First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1
Answer:
The equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a quadratic function passes through the points ( − 5 , − 8 ) and ( 8 , − 8 ) .
In the given points y-coordinates are same, i.e., -8. It means both the points lie on the horizontal line y=-8.
If a quadratic function passes through two points (a,c) and (b,c), then the equation for the axis of symmetry is
According to the given points a=-5, b=8 and c=-8. Put these value in the above formula.
Therefore the equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
Answer:
k+2 or k=2
Step-by-step explanation:
combine -5 and 7 to get your answer
2(x+1)+3x=37
simplifythe left side:
2x +2 +3x = 37
Combine like terms:
5x +2 = 37
Subtract 2 from both sides:
5x = 35
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 7
Answer:
d. There is a 98% chance that the true proportion of customers who click on ads on their smartphones is between 0.56 and 0.62.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval:
x% confidence
Of a sample
Between a and b.
Interpretation: We are x% sure(or there is a x% probability/chance) that the population mean is between a and b.
In this question:
I suppose(due to the options) there was a small typing mistake, and we have a 98% confidence interval between 0.56 and 0.62.
Interpreation: We are 98% sure, or there is a 98% chance, that the true population proportion of customers who click on ads on their smartphones is between 0.56 and 0.62. Option d.
