Answer:

x = {-3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 9)(x − 4) = 0

Solution 1

3x + 9 = 0

3x = -9

x = -3

Solution 2

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

x = {-3, 4}

---------------------------

if by solve you meant expand

(3x + 9)(x − 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9x - 36 = 0

3x² - 3x - 36 = 0

Answer:

x = 4

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Method 1</em></u>

<u>Quadratic Formula</u>

(3x + 9)(x - 4) = 0

3x(x - 4) + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9x - 36 = 0

3x² - 3x - 36 = 0

3(x² - x - 12) = 0

\frac{3(x^{2}  - x - 12)}{3} = \frac{0}{3}

x={\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} }

Ignore the A after the -b, wouldn't let me type it correctly. Ignore the A for the rest of the explanation as well.

x² - x - 12 = 0

a = 1

b = - 1

c = - 12

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{(-1)^{2}-4(1(-12)) } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{1-4(1(-12)) } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{1+48 } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{-(-1)±\sqrt{49 } }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{1±7  }{2(1)} }

x={\frac{1±7  }{2} }

Separate into two equations.

One with addition and the other with subtraction.

x={\frac{1+7  }{2} }

x={\frac{1-7  }{2} }

x = 4

x = - 3

<u><em>Method 2</em></u>

<u>Factors</u>

(3x + 9)(x - 4) = 0

3x(x - 4) + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9(x - 4) = 0

3x² - 12x + 9x - 36 = 0

3x² - 3x - 36 = 0

3(x² - x - 12) = 0

3(x² + 3x - 4x - 12) = 0

3(x² + 3x + (- 4x - 12)) = 0

3(x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3)) = 0

3(x - 4)(x + 3) = 0

<em>Create separate equations</em>

x - 4 = 0

x + 3 = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4 ⇒ x = 4

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3 ⇒ x = - 3

x = 4

x = - 3

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a) -1.25

b) 0.2112

c) -1.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sample size, n = 400

H0 : p = 20

\bar{p} = 175

Now,

a) The test statistic is  given as:

Z = \frac{(\bar{p}-p)}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

on substituting the respective values, we get

Z = \frac{(0.175-0.2)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.2\times0.8}{400}}}

= -1.25

b) The p-value = 2 × P(Z <-1.25)

Now from the standard normal table

P(Z <-1.25) = 10.56% = 0.1056

Thus,

p-value = 2 × 1056 = 0.2112

c) for a = 0.05,

the critical value is Z_{\frac{a}{2}}=Z_{\frac{0.05}{2}} i.e Z_{0.025}

Now from standard normal table

Z_{0.025} = -1.96

Complete each congruency statement and name the rule used. If you cannot show the triangles are congruent from the given informa
irinina [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

ΔANT ≅ ΔFLE by the SIde-Side-Side (SSS) rule of congruency

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

Segment TN is congruent ts segment EL

Segment TA is congruent ts segment EF

Segment AN is congruent ts segment FL

Therefore, triangle ΔANT is congruent to ΔFLE by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule of congruency

One of the rule used to serve as proof that two or more triangles are congruent, is the Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule of congruency. The Side-Side-Side rule of congruency states that if the dimensions of the three sides of one triangle are equal to the dimensions of the three sides of another triangle, the two triangles are congruent.

Therefore, the correct option is ΔANT ≅ ΔFLE by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule of congruency

The gray is a sidewalk and the turquoise is grass. Both are squares. What is the area of the sidewalk?
Alona [7]
Find the area of both first. The sidewalk is 12 * 12 = 144 ft^2, and grass is 10 * 10 = 100 ft^2. Subtract the area of the grass from the sidewalk, 144-100 = 44 ft^2.

As a town gets smaller, the population of its high school decreases by 6% each year, teh senior class has 250 students now. in h
NISA [10]
An equation to solve for the time when the high school will have exactly 100 students is (1-.06)^x = (250/100).  
That simplifies to 94^x = .4.  
We can then take the log of both sides to isolate the x variable from the exponent. Here's with natural log.  
x*ln(.94)=ln(.4)
 x = ln(.4)/ln(.94)  
Solving this gives x ~= 14.80. So in about 15 years, the high school will have 100 students.

in the diagram below of triangle NPQ, R is a midpoint of NP and S is a midpoint of PQ. If RS = 47 - 5x, and NQ = 5x - 11, what i
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Therefore the measure of RS is 12 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In ΔNPQ,

R is a midpoint of NP and

S is a midpoint of PQ.  

RS = 47 - 5x, and NQ = 5x - 11

To Find:

RS = ?

Solution:

Mid Point Theorem:

The line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to one half of the third side.

Here ,R is a midpoint of NP and

          S is a midpoint of PQ.  

∴ RS=\dfrac{1}{2}NQ

Substituting the values we get

47-5x=\dfrac{1}{2}(5x-11)\\\\2(47-5x)=5x-11\\\\94-10x=5x-11\\5x+10x=94+11\\15x=105\\x=\dfrac{105}{15}=7\\x=7

Now Substituting ' x ' in RS we get

RS=47-5\times 7=47-35=12\\RS=12\ unit

Therefore the measure of RS is 12 unit.
