Answer:

x = 0, x = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x / 4 = x² / (x + 2)

x = 4x² / (x + 2)

x * (x + 2) = 4x²

x² + 2x = 4x²

3x² - 2x = 0

x(3x - 2) = 0

x = 0, x = 2/3

Answer:

x=0, 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x/4 = x^2 /(x+2)

Using cross products

4x^2 = x(x+2)

Distribute

4x^2 = x^2 +2x

Subtract x^2 from each side

3x^2 = 2x

Subtract 2x from each side

3x^2 -2x =0

Factor out x

x(3x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x=0   3x-2 =0

x=0   3x=2

x=0   x= 2/3

Check

x=0

0/4 = 0^2 /(0+2)

0 = 0

Check

x=2/3

(2/3)/4 = (2/3)^2 /((2/3)+2)

1/6 = (4/9)/ (8/3)

1/6 = 4/9 * 3/8

1/6 = 4/8 *3/9

1/6 = 1/6

Both solutions are valid

Answer: (7.321\ , \ 7.599)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 400  () large sample

Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.95=0.05

By using Standard normal table , Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Sample mean : \overline{x}= 7.46

Standard deviation: \sigma=1.42

The confidence interval for population means is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

=7.46\pm(1.96)\dfrac{1.42}{\sqrt{400}}

\approx 7.46\pm0.139=( 7.46-0.139,\ 7.46+0.139)\\\\=(7.321\ , \ 7.599)

Hence, the 95 percent confidence interval for the mean percentage share of billing volume from network television for the population of all U.S. advertising agencies = (7.321\ , \ 7.599)

Compare 2/6 and 5/8 using benchmark number. Which number can you use to compare these fraction
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

5/8 is about 1/2. 2/6 is about 0.

Step-by-step explanation:  2/6 is about 0 because 2 is close to 0. If the numerator is  close to 0 and the denominator is not close to 0 then the benchmark is going to be 0. If the numerator is about half of the denominator then the benchmark is going to be 1/2. If the numerator and denominator is close to each other than the benchmark is going to be 1.

If the domain of the square root function f(x) is x
soldier1979 [14.2K]
<span>This question, in my opinion, is not well stated. If f(x) = √x, as the question statement seems to say, then the domain is not x<7. Rather, the domain is x≥0. If f(x) is not the square root function, but say f(x) = √(7-x) then the domain is x≤7, and for this function then the appropriate answer is d), since the x-term inside the radical has a negative coefficient.</span>
