Mathematics

lana [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Portrait is in the shape of a rectangle.

And the area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Let the length of the portrait = l

And width of the portrait = w

Area of the portrait = lw

lw = 40

l = \frac{40}{w}

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + width)

Perimeter of the portrait = 2(l + w)

26 = 2(l + w)

l + w = 13 ----------(2)

By substituting the value of 'l' in equation (1) from equation (2)

\frac{40}{w}+w=13

40 + w² = 13w

w² - 13w + 40 = 0

w² - 8w - 5w + 40 = 0

w(w - 8) - 5(w - 8) = 0

(w - 5)(w - 8) = 0

w = 5, 8 feet

From equation (2)

l = 8, 5 feet

Therefore, dimensions of the portrait are (5 feet by 8 feet) Or (8 feet by 5 feet).

The mean and standard deviation of a normal distribution are 150 and 12 respectively. What percentage of values lie between:
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator with built-in statistical functions.  The function applying here is normcdf(, the "cumulative density function."  

(a) The percentage of values lying between 138 and 162 is

norm(138,162, 150, 12), which comes out to 0.683, or 68.3%.

(b)  Find norm(126, 174, 150,12):  0.945, or 94.5%

(c)  Find norm(126,162, 150,12);  0.819, or 81.9%

(d) Find norm(162, 174,150,12):  0.136, or 13.6%

Solve the equation by the Quadratic Formula. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Write your solutions from least to greate
Marat540 [252]

I hope the choices for the numerators of the solutions are given.

I am showing the complete work to find the solutions of this equation , it will help you to find an answer of your question based on this solution.

The standard form of a quadratic equation is :

ax² + bx + c = 0

And the quadratic formula is:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

So, first step is to compare the given equation with the above equation to get the value of a, b and c.

So, a = 10, b = -19 and c = 6.

Next step is to plug in these values in the above formula. Therefore,

So,

So,

Hope this helps you!
