Complete the equation to represent finding x, the greater integer. x(x – ) = 143 What is the greater integer?

Mathematics

Answer:

x * (x - 2) = 143

Where x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x (x - \_) = 143

Required

Complete the blank

The complete question implies that the product include 2 consecutive odd numbers.

Two numbers whose products equal 143 are: 11 and 13

i.e. 11 * 13 = 143

So, we have:

x * (x - \_) = 13 * 11

By comparison, we have:

x = 13

x - \_ = 11

Collect like terms

\_ = x - 11

Substitute 13 for x

\_ = 13 - 11

\_ = 2

So, the complete equation is:

x * (x - 2) = 143

Where x = 13

Dominique used the inequality below to find the maximum number of sweatshirts she could purchase with her savings.
Kruka [31]
We just have to find the closest number that can be multiplied by 32 and still be under 300. Do this by following this step:

Divide by 32 on both sides.

x < 9.375

We can't buy 9.375 sweatshirts though, and we can't add more decimals or it will go over 300, so you round down to 9.

Dominique can buy 9 sweatshirts without going over $300!

Flaws in concrete beams follow a Poisson process. Beams fabricated by process A have flaw rates of 10/meter while beams fabricat
Kay [80]

Answer:

P(A | Y = 8) =  0.633

Step-by-step explanation:

It is really a simple and interesting question, as it involves the Poisson distribution and probability.

First of all, let's try to understand the problem statement clearly. It says that there are two process by which beams are made, namely A and B.

It further states that, beam made by process A has = 10 flaws per meter.

Beam made by process B has = 5 flaws per meter.

Finally, it says that from a yard containing equal numbers of process A and process B beans, one beam is randomly selected and 1 - meter of it is inspected. And they have found 8 flaws in it.

We now, have to find out the probability that the inspected beam is from process A.

For this,

Let's suppose, Y is no. of flaws

So,

P (Y=8|A) = \frac{e^{-10}. 10^{8}  }{8!}

where , e = Euler's Constant = 2.71828

P (Y=8|A) = 0.11

Similarly for process B

P (Y=8|B) = \frac{e^{-5}. 5^{8}  }{8!}

P (Y=8|B) = 0.06

As, we know from the problem statement that there are equal numbers of process A and process B beams.

So, the probability of A = Probability of B = 0.5

P(A) = 0.5

P(B) = 0.5

We need to find, P(A|Y=8) and for this we need to find the P(Y=8) first.

Using the law of total probability:

P(Y=8) =  P(Y = 8 |A) P(A) + P(Y = 8|B) P(B)

Plug in the values:

P(Y=8) = (0.11 x 0.5) + (0.06 x 0.5)

P(Y=8) = 0.088

Now, by applying Bayes Theorem, we can find the required probability:

P(A | Y = 8) = P(Y = 8 | A) P(A) / P(Y = 8)

8 flaws are found, the probability the inspected beam was fabricated using process A is :

P(A | Y = 8) = 0.11 x 0.5 / 0.088

P(A | Y = 8) =  0.633

Furthermore,

8 flaws are found, the probability the inspected beam was fabricated using process B is :

P(B | Y = 8) = 1-P(A | Y = 8)

P(B | Y = 8) = 1 - 0.633

P(B | Y = 8) = 0.367

Circle A has a radius of 9 centimeters and Circle B has a diameter of 19 centimeters. What is the relationship between the circu
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

18:19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of circle A = 9 cm

The diameter of circle B = 19 cm

We know that,

Radius = diameter/2

The radius of circle B = 19/2 cm

The circumference of circle A is :

C_A=2\pi r_A ....(1)

And that of circle B is :

C_B=2\pi r_B ....(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{C_A}{C_B}=\dfrac{2\pi r_A}{2\pi r_B}\\\\=\dfrac{r_A}{r_B}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{\dfrac{19}{2}}\\\\\dfrac{C_A}{C_B}=\dfrac{18}{19}

Hence, the ratio of circumferences of Circle A and Circle B is 18:19.

Explain how you would find the sign of the quotient 32 divided by -2 divided by -16÷4
Dahasolnce [82]
This may not be the best explanation but hopefully at the very least it'll guide you!
When you multiply or divide a negative by another negative, you get a positive. When it is a negative and a positive, it remains negative.
Assuming your question simplified into a equation (or number form? Been a while, haha!) is 32÷-2÷(-16÷4), it would end as a positive. Because you first divide the positive 32 by a negative 2, you get a negative. Because -16÷4 is in parenthesis, it is done because following the rest of the equation (P.E.M.D.A.S.!), it would be 32÷-2÷-4. Going from left to right, as you should, it results in a negative being divided by another negative, so you get a positive. 32÷-2÷(-16÷4) = 32÷-2÷-4 = -16÷-4 = 2!
