ANSWER: L=13; W=9
--Please read this explanation and this will be much easier for you, it took time to type..

Set up variables first. I will lead through how to get the answer.

First get variables. So, what is Perimeter? Perimeter is like so:

P = 2L + 2W = 44ft
Now instead of using P, we'll continue with

2L + 2W = 44 because this can be used to help answer the question better than P.

"Length of the patio is 5 ft less than twice the width"

So it says "length of the patio", so we put

L =

"5 ft less than twice the width"

L = 2W - 5

Now we know what L is, and we can plug this in to our first equation!

2L + 2W = 44
L = 2W - 5

Multiply by 2...
2L = 4W - 10

Plug in...
4W - 10 (2L see?) + 2W = 44

Rearrange...
4W + 2W - 10 = 44

And solve...
=6W - 10 = 44
=6W = 44 + 10
=6W = 54
=6W/6 = 54/6
=W = 9

Now we have W. Plug this into our other equation.

L = 2W - 5
L = 2*9 - 5
L = 18 - 5
L = 13

The length of the patio is 13 ft and the width of the patio is 9 ft.

Answer:

122

Step-by-step explanation:

x^6+y^2

Plug in 1 for x and 11 for y

=1^6+11^2

1 to the power of any number will always equal 1

=1+11^2\\=1+121\\=122

I hope this helps!

Why might the mean of a probability distribution for a discrete random variable be less than (or greater than) the average of po
user100 [1]

The Normal probability distribution function is left-skewed, right-skewed, or symmetric depending on the values of the variance and the standard deviation might the mean of a probability distribution for a discrete random variable be less than (or greater than) the average of possible values.

A probability distribution is a mathematical function that describes the probabilities of different possible values ​​of a variable. Probability distributions are often represented using graphs or probability tables.

Probability distributions are called discrete probability distributions, and the set of outcomes is inherently discrete. For example, if you roll a die, all possible outcomes are discrete and you get a large number of outcomes. Also called probability mass function.

Find the number z such that the proportion of observations that are less than z in a standard Normal distribution is 0.5414. (b)
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Part (a) The value of Z is 0.10396. Part (b) The value of Z is 0.410008.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part (a)

In order to find the number z such that the proportion of observations that are less than z in a standard Normal distribution is 0.5414, simply find 0.5414 in the table and search for the appropriate Z-value.

Now, observing the table it can be concluded that the value of Z is 0.10396.

Part (b)

Consider the number 65.91%

The above number can be written as 0.6591.

Now, find 0.6591 in the table and search for the appropriate Z-value.

By, observing the table it can be concluded that the value of Z is 0.410008.

Solve: x³-7x²+36=0.​
Aliun [14]

Answer:

3,6,-2

Step-by-step explanation:

a+2a+b = 7

2a^2b = -36

a*2a + ab + 2ab = 0

or, a(2a+3b) = 0

so, b = -2a/3

Solve those and you find 3,6,-2
