Let Kamil get x. Therefore Sean would get (x + 56).

Kamil and Sean are in the ratio: 3:5

That means: x : (x + 56) = 3 : 5

x / (x + 56) = 3/5

5*x = 3*(x + 56)

5x = 3*x + 3*56

5x = 3x + 168

5x - 3x = 168

2x = 168

x = 168 / 2

x = 84

Therefore Kamil had, x = 84, and Sean had (x + 56) = 84 + 56 = 140

Kamil had $84 and Sean had $140

B. 8 is the answer.

Simplify to 2^4^(3/4) then 2^3 then that simplies to 8

An electrical engineer wishes to compare the mean lifetimes of two types of transistors in an application involving high-tempera

Olin [163]

Answer:

(115.2642, 222.7358).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

type A: n_1=60, xbar_1=1827, s_1=168

type B: n_2=180, xbar_2=1658, s_2=225

n_1 = sample size 1, n_2= sample size 2

xbar_1, xbar_2 are mean life of sample 1 and 2 respectively. Similarly, s_1 and s_2 are standard deviation of 1,2.

a=0.05, |Z(0.025)|=1.96 (from the standard normal table)

So 95% CI is

(xbar_1 -xbar_2) ± Z×√[s1^2/n1 + s2^2/n2]

=(1827-1658) ± 1.96×sqrt(168^2/60 + 225^2/180)

= (115.2642, 222.7358).

What is 6 (5x + 2y) -3 (2x + 3y) ?

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

=24x+3y

Step-by-step explanation:

6(5x+2y)−3(2x+3y)

Distribute:

=(6)(5x)+(6)(2y)+(−3)(2x)+(−3)(3y)

=30x+12y+−6x+−9y

Combine Like Terms:

=30x+12y+−6x+−9y

=(30x+−6x)+(12y+−9y)

=24x+3y

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, look at the graph below and determine the value of k.

Anton [14]

Answer:

Given the graph $f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x -2$ and $g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 3$

We have to find the value of k;

Since, g(x) = f(x) +k

$\frac{1}{3}x+3 = \frac{1}{3}x-2 +k$

Subtract $\frac{1}{3}x$ from both sides we get;

$3 = -2 +k$

Add 2 to both sides we get;

$3+2 = -2 +k +2$

Simplify:

$5 = k$

or

k = 5

Therefore, the value of k = 5
