Show all work to solve the equation for x. If a solution is extraneous, be sure to identify it. Square root of the quantity x + 6 end quantity - 4 = x.
Answer:
x = 2 is the solution of the given equation
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
Given equation
[tex]\sqrt{x+6-4} = x[/tex]
squaring on both sides , we get
[tex](\sqrt{x+2})^{2} = x^{2}[/tex]
⇒ x + 2 = x²
⇒x² - x -2 =0
Step(ii):-
Given x² - x -2 =0
⇒ x² - 2x + x - 2 =0
⇒ x ( x-2) + 1(x - 2) =0
⇒ (x + 1) ( x-2) =0
⇒ x = -1 and x =2
x = 2 is the solution of the given equation
Verification:-
[tex]\sqrt{x+6-4} = x[/tex]
Put x= 2
[tex]\sqrt{2+6-4} = 2[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{4} = 2[/tex]

The arrival of customers at a service desk follows a Poisson distribution. If they arrive at a rate of two every five minutes, what is the probability that no customers arrive in a five-minute period?
Answer:
13.53% probability that no customers arrive in a five-minute period
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.
They arrive at a rate of two every five minutes
This means that [tex]\mu = 2[/tex]
What is the probability that no customers arrive in a five-minute period?
This is P(X = 0).
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353[/tex]
13.53% probability that no customers arrive in a five-minute period

5. Si P(x)=2x+4a , Q(x)=4x-2 y P[Q(4)]=60 , Calcular el valor de a
Answer:
a = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:-
Given P(x) = 2 x+4 a
Q(x)=4 x - 2
P( Q(4)) = 60
P(4 (4) - 2) = 60
P( 14 ) = 60
2 (14) + 4 a = 60
4 a + 28 = 60
Subtracting '28' on both sides , we get
4 a +28 - 28 = 60 - 28
4 a = 32
Dividing '4' on both sides , we get
a = 8

George is given two circles 0 and circles X as shown if he wants to prove that two circles are similar what would be the correct second step in his proof
Answer: Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have two equations for the circumference, one for each circle:
C = 2*pi*r
C' = 2*pi*r'
now, if we take the quotient of those two equations, the left side must still be equal to the left side, this means that:
C/C' = 2*pi*r/(2*pi*r') = r/r'
So we have the relation:
C/C' = r/r'
And this is obtained for the division property of equality.
IF A = B, then as both numbers are equal, if we divide both sides by the same thing, then the equality must remain true.
Then the correct option is A.
Find the slope of the line: 3x-2y=6
Answer:
slope = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-2y=6
Get this equation in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-3x-2y=-3x+6
-2y = -3x+6
Divide each side by -2
-2y/-2 = -3x/-2 +6/-2
y = 3/2x -3
The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is -3
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this answer by putting it in the form y=mx+b
Step 1: Subtract 3x from each side
-2y = -3x+6
Step 2: Divide each side by -2
y = 3/2x -3
The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is -3 because m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
If the selected consumer is 70 years old, what is the probability that he/she likes crunchicles
Answer:
The probability that a selected consumer, given that is 70 years old, likes Crunchicles is 12.78%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete:
Three hundred consumers were surveyed about a new brand of snack food, Crunchicles. Their age groups and preferences are given in the table.
18–24 25–34 35–55 55 and over Total
Liked Crunchicles 4 9 3 23 39
Disliked Crunchicles 5 27 28 64 124
No Preference 7 27 10 93 137
Total 16 63 41 180 300
One consumer from the survey is selected at random. If the selected consumer is 70 years old, what is the probability that he/she likes crunchicles .
If the consumer is 70 years old is included in the category "55 and over" from this survey. There are 180 subjects in that category.
The number that likes Crunchicles and are 55 and over is 23.
If we calculate the probability as the relative frequency, we have:
[tex]P(\text{L }|\text{ 55+})=\dfrac{P(\text{L \& 55+})}{P(5\text{5+})}=\dfrac{23}{180}=0.1278[/tex]
L: Likes Crunchicles.
The probability that a selected consumer, given that is 70 years old, likes Crunchicles is 12.78%.
There are 390 students at Walker Elementary this year. This is a 30% increase from the previous year. How many students were at Walker Elementary last year?
Answer:
There were 300 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Original * 30 = increase
Add the increase to get the new number
original + increase = 308
original + original*30% = 390
Factor out original number
original ( 1+30%) = 390
Change to decimal form
original ( 1+.30) = 390
original ( 1.30) = 390
Divide by 1.3
original = 390/1.3
=300

The probability of obtaining a defective 10-year old widget is 66.6%. For our purposes, the random variable will be the number of items that must be tested before finding the first defective 10-year old widget. Thus, this procedure yields a geometric distribution. Use some form of technology like Excel or StatDisk to find the probability distribution. (Report answers accurate to 4 decimal places.) k P(X = k) 1 .666 Correct 2 3 4 5 6 or greater
Answer:
For k = 1:
=NEGBINOMDIST(0, 1, 0.666) = 0.6660
For k = 2:
=NEGBINOMDIST(1, 1, 0.666) = 0.2224
For k = 3:
=NEGBINOMDIST(2, 1, 0.666) = 0.0743
For k = 4:
=NEGBINOMDIST(3, 1, 0.666) = 0.0248
For k = 5:
=NEGBINOMDIST(4, 1, 0.666) = 0.0083
For k = 6:
=NEGBINOMDIST(5, 1, 0.666) = 0.0028
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of obtaining a defective 10-year old widget is 66.6%
p = 66.6% = 0.666
The probability of obtaining a non-defective 10-year old widget is
q = 1 - 0.666 = 0.334
The random variable will be the number of items that must be tested before finding the first defective 10-year old widget.
The geometric distribution is given by
[tex]$P(X = k) = p \times q^{k - 1}$[/tex]
Solving manually:
For k = 1:
[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{1 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{0} = 0.666[/tex]
For k = 2:
[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{2 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{1} = 0.2224[/tex]
For k = 3:
[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{3 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{2} = 0.0743[/tex]
For k = 4:
[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{4 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{3} = 0.0248[/tex]
For k = 5:
[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{5 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{4} = 0.0083[/tex]
For k = 6:
[tex]P(X = 6) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{6 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{5} = 0.0028[/tex]
Using Excel function:
NEGBINOMDIST(number_f, number_s, probability_s)
Where
number_f = k - 1 failures
number_s = no. of successes
probability_s = the probability of success
For the geometric distribution, let number_s = 1
For k = 1:
=NEGBINOMDIST(0, 1, 0.666) = 0.6660
For k = 2:
=NEGBINOMDIST(1, 1, 0.666) = 0.2224
For k = 3:
=NEGBINOMDIST(2, 1, 0.666) = 0.0743
For k = 4:
=NEGBINOMDIST(3, 1, 0.666) = 0.0248
For k = 5:
=NEGBINOMDIST(4, 1, 0.666) = 0.0083
For k = 6:
=NEGBINOMDIST(5, 1, 0.666) = 0.0028
As you can notice solving manually and using Excel yields the same results.

For this case we select a sample size of n = 5 and the distirbution for the sample mean would be:
[tex] \bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]
And replacing:
[tex] \mu_{\bar X}= 5[/tex]
And the deviation:
[tex] \sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.283}{\sqrt{5}}= 0.126[/tex]

A lot of 1000 components contains 350 that are defective. Two components are drawn at random and tested. Let A be the event that the first component drawn is defective, and let B be the event that the second component drawn is defective.
a. Find P(A).b. Find P(B|A) .c. Find P(A ∩ B).d. Find P(Ac ∩ B).e. Find P(B) .f. Find P(A|B).g. Are Aand B independent? Is it reasonable to treat A and B as though they were independent? Explain.
The probabilities are:
a. P(A) = 0.35
b. P(B|A) ≈ 0.349
c. P(A ∩ B) ≈ 0.122
d. P(A^c ∩ B) ≈ 0.228
e. P(B) = 0.35
f. P(A|B) = 0.349
g. A and B are independent.
Yes, it is reasonable to treat A and B as though they were independent because P(A) * P(B) = P(A ∩ B).
We have,
Given:
Total number of components (n) = 1000
Number of defective components (d) = 350
a.
P(A) is the probability that the first component drawn is defective:
P(A) = d/n = 350/1000 = 0.35
b.
P(B|A) is the probability that the second component drawn is defective given that the first component drawn is defective:
Since one defective component has already been drawn, the total number of components is now 999, and the number of defective components remaining is 349.
P(B|A) = Number of defective components remaining / Total number of components remaining = 349/999 ≈ 0.349
c.
P(A ∩ B) is the probability that both the first and second components drawn are defective:
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B|A) = 0.35 * 0.349 ≈ 0.122
d.
P([tex]A^c[/tex] ∩ B) is the probability that the first component drawn is not defective (complement of A) and the second component drawn is defective:
[tex]P(A^c)[/tex] is the probability that the first component drawn is not defective:
[tex]P(A^c)[/tex] = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65
Since the first component drawn is not defective, the total number of components remaining is now 999, and the number of defective components remaining is still 350.
P([tex]A^c[/tex] ∩ B) = P([tex]A^c[/tex]) * P(B) = 0.65 * (350/999) ≈ 0.228
e.
P(B) is the probability that the second component drawn is defective:
P(B) = Number of defective components / Total number of components
= 350/1000
= 0.35
f.
P(A|B) is the probability that the first component drawn is defective given that the second component drawn is defective:
P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
= (0.35 * 0.349) / 0.35
= 0.349
g.
To determine if A and B are independent, we need to compare
P(A) * P(B) with P(A ∩ B).
P(A) * P(B) = 0.35 * 0.35 = 0.1225
P(A ∩ B) = 0.122
Since P(A) * P(B) = P(A ∩ B), A and B are independent events.
It is reasonable to treat A and B as independent because the probability of A and the probability of B are not affected by each other.
The occurrence or non-occurrence of A does not impact the probability of B.
Thus,
The probabilities are:
a. P(A) = 0.35
b. P(B|A) ≈ 0.349
c. P(A ∩ B) ≈ 0.122
d. P(A^c ∩ B) ≈ 0.228
e. P(B) = 0.35
f. P(A|B) = 0.349
g. A and B are independent.
Yes, it is reasonable to treat A and B as though they were independent because P(A) * P(B) = P(A ∩ B).

Find the slope of the line on the graph.
Write your answer as a fraction or a whole
number, not a mixed number or decimal.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
divide vertical drop by horizontal drop
or vertical increase by horizontal increase
for example, in the graph when y increases by 1 x increases by 1
1/1=1 and thus the gradient is 1
the whole equation is y=x+3
Answer:
The slope = 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we count squares down for the top arrow then left to the point where the line cuts the horizontal axis we get 10 and 10.
So the slope = 10/10 = 1.
what’s the sum of x+x^2+2 and x^2-2-x ?
Answer: The correct answer is: " 2x² " .
________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
________________________________
We are asked: "What is the sum of: "x + x² + 2" and "x² − 2 − x" ?
Since we are to find the "sum" ;
→ We are to "add" these 2 (two) expressions together:
→ (x + x² + 2) + (x² − 2 − x) ;
Note: Let us rewrite the above, by adding the number "1" as a coefficient to: the values "x" ; and "x² " ; since there is an "implied coefficient of "1" ;
→ {since: "any value" ; multiplied by "1"; results in that exact same value.}.
→ (1x + 1x² + 2) + (1x² − 2 − 1x) ;
Rewrite as:
→ 1x + 1x² + 2) + (1x² − 2 − 1x) ;
Now, let us add the "coefficient" , "1" ; just before the expression:
"(1x² − 2 − 1x)" ;
{since "any value", multiplied by "1" , equals that same value.}.
And rewrite the expression; as follows:
→ (1x + 1x² + 2) + 1(1x² − 2 − 1x) ;
Now, let us consider the following part of the expression:
→ " +1(1x² − 2 − 1x) " ;
________________________________
Note the distributive property of multiplication:
→ " a(b+c) = ab + ac " ;
and likewise:
→ " a(b+c+d) = ab + ac + ad " .
________________________________
So; we have:
→ " +1(1x² − 2 − 1x) " ;
= (+1 * 1x²) + (+1 *-2) + (+1*-1x) ;
= + 1x² + (-2) + (-1x) ;
= +1x² − 2 − 1x ;
↔ ( + 1x² − 1x − 2)
Now, bring down the "left-hand side of the expression:
1x + 1x² + 2 ;
and add the rest of the expression:
→ 1x + 1x² + 2 + 1x² − 1x − 2 ;
________________________________
Now, simplify by combining the "like terms" ; as follows:
+1x² + 1x² = 2x² ;
+1x − 1x = 0 ;
+ 2 − 2 = 0 ;

The answer is: " 2x² " .

Given: A grocery store has a discount of 13% off hand soap. At the same time the hand soap manufacturer has a coupon for $2.00 off.
To find: how much more would be paid if the coupon is applied first
Solution:
Let $ x denotes cost of hand soap
Case 1:
If the discount is given first,
cost of hand soap = [tex]x-\frac{13}{100} x=\$ \frac{87}{100}x[/tex]
If the coupon for $2.00 off is applied,
Final cost of the hand soap = [tex]\$\,(\frac{87}{100}x-2)[/tex]
Case 2:
If the coupon for $2.00 off is applied first,
cost of hand soap = [tex]\$(x-2)[/tex]
If the discount is given then,
final cost of the hand soap = [tex](x-2)-\frac{13}{100}(x-2)=\frac{87}{100}(x-2)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{87}{100}x-\frac{87}{50}[/tex]
Here,
[tex]\frac{87}{100}x-\frac{87}{50}-\frac{87}{100}x+2=\frac{13}{50}=\$0.26[/tex]
So, [tex]\$0.26[/tex] has to be paid more if the coupon is applied first.

A washer and a dryer cost $639 combined. The washer costs $61 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
Answer:
$350
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d = price of dryer
Then d - 61 is the price of the washer.
The sum of the prices is $639.
d + d - 61 = 639
2d - 61 = 639
2d = 700
d = 350
The price of the dryer is $350
Assuming that $3u + 12v\neq0$, simplify $\dfrac{12u^3 + 48u^2v}{3u+12v}$.
Answer:
4u²
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\dfrac{12u^3 + 48u^2v}{3u+12v}=\dfrac{12u^2(u+4v)}{3(u+4v)}=\boxed{4u^2}[/tex]
Common factors cancel from numerator and denominator. The one factor that might make the expression undefined is given as non-zero, so no additional restrictions apply.

PLEASE HELLLLP!!!! If x+y−z=8 and x−y+z=12, then x=
Answer:
(C) 10
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y−z=8
Subtract y from both sides
x-z= -y+8
Add z to both sides
x= -y+z+8
Subtract 8 from both sides
x-8= -y+z
x−y+z=12
Add y to both sides
x+z=12+y
Subtract z from both sides
x=y-z+12
Subtract 12 from both sides
x-12=y-z
Multiply both sides by -1
-x+12= -y+z
Combine equations:
x-8= -x+12
Add x to both sides
2x-8+12
Add 8 to both sides
2x=20
Divide both sides by 2
x=10
The answer is (C) 10.
A store, on average, has 500 customers per day.
a) what can be said about the probability that it will have at least 700 customers on a given day?
from now on, suppose in addition that the variance of the numbers of customers per day is 100.
b) what can be said about the probability that it will have at least 700 customers on a given day?
c) what can be said about the probability that there will be more than 475 and less than 525 customers on a given day?
Answer:
a) We can not estimate the probability.
b) Zero probability.
c) There is a probability between 95% and 99% that they have between 475 and 525 customers on a given day.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We can not said nothing because we only know the average of customers per day. We need to know the probability distribution of the amount of customers per day to answer this question.
b) Now that we know that the variance is 100, although we do not know the exact distribution of the values, we can use the empirical rules to estimate the probability of having at least 700 customers on a given day.
If the variance is 100, the standard deviation is √100=10.
Applying the empirical rule (68-95-99.7 rule), we know that there is probability 0.15% of having at least 500+3*10=530 customers per day (more than 3 deviations from the mean).
Then, we can conclude that the probability of having at least 700 customers per day is zero.
c) To estimate this probability, we have to calculate how many deviations from the mean this values represent:
[tex]\Delta_1=475-500=-25=2.5\sigma\\\\\Delta_2=525-500=25=2.5\sigma[/tex]
We have an interval that have a width of ±2.5 deviations from the mean.
For 2 deviations from the mean, it is expected to have 95% of the data.
For 3 deviations from the mean, it is expected to have 99.7% of the data.
Then, for the interval 475 to 525, we can estimate a probability between 95% and 99%.
Suppose that y = 5 x plus 4 and it is required that y be within 0.005 units of 8. For what values of x will this be true?
Answer:
so we have an inequality for y -
7.995<y<8.005
Then now we need in inequality for x
(y-4)/5 = x
so that means that so if we have (7.995-4)/5 we get 3.995/5 = 7.99
so we have our first 7.99<x<b
Now we solve for b
So that means that 5.005/5 = 1.001
since we are changing it we switch our signs
from 7.99<x<1.001
we do 7.99>x>1.001
therefore
1.001<x<7.99
Answer:
0.795 [tex]\leq[/tex] y [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.805
Step-by-step explanation:
8 = 5x + 4
5x = 4
x = 4/5 or 0.800
therefore 0.800 + .005 and 0.800 - .005 =
0.795 [tex]\leq[/tex] y [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.805

cos X(tanX+cotX) =cscX
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
cos X(tanX+cotX) =cscX
cos X(sinx/cosx +cosx/sinx) =cscx
cos X (sin²+cos²/cossin)=cscx
cosx(1/cossin)=cscx
cross out cosines
1/sinx=cscx
Suppose 90 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the​ balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normal​ curve, with mean 88 g and standard deviation 1 g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g.The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is:________
Answer:
The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is 61
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 88g
Standard deviation = 1g
Percentage of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g
87 = 88-1
So 87 is one standard deviation below the mean.
89 = 88+1
So 89 is one standard deviation above the mean.
By the Empirical Rule, 68% of students are reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g.
Out of 90 students:
0.68*90 = 61.2
Rounding to the nearest whole number:
The number of students reporting readings between 87 g and 89 g is 61
