4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute -1 into all of the formulas, if both sides are equal, then it is correct, for C:

2(x-2)+6 = 0, sub -1

2(-1-2)+6=0, simplify and work out

2(-3)+6=0

-6+6=0

0=0

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The 7 angles listed have a total of 946 degrees. The total interior angle measure in an octagon is 1080 degrees. So, the remaining angle must have a measure of 134°. The figure is entirely feasible.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

OleMash [197]

ANSWER

$x=1.39$ to the nearest hundredth.

EXPLANATION

We have the equation,

$0=2x^2+3x-8$

Which can be rewritten as

$2x^2+3x-8=0$

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.

Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$a=2,b=3,c=-8$

The quadratic formula is given by;

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We now substitute all the values in to the formula;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-8)}}{2(2)}$

We simplify to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}$

We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This implies that;

$x=-2.89$

$x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This will evaluate to;

$x=1.39$

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

$x \approx 1.39$

For a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100, what is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

475.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100. We are asked to find the minimum score that is necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution.

We will use z-score formula and normal distribution table to solve our given problem.

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