What are the solutions to the equation x^2-8x=24

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago

x^{2} - 8x = 24

Transposing the equation to give zero on the RHS:
x^{2} - 8x - 24 = 0

Since we can't factorise it directly, we must complete the square to yield any solutions:
x^{2} - 8x + ( \frac{8}{2})^2 - (\frac{8}{2})^2 - 24 = 0
(x^{2} - 8x + 16) - 16 - 24 = 0
(x-4)^2 - 40 = 0
(x-4)^2 = 40
x-4 = +/- \sqrt{40} ––> because square rooting yields a positive and negative solution.
x = 4 +/- \sqrt{40}
x = 4 +/- 2 \sqrt{10}

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

Employees from A and company B receive annual bonuses. What information would you need to test the claim that the difference in
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

1. The required information are

The average annual bonuses, \bar {x}_1 received by employees from company A

The average annual bonuses, \bar {x}_2 received by employees from company B

The standard deviation, σ₁, of the average annual bonuses for employees from company A

The standard deviation, σ₂, of the average annual bonuses for employees from company A

The number of employees in company A, n₁

The number of employees in company B, n₂

2. The null hypothesis is H₀: \bar {x}_1 - \bar {x}_2 ≤ 100

The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ: \bar {x}_1 - \bar {x}_2 > 100

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The required information are

The average annual bonuses, \bar {x}_1 received by employees from company A

The average annual bonuses, \bar {x}_2 received by employees from company B

The standard deviation, σ₁, of the average annual bonuses for employees from company A

The standard deviation, σ₂, of the average annual bonuses for employees from company A

The number of employees in company A, n₁

The number of employees in company B, n₂

2. The null hypothesis is H₀: \bar {x}_1 - \bar {x}_2 ≤ 100

The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ: \bar {x}_1 - \bar {x}_2 > 100

The z value for the hypothesis testing of the difference between two means is given as follows;

z=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\frac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}

At 0.5 level of significance, the critical z_\alpha = ± 0

The rejection region is z > z_\alpha and z < -z_\alpha

Therefore, the value of z obtained from the relation above more than or less than 0, we reject the null hypothesis, and we fail to reject the alternative hypothesis.

blondinia [14]

Answer: 90

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply the number of times the house played each opponent

Since They played each of their 15 opponents 3 times (keyword 3 Times so you don’t get confused again)

It would be 15x3=45 this answer “45” is the amount of games they played

Now you times it by 2

45x2= 90
