If 2a+ 2/a =4, what is the value of 2a^2+ 2/a^2 ?

Mathematics

LuckyWell [14K]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + 2/a = 4

a + 1/a = 2

a^2 + 1 = 2a

a^2 - 2a +1 = 0

(a-1)^2 = 0

a = 1

2(1)^2 + (2/(1)^2) = 4

On Thursday a local shop sold a combination of 417 hamburgers and cheese burgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times
seropon [69]

Answer:

The number of hamburgers sold was 139 and the number of cheeseburgers  sold was 278.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the numbers of hamburgers sold on Thursday

y -----> the numbers of cheeseburgers sold on Thursday

we know that

x+y=417 ----> equation A

y=2x ----> equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for x

x+2x=417

3x=417

x=139

Find the value of y

y=2(139)=278

therefore        

The number of hamburgers sold was 139 and the number of cheeseburgers  sold was 278.

Carmen spent $18 on fruit at the grocery store. She spent a total of $45 at the store. What percentage of the total did she spen
gladu [14]
All we have to do is divide the money she spent on fruit by the total and multiply that by 100.
18÷45
.4×100
40
So, Carmen spent 40% of her money on fruit.

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 48 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function
Masja [62]
The equation modeling the height of the ball at time,t is given by h=-16t²+48t+6
<span>a. In how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height?
Time taken for the ball to reach the maximum height will be given by:
h'(t)=-32t+48=0
finding the value of t we get:
32t=48
t=48/32
t=1.5 seconds
Thus the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum time is 1.5 seconds

The maximum height will be:

h(1.5)=42 fee

A sample of 900900 computer chips revealed that 76v% of the chips do not fail in the first 10001000 hours of their use. The comp
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p=0.78  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.78  

z=\frac{0.76 -0.78}{\sqrt{\frac{0.78(1-0.78)}{900}}}=-1.448  

p_v =2*P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of chip that do not fail in the first 1000 hours is not significantly different from 0.78 or 78%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=900 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.76 estimated proportion of chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours

p_o=0.78 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.78:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.78  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.78  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.76 -0.78}{\sqrt{\frac{0.78(1-0.78)}{900}}}=-1.448  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level assumed for this case is \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of chip that do not fail in the first 1000 hours is not significantly different from 0.78 or 78%.

1) 2x11 =<br> I don’t know how to do this
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

22, Twenty Two

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to look at multiplying 11 is that the number, if it’s under 10, will then be two of that number. For instance, 4 x 11 = 44, 6 x 11 = 66, and so on and so forth.

Hope This Helped!
