Solve the following equation 2/3x+6=1/2x+1/4x

Mathematics

Answer:

x= 72

Step-by-step explanation:

combine the Xs on one side and then make the denominators the same and solve

8/12X +6 = 3/4X

sub 6 on both sides

then sub 3/4 (aka. 9/12)

-1/12X= -6

multiply by reciprocal (the fraction flip-flopped)(-12) on both sides

and you get 72

Answer:

6. (A, B, C) ≈ (112.4°, 29.5°, 38.0°)

7. (a, b, C) ≈ (180.5, 238.5, 145°)

Step-by-step explanation:

My "work" is to make use of a triangle solver calculator. The results are attached. Triangle solvers are available for phone or tablet and on web sites. Many graphing calculators have triangle solvers built in.

We suppose you're to make use of the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines, as applicable.

6. When 3 sides are given, the Law of Cosines can be used to find the angles. For example, angle A can be found from ...

A = arccos((b² +c² -a²)/(2bc))

A = arccos((8² +10² -15²)/(2·8·10)) = arccos(-61/160) = 112.4°

The other angles can be found by permuting the variables appropriately.

B = arccos((225 +100 -64)/(2·15·10) = arccos(261/300) ≈ 29.5°

The third angle can be found as the supplement to the other two.

C = 180° -112.411° -29.541° = 38.048° ≈ 38.0°

The angles (A, B, C) are about (112.4°, 29.5°, 38.0°).

7. When insufficient information is given for the Law of Cosines, the Law of Sines can be useful. It tells us side lengths are proportional to the sine of the opposite angle. With two angles, we can find the third, and with any side length, we can then find the other side lengths.

C = 180° -A -B = 145°

a = c(sin(A)/sin(C)) = 400·sin(15°)/sin(145°) ≈ 180.49

b = c(sin(B)/sin(C)) = 400·sin(20°)/sin(145°) ≈ 238.52

The measures (a, b, C) are about (180.5, 238.5, 145°).

x2 - 10x + _ "find value that completes the square and rewrite as perfect square" what does it mean by "rewrite as perfect squar

abruzzese [7]

A perfect square is something times that same thing. Example (x+2)(x+2)

The reason it's called a perfect square is because it can be re-written as a squared function:

$(x+2)(x+2) = (x+2)^{2}$

To obtain information on the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit, 45 specimens are buried in soil

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

statistic value t= 5.43

p-value: < 0.00001.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To obtain information over the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit a random sample of 45 specimens was taken and buried for two years.

The study variable is:

X: Max. penetration of a steel conduit.

The data of the sample

n= 45

sample mean X[bar]= 53.4

sample standard deviation S= 4.2

The conduits are manufactured to have a true average penetration of at most 50 mills, symbolically: μ ≤ 50

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ ≤ 50

H₁: μ > 50

α: 0.05

To choose the corresponding statistic to use to study the population mean, the variable must have a normal distribution. There is no available information to check this, so I'll just assume that the variable has a normal distribution and, since the population variance is unknown and the sample is small, the statistic to use is a Student t.

Under the null hypothesis, the critical region and the p-value are one-tailed.

Critical value:

$t_{n-1; 1-\alpha } = t_{44; 0.95} = 1.68$

Rejection rule:

Reject the null hypothesis when t ≥ 1.68

t= $\frac{53.4 - 50}{\frac{4.2}{\sqrt{45} } }$

t= 5.43

The calculated value is greater than the critical value, thedecision is to rject the null hypothesis.

p-value:

P(t ≥ 5.43) = 1 - P(t < 5.43) = < 0.00001.

The p-value is less than α so the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Since the null hypothesis was rejected, then the population average of the penetration of the conduits specimens is greater than 50 mils. It is not recommendable to use these conduits.

I hope it helps!

A manufacturer must test that his bolts are 4.00 cm long when they come off the assembly line. He must recalibrate his machines

storchak [24]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_o: \mu = 4$ .

The alternate hypothesis is $H_a: \mu \neq 4$

The pvalue of the test is 0.0182 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence to show that the manufacturer needs to recalibrate the machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer must test that his bolts are 4.00 cm long when they come off the assembly line.

This means that the null hypothesis is that they are 4.00 cm long, that is:

$H_o: \mu = 4$

At the alternate hypothesis we test if it is different. So

$H_a: \mu \neq 4$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 4$

After sampling 196 randomly selected bolts off the assembly line, he calculates the sample mean to be 4.14 cm.

This means that $n = 196, X = 4.14$

He knows that the population standard deviation is 0.83 cm.

This means that $\sigma = 0.83$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{4.14 - 4}{\frac{0.83}{\sqrt{196}}}$

$z = 2.36$

Pvalue of the test and decision:

The pvalue of the test is the probability that the sample mean is different by at least 4.14 - 4 = 0.14 from the target value, which is P(|z| > 2.36), which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -2.36.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.36 has a pvalue of 0.0091

2*0.0091 = 0.0182

The pvalue of the test is 0.0182 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence to show that the manufacturer needs to recalibrate the machines.
