Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Brittany paints the room in x hours, completing 1/x of the room per hour.

Ashley paints the room in x+2 hours, completing 1/(x+2) of the room per hour.

Working together, they complete 1/x + 1/(x+2) = ⅐ of the room per hour.

7(x+2) + 7x = x(x+2)

14x + 15 = x^2 + 2x

x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0

x = [12 ±√(12²+60)]/2= 6±√51

6-√51 is an extraneous solution.

x = 6+√51 ≈ 13.14

Brittany paints the room in 12.14 hours

La profesora de matemáticas solicita a dos estudiantes que describan las cosas que les han parecido interesantes de los números
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Respuesta D

Step-by-step explanation:

Paola afirma: Todo número compuesto par, se puede escribir como la multiplicación de factores primos.

Esta afirmación es cierta, pues es un caso  de la afirmación de que todo número natural mayor que uno se puede escribir como multiplicación de números primos. A este proceso se le llama descomposición en factores primos.

Edwin afirma: Todo número compuesto impar se puede escribir como la suma de dos números primos.

Esta afirmación es falsa. Note que al sumar dos números impares de la forma 2k+1 y 2m+1 para k distinto de m, se obtiene

2k+1+2m+1 = 2(km+1)

Es decir, la suma de dos números impares es siempre par.

Note que a excepción de 2, todo número primo es impar. Para que esta afirmación fuera cierta, necesariamente tendría que pasar que cualquier número impar k se escriba de la forma p+2 donde p es un número primo. Esto es equivalente que para cualquier número impar k, el número k-2 sea primo.

Basta con dar un ejemplo para ver que esto no pasa. Tomemos k=11. En este caso, k-2 = 9, el cuál no es un número primo. Entonces 11 no se puede  descomponer como la suma de dos números primos.

Identify whether the given value is a statistic or parameter:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The value is a statistic, since it is from a sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value is from a population, it is a parameter.

Otherwise, if the value is from a sample, it is a statistic.

In this question:

In a random sample of U.S. households, it was found that 72% have high-speed Internet.

The value is from a sample, so it is a statistic.
