Answer:  The solution is x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:  The given equation is as follows:

\sqrt{2x+13}-5=x.

We will be using the following algebraic identities:

(i)~(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2,\\\\(ii)~(\sqrt{a+b})^2=a+b.

The solution is as follows:

\sqrt{2x+13}-5=x\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{2x+13}=x+5\\\\\Rightarrow (\sqrt{2x+13})^2=(x+5)^2\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+13=x^2+10x+25\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+8x+12=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+6x+2x+12=0\\\\\Rightarrow x(x+6)+2(x+6)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+2)(x+6)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x+2=0,~~~~~~x+6=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=-2,~-6.

If we substitute x = -2, then

L.H.S=\sqrt{2\times (-2)+13}-5=\sqrt9-5=3-5=-2=R.H.S.

Ie we substitute x = -6, then

L.H.S=\sqrt{2\times (-6)+13}-5=\sqrt1-5=1-5=-4\neq -6=x=R.H.S.

Since x = -6 does not satisfy the given equation, so the solution is x = -2.

Thus, the solution is x = -2.

The answer would be 1440 feet^2, becasue for area you have to multiply the width, length, and depth.  You bascally would draw a 3D rectangle and label the depth, height, and width. That would be your diagram.

An old house in Pomona, CA is inhabited by a variety of ghosts. Ghost appearances occur in the house according to a Poisson proc
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The probability is 0.503

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ghost appearances occur in the house according to a Poisson process with mean m, the time between appearances follows a exponential distribution with mean 1/m. so, the probability that the next ghost appearance happens before x hours is equal to:

P(X\leq x)=1-e^{-xm}

Then, replacing m by 1.4 ghosts per hour we get:

P(X\leq x)=1-e^{-1.4x}

Additionally, The exponential distribution have a memoryless property, so if it is now 1:00 p.m. and we want the probability that ghost appear before 1:30 p.m., we need to find the difference in hours from 1:00 p.m and 1:30 p.m. no matter that the last ghost appearance was at 12:35 p.m.

Therefore, there are 0.5 hours between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m, so the probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m is calculated as:

P(x\leq 0.5)=1-e^{-1.4*0.5} =0.503

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

h\:>\: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of hours Gary must work per week.

The contract states that Garry must work more than 20 hours.

This can be represented algebraically by the inequality;

h\:>\: 20
