When solving for x, what is x squared plus 15 equals -8x

Mathematics

VLD [36.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = - 5, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )

x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are 5 and 3, since

5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus

(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

Merta reports that 74% of its trains are on time. A check of 60 randomly selected trains shows that 38 of them arrived on time.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No, the on-time rate of 74% is not correct.

Solution:

As per the question:

Sample size, n = 60

The proportion of the population, P' = 74% = 0.74

q' = 1 - 0.74 = 0.26

We need to find the probability that out of 60 trains, 38 or lesser trains arrive on time.

Now,

The proportion of the given sample, p = \frac{38}{60} = 0.634

Therefore, the probability is given by:

P(p\leq 0.634) = [\frac{p - P'}{\sqrt{\frac{P'q'}{n}}}]\leq [\frac{0.634 - 0.74}{\sqrt{\frac{0.74\times 0.26}{60}}}]

P(p\leq 0.634) = P[z\leq -1.87188]

P(p\leq 0.634) = P[z\leq -1.87] = 0.0298

Therefore, Probability of the 38 or lesser trains out of 60 trains to be on time is 0.0298 or 2.98 %

Thus the on-time rate of 74% is incorrect.
