The product of three integers x, x+2, and x-5 is 240. What are the integers?

Answer:

  8, 10, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding real solutions to cubic equations and those of higher degree, I find a graphing calculator to be useful. The problem can be cast in the form ...

  f(x) = 0

where f(x) is the difference between the product of the integers and 240:

  f(x) = x(x +2)(x -5) -240

Then all we need to do is ask the calculator to show the x-intercept. It is x=8.

So, the three integers are ...

  • x = 8
  • x+2 = 10
  • x -5 = 3

A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 27 weeks
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

X ~ N(27, 4) ;

xbar ~ N(27, 0.1026) ;

0.5 ;

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability distribution of X : N(μ, σ²)

μ = 27 ; σ = 2

X ~ N(μ, σ²) = X ~ N(27, 2²) ;X ~ N(27, 4)

Distribution is approximately normal ; μ = xbar ; xbar = 27

(Standard Error)² = (σ/√n)²= (2/√39)² = 0.1026

xbar ~ N(μ, σ²) = xbar ~ N(27, 2²) ; xbar ~ N(27, 0.1026)

Probability that a randomly selected individual found a job in less than 27 weeks :

P(X < 27) :

Obtain the Zscore :

Z = (x - μ) / σ

Z = (27 - 27) / 2 = 0/2

Z = 0

P(Z < 0) = 0.5

D.) n = 36

P(X < 27) :

Obtain the Zscore :

Z = (x - μ) / σ/√n

Z = (27 - 27) / (2/√36) = 0/0.33333

Z = 0

P(Z < 0) = 0.5

Can someone help me round 621x29
wlad13 [49]

Your rounded number is 18010

The reason for this is because when you multiply 621X29, you get 18009. When you round numbers, you want to see how the numbers are. If a number is 4 or below, you will make that number a zero or not count it, whereas numbers above 5 will go up. I hope this helps and if you have any questions, let me know
