Find x, y, z please help!

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Rom4ik [11]

Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

The endpoints of are A(2, 2) and B(3, 8). is dilated by a scale factor of 3.5 with the origin as the center of dilation to give

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The given line segment whose end points are A(2,2) and B(3,8).

Distance AB is given by distance formula , which is

if we have to find distance between two points (a,b) and (p,q) is

= $\sqrt{(p-a)^2+(q-b)^2}$

AB= $\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(8-2)^2}=\sqrt{1+36}=\sqrt{37}$ = 6.08 (approx)

Line segment AB is dilated by a factor of 3.5 to get New line segment CD.

Coordinate of C = (3.5 ×2, 3.5×2)= (7,7)

Coordinate of D = (3.5×3, 3.5×8)=(10.5,28)

CD = AB × 3.5

CD = √37× 3.5

= 6.08 × 3.5

= 21.28 unit(approx)

2. Slope of line joining two points (p,q) and (a,b) is given by

m= $\frac{q-b}{p-a}$

m= $\frac{8-2}{3-2}=6$

As the two lines are coincident , so their slopes are equal.

Slope of line AB=Slope of line CD = 6

In a right triangle, angle C measures 40. the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 inches long. what is the approximate length of th

IrinaVladis [17]

Since angle C is not 90 degrees, it's one of the acute angles
in the right triangle.

   (The side adjacent to angle C ) divided by (hypotenuse)

is the cosine of angle C .

(adjacent) / (10 inches) = cos(40 degrees)

Multiply each side by (10 inches):

      Adjacent side = (10 inches) x cos(40) =

(10 inches) x 0.766 =

7.66 inches (rounded)

Suppose that the sitting back-to-knee length for a group of adults has a normal distribution with a mean of mu equals 24.4 in.

solong [7]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 26.6) = 0.0336$ , which is greater than 0.01. So a back-to-knee length of 26.6 in. is not significantly high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 24.4, \sigma = 1.2$
