A scientist wishes to estimate the mean breaking strength of a certain type of steel rod within 3.0 psi with 95% confidence. Bas

ed on experience with a similar type of steel, she believes the standard deviation is approximately 15.0 psi in individual breaking strengths. How many steel rods should she test?

Answer:97 rods

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of steel rods for 95% confidence level

n=\left ( \frac{Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}\times \hat{\sigma }}{E} \right )^2

Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}=1.96

E=3

\hat{\sigma }=15

Substituting values

n=\left ( \frac{1.96\times 15}{3}\right )^2

n=96.04\approx 97

Thus 97 rods is tested

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Left

When a square = a linear, always expand the squared expression.

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 3x - 5                Subtract 3x from both sides

x^2 - 2x - 3x + 1 = -5

x^2 - 5x +1 = - 5                      Add 5 to both sides

x^2 - 5x + 1 + 5 = -5 + 5

x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0

This factors

(x - 2)(x - 3)

So one solution is x = 2 and the other is x = 3

Second from the Left

i = sqrt(-1)

i^2 = - 1

i^4 = (i^2)(i^2)

i^4 = - 1 * -1

i^4 = 1

16(i^4) - 8(i^2) + 4

16(1) - 8(-1) + 4

16 + 8 + 4

28

Second from the Right

This one is rather long. I'll get you the equations, you can solve for a and b. Maybe not as long as I think.

12 = 8a + b

<u>17 = 12a + b         Subtract</u>

-5 = - 4a

a = - 5/-4 = 1.25

12 = 8*1.25 + b

12 = 10 + b

b = 12 - 10

b = 2

Now they want a + b

a + b = 1.25 + 2 = 3.25

Right

One of the ways to do this is to take out the common factor. You could also expand the square and remove the brackets of (2x - 2). Both will give you the same answer. I think expansion might be easier for you to understand, but the common factor method is shorter.

(2x - 2)^2 = 4x^2 - 8x + 4

4x^2 - 8x + 4 - 2x + 2

4x^2 - 10x + 6    The problem is factoring since neither of the first two equations work.

(2x - 2)(2x - 3)     This is correct.

So the answer is D

I NEED ASAP:<br> What is the value of x?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-20+6x+8=180 set the equations together and to equal 180 since a line is 180 degrees

Get the variables together

10x-20+6x+8=180

-6x       -6x

4x-20+8=180

add together -20 and 8

4x-12=180

add -12 on each side

4x-12=180

   +12  +12

4x=192

divide all by 4

x=48
