Answer:

$x =\frac{17}{18} +\frac{1}{18} \sqrt{3349}$ OR $x =\frac{17}{18} +\frac{-1}{18} \sqrt{3349}$

Step-by-step explanation:

9x2−17x−85=0

For this equation: a=9, b=-17, c=-85

9x2+−17x+−85=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=9, b=-17, c=-85.

$x =\frac{-b + \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$x =\frac{-(-17)+\sqrt{(-17)^{2} -4(9)(-85)} }{2(9)}$

$x =\frac{17}{18} +\frac{-1}{18} \sqrt{3349}$

OLga [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

f(x) = 7/x

~ Simply keep the "7" in the place where "x" is there.

$f(7) = \frac{7}{7}$

Therefore, X= 1.

Hope it helps....

Trevor and marissa together have 26 t-shirts to sell. If marissa has 6 fewer tshirts that trevor, find hiw many tshirts trevor h

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Number of t-shirts Trevor have are 16

If Trevor have 16 t-shirts, than Marissa will have 10 t-shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of t-shirts Trevor has = x and number of t-shirts Marissa has = y.

Since, they both have total of 26 t-shirts. We get,

$x+y=26$

Moreover, Marissa has 6 t-shirts less than that of Trevor.

So, we have,

$y=x-6$

On solving the system of equations, we get,

$x+y=26$ implies $x+x-6=26$ implies $2x=26+6$ i.e. 2x= 32 i.e. x= 16.

So, $y=x-6$ implies $y=16-6$ i.e y= 10.

Hence, the number of t-shirts Trevor and Marissa have are 16 and 10 respectively.

That is, If Trevor have 16 t-shirts, than Marissa will have 10 t-shirts.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

n=3.8416≅4

So Minimum Sample Size is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the minimum sample size, the formula we use will be:

$n= \frac{Z^2*S^2}{E^2}$

Where:

n is sample size

Z is the distribution

S is the standard deviation

E is the Margin of error

S=3 ,E=3

For Z:

Alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Alpha/2=0.025=2.5%

From Cumulative Standard Distribution Table:

Z at Alpha/2 = 1.960

$n= \frac{1.960^2*3^2}{3^2}$

n=3.8416≅4

So Minimum Sample Size is 4
