The sum of two numbers is 36 and the difference is 12. What are the numbers?

The function for the given graph is f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 2)(x + 4).

In the given graph,

The points that lie on the x-axis are (-4, 0), (-2, 0), and (4, 0) where y-coordinate is 0 and the x coordinates are -4, -2, and 4.

On solving the given functions,

Option A:

f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 2)(x + 4)

Since y = 0 consider f(x) becomes 0

So,

(x - 4)(x + 2)(x + 4) = 0

According to the zero product rule,

x - 4 = 0, x + 2 = 0, and x + 4 = 0

⇒ x = 4, x = -2 and x = -4.

Thus, option A represents the function of the given graph.

CN tower = height/shadow

= x/123.3

solve for x:

;[tex]\frac{0.9}{0.2} = \frac{x}{123.3} \\\\0.2(x) = (0.9)(123.3)\\0.2x = 110.97\\(\frac{10}{2} )\frac{2}{10}x = 110.97(\frac{10}{2})\\ x = 554.85[/tex]

They are all in meters, so we don't need to convert anything so rounded to the nearest meter, the answer is 555 meters

Answer: 555 m

Step-by-step explanation:

       We will set up a proportion to solve.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\text{vertical side}}{\text{horizontal side}} \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\frac{0.9\;m}{0.2\;m} =\frac{x\;m}{123.3 \;m}[/tex]

    Now we will cross multiply.

0.9 * 123.3 = 0.2 * x

110.97 = 0.2x

554.85 = x

x = 554.85

Answer:

2625 different numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of problem is classified as a "Combinatorics" problem:  Counting up the number of ways something can happen.

Many times when attempting to count a large number of items, patterns are recognized and shortcuts to count are developed so that one doesn't need to physically count all of the items.  Perhaps the trickiest part of counting with these shortcuts is to ensure that one does not over-count (counting a scenario more than once), although it is equally important that we don't under-count (fail to count a situation that applies).

It should be noted that for a number to be a 4 digit number, it must have 4 digits, and thus the first digit must not be zero (despite that that would be an even digit, the number itself would not be a 4 digit number).

There are 2 main scenarios:

1.  All 4 digits are even

2. Exactly 3 digits are even (meaning that exactly one digit is odd).

There are two sub-cases to Scenario 2:

2.1. The first digit is odd, and all three of the other digits are even.

2.2. The first digit is even, and exactly two of the other digits are even (meaning that exactly one of the last three digits is odd).

None of scenarios 1, 2.1, and 2.2 overlap, so we're not over-counting:  

Further, this is all of the possibilities for a 4 digit number with least three even digits, so we're not under-counting.

Scenario 1 -- All 4 digits are even.

If all 4 digits are even, then the first digit has fours choices (2,4,6,8), and the next 3 digits each have 5 choices (2,4,6,8,0).

[tex]4*5*5*5=500\text{ choices}[/tex]

Scenario 2.1 -- The first digit is odd, and all three of the other digits are even

If the first digit is odd, there are 5 choices for the first digit (1,3,5,7,9), and the next 3 digits each have 5 choices (2,4,6,8,0).

[tex]5*5*5*5=625\text{ choices}[/tex]

Scenario 2.2 -- The first digit is even, and exactly two of the other digits are even

If the first digit is even, there are 4 choices for the first digit (2,4,6,8), and if exactly two of the next 3 digits are even, then there are 5 choices for each of the two even digits (2,4,6,8,0), and 5 choices for the odd digit (1,3,5,7,9), and there are "3 permuted by 2" ways of ordering those three digits.

[tex]4* \left [(5*5*5) * {}_3 \! P_2 \right ]=\\\\=4*\left [5*5*5 * \dfrac{3!}{2!} \right ]\\\\=4*\left [ 5*5*5 * \dfrac{3*2*1}{2*1} \right ] \\\\=4*\left [5*5*5 * 3 \right ] \\\\=1500\text{ choices}[/tex]

Scenario 2.2 broken down (calculated without using the permutation operation) -- The first digit is even, and exactly two of the other digits are even

Then either the second digit is odd (scenario 2.2.1), the third digit is odd (scenario 2.2.2), or the fourth digit is odd (scenario 2.2.3).

Scenario 2.2.1.  The second digit is odd.

The first digit is even: 4 choices for the first digit (2,4,6,8)

The second digit is odd:  5 choices for the odd digit (1,3,5,7,9)

The third and fourth digits are even: 5 choices for each even digit (2,4,6,8,0).

[tex]4*5*5*5=500\text{ choices}[/tex]

Scenario 2.2.2.  The third digit is odd.

The first digit is even: 4 choices for the first digit (2,4,6,8)

The second and fourth digits are even:  5 choices for each even digit (2,4,6,8,0).

The third digit is odd:  5 choices for the odd digit (1,3,5,7,9)

[tex]4*5*5*5=500\text{ choices}[/tex]

Scenario 2.2.3.  The last digit is odd.

The first digit is even: 4 choices for the first digit (2,4,6,8)

The second and third digits are even:  5 choices for each even digit (2,4,6,8,0).

The last digit is odd:  5 choices for the odd digit (1,3,5,7,9)

[tex]4*5*5*5=500\text{ choices}[/tex]

Scenarios 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.2.3 comprise all of Scenario 2.2, so [tex]500+500+500=1500\text{ choices}[/tex]

How many ways can a 4 digit number be formed where at least 4 of the digits are even?

This is the sum of the choices from Scenario 1, Scenario 2.1, and Scenario 2.2, so    [tex]500+625+1500=2625\text{ choices}[/tex].

The tripling time of population is 6 days and the population will be doubled in 3.5 days.

Given that the population of a bacteria is tripling in 6 days.

We have to find the tripling time of population and the time when the population will be doubled.

Suppose the population of bacteria in beginning be x.

The population of bacteria seems like arithmetic progression in which a =x, nth term =3x and n=6.

Aritmetic progression is a sequence which is having common difference.

nth term=a+(n-1)d

3x=x+(6-1)*d

3x-x=5d

2x=5d

d=2x/5

d=0.4x

So now we have to find the value of n where population will be 2x.

nth term=a+(n-1)d

put nth term=2x,  a=x,d=0.4x

2x=x+(n-1)*0.4x

2x-x=(n-1)*0.4x

x/0.4x=n-1

2.5=n-1

n=2.5+1

n=3.5

Hence the population of bacteria willbe doubled after 3.5 days.

the opposite rectangular faces are congruent , then

SA = front/ back + sides + top/ bottom

     = 2(14 × 14) + 2(6 × 14) + 2(14 × 6)

     = 2 × 196 + 2 × 84 + 2 × 84

     = 392 + 168 + 168

     = 728 cm²

The system of linear equations can be used to find the number of nickels, n, and the number of quarters, q, yolanda used is n + q = 28

n + q = 280.05n + 0.25q = 4

n + q = 28

0.05n + 0.25q = 4

n = 28 - q

0.05n + 0.25q = 4

0.05(28 - q) + 0.25q = 4

1.4 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 4

- 0.05q + 0.25q = 4 - 1.4

0.20q = 2.6

q = 2.6 / 0.20

q = 13

[tex]\frac{FH}{RX} =\frac{HG}{XS} =\frac{FG}{RS}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the letters matters in any similarity theorem.

When triangle FHG is similar to triangle RXS, the lengths of FH must be similar to RX.

When 2 similar lines are divided, that number is the factor by which one triangle can be dilated to match the other.

That being said, each of these proportion statements can be read as individual division expressions that equal the next division expression.

This means [tex]FH\div RX = HG\div XS = FG\div RS[/tex].

If you look at it this way, you can see that the sides you need to fill in must be the corresponding similar sides, so that you end up with the factor for the dilation of the 2 triangles.

Answer:

width = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

let width be w then length is w + 12

the perimeter ( P) is calculated as

P = 2( width + length )

here P = 60 , then

2(w + w + 12) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

2w + 12 = 30 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

2w = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

w = 9

that is the width of the rectangle is 9 inches

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

In a set with mean  and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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.

In this question, we have that:

Since beta is in the first quadrant, the final answer will be positive.

To find cos(beta) so we can use the half angle identity, we can substitute into the Pythagorean identity. Doing so gives us that

[tex] \sin( \beta ) = \frac{ \sqrt{17} }{5} [/tex]

So, this means that

[tex] \sin( \frac{ \beta }{2} ) = \sqrt{ \frac{1 - \frac{ \sqrt{17} }{2} }{2} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2 - \sqrt{17} }{4} } = \frac{ \sqrt{2 - \sqrt{17} } }{2} [/tex]
