5x^2 - 5 = -17

First add 5 to both sides:

5x^2 = -12

Now, divide by 5

x^2 = -12/5

Take the square root of both sides

x = sqrt -12/5

Because there can't be a square root of a negative number, your answer is:

x = sqrt -12/5 * i

Hope this helps!

Angle A and angle B are complementary angles. If m∡a = 4x and m∡b = 3x +13, what is the measure of the smaller angle?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles mean two two angles sum with equal 90 degrees. Therefore you would need to create an equation to solve for the value of x.

4x+3x+13=90

-13 -13

7x=77

/7 /7

X=11

Now plug in the value of x.

A=4(11) B=3(11)+13

A=44. B=33+13

B=46

Angle a is the smaller angle and measures at 44°

Sociologists say that 85% of married women claim that their husband's mother is the biggest bone of contention in their marriage
hoa [83]

Answer:

(A) 0.377,

(B) 0.000,

(C) 0.953,

(D) 0.047

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that having a bone of intention means not liking one's Mother-in-Law

(A) P(all six dislike their Mother-in-Law) = (85%)^6 = (.85)^6 = 0.377

(B) P(none of the six dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

(100% - 85%)^6 =

0.15^6 =

0.000

(C) P(at least 4 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

P(exactly 4 dislike their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 5 dislike their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 6 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

C(6,4) * (.85)^4 * (1-.85)^2 + C(6,5) * (.85)^5 * (.15)^1 + C(6,6) * (.85)^6 = (15) * (.85)^4 * (.15)^2 + (6) * (.85)^5 * .15 + (1) * (.85)^6 =

0.953

(D) P(no more than 3 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

P(exactly 0 dislikes their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 1 dislikes her Mother) + P(exactly 2 dislike their Mother-in-Law) + P(exactly 3 dislike their Mother-in-Law) =

C(6,0) * (.85)^0 * (.15)^6 + C(6,1) * (.85)^1 * (.15)^5 + C(6,2) * (.85)^2 * (.15)^4 + C(6,3) * (.85)^3 * (.15)^3 =

(1)(1)(.15)^6 + (6)(.85)(.15)^5 + (15)(.85)^2 *(.15)^4 + (20)(.85)^3 * (.15)^3 =

0.047

Natali [406]
Does it want it in standard form e.ge 0.00002 = 2 x 10(to the power of) -5, or is that in m and it wants you to convert it to micrometres?
