➷ We can form an equation:

x^2 + x = 90

Subtract 90 from both sides:

x^2 + x - 90 = 0

Now factorize:

(x + 10)(x - 9) = 0

Thus, x = 9 or x = -10

Either of these answers would work, but stick with 9 as your answer.

ANSWER:

When a number is added to its square the result is 90. The number is 9, -10

SOLUTION:

Let the number be "x"

Given, a number is added to it’s square. This can be represented as,

number + it’s square

$x+x^{2}$

Also given that, result is 90. Hence the above equation is equal to 90

$\begin{array}{l}{x+x^{2}=90} \\ {x^{2}+x-90=0}\end{array}$

we can solve this equation by factorizing the equation.

$x^{2}+1 \times x-9 \times 10=0$

On rewriting the above equation, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{x^{2}+(10-9) \times x-9 \times 10=0} \\ {x^{2}+10 x-9 x-9 \times 10=0}\end{array}$

Taking “x” as common, we get

x(x + 10) -9(x + 10) = 0

(x + 10)(x – 9) = 0

x+10 = 0, x – 9 = 0

x = -10, 9

Hence, the values of x are 9, -10.

Answer:

Options (C) and (E).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation is a rigid transformation in which size and shape of the figure and image remains the same.

That means angles and sides of the triangles given in the figure will remain same after the transformations given.

Since, the given triangle has been rotated about a point Z, each rotation will share the vertex Z.

And every figure is the transformed form of the given triangle, all four triangles will be congruent.

Options (C) and (E) are the correct options.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (1, 1), and is perpendicular to the graph of 3x + 2y

defon

Answer:

2X-3Y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation is 3X +2Y = -7

FIRST BRING THIS IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM

2Y = -3X -7

DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 2

Y = (-3/2)X -7/2

SLOPE OF GIVEN EQUATION IS -3/2

SLOPE OF LINE PERPENDICULAR TO THIS IS NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL HENCE SLOPE OF REQUIRED EQUATION IS 2/3

EQUATION OF STRAIGHT LINE IN POINT SLOPE FORM IS

Y-Y1 = m(X-X1)

Y-1 = (2/3)(X-1)

MULTIPLYING ALL TERMS BY 3

3(Y-1) = 2(X-1)

3Y-3 = 2X -2

2X-2 = 3Y-3

2X-3Y =-3+2

2X-3Y = -1

Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees0° and standard deviation of 1.00d

nikitadnepr [17]

For this question, we assume that 2.5% of the thermometers are rejected at both sides of the distribution because they have readings that are too low or too high.

Answer:

The "two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others" are -1.96 Celsius degrees (below which 2.5% of the readings are too low) and 1.96 Celsius degrees (above which 2.5% of the readings are too high).

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question using the standard normal distribution. This is a normal distribution with mean that equals 0, $\\ \mu = 0$ , and standard deviation that equals 1, $\\ \sigma = 1$ .

And because of using the standard normal distribution, we are going to take into account the following relevant concepts:

Standardized scores or z-scores, which we can consider as the distance from the mean in standard deviations units, and the formula for them is as follows:

$\\ Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ [1]

A positive value indicates that the possible raw value X is above $\\ \mu$ , and a negative that the possible raw value X is below the mean.

The [cumulative] standard normal table: there exists a table where all these values correspond to a probability, and we can apply it for every possible normally distributed data as well as we first standardize the possible raw values for X using [1]. This table is called the standard normal table, and it is available in all Statistics books or on the Internet.

From the question, we have the following information about the readings on the thermometers, which is a normally distributed random variable:

Its mean, $\\ \mu = 0$ Celsius degrees.
Its standard deviation, $\\ \sigma = 1.00$ Celsius degrees.

It coincides with the parameters of the standard normal distribution, and we can find probabilities accordingly.

It is important to mention that the readings that are too low or too high in the normal distribution are at both extremes of it, one of them with values below the mean, $\\ \mu$ , and the other with values above it.

In this case, we need to find:

First, the value below which is 2.5% of the lowest values of the distribution, and

Second, the value above which is 2.5% of the highest values of the distribution.

Here, we can take advantage of the symmetry of the normal or Gaussian distributions. In this case, the value for the 2.5% of the lowest and highest values is the same in absolute value, but one is negative (that one below the mean, $\\ \mu$ ) and the other is positive (that above the mean).

Solving the Question

The value below (and above) which are the 2.5% of the lowest (the highest) values of the distribution

Because $\\ \mu = 0$ and $\\ \sigma = 1$ (and the reasons above explained), we need to find a z-score with a corresponding probability of 2.5% or 0.025.

As we know that this value is below $\\ \mu$ , it is negative (the z-score is negative). Then, we can consult the standard normal table and find the probability 0.025 that corresponds to this specific z-score.

For this, we first find the probability of 0.025 and then look at the first row and the first column of the table, and these values are (-0.06, -1.9), respectively. Therefore, the value for the z-score = -1.96, $\\ z = -1.96$ .

As we said before, the distribution in the question has $\\ \mu = 0$ and $\\ \sigma = 1$ , the same than the standard normal distribution (of course the units are in Celsius degrees in our case).

Thus, one of the cutoff value that separates the rejected thermometers is -1.96 Celsius degrees for that 2.5% of the thermometers rejected because they have readings that are too low.

And because of the symmetry of the normal distribution, z = 1.96 is the other cutoff value, that is, the other lecture is 1.96 Celsius degrees, but in this case for that 2.5% of the thermometers rejected because they have readings that are too high. That is, in the standard normal distribution, above z = 1.96, the probability is 0.025 or $\\ P(z>1.96) = 0.025$ because $\\ P(z$ .

Remember that

$\\ P(z>1.96) + P(z$

$\\ P(z>1.96) = 1 - P(z$

$\\ P(z>1.96) = 1 - 0.975$

$\\ P(z>1.96) = 0.025$

Therefore, the "two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others" are -1.96 Celsius degrees and 1.96 Celsius degrees.

The below graph shows the areas that correspond to the values below -1.96 Celsius degrees (red) (2.5% or 0.025) and the values above 1.96 Celsius degrees (blue) (2.5% or 0.025).
