You can multiply 6x4-28 because when you multiply 6x4 you will get 24 and from that if u subtract 24-28 you will get -4

The length of a rectangle is 4 cm less than it’s width. If the area of the rectangle is 165 cm^2. What are the dimensions of the

Monica [59]

Answer:

The dimensions are 11 cm by 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = (length)(width).

Let L represent the length and W the width.

Since L = W - 4, we have

Area of rectangle = (W - 4)W = 165 cm^2.

Thus, w^2 - 4W - 165 = 0. We can solve for W using the quadratic formula:

a = 1, b = -4 and c = -165. Thus,

-(-4) ± √ [ (-4)² - 4(1)(-165) ]

W = ---------------------------------------

4 ± √ [16 + 660 ]

W = ------------------------------

4 ± √ [ 676 ] 4 ± 26

W = ----------------------- = W = ------------- = W = 2 ± 13

2 2

Thus, W is 2 + 13 = 15. It cannot be negative, so we discard 2 - 13 = -11.

If the width, W, is 15, then the length is 4 less, or L = 11.

The dimensions are 11 cm by 15 cm

Solve 12^x^2+5x-4 = 12^2x+6

faust18 [17]

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$12^{x^{2}+5 x-4}=12^{2 x+6}$

Since the base on both sides as ‘12’ are the same, we can write it as

$x^{2}+5 x-4=2 x+6$

$x^{2}+5 x-2 x-4-6=0$

$x^{2}+3 x-10=0$

Often, the value of x is easiest to solve by $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ by factoring a square factor, setting each factor to zero, and then isolating each factor. Whereas sometimes the equation is too awkward or doesn't matter at all, or you just don't feel like factoring.

The Quadratic Formula: For $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ , the values of x which are the solutions of the equation are given by:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Where, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -10

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-10)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9+40}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{49}}{2}=\frac{-3 \pm 7}{2}$

So, the solutions for ‘x’ are

$x=\frac{-3+7}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

$x=\frac{-3-7}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}=-5$

The solutions for ‘x’ are 2 and -5

The Stomping Elephants volleyball team plays 30 matches in a week-long tournament. On average, they win 4 out of every 6 matches

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The mean for the number of matches that they win in the tournament is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each match, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they win, or they do not. The probability of winning a match is independent from other matches. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
