Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)

(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1

4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1

0= x²-8x

x²-8x=0

x²=8x

x=8

Semenov [28]

Answer:

rectangular tables

Step-by-step explanation:

x: how many tables

a) 49x/49=800/49

x=16.3

so roughly 16 tables

b) 64x/64=800/64

x= 12.5

so roughly 12(you round to nearest even number when it is .5)

c) Now we will calcuate how many people will fit using the number of fitting capacity

=16 (8)

128

=12(12)

=144

Therefore, the rect tables will fit more people

What is the quotient of -4/5 ÷ 8/9

Anna [14]

Answer:

-9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

when dividing fractions, the second fraction flips upside down. Then you just multiply.

-4/5 divided by 8/9 becomes -4/5 * 9/8 = -36/40 = -9/10

A research scientist wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of bacteria reproduces. The mean is found to be 13.6

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The confidence interval is $13.4< \mu < 13.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample mean is $\= x = 13.6$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 1.9$

The sample size is $n = 189$

given that the confidence level is 85% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = (100 - 85 )\%$

$\alpha = 0.15$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table the value is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.44$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.44* \frac{1.9}{\sqrt{189} }$

=> $E = 0.1990$

The 85% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\= x - E < \mu$

=> $13.6- 0.1990 < \mu < 13.6+ 0.1990$

=> $13.4< \mu < 13.8$

Prove that……………….xjejj jrf

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

$a^{-m}$ = $\frac{1}{a^{m} }$

$a^{\frac{m}{n} }$ = $\sqrt[n]{a^{m} }$

Given

$y^{-\frac{a}{b} }$

= $\frac{1}{y^{\frac{a}{b} } }$

= $\frac{1}{\sqrt[b]{y^{a} } }$
