Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 4x + 10 = 0
subtract 10 from both sides
x² - 4x = - 10
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = - 10 + 4
(x - 2)² = - 6
To complete the square add 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that evolution theory hypothesizes that people should spontaneously follow a 24-hour cycle of sleeping and wakingdash–even if they are not exposed to the usual pattern of sunlight.
Sample size n = 8
df = 8- 1=7
Since population std deviation is not known, and sample size is small we can use only t test
(two tailed test at 5% level of significance)

Test statistic = Mean diff/se = 1.595
p = 0.1546
since p >0.05, accept null hypothesis.
There is no evidence to prove that the steady cycle is different from 24 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x(x-2y)-(y-x)2
Final result :
-y2
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
x • (x - 2y) - (y - x)2
Step 2 :
2.1 Evaluate : (y-x)2 = y2-2xy+x2
Final result :
-y2
Answer:
b = 3 and a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have your given equation:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
You need to find what a and b is.
To find b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.
So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
-------------------
a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.
To find a:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.
Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:
-2a + 3b = 11
-1a - 3b = -8
------------------
-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.
Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.
1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11
-2 - 9 = -11
2. -1 + 3(3) = 8
-1 + 9 = 8
