Answer:
D. x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Image can be rewritten as 3x + 6 = 9.
Solve for x.
3x +6 = 9
Isolate x by subtracting 6 from both sides.
3x = 3
Get rid of the 3 by dividing by 3 on both sides.
x = 1
Hope this helped.
With the facts you got here, you can make the following equation:
x*(x+2)=24
x^2+2x=24
x^2+2x-24=0
Then you can use the following formula (which you might have seen before):
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
where
ax^2+bx+c=0
(-2 +/- sqrt(4+96))/2
(-2 +/- 10)/2
x_1 = 4
x_2 = -6
Answer:
71.123 mph ≤ μ ≤ 77.277 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking into account that the speed of all cars traveling on this highway have a normal distribution and we can only know the mean and the standard deviation of the sample, the confidence interval for the mean is calculated as:
≤ μ ≤ 
Where m is the mean of the sample, s is the standard deviation of the sample, n is the size of the sample, μ is the mean speed of all cars, and
is the number for t-student distribution where a/2 is the amount of area in one tail and n-1 are the degrees of freedom.
the mean and the standard deviation of the sample are equal to 74.2 and 5.3083 respectively, the size of the sample is 10, the distribution t- student has 9 degrees of freedom and the value of a is 10%.
So, if we replace m by 74.2, s by 5.3083, n by 10 and
by 1.8331, we get that the 90% confidence interval for the mean speed is:
≤ μ ≤ 
74.2 - 3.077 ≤ μ ≤ 74.2 + 3.077
71.123 ≤ μ ≤ 77.277
