Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x \approx 1.16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

To find the values of m and n, we have to first expand  [tex](x + m)^2 + n[/tex] :

[tex](x + m)^2 + n[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x^2 + 2mx + m^2 + n[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 6[/tex]

Now  compare the coefficients of the x-terms:

• [tex]2mx = 4x[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\bf m = 2[/tex]

• [tex]m^2 + n = -6[/tex]

⇒  [tex]2^2 + n = -6[/tex]

⇒ [tex]n = -10[/tex]

b.

[tex]x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0[/tex]

∴ [tex](x + 2)^2 - 10 = 0[/tex]

⇒ [tex](x + 2)^2 = 10[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x + 2 = \sqrt{10}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = \sqrt{10} -2[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x \approx 1.16[/tex]

Before you read this!! To me, it looks like 8 is the entire length of lineJL, but it may only be the length of lineJM. I've written the steps for lineJL=8 NOT lineJM=8. If this is not the case and 8 is only the length of lineJM let me know so I can fix my answer!

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is A=1/2(b)(h)

B=base

H=height

Your height is found in the line in the middle of the triangle, for you it is 6.

The base is the long bottom line on the triangle (lineJL), for you it is 8.

So let's put it in.

A=1/2(8)(6)

Part B: What value of x makes the equation true? (4 points)

Amd please show the work.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute the first equation

8(2x) - 8(14) +13 = 4x -27

16x - 112 +13 = 4x -27

then combine like terms

16x - 99 = 4x -27

subtract 4x from both sides

12x - 99 = -27

add 99 to both sides

12x = 72

divide both sides 12 to isolate the x

x = 72/12 = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

..........................

A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time. Suppose that in February 2012, a sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. In February 2010, a sample of 1,100 adults showed 385 indicating that their financial security was more than fair.

Required:
a. State the hypothesis that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years?
b. What is the sample proportion indicating that their financial security was more that fair in 2012?In 2010?
c. Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value.At a .05 level of significance what is your conclusion?
d. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportion?

Answers

Answer:

The calculated z = 2.85 falls in the critical region z > 1.96 so we accept the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the population proportions for the two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p1 be the sample of 1000 adults chosen in 2012 and

p2 be the sample of 1100 adults chosen in 2010

Part a:

The hypothesis that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years is:

H0: p1-p2= 0           against the claim      Ha: p1-p2≠0

Part b:

The sample proportion indicating that their financial security was more that fair in 2012 is

p1^= 410/1000= 0.41

In 2010 is:

p2^= 385/1100= 0.35

Part c:

p^c= 410+385/1000+1100= 0.3785

q^c= 1-p^c= 1-0.3785= 0.6124

The critical region is z > ±1.96

The test statistic is

z= p1^- p2^ / sqrt ( p^cq^c( 1/n1+ 1/n2)

z= 0.41-0.35 /sqrt( 0.3785*0.6124(1/1000 +1/1100)

z=  0.06 / 0.021036

z= 2.85

Conclusion

The calculated z = 2.85 falls in the critical region z > 1.96 so we accept the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the population proportions for the two years.

P- value :  0.00466

The result is significant( accept the null hypothesis) for  value less than 0.05

Part d:

                                                     2012                         2010

                                               = 0.0155                0.01438

Standard Error for the difference = √0.0155² + 0.01438² =0.0211

p1-p2 ± z* standard error for the difference

0.41-0.35 ± 1.96 *( 0.0211)

0.06 ± 0.041356

Answer:

-2 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark the first number as x

and the second number as y

Since x + y = 4

y = 4 - x

// substitute the given value of y into the equation

[tex]x^{2} + y^{2}[/tex] - 3xy = 76

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + [tex](4-x)^{2}[/tex] - 3 * x * (4 - x) = 76

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  + 16 - 8x + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]  - 12x + 3[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 76

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]  + 3[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  - 20x = 76 - 16

5[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  - 20x = 60

5[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  - 20x - 60 = 0

// divide both sides by 5

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 4x - 12 = 0

// write -4 x as a difference, this way it is faster than calculating discriminant

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 2x - 6x - 12 = 0

// factor out x and -6 from the expression

x (x +2) - 6 (x +2) = 0

(x - 6) * (x + 2) = 0

// there are two possible cases

1) x - 6 = 0

2) x + 2 = 0

1) x = -2

2) x = 6

// substitute the given value of x into the equation

1) y = 4 - x = 4 - (-2) = 6

2) y = 4 - x = 4 - 6 = -2

Now we get two pairs (-2; 6) and (6; -2), which are the solutions to the system

Since their sequence as the question suggests is irrelevant, the numbers are -2 and 6

A marine biologist wants to estimate the average weight of a population of dolphins living in a certain region of the ocean. The biologist will collect a random sample of dolphins and use the sample weights to create the estimate Which of the following is an appropriate method for the biologist to use for inference to the population?
A A one-sample t-interval for a population mean
B A one-sample t-interval for a sample mean
C A one-sample 2-interval for a population proportion
D A matched-pairs t-interval for a mean difference
E A two-sample t-interval for a difference between means

Answers

Answer:

A A one-sample t-interval for a population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The biologist will collect a random sample of dolphins and use the sample weights to create the estimate.

In a confidence interval, we take the data from the sample and want to estimate it for the entire population, so the interval is for a population mean.

The standard deviation will be taken from the sample, which means that the t-interval is used.

We want for one population, so it is a one sample for the population mean, and the correct answer is given by option A.

Find the area of the regular polygon. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Given:

The figure of a regular polygon.

To find:

The area of the regular polygon.

Solution:

From the given figure it is clear that the regular polygon has 4 vertices. It means, it is a square.

Distance between the center and the vertex is 7 yd. So, the diagonal of the square is

[tex]d=7+7[/tex]

[tex]d=14[/tex] yd

We know that, area of a square is

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}d^2[/tex]

Putting d=14 in the above formula, we get

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}(14)^2[/tex]

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}(196)[/tex]

[tex]A=98[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the regular polygon is 98 sq. yd.
