Solve for x: |2x 6| − 4 = 20

1 answer:

7 0

| 2x + 6| - 4 = 20 has two absolute values
solution 1
2x + 6 - 4 = 20 --> 2x + 2 = 20 --> 2x = 18 --> x = 9
2 (9) + 6 - 4 = 24- 4 = 20 ✔
solution 2
2x - 6 - 4 = 20 --> 2x - 10 = 20 --> 2x = 10 --> x = 5
2 (5) - 6 - 4 = 10- 10 = 0

A medical researcher claims that 10 % of children suffer from a certain disorder. Identify the type I error for the test.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

D: Reject the claim that the percentage of children who suffer from the disorder is equal to 10% when that percentage is actually 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, type I error is when we reject the null hypothesis even when it is true.

Now, the claim which is the null hypothesis is that that 10 % of children suffer from a certain disorder.

This means that a type I error will be;

Reject the claim that the percentage of children who suffer from the disorder is equal to 10% when that percentage is actually 10%.

Let w=width and 4 + w=

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Part 1 : $w^2+4w-60=0$

Part 2 :

w=6

l = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

Let the width of the rectangle = w

Length of the rectangle = w + 4

Area of the rectangle is given as

60 Sq Yrds

$60=w(w+4)$

$60=w^2+4w$

$w^2+4w-60=0$

Hence this expression represents the area of the rectangle. Solving which for w will give us the width of the rectangle.

Part 2:

(w+10)(w-6)= 0

either (w+10) = 0

(w-6)=0

or both are zero

(w+10) = 0 ⇒ w = -10

not possible as the dimension can not be 0

(w-6)=0 ⇒ w=6

Hence the width is 6 yards

And thus the length will be 6+4 = 10 yards
