4(4) -4 = 16-4 = 12
She was wrong because she thought that x= 6

The error is 20 is not the answer for 16-4

3. What is wrong with the following statement? If d/e = f, then d multiplied by f = e.f should be divided by e.F and e should be

Molodets [167]

the initial statement is:

$\frac{d}{e}=f$

and then:

$d\cdot f=e$

So the second statement is false because f should be multiply by e, not by d so is option C)

A student solved 6x+4=2(x−8) in four steps as shown:

mr_godi [17]

The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.

1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16

2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16

3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12

4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3

To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

boyakko [2]

Answer:

(7√6)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The side ratios in these special triangles are ...

30°-60°-90° triangle: 1 : √3 : 2

45°-45°-90° triangle: 1 : 1 : √2

This tells you the length of the horizontal line is 7√3, and the value of x is ...

(7√3)/√2 = (7√6)/2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Call the length of the horizontal line "y". Then the given ratios tell you ...

7 : y = 1 : √3 ⇒ y/7 = √3/1 ⇒ y = 7√3

and

x : y = 1 : √2 ⇒ x/y = 1/√2 ⇒ x = y/√2

When we rationalize the denominator, we get ...

x = (y√2)/2 = ((7√3)√2)/2 = (7√6)/2

g If the economy improves, a certain stock stock will have a return of 23.4 percent. If the economy declines, the stock will hav

dusya [7]

Answer:

$E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%$

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2$

And replacing we got:

$Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105$

And finally the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable of interest X as the return from a stock and we know the following conditions:

$X_1 = 23.4 , P(X_1) =0.67$ represent the result if the economy improves

$X_2 = -11.9 , P(X_1) =0.33$ represent the result if we have a recession

We want to find the standard deviation for the returns on the stock. We need to begin finding the mean with this formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And replacing the data given we got:

$E(X) = 23.4* 0.67 -11.9*0.33= 11.759 \%$

Now we can find the second central moment with this formula:

$E(X^2) = \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) = (23.4)^2* 0.67 +(-11.9)^2*0.33= 413.5965$

And the variance is given by:

$Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2$

And replacing we got:

$Var(X) = 413.5965 -(11.759)^2 =275.5105$

And finally the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) = \sqrt{275.5105}= 16.599 \%$
