Answer:

-15, -17

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 32x = –255 move the -255 to the left

x^2 + 32x +255=0

What two number when multiplied equal 255? Those same two numbers when added make 32. 17*15 make 255 and added is 32

(x+15)(x+17) For x+15=0 move the 15 to the other side. x= -15. Same with x+17=0 is x= -17

x= -15, -17

Find the area of the figure.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

20 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows a triangle whose;

Base AC is 8 units
Height is 5 units

We are supposed to get its area;

Area of a triangle is given by the formula;

Area = 0.5×b×h

Thus;

Area = 0.5 × 8 units × 5 units

= 20 square units

Hence, the area of the figure is 20 square units

Part (a)

$\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{10}=\frac{4}{10}=\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}$

Part (b)

$200\left(\frac{2}{5} \right)=\boxed{80}$

In a manufacturing process a random sample of 9 bolts manufactured has a mean length of 3 inches with a standard deviation of .3

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The correct option is (C) (2.769, 3.231).

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for mean when the standard deviation is not known is:

$CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given:

$\bar x = 3\\s=0.3\\n=9\\\alpha =1-0.95=0.05$

Compute the critical value as follows:

$t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=t_{0.05/2, (9-1)}=t_{0.025, 8}=2.31$

**Use a t-table.

The 95% confidence interval for true mean length of the bolt is:

$CI=\bar x\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\=3\pm 2.31\times \frac{0.30}{\sqrt{9}}\\ =3\pm 0.231\\=(2.769, 3.231)$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for true mean length of the bolt is (2.769, 3.231).

The correct option is (C).
