Answer: (10.1989,\ 11.0011)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=69

Sample mean : \overline{x}=10.6

Standard deviation : s=1.7

Significance level : \alpha:1-0.95=0.05

Then , Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The formula to confidence interval is given by : -

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 10.6\pm (1.96)\dfrac{1.7}{\sqrt{69}}\\\\\approx10.6\pm0.4011=(10.6-0.4011,10.6+0.4011)=(10.1989,\ 11.0011)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for big chip cookies= (10.1989,\ 11.0011)

Solve for x 0=3x^2+3x+7​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

x =(3-√-75)/-6=1/-2+5i/6√ 3 = -0.5000-1.4434i

x =(3+√-75)/-6=1/-2-5i/6√ 3 = -0.5000+1.4434i

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    0-(3*x^2+3*x+7)=0

Step by step solution:

Step  1:

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 0 -  ((-3x^{2} +  3x) +  7)  = 0  

<u>Step  2:</u>

Pulling out like terms:

2.1     Pull out like factors:

  -3x^{2} - 3x - 7  =   -1 • (3x^{2} + 3x + 7)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.2     Factoring  3x^{2} + 3x + 7

The first term is,  3x^{2}  its coefficient is  3 .

The middle term is,  +3x  its coefficient is  3 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +7

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   3 • 7 = 21

Step-2 : Find two factors of  21  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   3 .

     -21    +    -1    =    -22

     -7    +    -3    =    -10

     -3    +    -7    =    -10

     -1    +    -21    =    -22

     1    +    21    =    22

     3    +    7    =    10

     7    +    3    =    10

     21    +    1    =    22

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 -3x^{2} - 3x - 7  = 0

<u>Step  3:</u>

Parabola, Finding the Vertex:

3.1      Find the Vertex of   y = -3x^{2}-3x-7

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is  -0.5000  

Plugging into the parabola formula  -0.5000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :

 y = -3.0 * -0.50 * -0.50 - 3.0 * -0.50 - 7.0

or   y = -6.250

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = -3x^{2}-3x-7

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={-0.50}

Vertex at  {x,y} = {-0.50,-6.25}

Function has no real roots

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

3.2     Solving   -3x^{2}-3x-7 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Multiply both sides of the equation by  (-1)  to obtain positive coefficient for the first term:

3x^{2}+3x+7 = 0  Divide both sides of the equation by  3  to have 1 as the coefficient of the first term :

  x^{2}+x+(7/3) = 0

Subtract  7/3  from both side of the equation :

  x^{2}+x = -7/3

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  1 , divide by two, giving  1/2 , and finally square it giving  1/4

Add  1/4  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  -7/3  +  1/4   The common denominator of the two fractions is  12   Adding  (-28/12)+(3/12)  gives  -25/12

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x^{2}+x+(1/4) = -25/12

Adding  1/4  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x^{2}+x+(1/4)  =

  (x+(1/2)) • (x+(1/2))  =

 (x+(1/2))2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x^{2}+x+(1/4) = -25/12 and

  x^{2}+x+(1/4) = (x+(1/2))2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x+(1/2))2 = -25/12

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #3.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

  (x+(1/2))2   is

  (x+(1/2))2/2 =

 (x+(1/2))1 =

  x+(1/2)

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to  Eq. #4.2.1  we get:

  x+(1/2) = √ -25/12

Subtract  1/2  from both sides to obtain:

  x = -1/2 + √ -25/12

 √ 3   , rounded to 4 decimal digits, is   1.7321

So now we are looking at:

          x  =  ( 3 ± 5 •  1.732 i ) / -6

Two imaginary solutions :

x =(3+√-75)/-6=1/-2-5i/6√ 3 = -0.5000+1.4434i

 or:

x =(3-√-75)/-6=1/-2+5i/6√ 3 = -0.5000-1.4434i

Solve the equation <br>y=2x-4, 3x+y=11​
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

(3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 2x - 4 → (1)

3x + y = 11 → (2)

Substitute y = 2x - 4 into (2)

3x + 2x - 4 = 11

5x - 4 = 11 ( add 4 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2

Solution is (3, 2)

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

You have a right triangle.

a^2+b^2=c^2

4^2+b^2=256

16+b^2=256

b^2=256-16

b^2=240

b=sqrt240

b=15.49 ft. ans. for the height of the ladder up the wall.

Um can some one pls explain this​
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

the answer is c) 182.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided gives you a scale that will ultimately allow you to determine the height of the larger cylinder.

Since it tells us the two are similar, we can use the scale to solve for the second height.

Set up your math like this:

\frac{16}{h}=\frac{64}{729}

h represents the height you are trying to find.

using a common multiple, you can solve for h.

16 times 4 is 64. so 729 divided by 4 is 182.25
