Recall that A = 1/2bh. We are given that h = 4+2b So, putting it all together: 168 = 1/2 b(4+2b) 168 = 1/2(4b + 2b^2) 168 = 2b + b^2 b^2 + 2b - 168 = 0. Something that multiplies to -168 and adds to 2? There's a trick to this. Notice 13^2 = 169. So, it's more than likely in the middle of the two numbers we're trying to find. So let's try 12 and 14. Yep. 12 x 14 = 168. So this factors into (b+14)(b-12) So b = -14 or b =12. Is it possible to have a negative length on a base? No. So 12 must be our answer. Let's check this. If 12 is our base, then according to our problem, 2*12 + 4 would be our height... or 28. so what is 12 * 28 /2? 196. Check. Hope this helped!

X=base 
(2x+4)=height
Area of a triangle=(base x height)/2
We can suggest this inequality:

x(2x+4)/2<168
x(2x+4)<336
2x²+4x<336
2x²+4x-336<0
x²+2x-168<0

1) we change the inequality sign of inequality by equality sign.
x²+2x-168=0
x=[-2⁺₋√(4+672)] / 2
x=(-2⁺₋√676)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(-2-√676)/2=-14
x₂=(-2⁺√676)/2=12

2) we make intervals with these values.
(-∞, -14<span> )
</span><span>(-14,12)
</span>(12, +∞)

3) we check  it out if these intervals work
(-∞,-14), For instead; if x=-15⇒ (-15)²+2(-15)-168=27>0. this solution interval don´t work.

(-14,12), For example; if x=1 ⇒(-1)²+2(1)-168=-168<0 this solution interval works.
but the solutions have to be always positive numbers, therefore, the solution is:  (0,12).

(12,+∞) , For example, if x=13 ⇒ (13)²+2(13)-168=27>0, this solution  interval don´t work.

Answer: the inequality is : <span>x(2x+4)/2<168, and the interval solution is (0,12) for the values of the base. </span>

Answer:

110

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagorean theorm

c^2 = a^2 + b^22

610^2  = 600^2 + b^2

372100 = 360000 + b^2

b^2 = 12100

b = 110

Test the hypothesis using the P value approach. Be sure the verify the requirements of the test.
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

p_v =2*P(z  

If we compare the p value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is not significantly different from 0.77.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=500 represent the random sample taken

X=380 represent the number of people with some characteristic

\hat p=\frac{380}{500}=0.76 estimated proportion of adults that said that it is morally wrong to not report all income on tax returns

p_o=0.76 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is 0.7 .:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.77  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.77  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

<em>Check for the assumptions that he sample must satisfy in order to apply the test </em>

a)The random sample needs to be representative: On this case the problem no mention about it but we can assume it.

b) The sample needs to be large enough

np_o =500*0.77=385>10

n(1-p_o)=384*(1-0.77)=115>10

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.76-0.77}{\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{500}}}=-0.531  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

If we compare the p value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is not significantly different from 0.77.

What is greater 3 x 1/10 plus 4 x 1/100 plus 8x 1/1000 greater than one and two tenths
Elena L [17]
So, first let's change these numbers into decimal form:
3*0.1 + 4*0.01 + 8*0.001 ? 1.2
Multiply:
0.3 + 0.04 + 0.008 ? 1.2
0.348 < 1.2
One and two tenths is larger.
Hopefully this is what you're asking, as this question is unclear
