The square of a number decreased by twice the number is equal to 28 more than the number. Find all possible values for the number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  -4 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. Then the problem statement tells us ...

  x^2 -2x = 28+x

  x^2 -3x = 28 . . . . . subtract x

  x^2 -3x +2.25 = 30.25 . . . . add the square of half the x coefficient

  (x -1.5)^2 = 30.25 . . . . . . . . write the left side as a square

  x -1.5 = ±5.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  x = 1.5 ±5.5 = {-4, 7} . . . . . . . add 1.5

The number may be either -4 or 7.

Answers

Answer:

4x+ 1 = 24 + 1 = 25 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, perimeter = 62 m. Perimeter : 2 (L+W) = 62 m. hence, L+W = 31 m. x = 30/5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let width be x

length = 2x + 4

2(x + 2x + 4) = 62

6x + 8 = 62

6x = 54

Answers

Answer:

62%

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of those infected who are caucasian is is the number of caucasians infected divided by the total number of infected.

The percentage is the proportion multiplied by 100.

We have that:

641,628 caucasians

1,034,884 people infected

641,628/1,034,884 = 0.62

0.62*100 = 62%

Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.

The midpoints are the same point, so the diagonals _____

have the same slope.


are perpendicular to each other.

Answers

Answer:

  bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoints are the same point, so the diagonals bisect each other.

__

More elaboration on a proof

The alternate interior angles formed by diagonals and the sides of the triangle are congruent, so the (point-to-point) triangles formed by the crossing diagonals are congruent ASA. Since the sides of those triangles are congruent, the diagonals meet at their midpoints. That is, the diagonals bisect each other.

You can simplify 2log base2 (x) by moving the 2 inside the logarithm.

Log base 2 (6-x) = log2 (x^2)

For the equation to be equal the argument of the logarithm on both sides of the equation must also be equal.

A celebrity called Wayne East has been having some money problems recently. He is thinking of investing in the greatest record in the world, and wants to know how the value will change over time. He has an exponential regression model where his predictor is time in months, and response variable is money, measured in thousands of dollars. The alpha value is 4.2, and beta is 1.03. Based on this model, how much money (in thousands) will he have after six months

Answers

Answer:

Wayne west would have $5,015 in six months

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for exponential regression model is y = αβˣ

Where y is amount of money in 1000 dollars

           x is time in months

We are given that α = 4.2 and  β = 1.03 and x = 6 months

Therefore, based on this model, y = αβˣ, the amount he would have in 6 months, y = [tex]4.2*(1.03) ^{6}[/tex]

y = 5.015 × 1000 = $ 5,015

At the Midlothian Independent Bank, a study shows that the mean ATM transaction takes 74 seconds, the median 63 seconds, and the mode 51 seconds. (a) Check the appropriate choice of distribution based on the statistics given. The distribution should be skewed to the left because the mean is greater than the median. The distribution should be skewed to the right because the standard deviation is greater than the mean. The distribution should be skewed to the right because the mean is greater than the median. The distribution should be skewed to the left because the variance is greater than the mean. (b) Select the factor that might cause the distribution to be like this. Most ATM transactions will tend to be high in duration, but a few will be of longer duration. Most ATM transactions will tend to be low in duration, but a few will be of lower duration.

Answers

Answer:

a) The distribution should be skewed to the right because the mean is greater than the median.

b) Most ATM transactions will tend to be low in duration, but a few will be of lower duration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean = 74

Median = 63

Mode = 51

a) We can see that the mean is greater than the median, and the median is greater than the mode. It can be written in this sequence : Mean > Median > Mode.

Therefore, the distribution should be skewed to the right because the mean is greater than the median.

b) Since the mode is less than mean, the duration of view will be longer but there wil be a low value of observation.

Therefore, the factor thay might cause the distribution to be like this is that most ATM transactions will tend to be low in duration, but a few will be of lower duration.

At an outpatient mental health clinic, appointment cancellations occur at a mean rate of 1.5 per day on a typical Wednesday. Let X be the number of cancellations on a particular Wednesday. (a) Justify the use of the Poisson model. Cancellations are not independent. Cancellations are independent and similar to arrivals. Most likely cancellations arrive independently. (b) What is the probability that no cancellations will occur on a particular Wednesday

Answers

Answer:

a) Cancellations are independent and similar to arrivals.

b) 22.31% probability that no cancellations will occur on a particular Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given time interval.

Mean rate of 1.5 per day on a typical Wednesday.

This means that [tex]\mu = 1.5[/tex]

(a) Justify the use of the Poisson model.

Each wednesday is independent of each other, and each wednesday has the same mean number of cancellations.

So the answer is:

Cancellations are independent and similar to arrivals.

(b) What is the probability that no cancellations will occur on a particular Wednesday

This is P(X = 0).

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.5}*(1.5)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.2231[/tex]

22.31% probability that no cancellations will occur on a particular Wednesday

Identify the variable as the number of minutes, x. Identify the inequality symbol as greater than. Identify the constant as negative 56 minutes. Write the inequality as x minus 56.


Identify the variable as the number of minutes, x. Identify the inequality symbol as greater than. Identify the constant as Negative 56 minutes. Write the inequality as x greater-than negative 56.


Identify the variable as the number of minutes, x. Identify the inequality symbol as greater than. Identify the constant as 56 minutes. Write the inequality as x = 56.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ebony waited for more than 56 minutes, option A summarizes the steps to write the inequality.

First, the term "more than" means greater than which is represented by the inequality symbol, >.

So, let's assume that the inequality variable is x and given that the minute she waited for is more than 56.

Writing this together will give

x > 56.

In a recent survey, 30 students reported whether they liked their potatoes Mashed, French-fried, or Twice-baked. 15 liked them mashed, 20 liked French fries, and 9 liked twice baked potatoes. Additionally, 12 students liked both mashed and fried potatoes, 5 liked French fries and twice baked potatoes, 6 liked mashed and baked, and 3 liked all three styles. How many students hate potatoes? (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

Totally 6 people hate potatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Incase the figure is not clear

here, it is

⇒ 30 = 15 + 20 + 9 - 12 - 6 - 5 + 3 + h

⇒ h = 30 - 44 - 3 + 23

⇒ h = 53 - 47

h = 6

Hence, Totally 6 people hate potatoes

Answer: 6 students hate potatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Venn diagram representing the situation is shown in the attached photo.

Set M represents the set of students that like mashed potatoes.

Set F represents the set of students that like French fried potatoes.

Set T represents the set of students that like Twice-baked potatoes.

H represents the number of students that hate potatoes.

3 liked all three styles

The number of students that like mashed and twice baked potatoes only is 6 - 3 = 3

The number of students that like mashed and French fried potatoes only is 12 - 3 = 9

The number of students that like twice baked and French fried potatoes only is 5 - 3 = 2

The number of students that like mashed potatoes only is 15 - (9 + 3 + 3) = 0

The number of students that like French fried potatoes only is 20 - (9 + 3 + 2) = 6

The number of students that like twice baked potatoes only is 9 - (3 + 3 + 2) = 1

Since the total number of students is 30, it means that

0 + 6 + 1 + 3 + 9 + 2 + 3 + H = 30

24 + H = 30

H = 30 - 24

H = 6
