The two numbers are 2 and 4 "or" -2 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

The ratio of two numbers is 1 to 2
The sum of their squares is 20

We need to find the numbers

Assume that the smaller number is x

∵ The ratio between the two numbers is 1 : 2

∵ The smaller one is x

By using the ratio method

→ 1st : 2nd

→ 1 : 2

→ x : ?

By using cross multiplication

∴ 1 × ? = x × 2

∴ ? = 2x

∴ The 2nd number is 2x

∵ The sum of their squares = 20

∵ Square x = x × x = x²

∵ Square (2x) = 2x × 2x = 4x²

∴ The sum of their squares = x² + 4x² = 5x²

- Equate the sum of their squares by 20

∴ 5x² = 20

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x² = 4

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = ± 2

∴ The smaller number is 2 OR -2

∵ The larger number is 2x

∴ 2x = 2(±2) = ± 4

∴ The larger number is 4 OR -4

The two numbers are 2 and 4 "or" -2 and -4

How many times does the graph of 4x = 32 - x2 cross the x-axis? 0 1 2

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x = 32 - x2 would be much clearer if written as 4x = 32 - x^2. Please use

" ^ " to indicate exponentiation.

Rewrite 4x = 32 - x^2 in the standard form of a quadratic: x^2 + 4x - 32

Then the coefficients are a = 1, b = 4 and c = -32.

Find the discriminant. It is b^2-4ac.

Here, b^2-4ac = 4^2 - 4(1)(-32), or 16 + 128, or 144.

Because the discriminant is positive, we know immediately that this quadratic has two real, unequal roots.

So, the answer to this question is "the graph of 4x = 32 - x^2 cross the x-axis in two places."

Answer:

8(6-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both 48 and 8 can be divisible by 8.

48 ÷ 8 = 6

8 ÷ 8 = 1

Therefore you get the answer 8(6-x)

as the simplest form.

Researchers measured the bone mineral desnsity of the spines of 94 women who had taken teh drug CEE. The mean was 1.016 g/cm2, a

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is between 0.985g/cm² and 1.047 g/cm².

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:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

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

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find 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.

$M = 1.96*\frac{0.155}{\sqrt{94}} = 0.0310$

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.016 - 0.0310 = 0.985 g/cm²

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 1.016 + 0.0310 = 1.047 g/cm²

The 95% confidence interval for the mean is between 0.985g/cm² and 1.047 g/cm².

Whats the distance between (8,-3) and (4,-7)

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

d=5.656854

Step-by-step explanation:

d=√ ( 4 − 8 ) 2 + (− 7 − (− 3 ) ) 2

d=√ ( − 4 ) 2 + ( − 4 ) 2

d= √ 16 + 16

d= √32

d=5.656854
