Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are 6 and 2x, then:

  • 1/6 + 1/(2x) = 7/24
  • 1/3 + 1/x = 7/12
  • (x+3)/(3x) = 7/12
  • 12(x+3) = 7*3x
  • 12x + 36 = 21x
  • 21x - 12x = 36
  • 9x = 36
  • x = 4

The other number is 2*4 = 8

Iq scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
bearhunter [10]

Mean is \mu=100 and a standard deviation is \sigma =15, then the variable X\sim N(100,15^2).

Use substitution

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma},\\  \\ Z=\dfrac{X-100}{15}.

This substitution gives you that Z\sim N(0,1).

a. For X=130, Z=\dfrac{130-100}{15}=2 and Pr(X>130)=Pr(Z>2) =0.9772 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).

b. For X=90, Z=\dfrac{90-100}{15}=-\dfrac{2}{3} and for X=110, Z=\dfrac{110-100}{15}=\dfrac{2}{3}. Then Pr(90 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).

Divide -3x^3-2x^2-x-2 by x-2
Rasek [7]

Let's do this by Briot-Ruffini


First: Find the monomial root


x - 2 = 0

x = 2


Second: Allign this root with all the other coeficients from equation

Equation = -3x³ - 2x² - x - 2

Coeficients = -3, -2, -1, -2

2 | -3 -2 -1 -2


Copy the first coeficient


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3


Multiply him by the root and sum with the next coeficient


2.(-3) = -6

-6 + (-2) = -8


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8


Do the same


2.(-8) = -16

-16 + (-1) = -17


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8 -17


The same,


2.(-17) = -34

-34 + (-2) = -36


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8 -17 -36


Now you just need to put the "x" after all these numbers with one exponent less, see


2 | -3x³ - 2x² - 1x - 2

-3x² - 8x - 17 -36


You may be asking what exponent -36 should be, and I say:


None or the monomial. He's like the rest of this division, so you can say:


(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 with rest -36 or you can say:

(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 - 36/(x - 2)


Just divide the rest by the monomial.

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\

5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k-5=0:\quad k=5\\\\k =5 , k=-3
