The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. if a triangle has one side that is 8
BartSMP [9]

1st Side: 8

2nd Side: 2x - 1

3rd Side: x

(8) + (2x - 1) > x            (2x - 1) + x > 8                        (x) + (8) > 2x - 1

       2x + 7 > x                     3x - 1 > 8                                8  > x - 1

            2x > -7                         3x > 9                                9  > x

             x > -3.5 (disregard)       x > 3                                 x < 9

3rd Side: x  ⇒ (3 < x < 9)

2nd Side: 2x - 1 ⇒ 2(3) - 1 < x < 2(9) - 1   ⇒   5 < x < 17

Answer: the 3rd side must be between 3 and 9, the 2nd side must be between 5 and 17

Skylar is answering the following math problem: The value of an investment decreased by 10%. The original amount of the investme
Alona [7]

Answer:

The given parameters of the investment are;

The rate of decrease of the investment, r = -10%

The original amount of the investment, P = $75.00

Let 'A' represent the final answer (value of the investment) after the decrease in the investment, 'r', is applied, we have;

The algebraic equation that can be used to arrive at the final answer, 'A', is given as follows;

A = P + r·P

Therefore by substituting the given values, we have;

A = $75.00 + (-10/100) × $75.00 = $75.00 - 0.1 × $75.00 = $75.00 - $7.50

A = $75.00 - $7.50 = $67.50

The final amount or answer, A = $67.50

Genetic Defects Data indicate that a particular genetic defect occurs in of every children. The records of a medical clinic show
Dovator [93]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The probability that there exist 60 or more defected children is P(x \ge 60)=0.0901

Looking at the value for this probability we see that it is not so small to the point that the observation of this kind would be a rare occurrence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

        in every 1000 children a particular genetic defect occurs to 1

        The number of sample selected is n= 50,000

The probability of observing the defect is mathematically evaluated as

              p = \frac{1}{1000}

                 = 0.001

The probability of not observing the defect is mathematically evaluated as

            q = 1-p

               = 1-0.001

               = 0.999

The mean of this probability is mathematically represented as

                 \mu = np

Substituting values

                \mu = 50000*0.001

                    = 50

The standard deviation of this probability is mathematically represented as

   \sigma = \sqrt{npq}

Substituting values

      = \sqrt{50000 * 0.001 * 0.999}

     = \sqrt{49.95}

     = 7.07

 the probability of detecting  x  \ge60 defects can be represented in as  normal distribution like

       P(x \ge 60)

in standardizing the normal distribution the normal area used to approximate P(x \ge 60) is the right of 59.5 instead of 60 because  x= 60 is part of the observation

The z -score is obtained mathematically as

                z = \frac{x-\mu }{\sigma }

                   = \frac{59.5 - 50 }{7.07}

                  =1.34

The area to the left of z = 1.35 on the standardized normal distribution curve is 0.9099 obtained from the z-table shown z value to the left of the standardized normal curve

Note: We are looking for the area to the right i.e 60 or more

  The total area under the curve is 1

So

    P(x \ge 60) \approx P(z > 1.34)

                     = 1-P(z \le 1.34)

                    =1-0.9099

                  =0.0901

What expression is equivalent to 3(6x-2)+2(x+5)
katen-ka-za [31]
3(6x-2)+ 2(x+5)
= 3*(6x)-3*2 +2x +2*5 (distributive property)
= 18x -6 +2x +10
= (18x +2x) +(10-6)
= 20x +4

The final answer is 20x+4.

Hope this helps~
