Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given x² - 6x - 21 = 0 ( add 21 to both sides )

x² - 6x = 21

to complete the square

• add ( half the coefficient of the x-term)² to both sides

x² + 2 (- 3)x +9 = 21 + 9

(x - 3)² = 30 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{30} ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± \sqrt{30}

x = 3 - \sqrt{30} = - 2.48 ( to 2 dec. places ) or

x = 3 + \sqrt{30} = 8.48 ( to 2 dec. places )

Calculating the degrees of freedom, the sample variance, and the estimated standard error for evaluations using the t statistic
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a) For the first part we have a sample of n =10 and we want to find the degrees of freedom, and we can use the following formula:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

d.9

b) s^2 = \frac{SS}{n-1}= \frac{600}{41-1}= 15

a.15

c) For this case we have the sample size n = 25 and the sample variance is s^2 =400 , the standard error can founded with this formula:

SE = \frac{s^2}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{400}{\sqrt{25}}= 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For the first part we have a sample of n =10 and we want to find the degrees of freedom, and we can use the following formula:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

d.9

Part b

From a sample we know that n=41 and SS= 600, where SS represent the sum of quares given by:

SS = \sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2

And the sample variance for this case can be calculated from this formula:

s^2 = \frac{SS}{n-1}= \frac{600}{41-1}= 15

a.15

Part c

For this case we have the sample size n = 25 and the sample variance is s^2 =400 , the standard error can founded with this formula:

SE = \frac{s^2}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{400}{\sqrt{25}}= 80

Solve for x. 83 = 35^x Express the answer to the hundredths place (i.e., two digits after the decimal point). x =
devlian [24]

Answer:

x = 1.24

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get that x down from its current position of exponential, you need to take either the log or the natural log of both sides.  The power rule tells us that we can then pull the exponent down in front.  So let's take the natural log of both sides:

ln(83)=ln(35)^x

We can bring the x down in front to give us:

ln(83) = x ln(35)

The right side of this is "stuck" together by multiplication, so we can undo that multilication by division of the ln(35).  That leaves us with just x on the right:

\frac{ln(83)}{ln(35)}=x

Do this on your calculator and find that x = 1.24

Give an example of a repeating decimal where two digits repeat. Explain why your number is a rational number?
Assoli18 [71]
An example of a repeating decimal would be 6.78787878. a rational number is a number that can be represented a/b where a and b are integers and b isnt equal to 0, so a<span>ny decimal number that is repeating can be written in the form a/b with b not equal to zero so it is a rational number</span>

Why is the percent not the same as the percent you find from he percent of money
nexus9112 [7]
Percentage is a way to express a relation between two numbers as a fraction of 100<span>. In other words, the percentage tells us how one number relates to another. If we know that number A is </span>25%<span> of number </span>B<span>, we know that </span>A<span> to </span>B<span> is like </span>25<span> is to </span>100<span> (one more transformation: </span>A<span> is four times smaller than </span>B<span>). This is Percentage Calculator's lesson on what is percentage. 
  But in money a percent is how many cents past the dollar the number is.</span>
