Brice wants to build a table and put a border around it. The table and border must have an area of 3,006 square inches. The tabl

e is 36 inches wide and 72 inches long without the border. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the border, x?
A. 4x2 + 216x + 2,592 = 0

B. 4x2 + 216x − 414 = 0

C. 2x2 + 216x − 3,004 = 0

D. x2 + 108x + 2,592 = 0

B is the correct answer.

We are adding the border of x thickness to all 4 sides of the table.  This makes the new width of the table 36+x+x = 36+2x and the new length of the table 72+x+x=72+2x.  To find the area, we multiply the length and width:

(36+2x)(72+2x) = 3006

Multiplying the binomials, we get:
36*72 + 36*2x + 2x*72 + 2x*2x = 3006
2592 + 72x + 144x + 4x² = 3006

Combining like terms gets us
2592 + 216x + 4x² = 3006

Subtract 3006 from both sides:
2592 + 216x + 4x² - 3006 = 3006 - 3006
-414 + 216x + 4x² = 0

Writing in standard form we have
4x²+216x-414=0

The LB Company has long manufactured a light bulb with an average life of 5400 hours. Company researchers have recently develope
elena55 [62]
<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the average life of light bulbs.

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0 : \mu =5400

Alternative hypothesis : H_a : \mu >5400

Since H_a is right-tailed and population standard deviation is also known, so we perform right-tailed z-test.

Formula for Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overlien{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

where, n= sample size

\overline{x}= sample mean

\mu= Population mean

\sigma=population standard deviation

For n=95,\ \overline{x}=5483\ \&\ \sigma=500, we have

z=\dfrac{5483-5400}{\dfrac{500}{\sqrt{95}}}=1.61796786124\approx1.6180

Using z-value table , Critical one-tailed test value for 0.06 significance level :

z_{0.06}=1.5548

 Decision : Since critical z value (1.5548) < test statistic (1.6180), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[We reject the null hypothesis when critical value is less than the test statistic value .]

Conclusion : We have enough evidence at 0.06 significance level to support the claim that the new filament yields a longer bulb life
