Is he square root of -144 rational or irrational?

Mathematics
1 answer:
gladu [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Neither.

It is a complex number. The - sign is the culprit. sqrt(-144) = i * sqrt(144) = 12 i

The "i" is an imaginary representation for the square root of -1. It is a definition for sqrt(-1). So a new category of number has been created. The ancients would have been profoundly surprised to learn that such a thing existed.

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.
muminat

Answer:

x=48

Step-by-step explanation:

The other angle is 66° because it's an isosceles triangle

so

180=66+66+x

180=132+x

x=48

According to government data, 20% of employed women have never been married. If 10 employed women are selected at random, what i
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a) P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

b) P(X\leq 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) +P(X=2)

P(X=0) = (10C0) (0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{10-0}= 0.107

P(X=1) = (10C1) (0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{10-1}= 0.268

P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

And replacing we got:

P(X\leq 2) = 0.107+0.268+0.302=0.678

c) For this case we want this probability:

P(X\geq 8) = P(X=8) + P(X=9) +P(X=10)

But for this case the probability of success is p =1-0.2= 0.8

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(X=8) = (10C8) (0.8)^8 (1-0.8)^{10-8} =0.302

P(X=9) = (10C9) (0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{10-9} =0.268

P(X=10) = (10C10) (0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10} =0.107

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 8) = 0.677

And replacing we got:

P(X\geq 8)=0.0000779

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:  

X \sim Bin (n=10 ,p=0.2)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable "number of women that have never been married" , on this case we now that the distribution of the random variable is:  

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.2)  

Part a

We want to find this probability:

P(X=2)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X\leq 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) +P(X=2)

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(X=0) = (10C0) (0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{10-0}= 0.107

P(X=1) = (10C1) (0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{10-1}= 0.268

P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

And replacing we got:

P(X\leq 2) = 0.107+0.268+0.302=0.678

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X\geq 8) = P(X=8) + P(X=9) +P(X=10)

But for this case the probability of success is p =1-0.2= 0.8

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(X=8) = (10C8) (0.8)^8 (1-0.8)^{10-8} =0.302

P(X=9) = (10C9) (0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{10-9} =0.268

P(X=10) = (10C10) (0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10} =0.107

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 8) = 0.677

How do I write this expression:The quantity seven plus Z, squared
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

  (7+Z)²

Step-by-step explanation:

A less ambiguous way to describe the quantity might be "the square of the quantity seven plus Z".

As it is, we rely on the presence of the comma to tell us that the quantity to be squared is (7+Z). If the comma were not present, we would assume you want to add 7 to the square of Z: 7+Z².

  the quantity 7 plus Z: (7+Z)

  that quantity squared: (7+Z)²
