AREA OF A RECTANGLE IS 42 UNITS

Rectangle:                             Triangle: 
A = L * W                             A = hb / 2
A = (x-8) * 6                         A = (7(x-3)) / 2
A = 6x - 48                            A = (7x - 21) / 2

Since the problem states that both rectangle and triangle have the same area.Then:

6x - 48 = (7x - 21) / 2

1) Eliminate the denominator 2 by multiplying both sides by 2.

2 * (6x - 48) = 2 * ((7x - 21) / 2)
12 x - 96 = 7x - 21

Find x. Transfer like numbers and change their signs.

12x - 7x = 96 - 21
5x = 75
5x / 5 = 75 / 5
x = 15

Substitute x by its value:

Rectangle:                            Triangle
A = (x-8) * 6          -                A = (7(x-3)) / 2                      Areas of both Rectangle
A = (15 -8 ) * 6                       A = (7(15-3)) / 2                      and Triangle is the same.
A = 7 * 6                                  A = (7 * 12) / 2
A = 42 units                            A = 84 / 2
                                               A = 42 units

4x - y = 5 --> 4x = y + 5

substitute

4x + 4y = -4

(y + 5) + 4y = -4

5y + 5 = -4

5y = -9

y = -1.8

solve x

4x = y + 5 = -1.8 + 5 = 3.2

x = 3.2/4 = 0.8

4. Bradford hopped into his Ford Mustang GT to rush to Diana and tell her
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration refers to the rate of change of speed with time. We can see that between 0 and 4.7 seconds he accelerated quickly . That means that the rate of change of speed with time was greatest between 0 and 4.7 seconds.

A graph of the motion is shown in the image attached. We can see that he maintained a constant speed after 4.7 seconds.

Life Expectancies In a study of the life expectancy of people in a certain geographic region, the mean age at death was years an
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is the mean life expectancy, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

We have:

Mean \mu, standard deviation \sigma.

Sample of size n:

This means that the z-score is now, by the Central Limit Theorem:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years.

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is the mean life expectancy, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

This keeps on confusing me. Please explain it to me.
9966 [12]

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

the picture is showing

1+1= -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -1 + -x

simplified its:

2= -8 + -x

I think that the answer is x=-10 cuz if u did -8 - -10 then the two negatives make a positive and it makes 2 but idk if the minus sign before the x means minus or negative so this might be the answer but dont blame me if im wrong. I warned you. If its right plz write that.
