Lets say that the two unknown integers are n and m.

We know the following things about n and m:

n+m=26
n^2+m^2=340

And, we want to find nm.

To solve this, we'll use the expansion of the squared of the sum of any two inegers; this is expressed as:

(n+m)^2=n^2+2nm+m^2

So, given what we know about the unknown integers, the previous can be written as:

(26)^2=340+2nm

We can easily solve for nm:

nm= \frac{(26)^2-340}{2}= \frac{676-340}{2}= \frac{336}{2}=168

The answer is 168.

Another approach to solve the problem is, from the two starting equations, compute the values of n and m, which are 12 and 14, and directly compute their product; however, the approach described is more elegant.

Answer:

<h3>Question 1 </h3>
  • <em>Adjacent angles are supplementary, opposite angles are equal</em>

<u>Find x</u>

  • 62 + 5x + 3 = 180
  • 5x = 180 - 65
  • 5x = 115
  • x = 23

<u>Find y</u>

  • 62 = 3y + 2
  • 3y = 60
  • y = 20
<h3>Question 2</h3>
  • <em>Diagonals bisect each other</em>

<u>Find x</u>

  • 4x = 3x + 7
  • x = 7

<u>Find y</u>

  • 6y = 2y + 16
  • 4y = 16
  • y = 4

Correct choice is A

A population has a mean µ = 6 and ∑x = 48. How many scores are in the population?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the population mean of a data set:

\mu=\frac{\sum x}{N}

We already know that μ is 6 and the sum is 48. Substitute:

6=\frac{48}{N}

Divide both sides by 48:

\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{N}

Reciprocal of both sides:

N=8

Thus, there are 8 scores in the population size.

And we're done!
