If 3 is added to twice a number the result is 17 find the number

Sergeu [11.5K]

For this, the number we are looking for is x.

use this formula... 17 - 3 = 2x

therefore, 14 is your doubled number.

14 divided by two is 7.

your mystery number is 7

The heights of a certain type of tree are approximately normally distributed with a mean height p = 5 ft and a standard

arsen [322]

Answer:

A tree with a height of 6.2 ft is 3 standard deviations above the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ $1^s^t$ statement: A tree with a height of 5.4 ft is 1 standard deviation below the mean(FALSE)

an X value is found Z standard deviations from the mean mu if:

$\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = Z$

In this case we have: $\mu=5\ ft$ $\sigma=0.4\ ft$

We have four different values of X and we must calculate the Z-score for each

For X =5.4\ ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{5.4-5}{0.4}=1$

Therefore, A tree with a height of 5.4 ft is 1 standard deviation above the mean.

⇒ $2^n^d$ statement:A tree with a height of 4.6 ft is 1 standard deviation above the mean. (FALSE)

For X =4.6 ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{4.6-5}{0.4}=-1$

Therefore, a tree with a height of 4.6 ft is 1 standard deviation below the mean .

⇒ $3^r^d$ statement:A tree with a height of 5.8 ft is 2.5 standard deviations above the mean (FALSE)

For X =5.8 ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{5.8-5}{0.4}=2$

Therefore, a tree with a height of 5.8 ft is 2 standard deviation above the mean.

⇒ $4^t^h$ statement:A tree with a height of 6.2 ft is 3 standard deviations above the mean. (TRUE)

For X =6.2\ ft

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\Z=\frac{6.2-5}{0.4}=3$

Therefore, a tree with a height of 6.2 ft is 3 standard deviations above the mean.

The measures of two supplementary angles are (4x + 8) and (6x + 3)º.

Illusion [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angle is an angle that is 180 degrees. We are given two angles that add up to 180, but we need to solve for x first.

The first step is to solve both angles. We know that both angles added together are supplementary, so they are equal to 180.

4x + 8 = unknown angle

6x + 3 = unknown angle

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

Because we know a supplementary angle is 180 degrees, we can solve for x to find both angles.

Solve for x.

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

10x + 11 = 180

10x = 169

x = 16.9

Now, we know the value of x, so we plug in x for both angles to determine which angle is smaller.

4x + 8

4(16.9) + 8

67.6 + 8 = 75.6 degrees

and the other angle

6x + 3

6(16.9) + 3

101.4 + 3 = 104.4 degrees

Now we know that the smaller angle is 75.6 degrees.

Also, to make sure the math is correct, when plugging in both numbers after finding x, they should add to 180.

75.6 + 104.4 = 180 so we know they are supplementary for sure.

Good luck!

Between x=2 and x=3, which function has a greater average rate of change than f(x)=2^x has?

maxonik [38]

Answer: f(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the formula for the rate of change by taking the derivative of 2^x. Let f(x) equal some hypothetical y-value, then take the natural log of both sides.

$y=2^x\\\ln(y)=x \ln(2)$

Implicitly differentiate the left side and take the derivative of the right side

$\frac{y'}{y} =\ln(2)$

Multiply both sides by 'y' which was defined as 2^x

$y'=\ln(2)*2^x$

Plug in x = 2 and x = 3 to see which slope is larger

$y'=\ln(2)*2^2=4\ln(2)\\y'=\ln(2)*2^3=8\ln(2)$
