Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A perfect square means that this equation is the product of two identical binomials (this is a quadratic due to the x^2, so it is made up of two binomials) so for example (x+2)(x+2) would be x^2+4x+4 which is a perfect square as you can square root x^2+4x+4 and (x+2) and not some other crazy thing.

So, we have most of the final quadratic but we need the one constant number on the end. How are we going to find it?

If you are familiar with quadratics, you probably know that adding the two numbers in the binomials gives you b and multiplying them gives you c with a quadratic ax^2+bx+c because of the foil method (if you don't know what that it is, just comment on the answer and I can explain it to you). Basically what that tells us is that our binomial numbers are going to add up to be eight (and we also know that they must be the same number as we want a perfect square). We know that 4+4 is equal to eight, so that means that our binomial pair will look like this:

(x+4)(x+4)

And we also know that multiplying them gives you c, so 4×4=16 and there is our c. We just throw it on at the end of the equation.

x^2+ 8x+16

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. Have a great day! :D

Allison and Amy Scott work 15 hours per week at separate jobs. Allison assists in a hospital for $5.25 per hour. Amy works in a

lord [1]

Answer:

Amy makes more money

Step-by-step explanation:

Allison:

works 15hr

makes $5.25 per hr

(5.25)15 = 78.75

Allison makes 78.75 per week.

Amy:

works 15hr

makes 3.10 per hour

(3.10)15 = 46.50

plus 38 in tips

46.50 + 38 = 84.50

PLEASE explain this, I'm so lost. 25 points! What is the area of the base of the pyramid? Enter your answer in the box. Express

stepladder [879]

To find the area of the triangle shown we have to find the length of a and the base.

a can be found using the sine function. Recall sin = (opp)/(hyp)

Here $sin 60 = \frac{a}{8} 
$
$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}= \frac{a}{8} 
$
$2a=8 \sqrt{3}$
$a=4 \sqrt{3}$

The base can be found using the sin of 30 degrees as this is a 30-60-90 right triangle.
$sin30= \frac{b}{8}$
$\ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{b}{8}$
$b=4$

The area of the triangle in the picture is given by $A=( \frac{1}{2} )bh= (\frac{1}{2})(4)( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} )= \sqrt{3}$ .

The base of the pyramid is a hexagon which can be divided into 6 triangles each of which is double the area of the one we just found. So the area of the base = 2(area of the triangle we found)(6) = $12 \sqrt{3}$

A researcher is interested in comparison of male and female students of Rutgers University in terms of how many hours they study

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The researcher is interested in comparing how many hours per week the students dedicate to studying regarding their gender.

Let 1 denote the females and 2 denote the males, the parameter of interest will be the difference between the average weekly study hours of female students and the average weekly hours of study of male students, symbolically:

μ₁ - μ₂

If the objective is to see if there is any difference between the average weekly study hours, the statistical hypotheses are:

H₀: μ₁ - μ₂ = 0

H₁: μ₁ - μ₂ ≠ 0

α: 0.02

The calculated statistic is $Z_{H_0}$ = 2.86

This Hypothesis test is two-tailed, meaning that the rejection region is divided in two tails, using the critical value approach:

$Z_{\alpha /2}= Z_{0.01}= -2.334$

$Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{1-0.01}= Z_{0.99}= 2.334$

The decision rule is:

If $Z_{H_0}$ ≤ -2.334 or if $Z_{H_0}$ ≥2.334, then you reject the null hypothesis.

If -2.334 < $Z_{H_0}$ < 2.334, then you do not reject the null hypothesis.

$Z_{H_0}$ is greater than the upper critical value, so the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

Then using a 2% significance level, the test is significant, you can conclude that the population mean weekly study hours of female students and the population mean weekly hours of study of male students are different.

I hope this helps!
