Answer:

The negative solution is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = a number

4x = x² - 32 (4 times a number is 32 less than the square of that number)

2. Let's solve for x and find the negative solution:

4x = x² - 32

-x² + 4x + 32 = 0

x² - 4x - 32 = 0 (Multiplying by - 1)

(x - 8) (x + 4) = 0

(x₁ - 8) = 0

(x₂ + 4) = 0

x₁ = 8

x₂ = -4

The negative solution is -4

During the first 15 weeks of the 2016 season of a certain professional football league, the home team won 141 of the 241 regul

Answer:

The answer is 2.0190

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question,

We recall that,

p = 141/241 = 0.5850

so, p = 0.5

The Hypothesis is:

H₀ : P = 0.5, this means that H0:50% of the games played will be won

vs

H₁ : P > 0.5, This indicates that, win is greater than 0.5 due to home field advantages.

n=241,x=141

Then,

SD(p)=√(p*q/n)=√(0.5*0.5/141)=0.0421

z = p - p/ SD (p) = 0.5850 - 0.5/0.0421 = 0.085/0.0421 =2.0190

therefore, there is strong evidence that there is home field advantages in professional football.

A square on a coordinate plane has the points A(0, 0), B(0, 5), C(5, 5) and D(5, 0). If Square ABCD is rotated about the origin

Georgia [21]

Answer:

B. 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, dilation, rotation or translation.

If a point X(x,y) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new point is at X'(-x, -y).

If the square with vertices at A(0, 0), B(0, 5), C(5, 5) and D(5, 0) is rotated about the origin 180 degrees clockwise the new points are at A'(0, 0), B'(0, -5), C'(-5, -5), D'(-5, 0)

A square has four equal sides. The distance between two points $X(x_1,y_1)\ and\ Y(x_2,y_2)$ is:
