Let they be a and b

  • a+b=-20--(1)
  • ab=64

So

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (a-b)^2=(a+b)^2-4ab

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (a-b)^2=(-20)^2-4(64)=400-256=144

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail a-b=12\dots(2)

From both equations

  • 2a=-8=>a=-4
  • -4+b=-20
  • b=-16

Answer:

-4 and -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = first number

Let y = second number

Given:

  • The two numbers multiply to 64

⇒ xy = 64

Given:

  • The two numbers add to -20

⇒ x + y = -20

Rewrite  x + y = -20  to make x the subject:

⇒ x = -20 - y

Substitute into xy = 64 and solve for y:

⇒ (-20 - y)y = 64

⇒ -20y - y² = 64

⇒ y² + 20y + 64 = 0

⇒ (y + 4)(y + 16) = 0

⇒ y = -4, y = -16

As x + y = -20

If y = -4 then x = -16

If y = -16 then x = -4

Therefore, the two numbers are -4 and -16

Each container has a base of 4 1/4 yds by 1 2/3 yds. What is the area covered by all the containers?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base Dimension

Length = 4\frac{1}{4}yd

Width = 1\frac{2}{3}yd

Required

The base area of all containers

First, calculate the base area of 1 container.

This is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

Area = 4\frac{1}{4}yd * 1\frac{2}{3}yd

Express as improper fraction

Area = \frac{17}{4}yd * \frac{5}{3}yd

So, we have:

Area = \frac{17*5}{4*3}yd^2

Area = \frac{85}{12}yd^2

The number of containers is not given. So, I will use 'n' as the number of containers.

So, we have:

Total = n * Area

Total= n * \frac{85}{12}yd^2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assume n is 3 (i.e. 3 containers)

The total area is:

Total= 3 * \frac{85}{12}yd^2

Total= \frac{85}{4}yd^2

Total= 21\frac{1}{4}yd^2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which statement about the data is true
Alina [70]

Answer:

D. A value of 0.9 is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong, because the standard deviation is +/-0.15 (the measure up or down from the mean)

B is wrong, because the mean is exactly 0.5

C is wrong, because 1 standard deviation up from the mean is 0.65, and 0.7 is outside of that.
