4(3x-8)=4
12x-32=4
12x=36
x=3

i'd say x=3 because,

if you do 3 times 3, it equals 9. Then you subtract 8 from it, which gives you 1. And the numbers you have left over are the four and the 1. The operation you have to do for that is multiplication, and 4x1=4.

Hope this helps :)

Solve 0 = (x – 4)2 – 1 by graphing the related function.

fomenos

Answer:

Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic equations are:

$x=5,\:x=3$

The graph is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of the graph could be obtained by finding the x-intercept.

$y=\left(x-\:4\right)^2-1$

Finding the x-intercept by substituting the value y = 0

$y=\left(x-\:4\right)^2-1$

$\:0\:=\:\left(x\:-\:4\right)^2\:-\:1$ ∵ y = 0

$\left(x-4\right)^2-1=0$

$\left(x-4\right)^2-1+1=0+1$

$\left(x-4\right)^2=1$

$\mathrm{For\:}\left(g\left(x\right)\right)^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}g\left(x\right)=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x-4=\sqrt{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\sqrt{1}=1$

$x-4=1$

$x=5$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x-4=-\sqrt{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\sqrt{1}=1$

$x-4=-1$

$x=3$

So, when y = 0, then x values are 3, and 5.

Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic equations are:

$x=5,\:x=3$

The graph is also attached. As the graph is a Parabola. It is visible from the graph that the values of y = 0 at x = 5 and x = 3. As the graph is a Parabola.

Lines x and y are parallel.

densk [106]

On the bottom line, the 106 and number 1 make a straight line and needs to equal 180 degrees.

This means number 1 = 180-106 = 74 degrees.

Because x and y are parallel, the top outside angle is the same as number 1.

6x +8 = 74

Subtract 8 from both sides:

6x = 66

divide both sides by 6:

x = 66 / 6

x = 11

Now you have x, replace x in the equation for 7x-2 to find that angle:

7(11) -2 = 77-2 = 75 degrees.

The three inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.

Angle 2 = 180 - 74 - 75 = 31 degrees.

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25$

And rounded up we have that n=421

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample proportion have the following distribution:

$\hat p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.04$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

We assume that a prior estimation for p would be $\hat p =0.5$ since we don't have any other info provided. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25$

And rounded up we have that n=421
