Remark
It's a right triangle so the Pythagorean Theorem applies. All you have to do is put the right things in the right places of the formula.

Givens
a = x
b = x + 4
c = 20

Formula and Substitution.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (x + 4)^2 = 20^2

Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20  Subtract 20 from both sides.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 - 20 = 0  
2x^2 + 8x - 4 = 0         Divide through by 2
x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0

Use the quadratic formula
a = 1
b = 4
c = - 2

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} 
 
\text{x = }\dfrac{ -4 \pm \sqrt{4^{2} + 4(1)(2) } }{2} 


From which x = (-4 +/- sqrt(24) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- sqrt(4*6) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- 2 sqrt(6) ) / 2
x1 = -2 + sqrt(6)
x2 = -2 - sqrt(6)  This is an extraneous root. No line can be minus.

x1 = + 0.4495
x2 = x + 4 = 4.4495

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

- A researcher is interested in determining whether a large aerospace firm is guilty of gender bias in setting wages.

According to the given info the difference in means test is too limited because it does not include the type of engineer, education level or experience. The gender with lower wages of might be reflected in the type of engineer or education level.

The research could be improved using additional data on the factors namely gender, education, education and the type of engineer.

Then, further it is recommended to construct a multiple regression where the dependent variable is a wage and the four factors are independent variables. The importance of the omited variable by the means of that the "difference in means" test in unsuitable for determining the gender bias in setting wages.
