Percy solved the equation by expanding the expression on the left-hand side, and this is incorrect

<h3>How to determine the true solution?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x^2 + 7x + 12 = 12

The first step in solving the equation is to equate the equation to 0.

i.e.

x^2 + 7x + 12 - 12 = 0

This given

x^2 + 7x = 0

From the question, Percy solved the equation by expanding the expression on the left-hand side

Hence, Percy's solution is incorrect

The area of a square bedroom is 144 square feet. what is the length of one wall?
Rufina [12.5K]
The answer is:  "12 feet" .
________________________________
Note:  In a square, the length of EACH of the four sides of the square is the same.

Area = Length * width. 

For a square, length = width.

So for a square, Area = length * width = (length of a side)² = s² ,

Given:  A = s² = 144 ft² ;

Solve for the positive value of "s" .
________________________________
  →  s² = 144 ft² ;  Take the "square root" of each side ;

  → √(s²) = √(144 ft²) ;

  →   s = 12 ft.
_______________________________
The answer is:  12 ft.

The two intervals (114.9, 115.7) and (114.6, 116.0) are confidence intervals (computed using the same sample data) for μ = true
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

115.3 hertz

Step-by-step explanation:

For either interval, the value of the sample mean is given by the average of the lower and upper bound of the confidence interval. Since both intervals were constructed by using the same sample, both values should be equal.

For the first interval:

M=\frac{114.9 + 115.7}{2} \\M=115.3\ hertz

For the second interval:

M=\frac{114.6 + 116.0}{2} \\M=115.3\ hertz
