Answer: The solution to the problem is based on the solutions

from the subproblems.

x = {8.464101615, 1.535898385}

Step-by-step explanation:  

x^2-10x+13=0

Simplifying

x2 + -10x + 13 = 0

Reorder the terms:

13 + -10x + x2 = 0

Solving

13 + -10x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.

13 + -10x + -13 + x2 = 0 + -13

Reorder the terms:

13 + -13 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0

0 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -13

-10x + x2 = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13

-10x + x2 = -13

The x term is -10x.  Take half its coefficient (-5).

Square it (25) and add it to both sides.

Add '25' to each side of the equation.

-10x + 25 + x2 = -13 + 25

Reorder the terms:

25 + -10x + x2 = -13 + 25

Combine like terms: -13 + 25 = 12

25 + -10x + x2 = 12

Factor a perfect square on the left side:

(x + -5)(x + -5) = 12

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.464101615

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting  

(x + -5) equal to 3.464101615 and -3.464101615.

Find the total surface area of the prism.<br><br> 13 in.<br> 9 in.<br> 15 in.<br><br> Need asap
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The surface area of a rectangular prism with length of

15, a width of 9 and a height of 13 is:

894.0000 square units.

not sure

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, use this rectangular prism surface area

formula:

Surface Area =

[(Length x Width) + (Length x Height) + (Width x Height)] x 2

Example: The surface area of a rectangular prism with length of

3 inches, width of 4 inches, and height of 5 inches:

Surface Area = [(3 x 4) + (3 x 5) + (4 x 5)] x 2

Calculated out this gives a surface area of 94 Square Inches.

(3 points) Blades of grass Suppose that the heights of blades of grass are Normally distributed and independent, with each heigh
NemiM [27]

The final answer is:

a) P( Y < 42.5 )  = 0.8541

b) P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = 0.1670.

What is the normal distribution?

A continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable in statistics is known as a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution.

If x follows a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ then the distribution of

\sum_{i =1}^{n}x_{i}  follows an approximately normal distribution with a mean n\mu and standard deviation \sqrt{n }\sigma

let x be the height of blades of grass

x follows normal distribution with mean = μ = 4 and standard deviation = σ = 0.75.

Y = x1 + x2 +...........+x10

Y = \sum_{i =1}^{10}x_{i}

Distribution of Y is normal with,

Mean = \mu _{y}=10*4 = 40 and standard deviation = \sigma _{y}=\sqrt{10}*0.75 = 2.3717

a)

P( Y < 42.5 )

Using normal distribution formmula,

f(x)= {\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}}e^{- {\frac {1}{2}} (\frac {x-\mu}{\sigma})^2}

=NORMDIST( x, mean, SD , 1 )      

=NORMDIST(42.5, 40, 2.3717, 1 )

=0.8541

P( Y < 42.5 )  = 0.8541

b)

P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = P( Y < 40.5 ) - P( Y < 39.5 )

Using normal distribution formmula,

f(x)= {\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}}e^{- {\frac {1}{2}} (\frac {x-\mu}{\sigma})^2}

P( Y < 40.5 )  =NORMDIST(40.5, 40, 2.3717, 1 ) = 0.5835

P( Y < 39.5 ) = NORMDIST(39.5, 40, 2.3717, 1 ) = 0.4165

P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = 0.5835 - 0.4165  = 0.1670

P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = 0.1670

Hence, the final answer is:

a) P( Y < 42.5 )  = 0.8541

b) P( 39.5 < Y < 40.5 ) = 0.1670.

Which point is not on the graph of the equation y=10+x
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Check all points:

A: x=0, y=10, then from the equality 10=10+0 follows that A lies on the line.

B: x=3, y=13, then from the equality 13=10+3 follows that B lies on the line.

C: x=8, y=2, then from the inequality 2=10+8 follows that C doesn't lie on the line.

D: x=5, y=15, then from the equality 15=10+5 follows that D lies on the line.
