Answer: 0=3x^2+17x-160

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Width × Length

Width = x + 5

Length = 3x + 2

(x + 5) × (3x + 2)

use rainbow method

3x × x = 3x^2

3x × 5 = 15x

2 × x = 2x

2 × 5 = 10

3x^2 + 17x + 10 = 170

subtract 170 from both sides

3x^2 + 17x + 10 - 170 = 0

0 = 3x^2 + 17x - 160

find the smallest number of terms of the AP "-54,-52.5,-51,-49.5" ....that must be taken for the sum of the terms to be positive

wel

The smallest number of terms of the AP that will make the sum of terms positive is 73.

Since we need to know the number for the sum of terms, we find the sum of terms of the AP

<h3>Sum of terms of an AP</h3>

The sum of terms of an AP is given by S = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d] where

n = number of terms,
a = first term and
d = common difference

Since we have the AP "-54,-52.5,-51,-49.5" ....", the first term, a = -54 and the second term, a₂ = -52.5.

The common difference, d = a₂ - a

= -52.5 - (-54)

= -52.5 + 54

= 1.5

<h3>Number of terms for the Sum of terms to be positive</h3>

Since we require the sum of terms , S to be positive for a given number of terms, n.

So, S ≥ 0

n/2[2a + (n - 1)d] ≥ 0

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

n/2[2(-54) + (n - 1) × 1.5] ≥ 0

n/2[-108 + 1.5n - 1.5] ≥ 0

n/2[1.5n - 109.5] ≥ 0

n[1.5n - 109.5] ≥ 0

So, n ≥ 0 or 1.5n - 109.5 ≥ 0

n ≥ 0 or 1.5n ≥ 109.5

n ≥ 0 or n ≥ 109.5/1.5

n ≥ 0 or n ≥ 73

Since n > 0, the minimum value of n is 73.

So, the smallest number of terms of the AP that will make the sum of terms positive is 73.

A computer manufacturing company has sent a mail survey to 2,800 of its randomly selected customers that have purchased a new la

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion of customers satisfied with their new computer is (0.77, 0.83).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 96% confidence interval for the proportion.

We consider the sample size to be the customers that responded the survey (n=800), as we can not assume the answer for the ones that did not answer.

The sample proportion is p=0.8.

$p=X/n=640/800=0.8$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8*0.2}{800}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0002}=0.014$

The critical z-value for a 96% confidence interval is z=2.054.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=2.054 \cdot 0.014=0.03$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8-0.03=0.77\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.8+0.03=0.83$

The 96% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.77, 0.83).

a train travels 304 miles in 4 hours if it continues to travel at the same rate how many miles will it travel in seven and a hal

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

570 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

304/4 is how many miles it travels in each hour and if its 7.5 hours then you multiply that by each mile it takes each hour.

304/4 = 76

76 x 7.5 = 570
