This is an odd problem. The length and width look like they should be interchanged. Anyway I'll solve it and we'll talk about the results.
(x +7) (x + 3) = 396
x^2 + 7x + 3x + 21 = 396
x^2 + 10x + 21 = 396 Subtract 21 from both sides.
x^2 + 10x = 396 - 21
x^2 + 10x = 375
x^2 + 10x - 375 = 0 This probably factors.
(x + 25)(x - 15)
x + 25 = 0
x = - 25 which makes no sense. Negatives do not describe room dimensions.
x - 15= 0
x = 15. this is fine.

x+3 = 15 + 3 = 18
x + 7 = 15 + 7= 22

Check
=====
Area = L * W = 18 * 22 = 496. It does check.
22 should be the length

18 should be the width.

Miranda’s financial aid stipulates that her tuition not exceed $1200. If her college charges a $90 registration fee for the term
Arlecino [84]

Answer: the greatest number of courses for which miranda can register is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of courses for which Miranda can register.

If her college charges a $90 registration fee for the term plus $475 per course, it means that the total amount that the college charges for x courses would be

475x + 90

Miranda’s financial aid stipulates that her tuition not exceed $1200(it must be at most $1200). This means that

475x + 90 ≤ 1200

475x ≤ 1200 - 90

475x ≤ 1110

x ≤ 1110/475

x ≤ 2.34

The lifetime of a battery in a certain application is normally distributed with mean μ = 16 hours and standard deviation σ = 2 h
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Probability that a battery will last more than 19 hours is 0.0668.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the lifetime of a battery in a certain application is normally distributed with mean μ = 16 hours and standard deviation σ = 2 hours.

<em>Let X = lifetime of a battery in a certain application</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=16,\sigma^{2} =2^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

               Z = \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean lifetime = 16 hours

            \sigma = standard deviation = 2 hours

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, the probability that a battery will last more than 19 hours is given by = P(X > 19 hours)

  P(X > 19) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{19-16}{2} ) = P(Z > 1.50) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.50)

                                              = 1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.50 in the z table which has an area of 0.9332.</em>

Hence, the probability that a battery will last more than 19 hours is 0.0668.
