The function is shown to be positive throughout the whole range [-3, -2] in graph (B).

According to the question,

Four alternative graphs representing various functions are supplied to us; our task is to identify the function graph that is positive over the whole range [-3, -2]. A closed interval exists. Therefore, it includes both -3 and -2.The graph of the Y value must be in a positive area during this interval. Therefore, we must choose a function that is positive over the whole range [-3, -2].

Looking at the graph, we can see that the graph B has positive y-values in the range [-3, -2].

Hence The function is shown to be positive throughout the whole range [-3, -2] in graph (B).

Plot the foci of the hyperbola represented by the equation x^2/625 − y^2/3600 =1 100pts

Answers

The attached image represents the foci of the hyperbola

How to determine the foci?

The equation of the hyperbola is given as:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{625} - \frac{y^2}{3600} = 1[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{25^2} - \frac{y^2}{60^2} = 1[/tex]

A hyperbola is represented as:

[tex]\frac{(x - h)^2}{b^2} - \frac{(y - k)^2}{a^2} = 1[/tex]

This means that:

h = 0

k = 0

b = 25

a = 60

Next, calculate c the distance from the center to the focus using:

[tex]c = \sqrt{a^2 -b^2}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]c = \sqrt{60^2 -25^2}[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]c = \pm \sqrt{2975}[/tex]

This means that:

Carolyn bought two brands of socks. She bought a total of 5 pairs. One brand cost $2 each and the other brand cost $3 each. She spent $13. Find the number of pairs each brand of socks she bought

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Declaration

Let Brand A number of 2.00 socks= x

Let Brand B number of 3.00 socks = y

Equations

Number of socks : x + y = 5

Cost of socks: 2x + 3y = 13

Solution

Multiply top equation by 2

2(x+ y = 5)

2x + 2y = 10

Write the new equation under the cost of socks equation

2x + 3y = 13

2x + 2y = 10       Subtract.

y = 3

She spent 3 dollars on 1 pair of socks.

Now she needs to calculate the number of 2.00 dollar socks

2x + 3y = 13

2x + 3*3 = 13                Combine the left

2x + 9 = 13                   Subtract 9 from both sides.

2x +9-9 = 13-9             Combine

2x = 4                          Divide by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

Answers

Answer:

The simplified form is -26x^2 + 56x -15

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the expression:

3x(-2x+7)-5(x-1)(4x-3)

Multiplying the terms outside the bracket with the terms inside the bracket.

=-6x^2+21x-5(x(4x-3) -1(4x-3))

= -6x^2+21x-5(4x^2-3x-4x+3)

= -6x^2+21x-5(4x^2-7x+3)

Now multiply -5 with the terms inside the bracket

= -6x^2+21x -20x^2 +35x -15

Now, Combining the like terms:

= -6x^2 -20x^2 +21x+35x -15

Adding the like terms

= -26x^2 + 56x -15

So, the simplified form is -26x^2 + 56x -15

-26^2+56x-15 yea that should be the answer

Mean is a measure of central tendency that is used to determine the average of a set of numbers.  

Mean = sum of the numbers / total number

Mean of set 1 = (29 + 31 + 27 + 33 + 30) / 5

= 150 / 5 = 30

Mean of set 1 = (33 + 31 + 26 + 31 + 29) / 5

Median is the measure of center of a dataset. It determines the value that is at the center of a dataset that is arranged in either ascending or descending order.

Set 1 arranged in ascending order : 27, 29, 30, 31, 33

Median of set 1 = 30

Set 2 arranged in ascending order : 26, 29, 31, 31, 33

( 0.004 ) ( 1 + 0.004 )​

Answers

The TVM solver is a tool found in graphing calculators, that solve Time Value of Money problems.

The group of values that will return the same value as the given expression is;

D. N = 24; I% = 3.6; PV =; PMT = -415; FV = 0; P/Y = 12; C/Y = 12; PMT :END

What is Present Value?

Present value (PV) formula finds application in finance to calculate the present day value of an amount that is received at a future date.

In the TVM solver, we have;

I = The annual percentage rate

N = n × t

t = The number of years

PV = Present value

PMT = Payment

P/Y = Number of payments per year = n

C/Y = Number of compounding periods per year = n

The formula for monthly payment is presented as follows;

[tex]P = \frac{M[(1+r/n)^{nt} - 1]}{(r/n)(1+r/n)^{nt}}[/tex]

M = [tex]\frac{P.(r/n)(1+ r/n)^{nt} }{(1+ r/n)^{nt} - 1}[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

Where;

M = PMT = -415

P = PV

r = I

P/Y = n = 12

Therefore;

0.003 = I/12

I = 0.003 X 12 = 3.6%

N = n X t = 24

The value of the equation is the present value, PV = ?

When payment are made based on the PV, we have FV = 0

The group of values the same value as the expression

P = [tex]\frac{(415)[(1+0.003)^{24}-1]}{(0.003)(1+0.003)^{24}}[/tex]

when plugged into the TVM solver of a calculator is;

D. N = 24; I% = 3.6; PV =; PMT = -415; FV = 0; P/Y = 12; C/Y = 12; PMT :END
