Each number is multiplied by 3. 3x3=9, 9x3=27, and so forth. the answer is logically 243

Each one was multiplied by 3
so 3 * 3 is 9
and 9 * 3 is 27
and 27 * 3 is 81
so 81 * 3 would be 243

Solve The Equation 4x×9y=7 4x-9y=9

hoa [83]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{9}{8}-\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8},\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}}\\or\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2},\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x\times9y=7&(1)\\4x-9y=9&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\4x-9y=9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4x\ \text{from both sides}\\-9y=-4x+9\qquad\text{change the signs}\\9y=4x-9\qquad\text{substitute it to (1)}\\\\4x(4x-9)=7\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\(4x)(4x)+(4x)(-9)=7\\(4x)^2-36x=7\\(4x)^2-2(4x)(4.5)=7\qquad\text{add}\ 4.5^2\ \text{to both sides}\\(4x)^2-2(4x)(4.5)+4.5^2=7+4.5^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$(4x-4.5)^2=7+20.25\\(4x-4.5)=27.25\to 4x-4.5=\pm\sqrt{27.25}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{2725}{100}}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{2725}}{\sqrt{100}}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{25\cdot109}}{10}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{109}}{10}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{5\sqrt{109}}{10}\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{45}{10}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\4x=\dfrac{45}{10}\pm\dfrac{5\sqrt{109}}{10}$

$4x=\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{8}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8}\\\\\text{Put the values of}\ x\ \text{to (2):}\\\\9y=4\left(\dfrac{9}{8}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8}\right)-9\\\\9y=\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}-\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\9y=-\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}$

A rectangular garden measures 40 yards by 35 yards. a lawn of uniform width surrounds the garden and has an area of 316 square y

timofeeve [1]

The lawn area of uniform width can be written as follows:
A = (40 + 2x) * (35 + 2x) - (40) * (35)
Where,
x: width of the lawn
Substituting the value of the area we have:
316 = (40 + 2x) * (35 + 2x) - (40) * (35)
Rewriting:
316 = 1400 + 80x + 70x + 4x ^ 2 - 1400
Rewriting we have:
4x ^ 2 + 150x - 316 = 0
Solving the polynomial we have:
x1 = - 79/2
x2 = 2
Taking the positive root we have that the grass width des:
x = 2 yards
Answer:
The width of the lawn that surrounds the garden is:
x = 2 yards

A quality control expert at LIFE batteries wants to test their new batteries. The design engineer claims they have a variance of

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes (in a sample of 75 batteries) is $\\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2) = 0.3156$

Step-by-step explanation:

The main thing we have to take into account in this question is that we are about to find the probability of a sample mean. The distribution for sample means follows a normal distribution with mean $\\ \mu$ and standard deviation $\\ \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ . Mathematically

$\\ \overline{x} \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

For values of the sample $\\ n \ge 30$ , no matter the distribution the data come from.

And the variable z follows a standard normal distribution, and, as we can remember, this distribution has a mean = 0 and a standard deviation = 1. Mathematically

$\\ z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ [1]

That is

$\\ z \sim N(0, 1)$

We have a variance of 3364. That is, a standard deviation of

$\\ \sigma^2 = 3364; \sigma = \sqrt{3364} = 58$

The population mean is

$\\ \mu = 530$

The sample size is $\\ n = 75$

The sample mean is $\\ \overline{x} = 533.2$

With all this information, we can solve the question

The probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes

Using equation [1]

$\\ z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$\\ z = \frac{533.2 - 530}{\frac{58}{\sqrt{75}}}$

$\\ z = \frac{3.2}{\frac{58}{8.66025}}$

$\\ z = \frac{3.2}{6.69726}$

$\\ z = 0.47780$

With this value of z we can consult a cumulative standard normal table (or use some statistic program) to find the cumulative probability for z (and remember that this variable follows a standard normal distribution).

Most standard normal tables have values for z for only two decimals, so we can round the previous value for z as z = 0.48.

Then

$\\ P(z$

However, in the question we are asked for $\\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2)$ . As well as all normal distributions, the standard normal distribution is symmetrical around the mean, and we have

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 1 - P(z$

Thus

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 1 - 0.68439$

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 0.31561$

Rounding to four decimal places, we have

$\\ P(z>0.48) = 0.3156$

So, the probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 533.2 minutes is (in a sample of 75 batteries) $\\ P(z>0.48) = P(x>533.2) = 0.3156$ .
