Let
x--------> <span>the rectangle's length
y-------> </span><span>the rectangle's width

we now that
Area of rectangle=x*y
Area=256 cm</span>²
<span>256=x*y-------> equation 1

y=4x-48------> y=4x-48------> equation 2

substitute equation 2 in equation 1

256=x*[4x-48]-----> 256=4x</span>²-48x
4x²-48x-256=0
<span>
using  a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=16 cm
y=4x-48----> y=4*16-48-----> y=16 cm

is a square

the answer is
</span>the rectangle's length is 16 cm

After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only three women among the last
mixer [17]

Answer:

0.00071 = 0.71% probability of getting three or fewer women when 21 people are hired. This probability, which is very small, supports the charge of gender discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each employee hired, the are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of a person hired being a man or a woman is independent of any other person. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

21 new employees.

This means that n = 21

She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women.

This means that p = 0.5

Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting three or fewer women when 21 people are hired.

This is

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{21,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{21} \approx 0

P(X = 1) = C_{21,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{20} = 0.00001

P(X = 2) = C_{21,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{19} = 0.0001

P(X = 3) = C_{21,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{18} = 0.0006

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0 + 0.00001 + 0.0001 + 0.0006 = 0.00071

0.00071 = 0.71% probability of getting three or fewer women when 21 people are hired. This probability, which is very small, supports the charge of gender discrimination.

If f(x) = x2, and<br> g(x) = x – 1, then<br> f(g(x)) = [? ]x2+[?]+ [?]
Basile [38]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = x² - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(g(x)), substitute x = g(x) into f(x) , that is

f(g(x))

= f(x - 1)

= (x - 1)² ← expand using FOIL

= x² - 2x + 1

Can anybody help me?
lakkis [162]

You know that 6x+3 equals 45 because the two sides are equal. So you first put the equation 6x+3=45. Then you use the subtraction property of equality and subtract 3 from both sides. This gives you 6x=42. Then you divide 6 from both sides to get you final answer, x=7

Jonathan uploaded some original songs and also some pictures. alissa uploaded four times as many songs, but only uploaded twice
lesya [120]

X is the number of songs and Y the number of pics

our 2 equations will be - X+y=11 & 4x+2y=24

consider x=11-y

Lets replace x in 2:

=4(11-y) +2y=24

=44-4y+2y=24

=44-24= 4y-2y

=20= 2y

=Y=20/2

=Y=10

Lets replace y in 1

=X+10=11

=X=11-10

=X=1
