If B is the midpoint of AC, AB = 8x + 5, and BC = 5x2 - 16, then find x and AC

Murljashka [212]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 8x + 5

BC = 5x² - 16

5x² -  16 = 8x + 5

5x² - 8x - 21 = 0

Quadratic formula

x = [8 ± √(8² – 4·5(-21))] / [2·5]

 = [8 ± √484] / 10

 = [8 ± 22] /10

 = -1.4, 3

-1.4 is an extraneous solution.

x = 3

AB = 8x+5 = 29

AC = 58

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

  • -2.2
  • 1.4%
  • -0.6
  • 27.4%
  • 26%
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The z-value is computed from ...

... z = (x -µ)/σ

... z = (184 -206)/10 = -2.2 . . . . for $184

... z = (200 -206)/10 = -0.6 . . . . for $200

You can look up these values in a normal distribution table, or you can use an appropriate calculator to find the corresponding percentiles.

... -2.2 corresponds to the 1.390 percentile. (That amount of area is below -2.2 standard deviations from the mean.)

... -0.6 corresponds to the 27.425 percentile.

Subtracting the two percentages gives the percentage of expenses between $184 and $200. That number is 26.035% ≈ 26%.

_____

<em>Comment on the calculator display</em>

The difference that got cut off from the display in the attachment is ...

... 0.2603496703

The <em>normalcdf( )</em> function requires a lower limit. Using -8 standard deviations is effectively equivalent to -∞ for this purpose, as any lower number has no effect on the least-significant digits of the result.

A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h. How many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks?
Over [174]

Answer:

84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets how many how to change oz to cup

- One cup contains 8 oz

- We can use the ratio to solve this problem

- A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h

- We need to find how many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks

∵ The rate of the water leak out is 2 oz/hr

∵ 1 cup contains 8 oz

∴ 1 oz = \frac{1}{8} cup

∴ 2 oz = 2 × \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} cup

∴ The rate of the water leak out = \frac{1}{4} cup/h

∵ 1 day = 24 hours

∵ 1 week = 7 days

∴ 1 week = 7 × 24 = 168 hours

∵ The number of hours in 1 week is 168

∴ The number of hours in 2 weeks = 168 × 2 = 336 hours

⇒    cups    :    hours

⇒      \frac{1}{4}         :   1

⇒     x         :    336

- By using cross multiplication

∴ x = 336 × \frac{1}{4}

∴ x = 84

- x represents the number of cups of water leak out

<em>84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks</em>

What are the solutions to
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

B and F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 4x + 4 = 12 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x² + 4x = 8

Using the method of completing the square to solve for x

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 8 + 4, that is

(x + 2)² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± \sqrt{12} ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{12} - 2

  = ± 2\sqrt{3} - 2

Hence

x = 2\sqrt{3} - 2 → B

x = - 2\sqrt{3} - 2 → F
