Amy is solving the equation using the steps shown.



Which could be the correct next step in solving the equation?


Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to yield (x 2 – 16) = 0.
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to yield (, x , 2, – 16) = 0.

Multiply (x 2 – 16)(x + 2) on the left side of the equation to yield x 3 + 2x 2 – 16x – 32 = 0.
Multiply (, x , 2, – 16)(, x, + 2) on the left side of the equation to yield , x, , 3, + 2, x, , 2, – 16, x, – 32 = 0.

Factor (x 2 – 16) on the left side of the equation to yield (x + 4)(x – 4)(x + 2) = 0.
Factor (, x , 2, – 16) on the left side of the equation to yield (, x, + 4)(, x, – 4)(, x, + 2) = 0.

Add 16 to both sides of the equation to yield x 2(x + 2) = 0.
Add 16 to both sides of the equation to yield , x , 2, (, x, + 2) = 0.

Answers

Answer 1

The correct next step Amy could take is to factor (x^2 - 16) on the left side of the equation to yield (x + 4)(x – 4)(x + 2) = 0.

The equation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) = 0}[/tex]

The possible next steps are:

1. Expand the equation as follows

[tex]\mathbf{x^3+2x^2-16x-32 = 0}[/tex]

2. Express x^2 -16 as a difference of two squares as follows

[tex]\mathbf{(x + 4)(x- 4)(x + 2) = 0}[/tex]

However, the correct step in this case is to factor x^2 - 16 as a difference of two squares to give [tex]\mathbf{(x + 4)(x- 4)(x + 2) = 0}[/tex]

This is so, because the question says Amy is trying to solve for variable x.

This step will ensure that she gets the possible values of x, unlike expanding the whole equation .

Hence, the correct next step is [tex]\mathbf{(x + 4)(x- 4)(x + 2) = 0}[/tex]

A machine takes 15 minutes to scan 1,125 pages. At this rate, how many pages can the machine in a hour?

Answers

Answer:

4500 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

an hour has 60 minutes. This means in 1 hour the machine will scan 60/15 more pages. 60/15 =4.

1125*4 =4500 pages/hour

In one hour the machine will scan 4500 pages.

What are algebraic expressions?In mathematics, an expression or mathematical expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context.Mathematical symbols can designate numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping to help determine order of operations and other aspects of logical syntax.

Given is that a machine takes 15 minutes to scan 1,125 pages.

The machine takes 15 minutes to scan 1,125 pages.

Then, in 1 minute, it will scan (1125/15) = 75 pages.

So, in 1 hour, it will scan -

x = 75 x 60

x = 4500

Therefore, in one hour the machine will scan 4500 pages.

Answers

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event

The probability of event B is 0.62

The probabilities are given as:

[tex]\mathbf{P(A) = 0.48}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(A\ and\ B) = 0.21}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(A\ or\ B) = 0.89}[/tex]

To calculate the probability of event B, we make use of the following formula

[tex]\mathbf{P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ or\ B)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0.21 = 0.48 + P(B) - 0.89}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{P(B)= -0.48 +0.21 + 0.89}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(B)= 0.62}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of event B is 0.62
