Sue solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:

Which of the following is the algebraic expression represented by the verbal expression below?

Alchen [17]

Answer:

C. 3a + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that describes the verbal expression is 3a + 6.

Now let us approach this step wisely;

Triple quantity a = 3a

Increased by 6 = + 6 , an increment is addition to a term.

So, the full algebraic expression is 3a + 6

The solution is 3a + 6. Word problems like this should be approached step wisely.

Find the lengths of the sides of the rectangle if it is known that one of them is 14cm bigger than the other, and the diagonal o

slega [8]

Let's call the smaller side $s$ . This means that the other side of the rectangle is $s + 14$ .

In this problem, we are trying to find the lengths of the sides. The problem gives us someinformation about the sides, but that's really it. However, the problem also let's us know that the diagonal of the rectangle (the line connecting opposite corners of the rectangle) is 34 cm long.

This fact is very important, because we can actually make a triangle, with the smaller side, bigger side, and the diagonal of the rectangle. Additionally, since we are working with rectangles, we know that the sides form a right angle. Since we are constructing a triangle with the sides as the legs, we know that we are going to be constructing a right triangle, which means that we can work with Pythagorean's Theorem.

Remember that Pythaogrean's Theorem is:

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

$a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the legs of the triangle
$c$ is the length of the hypotenuse

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem to this problem, we get:

$s^2 + (s + 14)^2 = 34^2$

Let's simplify and solve for $s$ :

$s^2 + (s + 14)^2 = 34^2$

Set up

$s^2 + (s^2 + 28s + 196) = 1156$

Simplify left hand side and evalutate $34^2$

$2s^2 + 28s -962 = 0$

Subtract 1156 from both sides of the equation and combine like terms

$(s + 30)(s - 16) = 0$

Factor

$s = -30, 16$

Apply the Zero Product Property to solve for $s$

$s = 16$

$s = -30$ is an extraneous solution because you can't have a negative side length

We have now found that the smaller side is 16 cm long. Since the larger side is 14 cm longer, it can be found as shown:

$16 \,\textrm{cm} + 14 \,\textrm{cm} = 30 \,\textrm{cm}$

The sides are length 16 cm and 30 cm.

Calculate the number in the middle of 9.4 and 17.9

Aneli [31]

The middle number is:
9.4 + ((17.9-9.4)/2) = 13.65

Or you can find it like this:
(9.4+17.9)/2=13.65

`H_0: p = 0.63`

The test statistic, rounded to 2 decimal places is equal to

<h3>How to calculate value of the test statistic?</h3>

For this sample, the hypothesis is given by:

H₀: μ₁ ≤ μ₂

H₁: μ₁ > μ₂

Assuming this sample has a normal distribution, we would use a pooled z-test to determine the value of the test statistic:

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$z = \frac{\frac{96}{150} \;-\;0.63}{\sqrt{0.63\; +\; \frac{1\;-\;0.63}{150}} }\\\\z = \frac{0.64 \;-\;0.63}{\sqrt{0.63\; +\; \frac{0.37}{150}}}\\\\z = \frac{0.01}{\sqrt{0.63\; +\; 0.0025}}\\\\z = \frac{0.01}{\sqrt{0.6325}}\\\\$

z = 0.01/0.7953

z = 0.013.

How to graph y= -X-3

sukhopar [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the equation of a line.

We need only two points to the plotting a graph of a line.

y = -x - 3

for x = -3

y = -(-3) - 3 = 3 - 3 = 0 → (-3, 0)

for x = 0

y = -0 - 3 = 0 - 3 = -3 → (0, -3)
