Answer:

x = - 5, x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require to find the values of x

Calculate the distance PQ using the distance formula and equate to 20

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-x_{1})^2    }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P (15, x ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (x, - 5 )

PQ = \sqrt{(-5-x)^2+(x-15)^2} = 20 ( square both sides )

(- 5 - x)² + (x - 15)² = 20² ← expand factors on left side using FOIL

25 + 10x + x² + x² - 30x + 225 = 400

2x² - 20x + 250 = 400 ( subtract 400 from both sides )

2x² - 20x - 150 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² - 10x - 75 = 0

consider the factors of the constant term (- 75) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

the factors are - 15 and + 5 , since

- 15 × 5 = - 75 and - 15 + 5 = - 10 , then

(x - 15)(x + 5) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15

(28 POINTS)
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(a) -\sqrt{10}y

(b) -\sqrt{3}y

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) \sqrt{10y^{2}} can also be written as \sqrt{10} x \sqrt{y^{2}}

the \sqrt{y^{2}} = ± y

Therefore :

\sqrt{10y^{2}} = ±\sqrt{10}y

since it was given that y < 0 , then the factor will be -\sqrt{10}y

(b) \sqrt{3y^{2}} can also be written as : \sqrt{3} x \sqrt{y^{2}}

Therefore , one of the factor is -\sqrt{3}y

From a random sample of 41 teens, it is found that on average they spend 43.1 hours each week online with a population standard
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of time that teens spend online each week.

Number of sample, n = 41

Mean, u = 43.1 hours

Standard deviation, s = 5.91 hours

For a confidence level of 90%, the corresponding z value is 1.645. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean +/- z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

43.1 ± 1.645 × 5.91/√41

= 43.1 ± 1.645 × 0.923

= 43.1 ± 1.52

The lower end of the confidence interval is 43.1 - 1.52 =41.58

The upper end of the confidence interval is 43.1 + 1.52 =44.62

Therefore, with 90% confidence interval, the mean amount of time that teens spend online each week is between 41.58 and 44.62
