DF =DE + EF
4x-8 = x-4 + 2x+5
4x - 8 = 3x + 1
4x - 3x = 1 + 8
x = 9

Answer: The required value of x is 9.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that point E is between the points D and F.

Also, DE = x - 4, EF = 2x + 5 and DF = 4x - 8.

We are to find the value of x.

Since the point E lies between the points D and F, so we must have

$DE+EF=DF\\\\\Rightarrow (x-4)+(2x+5)=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+1=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3x=1+8\\\\\Rightarrow x=9.$

Thus, the required value of x is 9.

What are the solutions of 2x2 + 16x + 34 = 0?

Anni [7]

2x^2 + 16x + 34 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 17 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 16 = -17 + 16 = -1
(x + 4)^2 = -1
x + 4 = sqrt(-1) = ±i
x = -4 <span>±</span> i

Answer:

A sample of 18 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.92}{2} = 0.04$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.04 = 0.96$ , so Z = 1.88.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study indicated that the standard deviation was 2.2 days.

This means that $\sigma = 2.2$

How large a sample must be selected if the company wants to be 92% confident that the true mean differs from the sample mean by no more than 1 day?

This is n for which M = 1. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$1 = 1.88\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{n}}$

$\sqrt{n} = 1.88*2.2$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.88*2.2)^2$

$n = 17.1$

Rounding up:

A sample of 18 is required.

a bag of peaches has 3 more than 2 times the number of bananas in a bag of bananas. if there are 17 peaches in a bag, how many b

Harlamova29_29 [7]

this can be turned into an equation to be solved more easily. so the amount of bananas can be x. there are 17 peaches. So the equation would be:

(17 - 3) ÷ 2 = x

you begin with what's inside the parenthesis

17 - 3 = 14.

14 ÷2 = 7

x = 7

there are 7 bananas in the bag of bananas
