When factoring x^2 + 9x + 18, what's the first thing you should look at?

For the carpet:

Given:

Area = x^2 + x - 20 ft^2
Length = x+ 5 ft

As a carpet is rectangular, the area is defined as the product of the length and the width. To obtain an expression of the carpet's width, the area is to be divided by the length, which is shown below:

__x_-_4___x + 5|x^2 + x - 20 x^2 + 5x -------- -4x - 20 -4x - 20 -------- 0

Therefore, the expression of width = x - 4.

Applying the value of x = 20 to obtain the measurements of the carpet, we obtain the following:

Width = x - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16ft
Length = x+ 5 = 20 + 5 = 25ft.

Therefore, the carpet is 25ft x 16ft.

For the wall:

The same principles apply to the wall as it is also assumed to be rectangular.

Given:
Area = x^2 + 17x + 30 ft^2
Width = x + 2

To obtain the expression for the wall's length, Area is to be divided by the Width, which is shown below:

__x_+_15______x + 2|x^2 + 17x + 30 x^2 + 2x -------- 15x + 30 15x + 30 --------- 0

Therefore, the expression for the wall's length is x + 15.

Applying the value of x = 20 to obtain the wall's dimensions:

Length = x + 15 = 20 + 15 = 35ft.
Width = x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22ft.

Therefore the wall has measurements of 35ft x 22ft.

Let us consider the distance between kensington and greenwich be x
since the given figure is a right angled triangle,we use pythagoras theorem to find the answer

so by pythagoras theorem
x^2= 20^2+40^2
x^2=400+1600
x^2=2000

x=root of 2000=20root 5mi
answer is option (b)

Suppose a sample of 100 families of four vacationing at Niagara Falls resulted in sample mean of $282.45 spent per day and a sam

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Given Information:

Mean = μ = $282.45

Standard deviation = σ = $64.50

Sample size = n = 100

Confidence level = 95%

Required Information:

95% Confidence interval = ?

Answer:

95% Confidence interval = ($269.81, $295.09)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.

What is Confidence Interval?

The confidence interval represents an interval that we can guarantee that the target variable will be within this interval for a given confidence level.

The confidence interval is given by

$CI = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\$

Where $\bar{x}$ is the mean and MoE is the margin of error given by

$MoE = z_{\alpha/2}(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } ) \\$

Where σ is the standard deviation, n is the sample size and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the z-score corresponding to 95% confidence level.

$z_{\alpha/2} = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05/2 = 0.025\\\\z_{0.025} = 1.96$

$MoE = 1.96\cdot \frac{64.50}{\sqrt{100} } \\\\MoE = 1.96\cdot 6.45\\\\MoE = 12.64\\$

Finally, the confidence interval is

$CI = \bar{x} \pm MoE\\\\CI = 282.45 \pm 12.64\\\\CI = 282.45 - 12.64 \: and \: 282.45 + 12.64\\\\CI = \$269.81 \: and \:\:\$295.09\\$

Therefore, we are 95% sure that the true population mean amount spent per day by a family of four visiting Niagara Falls is within the interval of ($269.81, $295.09)
