-Is x= 4 a solution of 2(x - 3) + 7 = 23? How do you know?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

        Simplify [tex]2(x-3)+7[/tex]

        Apply the distributive property.

[tex]2x - 6 + 7= 23[/tex]

[tex]2x+1=23[/tex]

         Move all terms not containing  x  to the right side of the equation.

         Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation.

[tex]2x =23-1[/tex]

[tex]2x=22[/tex]

          Divide each term by  2  and simplify

[tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{22}{2}[/tex]

          Cancel the common factor of  2

[tex]x = \frac{22}{2}[/tex]

          Divide 22 by 2

[tex]x = 11[/tex]

No 4 is not a solution of the equation becouse it would be an inproper solution

Answer 2
No... it’s not.

Let’s substitute x = 4 in a given equation

LHS = 2(x-3) + 7

= 2 (4-3) + 7 ( substituting x = 4)

= 2(1) + 7

= 2 + 7

= 9

RHS = 23

Here, as we can see by substituting x = 4, in the given equation, LHS ≠ RHS.

Hence, it’s not a correct solution

A wild animal generally stays at least x mi from the edge of a forest. For a rectangular forest preserve that is 2 mi
long and 5 mi wide, write a polynomial that represents the area of the available habitat for the wild animal.
(Note: diagram not drawn to scale)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

See Attachment for Complete Question

Given

[tex]Width = 5mi[/tex] --- For the forest

[tex]Length = 2mi[/tex] -- --- For the forest

Required

Determine the area of the habitat

Since the distance between the animal's habitat is x mi on both sides;

The length and width of the habitat is:

[tex]Width = 5 - (x + x)[/tex]

[tex]Width = 5 - 2x[/tex]

[tex]Height = 2 - (x +x)[/tex]

[tex]Height = 2 - 2x[/tex]

The area is then calculated as follows;

[tex]Area = Width * Height[/tex]

[tex]Area = (5 - 2x) * (2 - 2x)[/tex]

Expand

[tex]Area = 5(2 - 2x) -2x(2 - 2x)[/tex]

Open Brackets

[tex]Area = 10 - 10x - 4x + 4x^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = 10 - 14x + 4x^2[/tex]

Reorder

[tex]Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10[/tex]

Hence; the required polynomial for the habitat area is:

[tex]Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10[/tex]

The answer is B. 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

From the problem state, we can actually conclude that Jamie wants to share the half sheet of cake among her 6 friends

step two:

we can express this problem mathematically as

[tex]=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{6} }[/tex]

we can inverse the denominator and use a multiplication sign instead

  7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage increase is found as ...

  increase/original × 100%

  = 2170/31000 × 100% = 7%

The department of transportation in a particular city knows from past records that 27% of workers in the downtown district use the subway system each day to commute to and from work. The department suspects that this proportion has increased owing to decreased parking spaces in the downtown district. A random sample of 130 workers in the downtown district showed that 49 used the subway daily. Test the claim at the 5% level of significance. What is the value of sample statistics

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the proportion has increased owing to decreased parking spaces in the downtown district.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the department of transportation in a particular city knows from past records that 27% of workers in the downtown district use the subway system each day to commute to and from work.

A random sample of 130 workers in the downtown district showed that 49 used the subway daily.

Let p = population proportion of workers in the downtown district use the subway system each day to commute to and from work.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]p \leq[/tex] 27%    {means that the proportion has decreased or remain equal owing to decreased parking spaces in the downtown district}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : p > 27%    {means that the proportion has increased owing to decreased parking spaces in the downtown district}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test statistics for proportions;

                           T.S.  = [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1- p)}{n} } }[/tex]  ~  N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample proportion of workers who used the subway daily = [tex]\frac{49}{130}[/tex] = 0.38

n = sample of workers = 130

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{0.38-0.27}{\sqrt{\frac{0.27(1-0.27)}{130} } }[/tex]

                                     =  2.825  

The value of z-test statistics is 2.825.

Now, at a 5% level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 2.825 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion has increased owing to decreased parking spaces in the downtown district.

The function f (x )equals 2.9 square root of x plus 20.1, models the median height, f(x), in inches, of boys who are x months of age and for girls the function is f (x )equals 3.1 square root of x plus 19. Use a calculator to find the median height for both a boy and a girl who is 24 months old. Repeat the process for a child 48 months old. The actual median height for boys 48 months old is 40.8 inches and 40.2 inches for girls 48 months old. Does the model overestimate or underestimate the actual median heights and by how much

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the models for the median height of biys and giels:

BOY:

f(x) = 2.9√x + 20.1

GIRL:

f(x) = 3.1√x + 19

If x = 24 months

BOY:

HEIGHT = 2.9√24 + 20.1

= 2.9× 4.8989794 + 20.1

= 14.207040 + 20.1

= 34.307 inches

GIRL:

HEIGHT = 3.1√24 + 19

= 3.1 × 4.8989794 + 19

= 15.186836 + 19

= 34.1868 inches

If x = 48

Boy:

HEIGHT = 2.9√48 + 20.1

= 2.9× 6.9282032 + 20.1

= 20.091789 + 20.1

= 40.19 inches

Actual median height = 40.8

Hence, model underestimates by (40.80 - 40.19) = 0.61 inches

Girl:

HEIGHT = 3.1√48 + 19

= 3.1 × 6.9282032 + 19

= 21.477430 + 19

= 40.48 inches

Actual median height = 40.20

Hence, model overestimates by (40.48 - 40.20) = 0.28 inches

The expression (8x + 4) inches represents the perimeter of a rectangle whose width is (3x − 4) inches. Find the length of the rectangle if x = 2.

Answers

Answer:

Length of the rectangle is 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2W

(8x+4) = 2L + 2(3x-4)  where x = 2

(8(2)+4) = 2L + 2(3(2)-4)

20 = 2L + 4

16 = 2L

8 = L

A textbook has 500 pages on which typographical errors could occur. Suppose that there are exactly 10 such errors randomly located on those pages. Find the probability that a random selection of 50 pages will contain no errors. Find the probability that 50 randomly selected pages will contain at least two errors.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of a  selection of 50 pages will contain no errors  is  0.368

The probability that the selection of the random pages will contain at least two errors is 0.2644

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

Let q represent the no of typographical errors.

Suppose that there are exactly 10 such errors randomly located on a textbook of 500 pages. Let [tex]\mu[/tex] be the random variable that follows a Poisson distribution, then mean [tex]\mu = \dfrac{10}{500}= 0.02[/tex]

and the mean that the random selection of 50 pages will contain no error is [tex]\lambda = 50 \times 0.02 =1[/tex]

[tex]Pr(q= 0) = \dfrac{e^{-1} (1)^0}{0!}[/tex]

Pr(q =0) = 0.368

The probability of a  selection of 50 pages will contain no errors  is  0.368

The probability that 50 randomly page contains at least 2 errors is computed as follows:

P(X ≥ 2) = 1 - P( X < 2)

P(X ≥ 2) = 1 - [ P(X = 0) + P (X =1 )]    since it is less than 2

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - [ \dfrac{e^{-1} 1^0}{0!} +\dfrac{e^{-1} 1^1}{1!} ][/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - [0.3678 +0.3678][/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 -0.7356[/tex]

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.2644

The probability that the selection of the random pages will contain at least two errors is 0.2644

The possibility of a random selection of 50 pages will contain at least two errors is [tex]0.264242[/tex].

To understand the calculations, check below

Probability:

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e., how likely they are to happen, using it.

Let [tex]X[/tex] denotes the number of errors on [tex]50[/tex] randomly selected pages.

[tex]X\sim Poisson(\frac{50}{500}\ast 10)[/tex] or [tex]X\sim Poisson(1)[/tex]

The probability mass function of [tex]X[/tex] is,

[tex]P\left ( X=x \right )=\frac{e^{-1}\ast 1^{x}}{x!}=0,1,2...[/tex]

Now,

The probability that a random selection of [tex]50[/tex] pages will contain no errors,

[tex]=P\left ( X=0 \right ) \\ =\frac{e^{1}\ast 1^{0}}{0!} \\ =0.367879[/tex]
