Well, you really need to think on this one. The shorter piece can be four inches long. See, when you multiply four by two, you get eight. And when you add four and eight together, you get twelve inches, which is one foot.

The stick is L feet long


the2 pieces aer x and y
x=2y
x+y=L
sub 2y for x
2y+y=L
3y=L
divide by 3
y=L/3

the shorter piece is L/3 feet long if the original stick is L feet long

The box plot was created by using which pieces of data? A) an upper quartile of 56 and a median of 50 B) a lower quartile of 56
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

A) an upper quartile of 56 and a median of 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The lower and upper ends "box" from the box and whiskers plot is determined by the first (Q₁) and third (Q₃) quartiles of the data set and the line inside the box marks the median or second quartile of the sample (Q₂)

The length of the whiskers of the diagram is determined by the minimum value (left whisker) and the maximum value (right whisker)

If you observe the graphic:

Q₁= 42

Q₂= 50 (Median)

Q₃= 56

Min= 38

Max= 66

The box is delimited by a lower quartile of 42 and an upper quartile of 56, with a median 50, the least observation is 38 and the highest observation is 66.

The correct choice is A.

I hope this helps!

A power system will collapse if a ground fault occurs on any two of lines A, B, and C simultaneously. Assume that ground faults
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways the system can fail:

2 lines from a set of 3 fail, or all three fail.

Two from a set of 3:

Can be A and B, A and C, or B and C. Three possible outcomes then.

The probability of each is:

0.01*0.01*0.99

Two failling, each with 0.01 probability, and 1 working, with 0.99 probability.

All three:

Each with 0.01 probability.

a) What is the probability that the system will collapse

Both cases, so

p = 3*(0.01)^2*0.99 + (0.01)^3 = 0.000298

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Solve 5x^2+2x=1 using either factoring, square root method, completing the square or quadratic formula.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = -1 ± √6 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 5x^{2} + 2x = 1

move 1 to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.

5x^{2} + 2x - 1 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.

-b± \sqrt{b^2 - 4 (ac)}/ 2a

Substitute the values a = 5 , b = 2, and c = -1 into the quadratic formula and solve for x

-2±\sqrt{2^2 - 4(5 - 1)}/ 2 ⋅ 5

Simplify.

x = -2 ± 2 \sqrt{6}/ 10

x = -1 ± \sqrt{6}/ 5

Exact Form:

x = -1 ± \sqrt{6}/ 5
