Solve the following C^2-14=5c

Mathematics

1 answer:

kipiarov [429]2 years ago

8 0

Answer:

c = - 2, c = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c² - 14 = 5c ( subtract 5c from both sides )

c² - 5c - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the c- term (- 5)

The factors are - 7 and + 2, since

- 7 × 2 = - 14 and - 7 + 2 = - 5, hence

(c - 7)(c + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for c

c - 7 = 0 ⇒ c = 7

c + 2 = 0 ⇒ c = - 2

A baker is building a rectangular solid box from cardboard to be able to safely deliver a birthday cake. The baker wants the vol

k0ka [10]

The length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

Let the length of the box be L.

Let the width of the box be W.

Let the height of the box be H.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Volume of box = 224 cubic inches.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression;

$W = 3 + L$ ......equation 1

$H = 4 + L$ ......equation 2.

Mathematically, the volume of a rectangular solid is given by the formula;

$Volume = length * width * height$ .....equation 3.

Substituting the values into equation, we have;

$224 = L * (3 + L) * (4 + L)\\\\224 = (3L + L^{2})* (4 + L)\\\\224 = 12L + 3L^{2} + 4L^{2} + L^{3} \\\\224 = 12L + 7L^{2} + L^{3}$

Rearranging the polynomial, we have;

$L^{3} + 7L^{2} + 12L - 224 = 0$

We would apply the remainder theorem to solve the polynomial.

According to the remainder theorem, if a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - r) and there is a remainder R; then P(r) = R.

When x = 3

$(x - 3) = 0\\x = 3$

$P(3) = 3^{3} + 7(3^{2}) + 12(3) - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 7(9) + 36 - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 63 + 36 - 224 = -98 \neq 0$

We would try with 4;

$P(4) = 4^{3} + 7(4^{2}) + 12(4) - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 7(16) + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 112 + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 224 - 224 = 0$

Therefore, 4 is one of its roots.

Hence, the length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

A statistician calculates that 8% of Americans own a Rolls Royce. If the statistician is right, what is the probability that the

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

0.007 = 0.7% probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

A statistician calculates that 8% of Americans own a Rolls Royce.

This means that $p = 0.08$

Sample of 595:

This means that $n = 595$

Mean and standard deviation:

$\mu = p = 0.08$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{595}} = 0.0111$

What is the probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?

Proportion above 8% + 3% = 11% or below 8% - 3% = 5%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, and so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability the proportion is less than 5%:

P-value of Z when X = 0.05. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.05 - 0.08}{0.0111}$

$Z = -2.7$

$Z = -2.7$ has a p-value of 0.0035

2*0.0035 = 0.0070

0.007 = 0.7% probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%
