Answer:

  • the only possible value of x is 5
  • the dimensions are 2 × 4 × 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The cubic equation ...

  (x -3)(x -1)(x +5) = 80

has one real root: x = 5. Using that value for x, the dimensions become ...

  length = 5 - 3 = 2

  width = 5 - 1 = 4

  height = 5 + 5 = 10

The dimensions are (length, width, height) = (2, 4, 10).

_____

We cannot tell the thrust of the problem, since it has only one solution. Perhaps you're supposed to write the cubic in standard form and use the <em>Rational Root theorem</em> to find <em>possible values of x</em>. That form can be found to be ...

  (x -3)(x -1)(x +5) -80 = 0

  x³ +x² -17x -65 = 0

Descartes' rule of signs tells you there is one positive real root. The rational root theorem tells you possible rational roots are factors of 65:

  1, 5, 13, 65

We know that x must be greater than 3 (so all dimensions are positive). Thus <em>possible values of x are 5, 13, 65</em>, and we're pretty sure that 65 is way too large.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$26.75 per scarf

Step-by-step explanation:

3 scarves = $80.25 (quite expensive)

1 scarf = $80.25/3

A professor would like to test the hypothesis that the average number of minutes that a student needs to complete a statistics e
professor190 [17]

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=15 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.05 represent the confidence level  

s^2 =16 represent the sample variance

\sigma^2_0 =25 represent the value that we want to  verify

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true deviation for this case is lesss than 5minutes, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 \geq 25

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2

The statistic is given by:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And replacing we got:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

This question is super hard for me, and I really need some help please! The Question is in the attatchtment
ELEN [110]

Answer:

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Because every triangle's angles add up to 180 degrees, you know 3x+x+20=180. Since 3x and x are like terms, you can add them to get 4x. 20 and 180 are also like terms. However, to move your 20 to the side of 180, you need to subtract it. So you have 4x=160. To get x by itself, you divide 4x and 160 by 4. 4x/4 is x, and 160/4 is 40. So your answer is x=40.

Answer:

Exact Form:

√2−1

Decimal Form:

0.41421356

…

Step-by-step explanation:

Since  9π/8  is not an angle where the values of the six trigonometric functions are known, try using half-angle identities.

9π/8  is not an exact angle

First, rewrite the angle as the product of  1/2  and an angle where the values of the six trigonometric functions are known. In this case,  9π/8  can be rewritten as

(1/2)*  9π/8 tan ((1/2)*  9π/8)

Use the half-angle identity for tangent to simplify the expression. The formula states that  

tan (0/2)=sin(0)/1+cos(0) sin(9π/4)/1+cos(9π/4)

Simplify

Remove full rotations of  2π  until the angle is between  0  and  2π.

sin(π/4)/1+cos(9π/4)

The exact value of sin(π/4) is √2/2

√2/2/1+cos(9π/4)

Simplify the Denominator

Remove full rotations of  2π  until the angle is between  0  and  2π.√2/2/1+cos(π4)

The exact value of cos(π/4)   is  √2/2.√2/2/1+√2/2

To write  1/1  as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by  2/2  .√2/2/1/1⋅2/2+√2/2

Write each expression with a common denominator of  2, by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of  1.

Combine.

√2/2/1⋅2/1⋅2+√2/2

Multiply 2 by 1

√2/2/1⋅2/2+√2/2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

√2/2/1⋅2+√2/2

Multiply 2 by 1

√2/2/2+√2/2

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator

√2/2  ⋅  2/2+√2

Cancel the common factor of  2  .

Factor out the greatest common factor  2

√2/2⋅1  ⋅  2⋅1/2+√2

Cancel the common factor

√2/2⋅1  ⋅  2⋅1/2+√2

Rewrite the expression.

√2/1  ⋅  1/2+√2

Simplify

Multiply  √2/1  and  1/2+√2

√2/2+√2

Multiply  √2/2+√2  by  2−√2/2−√2

Combine

√2(2−√2)/(2+√2)(2−√2)

Expand the denominator using the FOIL method.

√2(2−√2)/4−2√2+√2⋅2−√2^2

Simplify

√2(2−√2)/2

Apply the distributive property

√2⋅2+√2(−√2)/2

Move  2  to the left of the expression  √2⋅2.

2⋅√2+√2(−√2)/2

Simplify  

√2(−√2)  .

Raise  √2  to the power of  1  .

2⋅√2−(√2^1√2)/2

Raise  √2  to the power of  1  .

2⋅√2−(√2^1√2^1)/2

Use the power rule  a^m  a^n=a^m+n  to combine exponents.

2⋅√2−√2^1+1/2

Add  1  and  1  .

2⋅√2−√2^2/2

Simplify each term.

Multiply  2  by  √2  .

2√2−√2^2/2

Rewrite  √2^2  as  2  .

2√2−1⋅2/2

Multiply  −1  by  2.

2√2−2/2

Reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors.

Factor  2  out of  2√2.

2(√2)−2/2

Factor  2  out of  −2.

2(√2)+2⋅−1/2

Factor  2  out of  

2(√2)+2(−1)2(√2−1)/2

Cancel the common factors.

Factor  2  out of  2  .

2(√2−1)/2(1)

Cancel the common factor.

2(√2−1)/2⋅1

Rewrite the expression.

√2−1/1

Divide  √2−1  by  1  .

√2−1

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

√2−1

Decimal Form:

0.41421356…

Hope it help. Good luck.
