Alicia is solving a quadratic equation. She wants to find the value of x by taking the square root of both sides of the equation

. Which equation allows her to do this?
x2 + 81x + 18 = 54 space x2-8x+24=17

x2+9x-24=25space x2+16x+64=36

That's the last one because you can factor to get

(x + 8)^2 = 36

(x + 8) = +/- 6

X=19.5 because you multiply 23+5

The cost for Andrea to produce several units of a certain item is $336 plus $12 per unit. She sells this item for $28 per unit.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Profit will be achieved when the money earned is greater than the money spent so,
336 + (n*12) = n*28 any subsequent units sold would result in profit
336 = 28n - 12n
336 = 16n
=> n = 336/16 = 21
21 units must be sold to draw even any more would result in profit

Seventy-six percent of sunflower seeds will germinate into a flower, and a sample of 800 such sunflower seeds is randomly select

ollegr [7]

Answer:

12.08

Step-by-step explanation:

For each sunflower, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it germinates, or it does not. The probability of a sunflower germinating is independent of other sunflowers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Seventy-six percent of sunflower seeds will germinate into a flower

This means that $p = 0.76$

Samples of 800:

This means that $n = 800$

The standard deviation for the number of sunflower seeds that will germinate in such samples of size 800 is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{800*0.76*0.24} = 12.08$

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{a}{1 +bc} = x$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, it appears that you need to solve this equation in terms of x.

Beginning with the equation a = x(1 + bc), we must isolate the 'x' variable and make an equation equivalent to 'x'. This can be done by:

a = x(1 + bc)

Divide (1 + bc) from both sides, giving you:

$\frac{a}{1 +bc} = x$
