Set the function equal to zero and solve for x. 0=x^2+4x+12 factors to 0=(x-2)(x+6) which gives you intercepts of x=2 or -6.

The entrance hall in Black's family house has a perimeter of 71 2/3 ft.IF it is 9 2/5 ft wide, how long is it?
serious [3.7K]

Answer: 26 13/30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The hall is in the shape of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

= 2(length + width)

= 2l + 2w

Since perimeter = 71 2/3 ft and Width = 9 2/5 ft wide, the length will be calculated thus:

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

71⅔ = 2l + 2(9 2/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + (2 × 47/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + 94/5

71 2/3 = 2l + 18 4/5

Collect like terms

2l = 71 2/3 - 18 4/5

2l = 71 10/15 - 18 12/15

2l = 52 13/15

l = (52 13/15 ÷ 2)

l = 793/15 × 1/2

l = 793/30

l = 26 13/30

Therefore, the length is 26 13/30ft

What does 49.39 round to.
Verizon [17]
If you want to round 49.39 to the nearest tenths place you will have to look at your tenths digit. The digit is 3, right? Look at the next number after 3. It is the number 9 for the hundredths place. If the number is bigger than 5 you round it. If it is smaller, you keep it the same. 9 is bigger than 5 so you make the 3 into a 4. Then, you're answer is 49.4 or 49.40 (Which are basically the same answer) It also works the same with the other digits. Simple, right? :)

Simplify your answer
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

<h2><u>0</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2u-6=4, let's solve for u.

Add 6 to both sides

2u-6+6 = 4+6

Simplify

2u = 10

Divide both sides by 2

u = 5

Now, we can solve u-5

5-5 = 0

The proportion of U.S. births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Control a
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Probability that at least 490 do not result in birth defects = 0.1076

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The proportion of U.S. births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A local hospital randomly selects five births and lets the random variable X count the number not resulting in a defect. Assume the births are independent.

To find - If 500 births were observed rather than only 5, what is the approximate probability that at least 490 do not result in birth defects

Proof -

Given that,

P(birth that result in a birth defect) = 1/33

P(birth that not result in a birth defect) = 1 - 1/33 = 32/33

Now,

Given that, n = 500

X = Number of birth that does not result in birth defects

Now,

P(X ≥ 490) = \sum\limits^{500}_{x=490} {^{500} C_{x} } (\frac{32}{33} )^{x} (\frac{1}{33} )^{500-x}

                 = {^{500} C_{490} } (\frac{32}{33} )^{490} (\frac{1}{33} )^{500-490}  + .......+ {^{500} C_{500} } (\frac{32}{33} )^{500} (\frac{1}{33} )^{500-500}

                = 0.04541 + ......+0.0000002079

                = 0.1076

⇒Probability that at least 490 do not result in birth defects = 0.1076
