The tempeture of chicken soup is 192.7 degrees F. As it cools the tempeture of the soup decreases 2.3F per minute.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to Part A, we can turn this into a simple equation:

192.7 - (2.3 times 25) = <em>temperature, </em>the missing value.

So therefore, after 25 minutes pass, the temperature is equal to

192.7 - 57.5, or:

135.2 = Answer to Part A.

Now, onto Part B. We can use <u>another</u> equation!

192.7 - 2.3x = 100.7

Now, we must solve the given equation, first by taking 100.7 from each side:

192.7 - 2.3x = 100.7

-100.7 -100.7

We are now left with: 92 - 2.3x = 0 - we must now add 2.3x to 2.3x and 0, giving us this:

92 = 2.3x, which is equivalent to 920 = 23x, if that is what you prefer to solve.

To give us our missing value (x), we can divide 920 by 23, giving us: x = 40. This is the answer to Part B: 40 minutes.

I hope this was really helpful! Tell me if you need any more help.

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of sqrt 4x + 41 = x+5

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{4x+41}=x+5$

on squaring both sides

$4x+41=(x+5)^2\\\\4x+41=x^2+10x+25\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\\\\x^2+8x-2x-16=0\\\\x(x+8)-2(x+8)=0\\\\(x-2)(x+8)=0$

either x-2=0 or x+8=0

either x=2 or x=-8

Putting x=2 in original equation, we get

$\sqrt{4\times 2+41}=2+5$

7=7 hence, it is not an extraneous solution

Putting x=-8 in original equation

$\sqrt{4\times (-8)+41}=-8+5$

i.e. 3=-3

Hence, x=-8 is an extraneous solution (since it doesn't satisfy the original equation)

Suppose a shipment of 190 electronic components contains 3 defective components. To determine whether the shipment should be ac

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

0.0467

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilty of being defective is $\frac{3}{190}$

So probability of being good is $\frac{187}{190}$

Now,

Probability that all 3 of them are good is:

$\frac{187}{190}^{3}=0.9533$

Now, to find probability of rejection, we subtract the now found probability from 1. Thus, we have:

1 - 0.9533 = 0.0467
