Answer:

a=-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property for left side, difference of squares for right side.

8a-9a^2=-40+36-9a^2

-9a^2 cancels out

8a=-4

a=-0.5

Which value of a would make the following expression completely factored?

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - a

If a is a perfect square we could factor

x^2 - b^2 = (x-b)(x+b)

So a cannot be 36,49,81 since they are perfect squares

a must be 12

Assume that the amount of beverage in a randomly selected 16-ounce beverage can has a normal distribution. Compute a 99% confide

ioda

Answer:

The question is incomplete, but the step-by-step procedures are given to solve the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.005 = 0.995$ , so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 2.575\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean amount of beverage in 16-ounce beverage cans is (lower end, upper end).

The sum of 1/6,2/3, and 1/4 is

Bumek [7]

¹³/₁₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = ? \ }$

A fraction represents part of a whole.
A fraction consists of a numerator and a denominator. i.e., $\boxed{ \ \frac{numerator}{denominator} \ }$ .
The numerator = the number of equal parts of a whole.
The denominator = the total number of parts that make up said whole.

From the problems above, the denominator or the bottom numbers are still different. We use the Least Common Multiple (or LCM) to equalize the denominator.

Multiples of 3: $\boxed{ \ \{3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ... \} \ }$
Multiples of 4: $\boxed{ \ \{4, 8, 12, 16, ... \} \ }$
Multiples of 6: $\boxed{ \ \{6, 12, 18, ... \} \ }$

Hence, the LCM for 3, 4, and 6 is 12.

We change the denominator for each fraction to 12.

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} \rightarrow \frac{multiply \ by \ 2}{multiply \ by \ 2} \rightarrow \frac{2}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \frac{2}{3} \rightarrow \frac{multiply \ by \ 4}{multiply \ by \ 4} \rightarrow \frac{8}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{4} \rightarrow \frac{multiply \ by \ 3}{multiply \ by \ 3} \rightarrow \frac{3}{12} \ }$

Then we continue adding fractions.

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{12} + \frac{8}{12} + \frac{3}{12} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \boxed{ \ \frac{13}{12} \ } \ }$

Thus, the result is $\boxed{ \ \frac{13}{12} \ or \ 1\frac{1}{12}\ }$

Find the least common denominator of the two fractions 3/4 over 1/6?

leva [86]

Answer:

(2/12 & 9/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is the least common denominator for the fractions, so they must be rewritten to have the same denominator, but hold the same value.
