Answer:

x = 5 or x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is :

x²-8x+30 = 3x

adding -3x to both sides of above equation, we get

x²-8x+30-3x = 3x-3x

add like terms

x²-11x+30 = 0

we solve this equation by factoring.

split the middle term so that the product of two numbers should be 30 and the sum is -11.

x²-6x-5x+30 = 0

make two groups

x(x-6)-5(x-6) = 0

take (x-6) as common

(x-6)(x-5) = 0

Applying Zero-Product Property to above equation,we get

x-6 = 0 or x-5 = 0

first solve x-6 = 0

adding 6 to both sides of above equation,we get

x-6+6 = 0+6

x+0 = 6

x = 6

secondly, solve this x-5 = 0

adding 5 to above equation , we get

x-5+5 = 0+5

x +0 = 5

x = 5

Hence, the solution of x²-8x+30 = 3x is {6,5}.

Answer:

x=5 x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x + 30 = 3x

Subtract 3x from each side

x^2 - 8x-3x + 30 = 3x-3x

x^2 - 11x + 30 = 0

What 2 numbers multiply to 30 and add to -11

-5*-6 = 30

-5+-6 = -11

(x-5) (x-6) =0

Using the zero product property

x-5 = 0 and x-6 =0

x-5+5 =0+5 and x-6+6 =0+6

x=5 x=6

A sample of 100 wood and 100 graphite tennis rackets are taken from the warehouse. if 13 wood and 10 graphite are defective and

Nimfa-mama [501]

Let's split the problem in non-intersecting subsets: we have $87$ good wood racquets, $13$ defective wood rackets, $90$ good graphite racquets, $10$ defective graphite rackets.

The probability that the racket is wood or defective covers the following subsets: good wood, defective wood and defective graphite, which have, respectively, $87$ , $13$ and $10$ elements.

Since the total is $200$ elements, the probability is

$\frac{87+13+10}{200} = \frac{110}{200} = 0.55$

MrRa [10]

Answer:

E. x^2 = 39 + 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps to do one piece of the sentence at a time.

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

x^2 =

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

x^2 = 39 +

"A number, x, squared is 39 more than the product of 10 and x"

x^2 = 39 + 10x

Answer: E. x^2 = 39 + 10x

Why might the range not be the best estimate of variability?

Zinaida [17]

It may be because the range isn't actually considered an average, it's shown using a box and whiskers diagram, Mode is the most common number. Mean is all the numbers added up and divided by the amount of values there are in the adding up process. so overall the range is less useful to show variability as it only shows the lowest and highest number in the data, and not the different individual numbers variety amongst the results

During a cold winter, the temperature stayed below zero for 10 days (ranging from −20 to −5). The variance of the temperatures o

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The variance of the temperatures of the 10 day period must be at least zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variance is the expectation of the squared deviation of a random variable from its mean. It measures how far a set of numbers are spread out from their average value.

Its unit of measure corresponding to the square of the unit of measure of the variable. In this case, the variance of the temperatures is expressed in (°C)². The variance has a minimum value of 0.

Since the variance is squared, it will always have values greater than zero.
