Answer:

The man covers 200 ft in 40 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A person is moving on the sidewalk from one end to the other end.

He walks 40 feet in 8 seconds.

Therefore his speed = \frac{distance covered}{time}

                                   = \frac{40}{8}

                                   = 5 ft/s^{2}

He covers the sidewalk distance at a rate of 5 feet every second.

To calculate the time taken to cover 200 ft,

time = \frac{distance to be covered}{speed}

time =\frac{200}{5}

<u>time  = 40 seconds</u>

Hence the man covers 200 ft in 40 seconds.

Let a and b be roots of x² - 4x + 2 = 0. find the value of a/b² +b/a²​
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

\dfrac{a}{b^2}+\dfrac{b}{a^2}=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:   x^2-4x+2=0

The roots of the given quadratic equation are the values of x when y=0.

To find the roots, use the quadratic formula:

x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0

Therefore:

a=1, \quad b=-4, \quad c=2

\begin{aligned}\implies x & =\dfrac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(2)}}{2(1)}\\& =\dfrac{4 \pm \sqrt{8}}{2}\\& =\dfrac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{2}}{2}\\& =2 \pm \sqrt{2}\end{aligned}

\textsf{Let }a=2+\sqrt{2}

\textsf{Let }b=2-\sqrt{2}

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}\implies \dfrac{a}{b^2}+\dfrac{b}{a^2} & = \dfrac{2+\sqrt{2}}{(2-\sqrt{2})^2}+\dfrac{2-\sqrt{2}}{(2+\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\& = \dfrac{2+\sqrt{2}}{6-4\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{2-\sqrt{2}}{6+4\sqrt{2}}\\\\& = \dfrac{(2+\sqrt{2})(6+4\sqrt{2})+(2-\sqrt{2})(6-4\sqrt{2})}{(6-4\sqrt{2})(6+4\sqrt{2})}\\\\& = \dfrac{12+8\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{2}+8+12-8\sqrt{2}-6\sqrt{2}+8}{36+24\sqrt{2}-24\sqrt{2}-32}\\\\& = \dfrac{40}{4}\\\\& = 10\end{aligned}

Find the p​-value in a test of the claim that the mean College Algebra final exam score of engineering majors equal to​ 88, give
Orlov [11]

Answer: 0.9332.

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim : College Algebra final exam score of engineering majors equal to​ 88.

Given that : The  test statistic is z equals to 1.50.

To find the  p​-value (Probability value), we use standard normal distribution table, and search the p-value corresponds to the z-score.

In a Standard Normal Distribution Table below, the p-value corresponds z equals 1.5 is 0.9332.

Hence, the p​-value is  0.9332.
