Answer:

The number of tulips is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of tulips,

Since, the number of daffodils is equal to the square root of the number of tulips,

⇒ The number of daffodils = √x,

Thus, the total flowers = x + √x,

According to the question,

x + \sqrt{x} = 20,

\implies \sqrt{x} = 20 - x  

By squaring both sides,

x = (20-x)^2  

x = 400 + x^2 - 40x

x^2-41x+400=0

x^2-25x-16x+400=0

x(x-25)-16(x-25)=0

\implies (x-16)(x-25)=0

⇒ x = 16 or x = 25,

But, if the number of tulip is 25,

Then the total number of flowers > 20 ( Not possible )

Thus, the number of tulips is 16.

There are 16 tulips because the square root of 16 is 4, which means there will be 4 daffodils and 16+4=20. So the answer is 16 tulips.

When referring to the normal probability distribution, there is not just one; there is a "family" of normal probability distribu
pishuonlain [190]
<span>A probability distribution is formed from all possible outcomes of a random process (for a random variable X) and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distributions may either be discrete (distinct/separate outcomes, such as number of children) or continuous (a continuum of outcomes, such as height). A probability density function is defined such that the likelihood of a value of X between a and b equals the integral (area under the curve) between a and b. This probability is always positive. Further, we know that the area under the curve from negative infinity to positive infinity is one. The normal probability distribution, one of the fundamental continuous distributions of statistics, is actually a family of distributions (an infinite number of distributions with differing means (ÎĽ) and standard deviations (Ď). Because the normal distribution is a continuous distribution, we can not calculate exact probability for an outcome, but instead we calculate a probability for a range of outcomes (for example the probability that a random variable X is greater than 10). The normal distribution is symmetric and centered on the mean (same as the median and mode). While the x-axis ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity, nearly all of the X values fall within +/- three standard deviations of the mean (99.7% of values), while ~68% are within +/-1 standard deviation and ~95% are within +/- two standard deviations. This is often called the three sigma rule or the 68-95-99.7 rule. The normal density function is shown below (this formula won’t be on the diagnostic!)</span>

Determine the average rate of change from 0 to 4 for the function f(x)=2^x-3

If the question meant f(x)=2^(x) -3 then the answer should be 1 over 4 or 1/4

I need help i dont understand this
Ad libitum [116K]

The answer is B)x+y=y+x.

This is just changing the order of the numbers to get the same equation....\

So for example if I have 2+7 and I use the property of addition It would give me 2+7=7+2.

Pls mark brainliest if this helped!

a plastering contractor charges $18 per square yard( that is $2 per square foot). what is the cost of plastering 100 feet of wal
Tomtit [17]
Basically, this problem is going to require you to solve for the area and multiply it with the given cost unit.

Area = Length*Height
Area = 100 ft * 8 ft = 800 ft²

Total Cost = (Unit Cost)(Area)
Total Cost = ($2/ft²)(800 ft²)
<em>Total Cost = $1,600</em>

A car leaving a stop sign accelerates...what is the average speed of the car, in feet per second, equation d=1.1t^2 average spee
spayn [35]

Answer:

10.27 feet/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance traveled by the car, d in feet, is given by the function d = 1.1t^{2} .......... (1), where t is the time in seconds.

So, at t= 2 sec, from equation (1) we get d = 1.1 × 4 = 4.4 feet.

Again, at t = 5 sec, we get d = 1.1 × 32 = 35.2 feet.

Now, average speed of the car from t = 2 sec. to t = 5 sec. will be give by

\frac{\textrm {Total distance traveled}}{\textrm {Total time spent}}

= \frac{35.2 - 4.4}{5 - 2} = 10.27 feet/sec. (Answer)
