Solve by completing the square:X^2+6x-12=0

1 answer:

5 0

X² + 6x -12 = 0
x = -(6) +/- √((6)² - 4(1)(-12))
 2(1)
x = -6 +/- √(36 + 48)
 2
x = -6 +/- √(84)
 2
x = -6 +/- 2√(21)
 2
x = -3 + √(21)
x = -3 + √(21) x = -3 - √(21)

Solve. Find all solutions in [0,2).5 secx cotx+5 secx+ cotx+1=0

Dmitrij [34]

$\begin{gathered} 5sec(x)cot(x)+5sec(x)+cot(x)+1=0 \\ Factoring \\ (cot(x)+1)(5sec(x)+1)=0 \\ cot(x)+1=0 \\ cot(x)=-1 \\ x=cot^{-1}(1) \\ x=\frac{3\pi}{4} \\ \\ 5sec(x)+1=0 \\ 5sec(x)=-1 \\ sec(x)=\frac{-1}{5},\text{ there is no solution} \\ Hence \\ All\text{ solution are }\frac{3\pi}{4}+\pi n,\text{ where n=1,2,3...} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

densk [106]

Answer:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 7, standard deviation 1.7.

For about 95% of students, nightly amount of sleep is between

7 - 2*1.7 = 7 - 3.4 = 3.6 hours

7 + 2*1.7 = 7 + 3.4 = 10.4 hours

So the correct answer is:

c. 3.6 and 10.4 hrs
