Answer:

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A produces x boxes in 10 minutes

In one minute, the machine produces x/10 boxes

Machine B produces 2x boxes in 5 minutes

In one minute, the machine produces 2x/5 boxes

Therefore in one minutes, both boxes working together will produce

= 2x/5 + x/10

=5x/10

=x/2 boxes

To produce 3x boxes, the time required

= 3x/(x/2)

= 3 × 2

= 6

It take machines A and B, working simultaneously at their respective constant rates, to produce 3x boxes in 6 minutes

A community college has a math placement exam that has a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 8.2. If a student takes the exam
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 65, \sigma = 8.2

What is the score that cuts off the bottom 2.5%

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.025, so X when Z = -1.96.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.96 = \frac{X - 65}{8.2}

X - 65 = -1.96*8.2

X = 48.93

The score that cuts off the bottom 2.5% is 48.93.

What are possible coordinates of point F if triangle DEF is<br> congruent to triangle ABC?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

(-1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B is 5 units below point A, and point E is 5 units above point D: AB = ED. This means that BC will be equal to EF. B and C are 7 units apart, so 7 units left from E is (-1, 4).

Hope this helps!

PLS HELP!<br> solve by completing the square<br> x²+4x=8
masya89 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+4x=8

rearrange

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

half of 4 is 2

so

x² + 4x + 2² - 2² - 8 = 0

do x² + 4x + 2²

multiplies to give 4 adds to give 4

2+ 2

(x + 2)²

(x + 2)² - 2² - 8

(x + 2)² - 4 - 8

(x + 2)² - 12

(x + 2 + √12) (x + 2 - √12)

√12 = √4 * √3 = 2 √3

(x + 2 + 2√3) (x + 2 - 2√3)
