Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

3x = x^2 -54

Subtract 3x

3x-3x = x^2 -3x-54

0 = x^2 -3x-54

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -54 and add to -3

-9*6 = -54

-9+6 = -3

0=(x-9) (x+6)

Using the zero product property

x-9=0 x+6=0

x=9 x=-6

The questions asks for the negative solution

x=-6

The 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α) % confidence interval for difference between two means is:

$CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2,(n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\times SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}$

Given:

$\bar x_{1}=M_{1}=6.1\\\bar x_{2}=M_{2}=4.9\\SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}=0.25$

Confidence level = 80%

$t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}=t_{0.20/2, (5+5-2)}=t_{0.10,8}=1.397$

*Use a t-table for the critical value.

Compute the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means as follows:

$CI=(6.1-4.9)\pm 1.397\times 0.25\\=1.2\pm 0.34925\\=(0.85075, 1.54925)\\\approx(0.85, 1.55)$

Thus, the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

Answer:

Gọi AH là đường cao kẻ từ A đến BC

Xét tam giác AHC vuông tại H

Suy ra AH = HC. cotA= 9.cot35° = 12,9

Xét tam giác AHB vuông tại H

Suy ra BH = AH.tanA = 12,9.tan61°=23,37

Ta có BC= HC+ HB= 9+23,27 =32,27

Diện tích tam giác ABC = 1/2 × AH ×BC= 1/2 ×12,9×32,27=208,1415
