The GCF of two numbers is 850. Neither number is divisible by the other. what is the smallest that these two numbers could be?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

(√5)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the several ways I can think of to do this, using a graphing calculator is about the easiest. It shows the minimum to be ...

f(1) = √1.25 = (√5)/2

__

Using the distance formula, you have ...

f(x) = √((x -(-2))² +((x² +2)-5/2)²)

f(x) = √(x² +4x +4 +x⁴ -x² +1/4) = √(x⁴ +4x +17/4)

The minimum is found where the derivative is zero.

f'(x) = (2x³ +2)/√(x⁴ +4x +17/4) = 0

x³ = -1 . . . . . f'(x) is zero when the numerator is zero

x = -1 . . . . . cube root

Then the minimum value of f(x) is ...

f(-1) = √(x⁴ +4x +17/4) = √((-1)⁴ +4(-1) +17/4) = √(1 -4 +17/4) = √(5/4)

f(-1) = (√5)/2 . . . . minimum value of f(x)

__

The graph shows f²(x) in red and its minimum of 1.25 = 5/4. The curve (x, x²+2) and the point (-2, 5/2) are also shown, for reference. (The slope of the curve at x=-1 is -2, and the normal to the curve at that point has slope 1/2. The normal goes through the point (-2, 5/2), consistent with f(x) being a minimum at x=-1.)

Joey owns a small bakery and today Phoebe has ordered 100 cookies. If Joey boxes the cookies by the dozen, which of the followin

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Joey needs 9 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will use the fact that a dozen is 12 cookies. You're trying to find how many dozen are in 100.

Something like:

12b = 100

or if you're studying inequalities:

12b >= 100

Divide by 12 to solve. See image. Interpret the results. See image.

Can someone solve for x

Helen [10]

bearing in mind that, whenever we have an absolute value expression, is in effect a piece-wise function with a positive and a negative version of the expression, so

$\bf |x^2-4x-5|=7\implies \begin{cases} +(x^2-4x-5)=7\\\\ -(x^2-4x-5)=7 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ +(x^2-4x-5)=7\implies x^2-4x-5=7\implies x^2-4x-12=0 \\\\\\ (x-6)(x+2)=0\implies x= \begin{cases} 6\\ -2 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -(x^2-4x-5)=7\implies x^2-4x-5=-7\implies x^2-4x+2=0 \\\\\\ (x-2)(x-2)=0\implies x = 2$

The germination rate is the rate at which plants begin to grow after the seed is planted.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.467 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{15}}}=-5.59$

$p_v =P(z$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of germinated seeds is significantly lower than 0.9 or 90%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=15 represent the random sample taken

X=7 represent the number of seeds germinated

$\hat p=\frac{7}{15}=0.467$ estimated proportion of seeds germinated

$p_o=0.9$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of germinated seeds is less than 0.9 or 90%.:

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.9$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.9$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.467 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{15}}}=-5.59$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level assumed is $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of germinated seeds is significantly lower than 0.9 or 90%
