Write an absolute value equation that has the solutions $x=8$ and $x=18$

Mathematics
1 answer:
Luden [163]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let |x-a|=b

then x-a=±b

so x-a=b

or x=a+b

so a+b=18   ...(1)

and x-a=-b

or x=a-b

or a-b=8   ...(2)

adding (1) and (2)

2a=26

a=26/2=13

subtract (2) from (1)

2b=10

b=10/2=5

|x-13|=5

Scores on the Critical Reading part of the SAT exam in a recent year were roughly Normal with mean 495 and standard deviation 11
Karolina [17]

Answer:

(c) 118/V100 11.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the central limit theorem to solve this question.

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\sigma = 118, n = 100

So

s = \frac{118}{\sqrt{100}} = 11.8

So the correct answer is:

(c) 118/V100 11.8

The coordinates of the vertices of ΔPQR are (–2, –2), (–6, –2), and (–6, –5).
melamori03 [73]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Yes, ΔPʹQʹRʹ is a reflection of ΔPQR over the x-axis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The problem statement tells you the transformation is ...

... (x, y) → (x, -y)

Consider the two points (0, 1) and (0, -1). These points are chosen for your consideration because their y-coordinates have opposite signs—just like the points of the transformation above. They are equidistant from the x-axis, one above, and one below. Each is a <em>reflection</em> of the other across the x-axis.

Along with translation and rotation, <em>reflection</em> is a transformation that <em>does not change any distance or angle measures</em>. (That is why these transformations are all called "rigid" transformations: the size and shape of the transformed object do not change.)

An object that has the same length and angle measures before and after transformation <em>is congruent</em> to its transformed self.

So, ... ∆P'Q'R' is a reflection of ∆PQR over the x-axis, and is congruent to ∆PQR.

The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 oun
Ugo [173]

Answer: A) .1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce.

i.e. \mu=12.30 and \sigma=0.20

Let x denotes the amount of soda in any can.

Every can that has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it must go through a special cleaning process before it can be sold.

Then, the probability that a randomly selected can will need to go through the mentioned process =  probability that a randomly selected can has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it =

P(x>12.50)=1-P(x\leq12.50)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{12.50-12.30}{0.20})\\\\=1-P(z\leq1)\ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-0.8413\ \ \ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\=0.1587

Hence, the required probability= A) 0.1587
