Given:
savings 12% of her salary.
savings $4,200
This year's salary: x + 3,000
Last year's salary: x

4,200 represents 12% of her salary.
4,200 / 12% = 35,000 is her salary this year.

x + 3,000 = 35,000
x = 35,000 - 3,000
x = 32,000 her salary last year.

Find out for what value of the variable:

Burka [1]

Answer:

$a=-1,\ a=-5$

$x=-2+i,\ -2-i$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

We have two cases where some variable is required to be found such that some condition is met. The first case is about finding the value of a that complies:

$a^2+7a+6=a+1$

Rearranging

$a^2+6a+5=0$

Factoring:

$(a+1)(a+5)=0$

There are two solutions:

$a=-1,\ a=-5$

The second case requires us to find the value of x such that

$3x^2-x+1 =2x^2+5x-4$

Rearranging

$x^2+4x+5=0$

This second-degree equation has no real roots. We'll offer the imaginary (complex) solutions:

$x=-2+i,\ -2-i$

.In the Star Wars franchise, Yoda stands at only 66 centimeters tall. Suppose you want to see whether or not hobbits from the Lo

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

We conclude that the average height of hobbit is taller than Yoda.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in the Star Wars franchise, Yoda stands at only 66 centimetres tall.

From a sample of 7 hobbits, you ﬁnd their mean height $\bar X$ = 80 cm with standard deviation s = 10.8 cm.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>Let </em></u> $\mu$ <u><em> = average height of hobbit.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ $\leq$ 66 cm {means that the average height of hobbit is shorter than or equal to Yoda}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ > 66 cm {means that the average height of hobbit is taller than Yoda}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean height = 80 cm

s = sample standard deviation = 10.8 cm

n = sample of hobbits = 7

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u> = $\frac{80-66}{\frac{10.8}{\sqrt{7}}}$ ~ $t_6$

= 3.429

The value of t test statistics is 3.429.

<em>Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of 3.143 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of t as 3.429 > 3.143, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which </em><em><u>we reject our null hypothesis</u></em><em>.</em>

<em />

Therefore, we conclude that the average height of hobbit is taller than Yoda.

Find the area of the rectangle.

aev [14]

Answer:

$69y+23$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle will always be length times width or width times length, doesn't matter which way.

In this case, the width is $3y+1$ miles and the length is $23$ miles. So, the area is $23(3y+1)=23*3*y+23*1=69*y+23$ .

So, the area is $\boxed{69y+23}$ and we're done.
