Answer:

There seems to be a typo error but still this has solution.

Let the number be = x

A positive real number is 6 less than another. Means the second will be (x+6)

The sum of the square of the two numbers is 38.

x^{2} +(x+6)^{2} =38  

=> x^{2} +36+12x+x^{2} =38

=> 2x^{2}+12x+36 =38

=> 2x^{2}+12x=2

=> 2x^{2}+12x-2=0

Taking out 2 common;

=> x^{2}+6x-1=0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get;

x=-3+\sqrt{10} and x=-3-\sqrt{10}

As positive number is needed, we have -3+\sqrt{10}

or x = \sqrt{10}-3

x = 0.162277

And other number is 6.162277.

  • -3 + √10 = 0.162, and
  • (-3 + √10) + 6 ⇒ 3 + √10 = 6.162.
<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

  • A positive real number is 6 less than another.
  • The sum of the square of the two numbers is 38.

<u>Question:</u>

Find out the numbers.

<u>Problem-solving:</u>

Let us use \boxed{ \ x \ } to represent the positive real number.

This positive real number is 6 less than another. The other number is \boxed{ \ x + 6 \ }

The sum of the square of the two numbers is 38, i.e., \boxed{ \ x^2 + (x + 6)^2 = 38 \ }

Let us work on expanding it.

\boxed{ \ x^2 + (x + 6)^2 = 38 \ }

Recall that \boxed{ \ (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \ }

\boxed{ \ x^2 + x^2 + 12x + 36 = 38 \ }

\boxed{ \ 2x^2 + 12x + 36 - 38 = 0 \ }

\boxed{ \ 2x^2 + 12x - 2 = 0 \ }

Both sides are divided by two.

\boxed{ \ x^2 + 6x - 1 = 0 \ }

Let us solve the equation by using the quadratic formula.

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \ }

  • a = 1
  • b = 6
  • c = -1

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2 - 4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)} \ }

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36 + 4}}{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{40}}{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{-6 \pm 2\sqrt{10}}{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{-6}{2} \pm \frac{2\sqrt{10}}{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ x = -3 \pm \sqrt{10} \ }

\boxed{ \ x_1 = -3 + \sqrt{10} \ . \ . \ . \ x_1 > 10 \ } this is fulfilled.

\boxed{ \ x_2 = -3 - \sqrt{10} \ . \ . \ . \ x_2 < 10 \ }

  • Thus, the positive real number is \boxed{ \ x = -3 + \sqrt{10} \ }
  • The other number is \boxed{ \ (-3 + \sqrt{10}) + 6 \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 3 + \sqrt{10} \ }}

\boxed{ \sqrt {10} = 3.162 \ }

  • Therefore \boxed{ \ x = -3 + 3.162 \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 0.162 \ }}
  • And the other number is \boxed{ \ 0.162 + 6 \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 6.162 \ }}

<u>Notes:</u>

\boxed{ \ ax^2 + bx + c = 0, \ \ \ \ \  a \neq 0 \ } is a quadratic equation in standard form.

  • x is a variable
  • a, b, and c are real number coefficients

Methods of solving quadratic equations include:

  • Factoring and using the zero product property: \boxed{ \ (x - a)(x - b) = 0 \ } \ if \ and \ only \ if \ \boxed{ \ (x - a) = 0 \ or \ (x - b) = 0 \ }
  • Using the square root property: \boxed{ \ x^2 = a, \ then \ x = \pm \sqrt{a} \ }
  • Completing the square: \boxed{ \ x^2 + bx + \bigg({\frac{b}{2}} \bigg)^2 = \bigg( x + \frac{b}{2} \bigg)^2 \ }
  • Using the quadratic formula: \boxed{ \ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \ }

Timmy is building a new website. Right after he starts, he has 2 visitors. He expects his visitors to increase according to a mo
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

He gets 42 visitors 4 weeks after starting to build his website.

He gets 10 new visitors per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for the number of visitors:

The equation for the number of visitors Timmy's new website receives after t weeks is:

v(t) = 10t + b

In which b is the number of visitors rightly after he starts.

Timmy is building a new website. Right after he starts, he has 2 visitors.

This means that b = 2, so:

v(t) = 10t + 2

How many visitors does he get 4 weeks after starting to build his website?

This is v(4). So

v(4) = 10(4) + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42

He gets 42 visitors 4 weeks after starting to build his website.

How any new visitors does he get per week?

After 0 weeks:

v(0) = 10(0) + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2

After 1 week:

v(1) = 10(1) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

2 weeks:

After 2 week:

v(2) = 10(2) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22

22 - 12 = 12 - 2 = 10

He gets 10 new visitors per week.

Consumer complaints are frequently reported to the Better Business Bureau. Industries with the most complaints to the Better Bus
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Let the complaints by Industry be CbI

CbI               Frequency

Bank            26

Cable           44

Car               42

Cell               60

Collection     28

b) Percentages

CbI               percentage (%)

Bank              13

Cable            22

Car                21

Cell               30

Collection     14

c) The industry with the highest number of complaints is the Cell Industry.

d) The Bar Chart is attached to this solution. It was constructed in the Ms Excel suite.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The frequencies are simply the number of times each industry sector sent in a complaint. So, it's straight forward to present.

b) The percentage for each industry is done in comparison to the the total amount of complaints received.

Percentage for each industry = 100% × (Number of complaints from that industry)/(Total number of complaints)

Total amount of complaints received = 200

For Bank industry,

Percentage = 100% × (26/200) = 13%

For the Cable Industry,

Percentage = 100% × (44/200) = 22%

For Car industry,

Percentage = 100% × (42/200) = 21%

For Cell industry,

Percentage = 100% × (60/200) = 30%

For Collection industry,

Percentage = 100% × (28/200) = 14%

c) The industry with the highest number of complaints is the one with the highest frequency and percentage, and that is the Cell Industry.

d) The Bar Chart is attached to this solution. It was constructed in the Ms Excel suite.
