The correct answers are the x = 6 and x = 0.

In order to find this, we can follow the order of operations.

–4|–2x + 6| = –24

Divide by -4

|–2x + 6| = 6

Since it is now equal to a absolute value, we have to solve for the positive and negative versions of the final answer. Let's start with the positive.

-2x + 6 = 6

-2x = 0

x = 0

Now for the negative

-2x - 6 = -6

-2x = -12

x = 6

These would be your two answers.

If the sphere shown above has a radius of 11 units then what is the approximate volume of the sphere

adell [148]

Answer:

Volume of the sphere $=5563.58units^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the sphere= $\frac{4}{3} *\pi *r^3$

The sphere has given radius(r)= 11 units

Putting the value of the radius in the formula;

Volume of the sphere:

= $\frac{4}{3} *3.14*11*11*11$

$=1.33*3.14*11*11*11$

$=4.18*11*11*11$

$=4.18*1331$

Volume $=5563.58units^3$

The volume of the sphere with radius of 11 units is $5563.58units^3$

Find the area of the figure below. Round your answer to one decimal place.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: 57.1 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle formula: 1/2 x base x height

Area of a semicircle: 1/2 x pi x r^2

(1/2 x 8 x 8) + (1/2 x pi x 4^2)

= 57.1 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the test statistic for a test for the diference between proportions.

The sample 1 (year 1995), of size n1=4276 has a proportion of p1=0.384.

$p_1=X_1/n_1=1642/4276=0.384$

The sample 2 (year 2010), of size n2=3908 has a proportion of p2=0.3621.

$p_2=X_2/n_2=1415/3908=0.3621$

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.0219.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.384-0.3621=0.0219$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{1642+1415}{4276+3908}=\dfrac{3057}{8184}=0.3735$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3735*0.6265}{4276}+\dfrac{0.3735*0.6265}{3908}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.00005+0.00006}=\sqrt{0.00011}=0.0107$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.0219-0}{0.0107}=\dfrac{0.0219}{0.0107}=2.05$

z=2.05
