Answer:

c=9

d=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been asked:

What value of c makes x2 + 6x + c a perfect square trinomial?

c =

If x2 + 6x + c = (x + d)2, then d =

First step we have to do is divide the coefficient of x by 2. The coefficient is 6

6/2 = 3

Now take the square of 3 = 3^2

3^2 = 3*3 =9

The value of c is 9

If x^2 + 6x + c = (x + d)^2, then d =?

Put the value of c in the equation:

x^2+6x+9

Take the square root of 1st and third term. Then the expression can be written as:

x^2+6x+9 = (x+3)^2

Thus the value of d is 3.

If x^2 + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)^2, then d = 3 .....

Janice earns a 4 percent commission for the medical equipment that she sells. If she earned $1,823.94 in commission on the digit

igomit [66]

Let x is the cost of the machine

4% = 0.04

x * 0.04 = $1,823.94
x = $1,823.94 / 0.04
x = $45,598.50

answer: x-ray machine costs $45,598.50

The College Board originally scaled SAT scores so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with

likoan [24]

Answer:

Percentage of students who scored greater than 700 = 97.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the College Board originally scaled SAT scores so that the scores for each section were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100.

Let X = percentage of students who scored greater than 700.

Since, X ~ N( $\mu, \sigma^{2}$ )

The z probability is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1) where, $\mu$ = 500 and $\sigma$ = 100

So, P(percentage of students who scored greater than 700) = P(X > 700)

P(X > 700) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{700-500}{100}$ ) = P(Z < 2) = 0.97725 or 97.72% Therefore, percentage of students who scored greater than 700 is 97.72%.
