Solve x^2 - 4 = 77.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

X = 9 or x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the quadratic equation

{x}^{2}  - 4 = 77

We shall use the square root method

Let us add 4 to both sides to get:

{x}^{2}  - 4 + 4 = 77 + 4

{x}^{2}  = 81

We take square to get:

x =  \pm \sqrt{81}

x =  \pm9

The solution is x=9 or -9

What is 7 / 2/3 in simplest form
galina1969 [7]

To do this we have to do 7 divided by 2/3

The first step to dividing fractions is to turn it into a mutipuacation  sentence

7x2/3

Now we want to flip the second fraction over or make it a reciprocal

Our new equation is

7x 3/2 which is equal to 21/2

There are two ways. You may simplify it to 10 1/2 or just leave it as it is

hope this helped!! If you have questions, feel free to ask

Mrs. Jones is building wooden picture frames. She has 1 5/8 of wood and needs 3/4 for each frame. How many frames can she make w
jonny [76]

Answer:

2\frac{1}{6}\ frames

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many frames she can  make with the exiting material, divide 1 5/8 by 3/4

so

1\frac{5}{8}:\frac{3}{4}

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1*8+5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}

substitute

\frac{13}{8}:\frac{3}{4}=\frac{52}{24}\ frames

Simplify

\frac{13}{6}\ frames

Convert to mixed number

\frac{13}{6}\ frames=\frac{12}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}\ frames

Suppose we are interested in analyzing the weights of NFL players. We know that on average, NFL players weigh 247 pounds with a
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58

ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073

\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927

\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073

n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 247  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu  

z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can't conclude that the true mean is lower than 247 at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

\bar X =237 represent the sample mean

\sigma = 47 represent the population deviation

n =30 represent the sample size selected

\mu_0 = 247 represent the value that we want to test.

The standard error for this case is given by:

SE= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 8.58

For the 90% confidence the value of the significance is given by \alpha=1-0.9 = 0.1 and \alpha/2 = 0.05 so we can find in the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.05 of the area on each tail and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 1.64

And the margin of error would be:

ME= 1.64 *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.64*\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}= 14.073

The confidence interval for this case would be given by:

\bar X - ME = 237- 14.073 = 222.927

\bar X + ME = 237+ 14.073 = 251.073

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

Replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.640(47)}{5})^2 =237.65 \approx 238

So the answer for this case would be n=238 rounded up to the nearest integer

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is lower than 247 pounds, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 247  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{237-247}{\frac{47}{\sqrt{30}}}=-1.165  

P-value  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can't conclude that the true mean is lower than 247 at 10% of significance.

Convert 12°34'56” to decimal degree form. Round your answer<br> to four decimal places.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

12.57555 rounded to 12.5756

Step-by-step explanation:

34'=34*1/60=0.56°

56''=56/1/3600=0.01555°

12°+0.56°+0.01555°=12.57555°
