Scilla [17]3 years ago

Answer:

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 20​% alcohol

y = 10​% alcohol

x + y = 10 (1)

0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)

From (1)

x = 10 - y

Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1

0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1

2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1

- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2

-0.10y = -0.9

y = -0.9/-0.10

y = 9 gal

substitute y = 9 into (1)

x + y = 10

x + 9 = 10

x = 10 - 9

x = 1 gal

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Which equation has roots of 3plus or minus sqare rt 2?
vichka [17]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The equation with roots 3 plus or minus square root 2 is x² - 6x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of the unknown equation are

3 ± √2, that is, (3 + √2) and (3 - √2)

The equation can then be reconstructed by writing these roots as the solutions of the quadratic equation

x = (3 + √2) or x = (3 - √2)

The equation is this

[x - (3 + √2)] × [x - (3 - √2)]

(x - 3 - √2) × (x - 3 + √2)

x(x - 3 + √2) - 3(x - 3 + √2) - √2(x - 3 + √2)

= x² - 3x + x√2 - 3x + 9 - 3√2 - x√2 + 3√2 - 2

Collecting like terms

= x² - 3x - 3x + x√2 - x√2 - 3√2 + 3√2 + 9 - 2

= x² - 6x + 7

Hope this Helps!!!

The distribution of the number of viewers for the American Idol television show follows a normal distribution with a mean of 26
hjlf

Answer:

Probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distribution of the number of viewers for the American Idol television show follows a normal distribution with a mean of 26 million with a standard deviation of 8 million.

<em>Let X = number of viewers for the American Idol television show</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=26,\sigma^{2}=8^{2})

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

          Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 26 million

            \sigma = standard deviation = 8 million

So, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is given by = P(30 < X < 37) = P(X < 37) - P(X \leq 30)

    P(X < 37) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{37-26}{8} ) = P(Z < 1.38) = 0.91621

    P(X \leq 30) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{30-26}{8} ) = P(Z \leq 0.50) = 0.69146

<em>Therefore, P(30 < X < 37) = 0.91621 - 0.69146 = 0.2248</em>

Hence, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.
