You need to subtract everything to the left side and set it equal to zero. Combine like terms.

Then, the coefficient of x^2 is a, the coefficient of x is b, and the constant term is c.

4x^2 - 5 = 3x + 4

4x^2 - 3x - 5 - 4 = 0

4x^2 - 3x - 9 = 0

a = 4; b = -3; c = -9

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$x = \dfrac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(4)(-9)}}{2(4)}$

Calculate the GPA of a student with the following grades: B (77 hours), D (66 hours), F (2020 hours). Note that an A is equivale

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The student's GPA is of 0.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

GPA:

To find the student's GPA, we find his weighed mean.

Grades:

7 hours worth 3(B)

6 hours worth 1(D)

20 hours worth 0(F). So

$M = \frac{7*3 + 6*1 + 20*0}{7+6+20} = 0.82$

The student's GPA is of 0.82.

A large mixing tank currently contains 350 gallons of water, into which 10 pounds of sugar have been mixed. A tap will open, pou

Marysya12 [62]

Answer

Let t be number of minutes since tap is opened

water is increased by 20 gallons of water per minute.

sugar increase rate of 3 pounds per minute

water :- W(t) = 350 + 10 t

sugar :- S(t) = 10 + 3 t

concentration

C(t) = $\dfrac{S(t)}{W(t)}$

at t = 15 minutes

C(15) = $\dfrac{S(15)}{W(15)}$

C(15) = $\dfrac{10 + 3\times 15 }{350 + 10\times 15}$

C(15) = 0.11

at beginning t = 0 minutes

C(0) = $\dfrac{S(0)}{W(0)}$

C(0) = $\dfrac{10 + 3\times 0}{350 + 10\times 0}$

C(0) = 0.0286

C(15) > C(0)

hence, concentration is increasing as time is passing.

A survey showed that 77% of us need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. 13 adults are randomly

earnstyle [38]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the probability that at least 12 of the 13 adults require eyesight correction is of 0.163 = 16.3%. Since this probability is greater than 5%, it is found that 12 is not a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction.

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes, either they need correction for their eyesight, or they do not. The probability of a person needing correction is independent of any other person, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

A survey showed that 77% of us need correction, hence p = 0.77.

13 adults are randomly selected, hence n = 13.

The probability that at least 12 of them need correction for their eyesight is given by:

$P(X \geq 12) = P(X = 12) + P(X = 13)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 12) = C_{13,12}.(0.77)^{12}.(0.23)^{1} = 0.1299$

$P(X = 13) = C_{13,13}.(0.77)^{13}.(0.23)^{0} = 0.0334$

Then:

$P(X \geq 12) = P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) = 0.1299 + 0.0334 = 0.163$

The probability that at least 12 of the 13 adults require eyesight correction is of 0.163 = 16.3%. Since this probability is greater than 5%, it is found that 12 is not a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction.
