Answer:

The width of the is 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the width of the frame is x

∵ The width of the fame is x inches

→ That means each dimension will increase by 2x ⇒ x from each side

∵ The portrait has dimensions of 30“ x 60“

∴ Its dimensions including the frame = (30 + 2x) × (60 + 2x)

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x)

→ Multiply the brackets

∵ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 30(60) + 30(2x) + 2x(60) + (2x)(2x)

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 60x + 120x + 4x²

→ Add the like terms

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 180x + 4x²

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 4x² + 180x + 1800

∵ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 2584 square inches

→ Equate the two right sides of the area

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 = 2584

→ Subtract 2584 from both sides

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 - 2584 = 0

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ 4x² + 180x - 784 = 0

→ Divide all terms by 4 to simplify

∴ x² + 45x - 196 = 0

→ Factorize it to find the value of x

∵ x² + 45x - 196 = (x - 4)(x + 49)

→ Equate the right side by 0

∴ (x - 4)(x + 49) = 0

→ Equate each factor by 0

∵ x - 4 = 0  

→ Add 4 to both sides to find x

∴ x = 4

∵ x + 49 = 0

→ Subtract 49 from both sides to find x

∴ x = -49 ⇒ refused it x can not be -ve (no negative dimensions)

∴ The width of the is 4 inches

Answer:

5 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

15 ÷ 3 = 5.

with 2 leftover, you will have 2/3

5 + 2/3 = 5 2/3

A survey of an urban university (population of 25,450) showed that 870 of 1,100 students sampled supported a fee increase to fun
Katen [24]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of students supporting the fee increase is [0.767, 0.815]. Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for a proportion is given as [p +/- margin of error (E)]

p is sample proportion = 870/1,100 = 0.791

n is sample size = 1,100

confidence level (C) = 95% = 0.95

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = 5%

critical value (z) at 5% significance level is 1.96.

E = z × sqrt[p(1-p) ÷ n] = 1.96 × sqrt[0.791(1-0.791) ÷ 1,100] = 1.96 × 0.0123 = 0.024

Lower limit of proportion = p - E = 0.791 - 0.024 = 0.767

Upper limit of proportion = p + E = 0.791 + 0.024 = 0.815

95% confidence interval for the proportion of students supporting the fee increase is between a lower limit of 0.767 and an upper limit of 0.815.

On a number line, point A has a coordinate of −6, and point B has a coordinate of 2. Which is the coordinate of point M, the mid
klasskru [66]
To solve this, we just need to find the distance between the points A and B in the number line, and then, divide that distance by 2.
Remember that the distance formula between tow point in the number line is: 
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
From our point we can infer that x_{1}=-6 and x_{2}=2, so lets replace the values:
d=|x_{2}-x_{1}|
d=|2-(-6)|
d=|2+6|
d=8

Now, to find the coordinate of the midpoint, we just need to divide that distance by 2:
M= \frac{8}{2}
M=4

We can conclude that the coordinate of the point M, the midpoint of AB, is 4
