Answer:

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation using the square area formula, A = s²

Let x represent the original side length:

(x + 3)² = 64

Simplify:

x² + 6x + 9 = 64

Subtract 64 from both sides:

x² + 6x - 55

Factor by finding 2 factors of -55 that add up to 6:

(x + 11)(x - 5) = 0

Solve for the 2 solutions:

x + 11 = 0

x = -11

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

The side length cannot be be negative, so the answer is 5.

The side length of the original square is 5 m.

Good advertising accounts for 35% of a stores revenue. If the stores revenue for last week was $12,400, how much of the revenue

Gwar [14]

stores revenue = $12,400

35 % of 12,400 = revenue for good advertising

= 35 / 100 × 12,400

= $4,340

so from $12,400 $4,340 was earned due to good advertising

What is the y-intercept of the line?

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

For the following hypothesis test, determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Also, classify the hypothesis test as two-tail

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Option B:

$H_0: \mu = 22.1$

$H_a: \mu \neq 22.1$

Classification:

The hypothesis test is Two-tailed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this country is 22.1 months.

This means that the null hypothesis is that the mean is of 22.1 months, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 22.1$

A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this city differs from the national mean of 22.1 months.

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this mean is different of 22.1, that is:

$H_a: \mu \neq 22.1$

Which means that the answer is given by option b).

Which of the following is the correct classification of the hypothesis test?

We test if the mean is different from a value, which means that the hypothesis test is Two-tailed.
