What is the intermediate step in the form (x+a)^2 = b as a result of x^2-16x= -68

Answers

Jgv(hsbhbsjsnubsjnsugxjbhsbiwnn7gbdj shvshdnsjm
Answer 2

Answer:

The intermediate step is determining what a is, knowing also that (x+a)²=x²+(2a)x+a².

Also, x²-16x= -68 (in the form (x+a)²=b) is (x-8)²=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-16x=-68

x²-16x+68=0

I suppose the intermediate step is finding (x+a)².

Remember that (x+a)²=x²+(2a)x+a², so 'a' will be half the coefficient of x (number beside x, not x²). The coefficient of x here is -16, so a is -8.

(x-8)²=x²-16x+64

So, if we can create 'x²-16x+64' out of 'x²-16x+68', we'll be on our way:

x²-16x+68=0

(x²-16x+64)+4=0

(x-8)²+4=0

(x-8)²=-4

If the probability of winning a slot machine is 5% and you are going to play 500 pulls. Using a normal approximation. What’s the probability that you win less than 40?

Answers

Answer:

0.9986 = 99.86% probability that you win less than 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

The probability of winning a slot machine is 5% and you are going to play 500 pulls.

This means that [tex]p = 0.05, n = 500[/tex]

Mean and Standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 500*0.05 = 25[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{500*0.05*0.95} = 4.8734[/tex]

What’s the probability that you win less than 40?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X < 40 - 0.5) = P(X < 39.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 39.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{39.5 - 25}{4.8734}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.98[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.98[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9986

0.9986 = 99.86% probability that you win less than 40

t = p + 50
The variable p represents the number phone calls she routes, and the variable t represents
the number of minutes she is on the phone. In all, how many phone calls does Shivani have
to route to spend a total of 93 minutes on the phone?

Answers

The only way i can think of working out this question is this:

t = time p = phone calls

insert what we know:-

93 = p + 50

make P on its own:-

take away 50 from each side

43 = p

switch (you don’t HAVE to do this) :-

p = 43

So, shivani has to route a total of 43 phone calls to spend a total of 93 minutes on the phone.

A. 320 Weeks
B. 40 Weeks
C. 8 Weeks
D. 6.25 Weeks

Answers

Answer:

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks.

Explanation:

since gordon has to set aside half of his wage to pay his bills, he can only save $12.50 ÷ 2 = $6.25 for the saxophone.

we can find how much money gordon saves from a 40-hour week by multiplying this by 40: $6.25 × 40 = $250.

now, divide the total amount of money he has to save by the amount he saves each week: $2000 ÷ $250 = 8.

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks before he can afford the saxophone.

100 = X

100 x 6.5 = X

650 = X
