Mathematics
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt{-x+4} = x - 4 ( square both sides )

- x  4 = (x - 4)² ← expand

- x + 4 = x² - 8x + 16 ( subtract - x + 4 from both sides )

0 = x² - 7x + 12 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 3)(x - 4) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions

x = 3 : \sqrt{-3+4} = \sqrt{1} = 1

right side = 3 - 4 = - 1

left side ≠ right side ⇒ extraneous solution

x = 4 : \sqrt{-4+4} = 0 and right side = 4 - 4 = 0

left side = right side ⇒ x = 4 is the solution

Assume that you assign the following subjective probabilities for your final grade in your econometrics course (the standard GPA
rodikova [14]

Answer:

E(X) = 4*0.2 +3*0.5+ 2*0.2 +1*0.8+ 0*0.02= 2.78

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 2.78

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probabability distribution function given:

Score         P(X)

A= 4.0       0.2

B= 3.0       0.5

C= 2.0       0.2

D= 1.0        0.08

F= 0.0       0.02

______________

Total          1.00

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

If we use the definition of expected value given by:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_I)

And if we replace the values that we have we got:

E(X) = 4*0.2 +3*0.5+ 2*0.2 +1*0.8+ 0*0.02= 2.78

So then the best answer for this case would be:

C. 2.78

The length and breadth of a rectangular field are 312m and 186m respectively; correct to the nearest metres. Between what limits
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

P \geq 1000 \; meters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Length = 312 meters

Breadth = 186 meters

To find the perimeter of the rectangle;

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Perimeter = 2(312 + 186)

Perimeter = 2(498)

Perimeter = 996 meters

To the nearest meters, we have;

Perimeter = 996 ≈ 1000 meters

Let P represent the perimeter of a rectangular field.

900 < P > 1000

Therefore, P \geq 1000 \; meters
