The solutions would be +0.37 and -0.37.

When completing the square, we take 1/2 of the value of b (in this case 5).  5/2=2.5.  We then square this number:  2.5²=6.25.  We add this value to both sides of the equation:

x²+5x+6.25 = 2+6.25
(x+2.5)² = 8.25

Take the square root of both sides:
√(x+2.5)² = √8.25
x + 2.5 = 2.87

Subtract 2.5 from both sides:"
x+2.5-2.5 = 2.87-2.5
x = 0.37

We have to take the positive and negative values for solutions, however, since a square root has both positive and negative answers.

(x+2.5)² = 8.25

klasskru [66]
Where x is the length of the first piece
x + 2x + 6x + 1 = 28 \\  \\ 9x = 27 \\  \\ x = 3
so the first piece is 3 inches, the second is 6 inches and the third is 19 inches

kifflom [539]
1/3(21 - 3a) = 6 - a
7 - a = 6 - a
7 = 6

Therefore, the equation has no solution.

The essay lengths of 29 randomly sampled essays are used to estimate the mean of the population. What t-score should be used to
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A t-score of 1.701 should be used to find the 95% confidence interval for the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 29 - 1 = 28

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 28 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 0.95(t_{95}). So we have T = 1.701.

A t-score of 1.701 should be used to find the 95% confidence interval for the population mean

What is 1/2(x+14) because i am having trouble solving it and no calculator has been able to help me also.
ivann1987 [24]

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

\frac{1}{2}x+7

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

\boxed{\text{Simplifying the equation...}}\\\\\frac{1}{2}(x+14)\\------------\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}*x = \frac{1}{2}x\\\\\rightarrow\frac{1}{2}*14=7\\\\\rightarrow     \frac{1}{2}(x+14)= \boxed{\frac{1}{2}x+7}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
