It either x=5 or x=-2 not sure which on
The correct answer would be letter C. She needs to either break or tie the record. The less than or equal to symbol in the original inequality would be her scoring less or tying the record. Using the greater than or equal to sign would represent her breaking the record or tying with it. Hope this helped.
We have a rectangle with length L that is 3 inches more than the width W. Then we can write this as:
The area of the rectangle is 180 square inches.
We have to find the width W.
As the area is equal to the product of the length and the width, we can write this equation and solve for W as:
We have a quadratic equation. The roots of this equation will be the mathematical solutions.
We can find the roots using the quadratic formula:
![\begin{gathered} W=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{3^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-180)}}{2\cdot1} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{9+720}}{2} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{729}}{2} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm27}{2} \\ W_1=\frac{-3-27}{2}=-\frac{30}{2}=-15 \\ W_2=\frac{-3+27}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B3%5E2-4%5Ccdot1%5Ccdot%28-180%29%7D%7D%7B2%5Ccdot1%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B9%2B720%7D%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B729%7D%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20W%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%5Cpm27%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20W_1%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3-27%7D%7B2%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B30%7D%7B2%7D%3D-15%20%5C%5C%20W_2%3D%5Cfrac%7B-3%2B27%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B24%7D%7B2%7D%3D12%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
The solutions are W = -15 and W = 12.
The first one is not valid, as W has to be greater than 0.
Then, the solution to our problem is W = 12 in.
Answer: the width is W = 12 inches.
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the mean of this set of data. We find the mean by finding the sum of data values and dividing it by the number of data values:
5+10+10+10+10+10+10+15 = 80
There are 8 data values; 80/8 = 10. The mean is 10.
To find the standard deviation, subtract the mean from each value; square the difference; add the squares; divide by the number of data values; and take the square root:
5-10 = -5; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 10-10 = 0; 15-10 = 5
(-5)^2 = 25; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 0^2 = 0; 5^2 = 25
25+0+0+0+0+0+0+25 = 50
50/8 = 6.25
√6.25 = 2.5
The standard deviation is 2.5.
This means two standard deviations, or 2σ, is 2(2.5) = 5.
This gives us μ-2σ = 10-5 = 5 and μ+2σ = 10+5 = 15.
Since all of our data is between 5 and 15, 100% is within two standard deviations of the mean.
It would be 6 because 2/3x6=12/3 which is 4.
