordon is trying to save up $2000 for a new saxophone he makes 12.50 per hour at his job at the coffee shop but he needs to set aside half of his hourly wage to pay his regular bills How many 40-hour weeks will he need to work before he can afford the saxophone?

A. 320 Weeks
B. 40 Weeks
C. 8 Weeks
D. 6.25 Weeks

Answers

Answer:

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks.

Explanation:

since gordon has to set aside half of his wage to pay his bills, he can only save $12.50 ÷ 2 = $6.25 for the saxophone.

we can find how much money gordon saves from a 40-hour week by multiplying this by 40: $6.25 × 40 = $250.

now, divide the total amount of money he has to save by the amount he saves each week: $2000 ÷ $250 = 8.

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks before he can afford the saxophone.

Ivy deposited some money into a savings account that earns 1%
annual simple interest. At the end of 5 years, she earned $32.50 in
interest. How much money did she put into the account initially?
Round to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

Ivy initially put $ 650 in the account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ivy deposited some money into a savings account that earns 1% annual simple interest, and at the end of 5 years, she earned $ 32.50 in interest, to determine how much money did she put into the account initially, the following calculation must be performed:

32.50 / 5 = 6.5

1 = 6.5

100 = X

100 x 6.5 = X

650 = X

Therefore, Ivy initially put $ 650 in the account.

the number of minutes she is on the phone. In all, how many phone calls does Shivani have
to route to spend a total of 93 minutes on the phone?

Answers

The only way i can think of working out this question is this:

t = time p = phone calls

insert what we know:-

93 = p + 50

make P on its own:-

take away 50 from each side

43 = p

switch (you don’t HAVE to do this) :-

p = 43

So, shivani has to route a total of 43 phone calls to spend a total of 93 minutes on the phone.

If the probability of winning a slot machine is 5% and you are going to play 500 pulls. Using a normal approximation. What’s the probability that you win less than 40?

Answers

Answer:

0.9986 = 99.86% probability that you win less than 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

The probability of winning a slot machine is 5% and you are going to play 500 pulls.

This means that [tex]p = 0.05, n = 500[/tex]

Mean and Standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 500*0.05 = 25[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{500*0.05*0.95} = 4.8734[/tex]

What’s the probability that you win less than 40?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X < 40 - 0.5) = P(X < 39.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 39.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{39.5 - 25}{4.8734}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.98[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.98[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9986

0.9986 = 99.86% probability that you win less than 40
