Answer:

(x+1)^2 = 49

x = 6 x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x – 48 = 0

Add 48 to each side

x^2 + 2x =48

Take the coefficient of x

Divide by 2

2/2=1

Square it

1^2 =1

x^2 + 2x +1=48+1

x^2 +2x+1 = 49

(x+1)^2 = 49

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+1)^2) =±sqrt( 49)

x+1 = ±7

Subtract 1 from each side

x+1-1 = -1 ±7

x = -1+7 x = -1 -7

x = 6 x = -8

The volume V (in cubic feet) of a right cylinder with a height of 3 feet and radius r (in feet) is given by V=3πr2. Solve the fo

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{V}{3\pi}}\\\\r\approx 5.00\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

-The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:

$V=3\pi r^2$

#We make r the subject of the formula:

$V=3\pi r^2\\\\r^2=\frac{V}{3\pi}\\\\r=\sqrt{\frac{V}{3\pi}}$

#We then substitute for the stated volume and solve for r:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{V}{3\pi}}, V=236\\\\\therefore r=r=\sqrt{\frac{236}{3\pi}}\\\\r=5.00404\approx\ 5.00\ ft$

Hence, the cylinder's radius is approximately 5.00 ft

A triangle has the coordinates of A (1,2), B (4,6), and C (4,-3). If the triangle is translated 2 units right, what are the new

yaroslaw [1]

A'(3, 2 ), B'(6, 6 ),C'(6, - 3 )

A translation of 2 units right is equivalent to adding 2 to the x- coordinate with no change to the y- coordinate.

A(1, 2 ) → A'(1 + 2, 2 ) → A'(3, 2 )

B(4, 6 ) → B'( 4 + 2, 6 ) → B'(6, 6 )

C(4, - 3 ) → B'(4 + 2, - 3 ) → B'(6, - 3 )

Assume that the weights of spawning Chinook salmon in the Columbia river are normally distributed. You randomly catch and weigh

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: The point estimate for the mean weight of all spawning Chinook salmon in the Columbia River is the mean weight from your sample $(\overline{x})$ = 31.2 pounds .

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights of spawning Chinook salmon in the Columbia river are normally distributed.

Given : The mean weight from your sample is 31.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 4.4 pounds.

The point estimate for the mean $(\mu)$ weight of all spawning Chinook salmon in the Columbia River is the mean weight from your sample $(\overline{x})$ i.e. is 31.2 pounds because the best point estimate for population mean is the sample mean. [in normal distribution]
