The quotient of 24 and x equals 14 minus 2 times x
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 3, x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= 14 - 2x ( multiply through by x , x ≠ 0 )
24 = 14x - 2x² ( subtract 14x - 2x² from both sides )
2x² - 14x + 24 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )
x² - 7x + 12 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Answer:
x = - 3 ±
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4x² + 24x = 4 ( divide through by 4 )
x² + 6x = 1
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 1 + 9
(x + 3)² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
Answer:
700 lbs and 3.742
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 particle per pound.
a) To get 14 particles of contamination we must have
expected number of pounds =
b) Since for 700 pounds particles expected are 14 we can say in a Poisson distribution mean and variance are equal
i.e. Var (700 lbs to obtain 14 particles of contamination ) = 14
Std deviation =
