Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sides.

In an isosceles the legs are equal (2x - 6) and the base is x

Perimeter = (x) + (2x - 6) + (2x - 6)

38 = 5x - 12

38 + 12 = 5x

50 = 5x

$\frac{50}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}$

10 = x

How can you rewrite the expression (8-5i)^2 in the form of a +bi

olchik [2.2K]

$\bf \textit{recall that }i^2=-1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(8-5i)^2\implies (8-5i)(8-5i)\implies 64-40i-40i+(5i)^2
\\\\\\
64-80i+(5^2i^2)\implies 64-80i+(25\cdot -1)\implies 64-80i+(-25)
\\\\\\
64-80i-25\implies 39-80i$

The mayor of a town believes that over 47G% of the residents favor construction of an adjoining community. Is there sufficient e

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level

Null hypothesis ; H0 : p = 0.47

Alternative hypothesis : H1 : p ≠ 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage favoring construction of adjoining community = 47%

level = 0.05

To determine if the 0.05 confidence level is enough to support the major's claim we have to state the Null and alternative hypothesis

Null hypothesis ; H0 : p = 0.47

Alternative hypothesis : H1 : p ≠ 0.47
