Answer:
x = 100
Step-by-step explanation:
The larger area is ...
A = LW
A = (300+x)(200+x) = x^2 +500x +60,000
The smaller area is ...
A = (200)(300) = 60,000
We want the larger area to be double the smaller area, so ...
x^2 +500x +60,000 = 2(60,000)
x^2 +500x = 60,000 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60,000
x^2 +500x + 62500 = 122500 . . . add 250^2 to complete the square
(x +250)^2 = 350^2
We're interested in the positive solution, so we can take the positive square root to find it:
x +250 = 350
x = 100 . . . . . . . . . subtract 250
_____
The graph shows the quadratic in the form x^2 +500x -60,000. That is, we're looking for zeros (x-intercepts) of the function.
The chemist needs 381.6 milliliters for their experiment.
Answer:
Top prism = 262 in.² Bottom prism = 478 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
top prism:
front + back: 5 x 3 = 15
sides: 19 x 4 x 2 = 152
bottom: 19 x 5 = 95
15 + 152 + 95 = 262
bottom prism:
front + back: 5 x 6 x 2 = 60
sides: 19 x 6 x 2 = 228
top + bottom: 19 x 5 x 2 = 190
60 + 228 + 190 = 478
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a study found that the average stopping distance of a school bus traveling 50 mph was 264 feet.
Sample taken showed the following results

Since population std deviation is known and sample size is large, z test can be used.

(Left tailed test)
Mean difference = 
Std error = 
Z = test statistic = mean diff/std error
= 
p value = 0.00017
Since p < alpha our 0.05 we reject null hypothesis
There is evidence to show that mean is less than 264 feet
(Assumptions:
Sample are randomly drawn
Sample represents the population
