Answer: 2*√18 + 3*√2 + √162 = 18*√2
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess that the equation is:
2*√18 + 3*√2 + √162
And we want to simplify it.
first 18 = 9*2
then we can write:
2*√18 = 2*√(9*2) = 2*3*√2 = 6*√2
and 162/9 = 18
then we can write:
√162 = √(9*18) = √9*√18 = 3√18
now we can use the previous step: √18 = 3*√2
and:
√162 = 3*(3*√2) = 9*√2
now we can write our equation as:
6√2 + 3√2 + 9√2 = (6 + 3 + 9)√2 = 18*√2
And now we can not simplify it further more, so here we end.

Which equation is equivalent to 3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24?15x – 15 = 15x – 2415x – 5 = 15x – 2439x – 45 = 15x – 2439x – 15 = 15x – 24?
Answer:
3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = (39x-15)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is : 3[x + 3(4x – 5)]
We need to find the equivalent expression for this given expression. We need to simplify it. Firstly, open the brackets. So,
[tex]3[x + 3(4x -5)]=3[x+12x-15][/tex]
Again open the brackets,
[tex]3[x+12x-15]=3x+36x-45[/tex]
Now adding numbers having variables together. So,
[tex]3[x + 3(4x - 5)]=39x-15[/tex]
So, the equivalent expression of 3[x + 3(4x – 5)] is (39x-15).
the product of two consecutive positive integer is 306
Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 17 \ and \ 18}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The product means multiplication.
There are two positive consecutive integers.
Let the first positive consecutive integer be x.
Let the second positive consecutive integer be x+1.
[tex](x) \times (x+1) =306[/tex]
Solve for x.
Expand brackets.
[tex]x^2 +x =306[/tex]
Subtract 306 from both sides.
[tex]x^2 +x -306=306-306[/tex]
[tex]x^2 +x -306=0[/tex]
Factor left side of the equation.
[tex](x-17)(x+18)=0[/tex]
Set factors equal to 0.
[tex]x-17=0[/tex]
[tex]x=17[/tex]
[tex]x+18=0[/tex]
[tex]x=-18[/tex]
The value of x cannot be negative.
Substitute x=17 for the second consecutive positive integer.
[tex](17)+1[/tex]
[tex]18[/tex]
The two integers are 17 and 18.
The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306.
We need to find the integers
solution : Let two consecutive numbers are x and (x + 1)
A/C to question,
product of x and (x + 1) = 306
⇒x(x + 1) = 306
⇒x² + x - 306 = 0
⇒ x² + 18x - 17x - 306 = 0
⇒x(x + 18) - 17(x + 18) = 0
⇒(x + 18)(x - 17) = 0⇒ x = 17 and -18
so x = 17 and (x +1) = 18
Therefore the numbers are 17 and 18.

The Compounds interest
onRs. 14,000 be Rs. 4, 634 at 10%
p.a?
Answer:
3 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A = P(1 + r)^t
A = I + P
A = 14,000 + 4,634 = 18,634
18,634 = 14,000(1 + 0.1)^t
18,634/14,000 = 1.1^t
log (18,634/14,000) = log 1.1^t
log (18,634/14,000) = t * log 1.1
t = [log (18,634/14000)]/(log 1.1)
t = 3

Which of the following scenarios meet the requirement?
A. The sample size is 50 and the population proportion under null hypothesis is 25%.
B. The sample size is 70 and the population proportion under null hypothesis is 90%.
C. The sample size is 50 and the population proportion under null hypothesis is 15%.
D. The sample size is 200 and the population proportion under null hypothesis is 4%.
Answer:
The sample size is 50 and population proportion under null hypothesis is 25% ( A ) meets the requirement
Step-by-step explanation:
when applying the central limit theorem on sample proportions in one sample proportion test .The conditions needed to be satisfied are np > 10, and n( 1-p ) > 10
A) sample size ( n ) = 50
population proportion = 25%
np = 50 * 0.25 = 12.5 which is > 10 ( 1st condition met )
n( 1 - p ) = 50( 1 - 0.25 ) = 37.5 which is > 10 ( second condition met )
B ) sample size (n) = 70
population proportion = 90%
np = 70*0.9 = 63 which is > 10 ( 1st condition met )
n(1-p) = 70 ( 1 - 0.9 ) = 7 which is < 10 ( second condition not met )
C) sample size ( n ) = 50
population proportion = 15% = 0.15
np = 50 * 0.15 = 7.5 which is < 10 ( 1st condition not met )
n ( 1 - p ) = 50 ( 1 - 0.15 ) = 50 * 0.85 = 42.5 which is > 10 ( second condition met )
D) sample size ( n ) = 200
population proportion = 4% = 0.04
np = 200 * 0.04 = 8 which is < 10 ( 1st condition not met )
n ( 1 - p ) = 200 ( 1 - 0.04 ) = 192 which is > 10 ( second condition met )
hence : The sample size of 50 with population proportion under null hypothesis of 25% meets the requirement
On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, 3) and (negative 2, 1). A point is at (4, 1). What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4, 1)? y − 1 = −2(x − 4) y – 1 = Negative one-half(x – 4) y – 1 = One-half(x – 4) y − 1 = 2(x − 4)
Answer:
y - 1 = -2(x - 4).
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the slope. Two sets of coordinates are (-3, 3), and (-2, 1).
(3 - 1) / (-3 - -2) = 2 / (-3 + 2) = 2 / (-1) = -2.
The line will be parallel to the given line, so the slope is the same.
Now that we have a point and the slope, we can construct an equation in point-slope form.
y1 = 1, x1 = 4, and m = -2.
y - 1 = -2(x - 4).
Hope this helps!
The slope of the line passing parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4, 1) is y = -2x + 9
The equation of a straight line is given by:
y = mx + b
where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
The slope of the line passing through the points (-3,3) and (-2,1) is:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\m=\frac{1-3}{-2-(-3)} \\\\m=-2[/tex]
Since both lines are parallel, hence they have the same slope (-2). The line passes through (4,1). The equation is:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-1=-2(x-4)\\\\y=-2x+9[/tex]

Based on a sample of 200 people, 79% owned cats.
The test statistic is:______.
The p-value is:_____.
Based on this we:_____.
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis.
B. Reject the null hypothesis.
Answer:
C. H0 : p = 0.8 H 1 : p ≠ 0.8
The test is:_____.
c. two-tailed
The test statistic is:______p ± z (base alpha by 2) [tex]\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }[/tex]
The p-value is:_____. 0.09887
Based on this we:_____.
B. Reject the null hypothesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
We formulate null and alternative hypotheses as proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 80%.
H0 : p = 0.8 H 1 : p ≠ 0.8
The alternative hypothesis H1 is that the 80% of the proportion is different and null hypothesis is , it is same.
For a two tailed test for significance level = 0.2 we have critical value ± 1.28.
We have alpha equal to 0.2 for a two tailed test . We divided alpha with 2 to get the answer for a two tailed test. When divided by two it gives 0.1 and the corresponding value is ± 1.28
The test statistic is
p ± z (base alpha by 2) [tex]\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }[/tex]
Where p = 0.8 , q = 1-p= 1-0.8= 0.2
n= 200
Putting the values
0.8 ± 1.28 [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{200} }[/tex]
0.8 ± 0.03620
0.8362, 0.7638
As the calculated value of z lies within the critical region we reject the null hypothesis.

If Company X has 1600 employees and 80% of those employees have attended the warehouse training course how many employees have yet to attend?
Answer:
320
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no of employees = 1600
% of employees attended the training = 80%
no. of employee who attended the training = 80/100* 1600 = 1280
No. of employees who are yet to attend the training = Total no of employees - no. of employee who attended the training = 1600-1280 = 320
Thus, 320 employees have yet to attend the training

How many kilometers are in 1 mile? (Hint: Use the answer from the previous problem)
1 mile is equivalent to
ao kilometers (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Answer: 1.609344 kilometers.
Step-by-step explanation:
A mile is an English Unit that is used to measure the length of a linear surface.
Even though the kilometre has replaced it to a large extent as the standard measure of length, it is still the main unit of measurement for distances in the United States, the United Kingdom, Liberia and UK and US oversees territories.
Miles are longer than kilometres as a kilometer is equivalent to only 0.621371 miles.
1 mile is therefore;
= 1/0.621371
= 1.609344 kilometers.

Given that −4i is a zero, factor the following polynomial function completely. Use the Conjugate Roots Theorem, if applicable. f(x)=x4−2x3+x2−32x−240
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ f(x)=(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5) \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, the Conjugate Roots Theorem states that if a complex number is a zero of real polynomial its conjugate is a zero too. It means that (x-4i)(x+4i) are factors of f(x).
[tex]\text{Meaning that } (x-4i)(x+4i) =x^2-(4i)^2=x^2+16 \text{ is a factor of f(x).}[/tex]
The coefficient of the leading term is 1 and the constant term is -240 = 16 * (-15), so we a re looking for a real number such that.
[tex]f(x)=x^4-2x^3+x^2-32x-240\\\\ =(x^2+16)(x^2+ax-15)\\\\ =x^4+ax^3-15x^2+16x^2+16ax-240[/tex]
We identify the coefficients for the like terms, it comes
a = -2 and 16a = -32 (which is equivalent). So, we can write in [tex]\mathbb{R}[/tex].
[tex]\\f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)[/tex]
The sum of the zeroes is 2=5-3 and their product is -15=-3*5, so we can factorise by (x-5)(x+3), which gives.
[tex]f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x^2+3x-5x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x(x+3)-5(x+3))\\\\=\boxed{(x^2+16)(x+3)(x-5)}[/tex]
And we can write in [tex]\mathbb{C}[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=\boxed{(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5)}[/tex]
Hope this helps.

In cooking class, Shivani measures a stick
of butter. It is 13 centimeters long, 3
centimeters wide, and 3 centimeters tall. What
is the volume of the stick of butter?
Answer:
117 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we can simply multiply the length, width and height so the answer is 13 * 3 * 3 = 117 cm³.
Answer:
117 cubic centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the stick of butter is a perfect rectangular prism, we can calculate the volume by simply multiplying the length, width, and the height as modeled by the volume equation:
V = LWH
For this, the L = 13cm, W = 3cm, and H = 3cm
So our volume in cubic centimeters will be:
V = LWH
V = (13cm) * (3cm) * (3cm)
V = (13cm) * (9cm^2)
V = 117 cm^3
So the volume of the stick of butter is 117 cubic centimeters.

point estimate A sample of 81 observations is taken from a normal population with a standard deviation of 5. The sample mean is 40. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population mean
Answer:
The 95 percent Confidence Interval is for the population is (38.911 , 41.089)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the above question, we would be making use of the confidence interval formula:
Confidence Interval = Mean ± z score × σ/√n
In the above question,
Mean = 40
σ = Standard deviation = 5
n = number of samples = 81
Confidence Interval = 95%
The z score for a 95% confidence interval = 1.96
Therefore, the confidence interval =
= 40 ± 1.96 (5/√81)
= 40 ± 1.96(5/9)
= 40 ± 1.0888888889
Confidence Interval
a)40 + 1.0888888889
= 41.0888888889
Approximately = 41.089
b ) 40 - 1.0888888889
= 38.911111111
Approximately = 38.911
Therefore, the 95 percent Confidence Interval is for the population is (38.911 , 41.089)
According to the Federal Communications Commission, 70% of all U.S. households have vcrs. In a random sample of 15 households, what is the probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The probability of success is p = 0.70
The sample size is [tex]n = 15[/tex]
Generally the distribution of U.S. households have vcrs follow a binomial distribution given that there are only two outcome (household having vcrs or household not having vcrs )
The probability of failure is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]q = 1- p[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]q = 1- 0.70[/tex]
[tex]q = 0.30[/tex]
The probability that fewer than 13 have vcrs is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1- [P(13) + P(14) + P(15)][/tex]
=> [tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13} *p^{13}* q^{15-13})+ (\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14} *p^{14}* q^{15-14}) +( \left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15} *p^{15}* q^{15-15}) ][/tex]
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{13}[/tex] means 15 combination 13 and the value is 105 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{14}[/tex] means 15 combination 14 and the value is 15 (obtained from calculator)
Here [tex]\left 15 } \atop {}} \right. C_{15}[/tex] means 15 combination 15 and the value is 1 (obtained from calculator)
So
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *p^{13}* q^{2})+ (15 *p^{14}* q^{1}) +(1*p^{15}* q^{0}) ][/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(x < 13) = 1-[(105 *(0.70)^{13}* (0.30)^{2})+ (15 *(0.70)^{14}* (0.30)^{1}) +(1*(0.70)^{15}* (0.30)^{0}) ][/tex]
[tex]P(x < 13) = 0.8732[/tex]

Cesium-137 has a half-life of about 30 years. A) Find the annual decay rate and round final result to 4 decimal places. B) Find the continuous decay rate and round final result to 4 decimal places. C) How long will it take for a 10 gram sample to decay to 1 gram? Round to nearest year and interpret your result with a complete sentence. D) Complete this statement: as x goes to infinity, y goes to ___.
Answer:
0.02280.0231100 years0Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential equation for the fraction remaining after x years can be written as ...
y = (1/2)^(x/30)
A) For x=1, the fraction remaining is ...
y = (1/2)^(1/30) ≈ 0.97716 = 1 - 0.0228
Of the original amount, 0.0228 decays each year.
__
B) The continuous decay rate is the natural log of the growth factor, so is ...
ln(0.97716) = -0.0231
The continuous decay rate is 0.0231 of the present amount (per year).
__
C) For y=.10 (1/10 of the original amount) we find x to be ...
.1 = .5^(x/30)
ln(.1) = (x/30)ln(.5) . . . . . take the natural log
30ln(0.1)/ln(0.5) = x ≈ 100 . . . years
It will take 100 years for a 10-gram sample to decay to 1 gram.
__
D) As x goes to infinity, y goes to zero.
_____
The relationship between growth rate and growth factor is ...
growth factor = 1 + growth rate
When the growth rate is negative, it is called a decay rate.
