Xy = 6
x + y = 9

x + y = 9
x - x + y = -x + 9
y = -x + 9

  xy = 6
  x(-x + 9) = 6
  x(-x) + x(9) = 6
-x² + 9x = 6
  -x² + 9x - 6 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-9x) - 1(6) = 0
-1(x² - 9x + 6) = 0
-1 -1
x² - 9x + 6 = 0
x = -(-9) ± √((-9)² - 4(1)(6))
2(1)
x = 9 ± √(81 - 24)
2
x = 9 ± √(57)
2
x = 4.5 ± 0.5√(57)

x + y = 9
4.5 ± 0.5√(57) + y = 9
- (4.5 ± 0.5√(57)) - (4.5 ± 0.5√(57))
y = 4.5 ± 0.5√(57)
(x, y) = (4.5 ± 0.5√(57), 4.5 ± 0.5√(57))

The two numbers that multiply to 6 and add up to 9 are 4.5 ± 0.5√(57).

Simplify the surd 3√ 20 +√ 45

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

9 $\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

$\sqrt{a}$ × $\sqrt{b}$ ⇔ $\sqrt{ab}$

Simplify the radicals

$\sqrt{20}$

= $\sqrt{4(5)}$

= $\sqrt{4}$ × $\sqrt{5}$

= 2 $\sqrt{5}$

$\sqrt{45}$

= $\sqrt{9(5)}$

= $\sqrt{9}$ × $\sqrt{5}$

= 3 $\sqrt{5}$

Then

3 $\sqrt{20}$ + $\sqrt{45}$

= 3(2 $\sqrt{5}$ ) + 3 $\sqrt{5}$

= 6 $\sqrt{5}$ + 3 $\sqrt{5}$

= 9 $\sqrt{5}$

Use technology or a z-score table to answer the question.

Alik [6]

Answer:

The second choice: Approximately $65.2\%$ of the pretzel bags here will contain between 225 and 245 pretzels.

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation uses a z-score table where each $z$ entry has two decimal places.

Let $\mu$ represent the mean of a normal distribution of variable $X$ . Let $\sigma$ be the standard deviation of the distribution. The z-score for the observation $x$ would be:

$\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ .

In this question,

$\mu = 240$ .
$\sigma = 9.3$ .

Calculate the z-score for $x_1 = 225$ and $x_2 = 245$ . Keep in mind that each entry in the z-score table here has two decimal places. Hence, round the results below so that each contains at least two decimal places.

$\begin{aligned} z_1 &= \frac{x_1 - \mu}{\sigma} \\ &= \frac{225 - 240}{9.3} \approx -1.61\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} z_2 &= \frac{x_2 - \mu}{\sigma} \\ &= \frac{245 - 240}{9.3} \approx 0.54\end{aligned}$ .

The question is asking for the probability $P(225 \le X \le 245)$ (where $X$ is between two values.) In this case, that's the same as $P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54)$ .

Keep in mind that the probabilities on many z-table correspond to probability of $P(Z \le z)$ (where $Z$ is no greater than one value.) Therefore, apply the identity $P(z_1 \le Z \le z_2) = P(Z \le z_2) - P(Z \le z_1)$ to rewrite $P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54)$ as the difference between two probabilities:

$P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54) = P(Z \le 0.54) - P(Z \le -1.61)$ .

Look up the z-table for $P(Z \le 0.54)$ and $P(Z \le -1.61)$ :

$P(Z \le 0.54)\approx 0.70540$ .
$P(Z \le -1.61) \approx 0.05370$ .

$\begin{aligned}& P(225 \le X \le 245) \\ &= P\left(\frac{225 - 240}{9.3} \le Z \le \frac{245 - 240}{9.3}\right)\\&\approx P(-1.61 \le Z \le 0.54) \\ &= P(Z \le 0.54) - P(Z \le -1.61)\\ &\approx 0.70540 - 0.05370 \\& \approx 0.65.2 \\ &= 65.2\% \end{aligned}$ .
