Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given:

√2x+3 - √x+1 = 1

First of all isolate the square root of the left hand side:

√2x+3 = √x+1 +1

Now take square on both sides.

(√2x+3)^2 = (√x+1 +1)^2

Open the R.H.S by squaring formula.

∴(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

2x+3 = (√x+1)^2 + 2(√x+1)(1)+(1)^2

2x+3 = x+1 +2√x+1 +1

2x+3 = x+2 +2√x+1

Combine the like terms:

2x-x+3-2 = 2√x+1

x+1 = 2√x+1

Take square on both sides

(x+1)^2 = (2√x+1)^2

x²+2x+1 = 4x+4

x²+2x-4x+1-4 = 0

x²-2x-3 = 0

Now solve the quadratic equation:

a = 1 , b= -2 , c = -3

x = -b+/-√b²-4ac/2a

x = -(-2)+/-√(-2)² - 4(1)(-3) / 2(1)

x = 2 +/- √4+12 / 2

x = 2+/- √16/2

x = 2+/- 4 /2

x = 2+4/2 , x = 2-4/2

x = 6/2 , x = -2/2

x = 3 , x = -1

The solutions we get is (3, -1).

Savatey [412]

Answer:

it is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason it is 48 is because the length is 6 feet and it is 8 wide so 8x6=48

and it would be 480.00$

Using the net below, find the surface area of the triangular prism.

Luden [163]

Answer:

Hi, there! The total surface area of that prism is 118 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three rectangles on the side are called the lateral area, and they add up to 98(I'm assuming you know how to find the area of a 2d shape), and as for the triangles on the sides, you can just use the formula which is $b*h/2$ .

Hope this helps :)

Sarah claims that the thickness of the spearmint gum she produces is 7.5 one-hundredths of an inch. A quality control specialist

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Data: 7.65, 7.60, 7.65, 7.7, 7.55, 7.55, 7.4, 7.4, 7.5, 7.5

We can begin calculating the sample mean given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And the sample deviation given by:

$s=\sart{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And we got:

$\bar X=7.55$ represent the sample mean

$s=0.103$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =7.5$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

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

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to 7.5 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 7.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 7.5$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis.
