What is x2-4x=2x+24 equal to 0

1 answer:

3 0

Make equal to zero
x^2-4x=2x+24
minus 2x both sides
x^2-4x-2x=24
minus 24
x^2-6x-24=0
comlpete the square
isolate x^2 and x term
(x^2-6x)-24=0
take 1/2 of -6 and square it (-6/2=-3 (-3)^2=9) and add to both sides inside parethaes
(x^2-6x+9)-24=9
factor perfect square
(x-3)^2-24=9
add 24 both sides
(x-3)^2=33
sqrt both sides
x-3=+/-√33
add 3 to both sides
x=3+/-√33

x=3+√33 or 3-√33

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.

Let X = caller times at a customer service center

The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;

$f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} ; x > 0$

Here, $\lambda$ = exponential parameter

Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;

Mean = $\frac{1}{\lambda}$

So, $22=\frac{1}{\lambda}$ ⇒ $\lambda=\frac{1}{22}$

SO, X ~ Exp( $\lambda=\frac{1}{22}$ )

To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;

$P(X\leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}$ ; x > 0

Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)

P(X < 30) = $1 - e^{-\frac{1}{22} \times 30}$

= 1 - 0.2557

= 0.7443

steposvetlana [31]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $\overline{GH} \parallel \overline{DE}$ , by the corresponding angles theorem, $\angle FGH \cong \angle FDE, \angle FHG \cong \angle FED$ . This means $\triangle FGH \sim \triangle FDE$ by AA.

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{10}{x+3}=\frac{10+x}{12}\\(10)(12)=(10+x)(x+3)\\120=x^{2}+13x+30\\x^{2}+13x-90=0\\(x+18)(x-5)=0\\x=-18, 5$
However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.

Therefore, the answer is 5

A rectangular soccer field is twice as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of a soccer field is 300 yards, what are the fields'

Masteriza [31]

A rectangular soccer field is twice as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the soccer field is 300 yards , what are its dimensions?
I know the basic formula is 2W+2L=300 but i am not sure where to go from there...
-----
Equations:
2W + 2L = 300
L = 2W
----
Substitute for "L" and solve for "W":
2W + 2(2W) = 300
6W = 300
W = 50 yds (width)
----
Solve for "L":
L = 2W
L = 100 yds (length)
========================
Cheers.
