Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2

Theater A charges $5 for tickets and $2 per snack that is bought. Theater B

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

the answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

as soon as you go to the theater, you HAVE to pay $5 in theater a, with two dollars for ONE snack bought, and it says two dollars PER one snack bought. therefore if x was 2, so if someone wanted to buy 2 snacks, then you would multiply by 2 to get the total cost, or y, for the snacks. answer d is the only one that has the correct numbers in the correct places for theater a and b.

hope this helps!

PLZ HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br> Simplify. <br> −4x^2(5x^4−3x^2+x−2)

Simora [160]

$\bold{Answer}$

$\boxed{\bold{-20x^6+12x^4-4x^3+8x^2}}$

$\bold{Explanation}$

$\bold{Simplify: \ -4x^2\left(5x^4-3x^2+x-2\right)}$

$\bold{------------------}$

$\bold{Distribute \ Parenthesis}$

$\bold{\left(-4x^2\right)\cdot \:5x^4+\left(-4x^2\right)\left(-3x^2\right)+\left(-4x^2\right)x+\left(-4x^2\right)\left(-2\right)}$

$\bold{Apply \ Addition \ / \ Subtraction \ Rules: \ +\left(-a\right)=-a,\:\:\left(-a\right)\left(-b\right)=ab}$

$\bold{-4\cdot \:5x^4x^2+4\cdot \:3x^2x^2-4x^2x+4\cdot \:2x^2}$

$\bold{Simplify \ -4\cdot \:5x^4x^2+4\cdot \:3x^2x^2-4x^2x+4\cdot \:2x^2: \ -20x^6+12x^4-4x^3+8x^2}$

$\bold{-20x^6+12x^4-4x^3+8x^2}$

$\boxed{\bold{Eclipsed}}$

A quality-control inspector is testing a batch of printed circuit boards to see wheater they are capable of performing in a high

avanturin [10]

Answer:

see explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the null hypothesis is that the PCB survives against the alternate that the PCB 'does not survive'. The test says that the PCB will survice if it is classified as 'good'; or, it will not survive if it is classifies as 'bad'.

a. The Type II error is the error committed when a PCB which cannot actually survive is classified as 'good'.

b. Therefore P(Type II error) = P(The PCB is classified as 'good' | PCB does not survives) = 0.03.
