Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)

Their reciprocals are \frac{1}{2x + 1 }    and \frac{1}{2x + 3 }

\frac{1}{2x+1}+\frac{1}{2x+3}=\frac{44}{483}\\\\\frac{1*(2x+3)}{(2x+1)(2x+3)}+\frac{1*(2x+1)}{(2x+3)(2x+1)}=\frac{44}{483}\\\\\frac{2x + 3 + 2x +1}{(2x + 1)(2x+3)}=\frac{44}{483}\\\\\frac{4x + 4}{4x^{2}+8x+3}=\frac{44}{483}\\

483*(4x+4) = 44*(4x² + 8x + 3)

483*4x + 483*4 = 44*4x² + 44*8x  + 44*3

1932x + 1932 = 176x² + 352x + 132

176x² + 352x + 132 -1932x - 1932 = 0      

Combine like terms

176x² + 352x - 1932x - 1932 + 132 = 0

176x² - 1580x - 1800 = 0

Divide the equation by 4

44x² - 395x - 450 = 0

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ ≥ 50000

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 50000

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = lifetime of the tyres

µ = mean lifetime

σ = standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 50000 miles

x = 45800 miles

σ = 8000

n = 29

z = (50000 - 45800)/(8000/√29) = - 2.83

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9977

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.9977, then we would accept the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, the data is not highly consistent with the claim.

A tub contain 10 litre 600 millitres of water, if 9 litre 400 millitres of water is further added to its, what will be total wat
Sonja [21]

Answer:

If 9 liters 400 millitres of water is further added, there will be 20 liters of water in the tub.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a tub contains 10 liters 600 millitres of water, to determine, if 9 liters 400 millitres of water is further added to this, what will be total water in the tub, the following calculation must be performed:

1 liter = 1000 milliliters

0.6 liters = 600 milliliters

10.6 + 9.4 = X

20 = X

Therefore, if 9 liters 400 millitres of water is further added, there will be 20 liters of water in the tub.

Please help me thanks
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

117.53 feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start off we need to find the area of the pentagon.

The formula for the area of a pentagon is weird so I’m not going to write it but you can search it up.

So the area would be 27.53 inches^2.

Now for the triangles.

There is 5 triangles in total with a base of 4 and a height of 9.

So the area of one is base*height divided by two.

So it would be 18.

Now we can just multiply 18 by 5 which is 90 feet^2.

So when we add up 90 and 27.53 we get 117.53 feet^2.
