8 0

Answer:

x=2i-2,\:x=-2i-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x = -8\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:completing\:the\:square}\\\\\mathrm{Write\:equation\:in\:the\:form:\:\:}x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:for\:}a,\:2ax=4x:\quad a=2\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}a^2=2^2\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+4x+2^2=-8+2^2\\\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}-8+2^2:\quad -4\\x^2+4x+2^2=-4\\\\\mathrm{Complete\:the\:square}\\\left(x+2\right)^2=-4\\\\\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}\\

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x+2=\sqrt{-4}:\quad x=2i-2\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x+2=-\sqrt{-4}:\quad x=-2i-2\\\\x=2i-2,\:x=-2i-2\\

What is the solution to the equation?

3q + 5 = -2q + 20

add 2q to both sides.

5q + 5 = 20

subtract 5 to both sides.

5q = 15

divide 5 to both sides.

q = \frac{15}{5}

the answer is: q = 3

Answer:

Gaming Functions

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your teacher is implying for you to explain the function and the "works" behind the game. Maybe talk about the game's programming or the way it's overall structured?

The claim is that the proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week is less than 0.30​, and the sample statistics
IrinaK [193]

Answer: 0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

let p be the population proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week.

As per given , we have

H_a: p

Sample size : n= 1491

The sample proportion of adults smoked a cigarette= \hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{462}{1491}=0.30985915493\approx0.31

The test statistic for proportion is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Substitute all the values , we get

z=\dfrac{0.31-0.30}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.30(1-0.30)}{1491}}}\\\\=\dfrac{0.01}{\sqrt{0.000141}}\\\\=\dfrac{0.01}{0.011874342087}=0.84261497731\approx0.84

Hence, the value of the test statistic = 0.84
