The solution to the inequality is all the values of x that are either greater than 2 or less than -4. The required graph of inequality is given below.

In mathematics, an inequality is a statement that compares two values, often using the symbols "<" (less than), ">" (greater than), "<=" (less than or equal to), ">=" (greater than or equal to), or "≠" (not equal to).

Inequality graphs show the region of the coordinate plane that satisfies an inequality. The graph of inequality can be determined in a similar way to the graph of an equation, but with some additional steps.

Here we have

The inequality |2x + 2| > 6

To graph the solution to the inequality |2x + 2| > 6,

we can start by rewriting the inequality as two separate inequalities without the absolute value:

2x + 2 > 6 or 2x + 2 < -6

Simplifying these inequalities, we get:

2x > 4 or 2x < -8

x > 2 or x < -4

Therefore,

The solution to the inequality is all the values of x that are either greater than 2 or less than -4. The required graph of inequality is given below.

Answer:

a. The linear model that represents the height of the plant after d days can be expressed as:

h(d) = 1.5d + 5

where h(d) is the height of the plant in centimeters after d days, and 1.5d represents the growth rate of 1.5 cm per day multiplied by the number of days (d). The constant term 5 represents the initial height of the plant, which is 5 cm.

b. To find the height of the plant after 20 days, we can substitute d = 20 into the linear model:

h(20) = 1.5(20) + 5

= 30 + 5

= 35

So, the height of the plant after 20 days will be 35 cm.

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

starting from month 2, how many more months will A be as tall as B?

A grows at 1.75 in per month

B grows at 1.5in per month

so 7.5+1.75x = 11+1.5x

solve for x

x=14

so from month 2, need to go for another 14 mos.

so at month 16, they'll be same height

The leading coefficient of a third-degree function that has the output of -110 x=3 and has zeros of 14, I, -I is 10

If a third-degree function has zeros 14, I, and -I, it can be factored as: f(x) = a(x - 14)(x - I)(x + I)

'a' denotes the leading coefficient.

We may use the knowledge that the function's output is -110 when x = 3 to calculate the value of 'a'.

Substituting x = 3 into the function's factored form yields:

f(3) = a(3 - 14)(3 - I)(3 + I) = -110

When we simplify this equation, we get:

a(-11)(3 - I)(3 + I) = -110

a(-11)(9 - I^2) = -110

a(-11)(9 + 1) = -110 (since I2 = -1)

a(-11)(10) = -110

-110a = -1100

a = 10

Hence , the third-degree function's leading coefficient is 10.

Using percentage, the correct answer is "The value of P is $3,500 and it corresponds to 70% of her salary".

The denominator of a percentage, also known as a ratio or a fraction, is always 100. For instance, Sam would have received 30 points out of a possible 100 if he had received a 30% on his maths test. In ratio form, it is expressed as 30:100, and in fraction form, as 30/100. Here, "percent" or "percentage" is used to translate the percentage symbol "%." The percent symbol can always be changed to a fraction or decimal equivalent by using the phrase "divided by 100".

First, we need to calculate L.

1/3 or 33.33% of L spend on gift.

2/5 or 40% of L spent on savings.

This would leave her with $200 for miscellaneous expenses:

= 100% - (33.33% + 40%)

= 100% - 73.33%

= 26.67%

So, 26.67% = $200 for miscellaneous expenses

Rule of three, to calculate L.

26.67% is $200.

100% will be:

= (100 X 200) ÷ 26.67

= 20000 ÷ 26.67

= $750

L= $750

Now we going to calculate K.

"K is twice the amount of L".

K = L X 2

K = 750 X 2

K= $1,500

Finally, we going to calculate P.

P = J - K

J = $5,000

K = $1,500

P =$5,000 - $1500

= $3,500

Rule of three

5000 is 100%

3500 will be:

= 3500 x 100 ÷ 5000

= 350000 ÷ 5000

P = 70%

The value of P is $3,500 and it corresponds to 70% of her salary.

The amount the cashier charged is incorrect. Based on the given information, the amount of fruit purchased is 96 ounces, which is equivalent to 6 pounds. Therefore, the total cost of the fruit should be 6 pounds x $3 per pound = $18.

The error the cashier made was converting ounces to pounds incorrectly. 96 ounces is equivalent to 6 pounds, not 1,536 pounds. The cashier multiplied 96 by 16 (the number of ounces in a pound) instead of dividing by 16 to get the number of pounds.

The nearest kilometers to 999.09344471 km is 1000 km.

Given value is 999.09344471 Km.

We have to calculate the round off value to the nearest kilometers. we know that after the decimal if the value of tenth place is 5 or bigger than 5 then we add 1 to the tens place digit, this is the fundamental rule of rounding off.

Now on following this rule from the very right hand side up to the tenth place digit we come to the conclusion that only  the value after the decimal (934) is to be rounded off which is (900).

So 999.09344471 km is finally becomes 999.900 km after rounding of to nearest hundredth value.

Again rounding off 999.900 km to nearest km so it becomes 1000 km.

this is the total cost for the round trip, the answer is (C) 583.20.

what is round trip ?

A round trip refers to a journey from a starting point to a destination and then back to the starting point. In other words, it involves traveling to a place and then returning to the original location.

In the given question,

To calculate the cost of gasoline for the round trip, we need to first find the total amount of gasoline they will use. We can calculate this by dividing the distance of the trip by the RV's average gas mileage:

Total gasoline used = distance ÷ gas mileage

Total gasoline used = 1,701 miles ÷ 10.5 miles per gallon

Total gasoline used = 162 gallons (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Now, we can find the total cost of gasoline by multiplying the total amount of gasoline used by the average cost of a gallon of gasoline:

Total cost of gasoline = total gasoline used × cost per gallon

Total cost of gasoline = 162 gallons × 3.60 per gallon

Total cost of gasoline = 583.20

Since this is the total cost for the round trip, the answer is (C) 583.20.

Option B is correct because the tangent of angle a is greater than 1 when a is between 0 and pi/4. Option G is correct because the tangent of angle a is also greater than 1 when a is between 3pi/4 and pi.

When tan(a) > 1, this means that the tangent of angle a is greater than the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the opposite side in a right triangle. Since the adjacent and opposite sides of a unit circle have a length of 1, this means that the opposite side of angle a is less than 1.

To determine where angle a could be on the unit circle, we need to find the angles whose tangent is greater than 1. Since tangent is positive in the first and third quadrants, the angles we need to consider are in the first and third quadrants.

In the first quadrant, the angle whose tangent is 1 is pi/4, and the tangent increases as the angle increases. Therefore, angle a could be between 0 and pi/4 (option B).

In the third quadrant, the angle whose tangent is 1 is 5pi/4, and the tangent decreases as the angle increases. Therefore, angle a could also be between 3pi/4 and pi (option G).

Therefore, options B and G are correct, and angles a could be located in the regions described by these options on the unit circle.

We are given that Lines a and b are parallel and Lines e and f are parallel. Horizontal lines e and f are intersected by lines a and b.

At the intersection of lines a and e, the upper left angle is 82 degrees, and the bottom left angle is 98 degrees.

We need to find the value of x, which is the bottom right angle at the intersection of lines b and e. Here are the steps to solve the problem:

Since lines a and b are parallel, the angle at the top left of the intersection between b and f is also 98 degrees. This is because alternate interior angles are congruent.

We know that the angle at the top left of the intersection between a and e is 82 degrees.

Therefore, the angle at the bottom left of the intersection between f and b is

angle at the bottom left of the intersection between f and b = 180 - (82 + 98) = 0

This means that line f and line b are collinear, and therefore, they do not intersect.

Since line e intersects both lines a and b, the angle at the bottom right of the intersection between b and e is 180 degrees (a straight line).

Therefore, x = 180 - the angle at the bottom left of the intersection between b and e, which is 98 degrees.

The probability that a bus chosen at random has a working radio given that it is ready for service is approximately 85.3%

How to find the probability of a bus having a working radio given that it is ready for service?

We can use Bayes' theorem to find the probability of a bus having a working radio given that it is ready for service,

P(radio | ready) = P(ready | radio) * P(radio) / P(ready)

where

P(radio | ready) is the probability that a bus has a working radio given that it is ready for service.

P(ready | radio) is the probability that a bus is ready for service given that it has a working radio.

P(radio) is the probability that a bus has a working radio.

P(ready) is the probability that a bus is ready for service.

From the given information, we know that:

P(ready) = 0.84

P(radio | ready) = 0.67

To find P(ready | radio), we can use the formula:

P(ready | radio) = P(ready and radio) / P(radio)

From the given information, we know that:

P(ready and radio) = P(radio | ready) × P(ready) = 0.67 × 0.84 = 0.5628

To find P(radio), we can use the law of total probability:

P(radio) = P(radio | ready) × P(ready) + P(radio | not ready) × P(not ready)

We can assume that if a bus is not ready for service, it doesn't matter if it has a working radio or not. So we can simplify the equation to:

P(radio) = P(radio | ready) × P(ready) + P(radio | not ready) × (1 - P(ready))

From the given information, we know that:

P(radio | ready) = 0.67

P(ready) = 0.84

We don't have information about P(radio | not ready), but we can assume that it is lower than P(radio | ready) since a bus that is not ready for service is more likely to have a broken radio. Let's assume P(radio | not ready) = 0.3.

Then, we can calculate,

P(radio) = 0.67 × 0.84 + 0.3 × (1 - 0.84) = 0.6596

Now, we want to find P(radio | ready),

P(radio | ready) = P(ready | radio) × P(radio) / P(ready)

P(ready | radio) = P(ready and radio) / P(radio) = 0.5628 / 0.6596 = 0.853

The polynomial function of lowest degree with rational coefficients P(x) = x⁴ + 20x² - 125

A polynomial is a mathematical expression in which the power of the unknown is greater than or equal to 2.

To find a polynomial function of lowest degree with rational coefficients that has the given numbers as some of its zeros. √5,5i​.

Since √5 and 5i​ are zeros, then their conjugates -√5, and -5i​ are also zeros.

So,

So, the factors of the polynomial are

So, multiplying the factors together, we get the polynomial.

So, P(x) = (x  - √5)(x - 5i)(x + √5)(x + 5i)

= (x  - √5)(x  + √5)(x - 5i)(x + 5i)

= [x² - (√5)²][x² - (5i)²]

= [x² - 5][x² - (5²i²)]

= [x² - 5][x² - 25(-1))]

= [x² - 5][x² + 25]

Expanding the brackets, we have

= [x² - 5][x² + 25]
