The equation would be x+5*-2=6.

The result of that equation would be x=16

X+5-(-2)=6
Subtract 5 from 5 and 6 which will give you x+(-2)=6 then subtract -2 which gives you x=8

Perform the indicated operation. PLEASEE HELPP HURRYY!! (3 + i) + (5 + 7i) = A) -2 + 6i B) 2 + i C) 8 + 6i D) 8 + 8i

Dovator [93]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{8 + 8i}}}}}$

Option D is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{(3 + i) + (5 + 7i)}$

When there is a ( + ) in front of an expression in parentheses , there is no need to change the sign.

That means, the expression remains the same.

Just remove the unnecessary parentheses

⇒ $\sf{3 + i + 5 + 7i}$

Collect like terms and simplify

⇒ $\sf{3 + 5 + i + 7i}$

⇒ $\sf{8 + 8i}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

A researcher wishes to estimate the number of households with two cars. How large a sample is needed in order to be 99% confiden

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Sample size n = 1382

so correct option is D) 1382

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

confidence level = 99 %

margin of error = 3%

probability = 25 %

to find out

How large a sample size needed

solution

we know here P = 25 %

so 1 - P = 1 - 0.25

1 - P = 0.75

and we know E margin of error is 0.03 so value of Z for 99%

α = 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99

α = 0.01

and $\frac{\alpha}{2}$ = $\frac{0.01}{2}$

$\frac{\alpha}{2}$ = 0.005

so Z is here

$Z_(\frac{\alpha}{2})$ = 2.576

sample size will be

Sample size n = $(\frac{(Z_(\frac{\alpha}{2})}{E})^2 * P * (1-P)$

put here value

Sample size n = (\frac{2.576}{0.03})^2 * 0.25 * 0.75

Sample size n = 1382

so correct option is D) 1382
