Answer:

step 1. Halve everything

x^2+ 4x - 0.5 = 0

step 2. Halve the coefficient of x so you can write down an equivalent for x² + 4 (that is, (x + 2)^2 - 4 )

(x + 2)² - 4.5 = 0

step 3. Isolate the squared term:

(x + 2)^2 = 4.5

step 4. Take square roots of both sides, recognising that a square root can be positive or negative:

x + 2 = ±√4.5

step 5. Make x explicitly

x = -2 ±√4.5

And there you are with two solutions.

Every confidence interval has associated z value. As confidence interval increases so do the z value associated with it.
The confidence interval can be calculated using following formula:
$\overline{x} \pm \frac{zs}{\sqrt n}$
Where $\overline{x}$ is the mean value, z is the associated z value, s is the standard deviation and n is the number of samples.
We know that standard deviation is simply a square root of variance:
$s=\sqrt{315900.20}=\$562.05$
The confidence interval of 95% has associated z value of <span>1.960.
</span>Now we can calculate the confidence interval for our income:
$3472.00\pm \frac{1.960\cdot 562.05}{\sqrt{60}}\\ \$3472.00\pm142.22$

Leena knits 10 rows in 12 min. At this pace, how long will it take her to knit the next 25 rows?

tatiyna

For 10 rows, she takes = 12 min.
So, for 1 row, she'll take = 12/10

Now, for 15 rows, it would be: 12/10 * 25 = 12/2 * 5 = 60/2 = 30

So, Your Final Answer would be 30 minutes

Hope this helps!

A grocer wants to mix a type of spice which costs £22 per kilogram with another type

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = 22 / kg, and b = 12 / kg

a + b = 20 kg

22a + 12b = 15 * 20

12a + 12b = 240

10a = 60

Which equation does the graph represent?

Art [367]

Answer:

It is the second answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an ellipse is

x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 or x^2/b^2 + y^2/a^2 = 1

If the x is the main axis we use the first form. If the y is the main axis we use the second form. We will use the second form.

our a is 3 and our b is 4

x^2/3^2 + y^2/4^2
