Given equation :−1/2 (x+2) + 112x = 3

We have -1/2 in front of parenthesis on left side .

It's better to remove fraction in an equation, in order make it easier to solve.

In order to remove 2 from denominator of 2, we need to multiply each and every term by 2.

Multiplying each term in the equation by 2, we get

2* −1/2(x+2) +2* 112x = 2*3.

On simplifying this step, we get

-1(x+2) +224x = 6.

Distributing -1 over (x+2), we get

-x -2 +224x = 6

Combining like terms on left side, -x+224x=223x

223x -2 = 6

Adding 2 on both sides, we get

223x -2+2 = 6+2

223x = 8

Dividing both sides by 223, we get

223x/223 = 8/223.

x= 8/223.

Fluoxetine, a generic anti-depressant, claims to have, on average, at least 20 milligrams of active ingredient. An independent l

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$t=\frac{18.7-20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}}=-2.326$

$df=n-1=80-1=79$

$p_v =P(t_{(79)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X=18.7$ represent the sample mean for the content of active ingredient

$s=5$ represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

$n=80$ sample size

$\mu_o =20$ represent the value that we want to test

t would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean for the active agent is at least 20 mg, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 20$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 20$

The statistic would be:

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

Now we can calculate the statistic:

$t=\frac{18.7-20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}}=-2.326$

P value

The degrees of freedom are calculated like this:

$df=n-1=80-1=79$

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

$p_v =P(t_{(79)}$

Which statements about a square are always true?

arlik [135]

Answer:

All statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square, we have

all sides equal

all angles equal to 90 degrees

diagonals always bisect each other and at right angles.

Only square is the quadrilateral which satisfies all the above properties.

A parallelogram has diagonals which do not cut at right angles.

A rhombus has all sides equal but not all angles. Neither diagonals are equal in a rhombus.

A dairy farmer plans to enclose a rectangular pasture adjacent to a river. to provide enough grass for the herd, the pasture mus

Ostrovityanka [42]

To solve this problem you must follow the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that <span>the pasture must contain 128 square meters and no fencing is required along the river. Then:

A=LxW

A is the area
L is the lenght
W is the width

2. Let's clear W:

W=A/L
W=128/L

3. The formula of the perimeter is:

P=2L+W

P=2L+(128/L)

4. Now, you must derivate:

dP/dL=0

2+(128/L</span>²)=0
<span> L=8 meters

W=A/L
W=128/8
W=16 meters
</span>
