Answer:

a couple of irrational numbers: -16±4√19, approximately {1.436, -33.436}

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question can be cast as the quadratic equation

x² +32x -48 = 0

The solutions can be found using the quadratic formula:

x = (-32 ±√(32² -4(1)(-48)))/(2(1)) = -16±√304 = -16±4√19

_____

<em>Comment on the equation we used</em>

We notice that when p and q are roots, the equation can be written ...

(x -p)(x -q) = 0 = x² -(p+q)x +pq

You want p+q = -32, pq = -48, so the equation is ...

x² -(-32)x +(-48) = 0

x² +32x -48 = 0 . . . . . . with parentheses eliminated

birth weights in norway are normally distributed with a mean of 3570 g and a standard deviation of 500g. if the hospital officia

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2630 g

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Given that:

mean (μ) = 3750 g

Standard deviation (σ) = 500

Suppose the hospital officials demand special treatment with a percentage of lightest 3% (0.03) for newborn babies;

Then, the weight of birth that differentiates the babies that needed special treatment from those that do not can be computed as follows;

P(Z < z₁) = 0.03

Using the Excel Formula; =NORMSINV(0.03) = -1.88

z₁ = - 1.88

Using the test statistics z₁ formula:

$z_1 = \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

$-1.88 = \dfrac{X-3570}{500}$

By cross multiply, we have:

-1.88 × 500 = X - 3570

-940 = X - 3570

-X = -3570 + 940

-X = -2630

X = 2630 g

Hence, 2630 g is the required weight of birth that differentiates the babies that needed special treatment from those that do not

Work out, giving your answer in its simplest form:<br> 4/7 divided by 2 1/3

kirill [66]

Answer:

12/49

Step-by-step explanation:

First write 2 1/3 as a improper fraction, to do that, first multiply the 2 by the denominator, then add it with the 1, which will result in 7/3

when doing division of fraction you have to remember this, KFG

KFG: Keep Flip Change

you keep the first number or fraction, which is 4/7

then you flip the sign, so you change division in to multiplication

after that, you change or write the reciprocal of the second number or fraction, so 7/3 will be 3/7

Now the equation is

4/7 times 3/7, which is 12/49
