Use the perfect square method (3x + 3)^2 = 36

Mathematics

kkurt [141]3 years ago
8 0

Factor out the common term; 3

(3(x + 1))^2 = 36

Use the Multiplication Distributive Property; (xy)^a = x^ay^a

3^2(x + 1)^2 = 36

Simplify 3^2 to 9

9(x + 1)^2 = 36

Divide both sides by 9

(x + 1)^2 = 36/9

Simplify 36/9 to 4

(x + 1)^2 = 4

Take the square root of both sides

x + 1 = √4

Since 2 * 2 = 4, the square root of 2 is 2

x + 1 = 2

Break down the problem into these 2 equations

x + 1 = 2

x + 1 = -2

Solve the first equation; x + 1 = 2

x = 1

Solve the second equation; x + 1 = -2

x = -3

Collect all solutions;

<u>x = 1, -3</u>

The sum of 5 consecutive numbers is -5. What is the largest out of the numbers?
xxTIMURxx [149]
We can say that x is the largest number.

So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5

Now solve for x:

x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5

5x - 10 = -5

5x = 5

x = 1

So the largest number is 1.

Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3   =   -2 + -3   =   -5 so 1 is correct.

The average cost of tuition, room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is reported to be $8,500 per term, but a fina
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The test statistic for this test is 3.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H_{0} = 8500

The alternate hypotesis is:

H_{1} > 8500

Our test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

X = 8745, \mu = 8500, \sigma = 1200, n = 350

So

t = \frac{8745 - 8500}{\frac{1200}{\sqrt{350}}} = 3.82

The test statistic for this test is 3.82.
