Area = perimeter + 132.  

Let  each side of the city be x miles long, then:-

x^2 = 4x  + 132
x^2 - 4x - 132 = 0

x  =  [-(-4) +/- sqrt((-4)^2 - 4 * 1 *-132)] / 2

x = 13.66, -9.66   We ignore the negative

So the city  has dimension of 13.66 * 13.66

13.7 * 13.7   to nearest 10th

A circle is centered about the point (2, 0). The point (0, 1) is on the circle. Which statement proves that the point (4, 1) is
mestny [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the circle is at the origin and (0,4) is a point on the circle then the radius of the circle is:

r^2=0^2+4^2

r^2=16

r=4

so we can check that the other point is four units from the origin and thus also on the circle...

d^2=2^2+6^2

d^2=4+36

d^2=40

since d^2>r^2, (2,6) is outside the circle

The average fuel efficiency of U.S. light vehicles for 2005 was 21 mpg. If the standard deviation of the population was 2.9 and
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

1) The probability that the mean mpg for a random sample of 25 light vehicles is 0.042341.

2) between 20 and 25 --> 21-25/2.9 = -1.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem #1:

  • Using the z-score formula, z = (x-μ)/σ/n, where x is the raw score = 20 mpg,μ is the population mean = 21 mpg , σ is the population standard deviation = 2.9, n = random number of samples.
<h3><u>X < 20</u></h3>
  • = z = 20 - 21/2.9/√25
  • = z = -1/2.9/5
  • = z = -1.72414
<h2><u><em>Now</em></u></h2>

<em>P-value from Z-Table:</em>

<h3><u>P(x<20) = 0.042341</u></h3>

Problem #2:

<h3>21-25/2.9 = -1.38</h3>

How to solve this equation involving radicals.<br> 8x(x – 6)1/2 + 4(x – 6)3/2 = 0
Naya [18.7K]
8x(x - 6)1/2 + 4(x - 6)3/2 = 0
8x(x) - 8x(6)1/2 + 4(x) - 4(6)3/2 = 0
8x² - 48x(1/2) + 4x - 24(3/2) = 0
8x² - 24x + 4x - 36 = 0
8x² - 20x - 36 = 0
x = <u>-(-20) +/- √((-20²) - 4(8)(-36))</u>
                        2(8)
x = <u>20 +/- √(400 + 1152)</u>
                  16
x =<u> 20 +/- √1552</u>
             16
x = <u>20 +/- √(16 × 97)</u>
                16
x = <u>20 +/- √16 √97
</u>               16<u>
</u>x = <u>20 +/- 4 √97
</u>              16
x = <u>20 +/- 4(9.848857802)</u>
                     16
x = <u>20 +/- 39.39543121</u>
                    16
x = <u>20 + 39.39543121</u>        x = <u>20 - 39.39543121</u>
                  16                                        16
x = <u>59.39543121</u>                x = <u>-19.39543121</u>
              16                                         16
x = 3.71221445                  x = -1.212214451
