Answer number 36 plz ✨

The difference of the square of a number and 40 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the positive solution.

Wewaii [24]

Answer: The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;

Y^2 - 40.

Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,

Y^2 - 40 = 3Y

If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,

Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0

(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)

We now have a quadratic equation

Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0

By factorizing we now have

(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0

Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or

Y + 5 = 0

Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5

Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8

INCREDIBLY URGENT!!

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

When you see a formula like this, try to operate, so you will see some identities sooner or later. In this case, we have a substraction identity:

\frac{cos ( \alpha - \beta )}{cos \alpha cos \beta } = \frac{cos \alpha cos \beta + sin \alpha sin \beta }{cos \alpha cos \beta } = 1 + tan α · tan β

Express the volume of the box as a<br>polynomial in the variable x

Whitepunk [10]

The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached image, we have:

Length = 12 - 2x

Width = 7 - 2x

Height = x

The volume is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x

This gives

Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Ten experts rated a newly developed chocolate chip cookie on a scale of 1 to 50. Their ratings were: 34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32,

miskamm [114]

The mean deviation of the ratings is 4.12

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The ratings of the ten experts are: 34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32, 36, 38 and 40

So, the mean of all ratings $=\frac{34+35+41+28+26+29+32+36+38+40}{10}= \frac{339}{10}=33.9$

<u>The formula for Mean deviation</u> $= \sum \frac{|x_{i}- \mu|}{N}$ , where $x_{i}$ is the given data from $i=1$ to $i=10$ , $\mu$ is the mean of the data and $N$ is the total number of data. So.....

$|x_{1}-\mu |= |34-33.9|=0.1\\ |x_{2}-\mu|=|35-33.9|=1.1\\ |x_{3}-\mu |=|41-33.9|=7.1\\ |x_{4}-\mu |=|28-33.9|=5.9\\ |x_{5}-\mu |=|26-33.9|=7.9\\ |x_{6}-\mu |=|29-33.9|=4.9\\|x_{7}-\mu |=|32-33.9|=1.9\\ |x_{8}-\mu |=|36-33.9|=2.1\\ |x_{9}-\mu |=|38-33.9|=4.1\\ |x_{10}-\mu |=|40-33.9|=6.1$

So, the Mean deviation $=\sum \frac{|x_{i}-\mu |}{N}=\frac{0.1+1.1+7.1+5.9+7.9+4.9+1.9+2.1+4.1+6.1}{10} = \frac{41.2}{10}=4.12$
