Answer:

x = 1 , 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The given equation is as follows:

                          y = x^2 - 8x + 7

- We can solve the above equation by either making factors or by using Quadratic formula.

Factor Approach:

- Using the constant "7" at the end of the quadratic equation we will determine two integer multiples such that their additions/subtraction results in "-8".

- So the only factor of "7" are:

                        7 x 1 = 7

                       -7 x -1 = 7

- We see that addition/subtraction of first (7 , 1 ) does not results in "-8", However, the sum of ( -1 , -7 ) = -1 - 7 = -8. So the correct factors are ( -1 , -7 ). So we replace "-8x" with our factors "-1x" and "-7x":

                       x^2 -x -7x + 7 = 0

- Take common multiples out of pair of two terms:

                        x*(x-1) -7*(x-1) = 0

                        (x-7)*(x-1) = 0

- So we equate each term in bracket with "0" and evaluate the values of x:

                        (x-7) = 0  , x = 7

                        (x-1) = 0   , x = 1

- So the solution to the quadratic equation is:

                        x = 1 , 7

A lathe is set to cut bars of steel into lengths of 6 cm. The lathe is considered to be in perfect adjustment if the average len
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723    

E. -0.723

df=n-1=93-1=92  

p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}  

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

\bar X=5.97 represent the sample mean for the length

s=0.4 represent the sample standard deviation

n=93 sample size  

\mu_o =6 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic  

p_v represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the lathe is in perfect adjustment (6cm), then the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 6  

since we don't know the population deviation the statistic is:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing in formula (1) we got:

t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723    

E. -0.723

P value

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=93-1=92  

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}  

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.

URGENT PLEASE HELP ME, ITS DUE IN A HOUR ​
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Area of gray region = 8x^2+8x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The area covered by the furniture can be subtracted from the total area of the room to calculate the area of the gray region.

<em>Total</em> area of the room: 13x^2+7x-2

Area taken up by furniture: 5x^2-x+5

Area of gray region = total area of the room - area taken up by furniture

Area of gray region = 13x^2+7x-2-(5x^2-x+5)

Remember to distribute the negative sign:

Area of gray region = 13x^2+7x-2-5x^2+x-5

Combine like terms:

Area of gray region = 8x^2+8x-7

Inequality / Linear Systems Help - 30 points!
Sholpan [36]

They did not include the constraint for y ≤x+3 on the graph.

See attached picture with added constraint.

Using the 4 points that are given as the solution on the graph, replace t he x and Y in the original equation to solve and see which is the greater value.

Point (0,3) P = -0 +3(3) = 0+9 = 9

Point (1,4) P = -1 + 3(4) = -1 +12 = 11

Point (0,0) P = -0 + 3(0) = 0 + 0 = 0

Point (3,0) P = -3 + 3(0) = -3 + 0 = -3

The correct solution to maximize P is (1,4)

valina [46]

Let us say that:

x = cost of shorts

y = cost of slacks

z = cost of sports coat

 

From the given statements, we can create the following equations:

eqtn 1: 3 x + y = 10.96

eqtn 2:  7 x + 2 y + z = 30.40

eqtn 3:  4 x + z = 14.45

 

Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:

y = 10.96 – 3 x                    --> eqtn 4

 

Rewrite eqtn 3 explicit to z:

z = 14.45 – 4x                     --> eqtn 5

 

Plug in the values of y (eqtn 4) and z (eqtn 5) to eqtn 2:

7 x + 2 (10.96 – 3 x) + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

7 x + 21.92 – 6 x + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

- 3 x + 36.37 = 30.40

- 3 x = - 5.97

x = 1.99

 

Eqtn 4:

y = 10.96 – 3 x   

y = 10.96 – 3 (1.99)

y = 4.99

 

Eqtn 5:

z = 14.45 – 4x

z = 14.45 – 4 (1.99)

z = 6.49

 

 

Therefore each shirt cost $1.99, each slacks cost $4.99, and each sports coat cost $6.49.
