Answer:

<h2>y = 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\\\\2y-8\neq0\ \wedge\ y+4\neq0\ \wedge\ y^2-16\neq0\\\\2y\neq8\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y^2\neq16\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4\\\\\boxed{y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4}\\\\===========================

\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-4^2}\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}=-\dfrac{10}{y+4}+\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{y+4}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}+\dfrac{10}{y+4}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}

\dfrac{8(y+4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}+\dfrac{10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{8(y+4)+10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\\dfrac{8y+32+10y-40}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\\dfrac{(8y+10y)+(32-40)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{18y-8}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\iff18y-8=14y+16\\\\18y-8=14y+16\qquad\text{subtract 14y from both sides}

4y-8=16\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\4y=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y=8\in D

Engineers must consider the breadths of male heads when designing helmets. The company researchers have determined that the popu
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele = 4.105 inches to 3d.p = 4.1 inches to 1 d.p

b) The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele = 8.905 inches to 3 d.p = 8.9 inches to 1 d.p

Step-by-step explanation:

This is normal distribution problem.

A normal distribution has all the data points symmetrically distributed around the mean in a bell shape.

For this question, mean = xbar = 6.1 inches

Standard deviation = σ = 1 inch

And we want to find the lowermost 2.3% and uppermost 2.3% of the data distribution.

The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele has a z-score with probability of 2.3% = 0.023

Let that z-score be z'

That is, P(z ≤ z') = 0.023

Using the table to obtain the value of z'

z' = - 1.995

P(z ≤ - 1.995) = 0.023

But z-score is for any value, x, is that value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z' = (x - xbar)/σ

- 1.995 = (x - 6.1)/1

x = -1.995 + 6.1 = 4.105 inches

The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele has a z-score with probability of 2.3% also = 0.023

Let that z-score be z''

That is, P(z ≥ z'') = 0.023

Using the table to obtain the value of z''

P(z ≥ z") = P(z ≤ -z")

- z'' = - 1.995

z" = 1.995

P(z ≥ 1.995) = 0.023

But z-score is for any value, x, is that value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z'' = (x - xbar)/σ

1.995 = (x - 6.1)/1

x = 1.995 + 6.1 = 8.905 inches
