Answer:

Discriminant = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We use formula to find the discriminant.

Discriminant (D) = b^2 - 4ac

The given equation is x^2 - 6x + 4 = 0.

Here the value of a = 1, b = -6 and c = 4.

Plug in the given values in the formula, we get

Discriminant (D) = (-6)^2 - 4*1*4

= 36 - 16

Discriminant = 20

Thank you.

Past experience has indicated that the breaking strength of yarn used in manufacturing drapery material is normally distributed

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 11.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

$df = 11-1 = 10$ .

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level $\alpha$ and divide by 2. So:

$\frac{1-0.95}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 10 and 0.025 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have $T = 1.812$

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

$s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{11}} = 1.2060$

Now, we multiply T and s

$M = Ts = 1.812*1.2060 = 2.19/tex]For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the sample mean by M. So the lower end of the interval here is[tex]L = 97 - 2.19 = 94.81 = 94.8$ cm

For the upper end of the interval, we add the sample mean and M. So the upper end of the interval here is

$L = 97 + 2.19 = 99.19 = 99.2$ cm

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm).

Solve the equation: -6p + 14 and 3p - 2

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

p = 16/9

Step-by-step explanation:

$-6p+14=3p-2\qquad\text{subtract 14 from both sides}\\\\-6p=3p-16\qquad\text{subtract 3p from both sides}\\\\-9p=-16\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-9)}\\\\\boxed{p=\dfrac{16}{9}\to p=1\dfrac{7}{9}}$

Help this makes no sense to me and its due in 1 day

Ganezh [65]

First we can find the line RT which is the square root of 40^2-32^2 which is equal to 24.

RT=24

Right Triangle Altitude Theorem Part: The measure of the altitude drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to its hypotenuse is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.

The geometric mean of 32 and TS is 24, so set up equation.

2nd root or square root of 32*TS=24

32*TS=576

TS=18

QS=18+32=50

I hope this answer helped if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments.

I need help with these two trigonometry problems.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$B \approx 32.1\°; A \approx 39.0\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine theorem: in any triangle, the ratio between a side and the sine of the opposite angle is constant

$\frac{sin\ \alpha}a = \frac{sin\ \beta}b =\frac{sin\ \gamma}c$

In our case, for the left triangle,

$\frac {sin\ 103\°}{11} =\frac{sin\ B} 6 \rightarrow sin\ B = \frac6{11} sin\ 103\°$

Time to grab a calculator and crunch numbers. Double check your calculator is in degrees and not in radians (plug in sin 30°, if you're getting 0.5 you're good) and you will get

$sin\ B \approx 0.53 \rightarrow B \approx 32.1\°$

Same difference with the right triangle. With the same calculations

$sin\ A = \frac{26}{41} sin 83\° \approx 0.68 \rightarrow A \approx 39.0\°$
