X + y = 15
xy = -312

     x + y = 15
x - x + y = -x + 15
           y = -x + 15

                                           xy = -312
                               x(-x + 15) = -312
                           x(-x) + x(15) = -312
                                 -x² + 15x = -312
                       -x² + 15x + 312 = 0
           -1(x²) - 1(-15x) - 1(312) = 0
                    -1(x² - 15x + 312) = 0
                                  -1              -1
                          x² - 15x + 312 = 0
                          x = -(-15) ± √((-15)² - 4(1)(312))
                                                  2(1)
                          x = 15 ± √(225 - 1248)
                                               2
                          x = 15 ± √(-1023)
                                         2
                          x = 15 ± 31.984i
                                         2
                          x = 7.5 ± 15.992
                          x = 7.5 + 15.992    or    x = 7.5 - 15.992
                          x = 23.492        or         x = -8.492

              x + y = 15
     23.492 + y = 15
   - 23.492        - 23.492
                    y = -8.492
              (x, y) = (23.492, -8.492)

                      or

              x + y = 15
     -8.492 + y = 15
   + 8.492         + 8.492
                   y = 23.492
             (x, y) = (-8.492, 23.492)

The two numbers that add up to 15 and mutliply to -312 are -8.492 and 23.492.

What is the missing length??
amid [387]

Answer

The missing length is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the missing length with x

The sides of the given shape are directly proportional.

Mathematically:

(15 + x) to (12 + 8) and x to 7

Represent as a ratio:

(15 + x) : (12 + 8) = x : 8

15 + x : 20= x : 8

Convert to fraction

\frac{15 + x}{20} = \frac{x}{8}

Cross Multiply:

(15 + x)*8 = 20 * x

120 + 8x = 20x

Collect Like Terms

20x - 8x = 120

12x = 120

Solve for x

x = \frac{120}{10}

x = 10

<em>The length of the missing side is 10</em>

Answer:

a. p(x<= 5) = .15 + .4 + .25 = .8

C. .4(4.2) = 1.68

5.4(1-.4) = 3.24

3.24 + 1.68 = 4.92 ,, 4.92 > 4.55 so short is better
