Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation

3x^2 + x = - 2x - 7  

Solution

Add 2x + 7 to both sides

3x^2 +x + 2x + 7 = -2x - 7 + 2x + 7           Combine like terms

3x^2  + 3x + 7 = 0

Givens

a = 3b = 3 c = 7

x = (-b +/(√b^2 - 4ac))/2

x = (-3 +/- (√3^2 - 4(3 *7)) / 2*3

x = (- 3 +/- (9 - 84)) / 2 *3

x = (- 3 +/- √ (-75))/6

x = (- 3 +/-  8.660i ) / 6

x = -.5 +/-1.443i

Answer

x = -.5 + 1.443.i

x = -.5 - 1.443i

Answer:

  3.97%

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the annual interest rate, compounded daily, that will result in $43,000 growing to $75,000 in 14 years.

Formula

The formula for the account value is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where P is the principal invested at annual rate r compounded n times per year for t years.

Application

Filling in the given values, we can solve for r.

  75000 = 43000(1 +r/365)^(365·14)

  75/43 = (1 +r/365)^5110 . . . . . divide by 43000 and reduce the fraction

Taking the 1/5110 power gives ...

  (75/43)^(1/5110) = 1 +r/365 ≈ 1.00010886855

  r/365 = 0.0010886855 . . . . subtract 1

  r = 0.001086855·365 . . . . . multiply by 365

  r ≈ 0.039737 = 3.9737%

The required interest rate is about 3.97%.

suppose that you were trying to predict house price based on square footage, distance from the beach, and lot size for miami, florida. run a multiple regression predicting price based on square footage, and lot size. assume you are trying to determine if the slope of lot size is different than 0, and you find a p value 0.5677. what conclusion can you make?

Answers

The slope for lot size is not different from 0.

We will let the slope of the size be β

So the hypothesis can be:  β = 0  (Null Hypothesis)  ,  β≠ 0 (Alternate Hypothesis)

If we consider a confidence level (the probability for which we can be confident that the null hypothesis is true) to be 95% (Probability = 0.95) then the level for which we are not confident that the null hypothesis is true will be (100 - 95)% = 5% (Probability = 0.05)

Thus, for this coefficient the P value is 0.5782.

As the p-value is more than the Probability for which we are not confident (0.05), so in this regard we can state then there is no such significance difference seen in this regard. Thus, we accept the null hypothesis here. This means that we can take the coefficient to be 0.

Forty years ago, uncle Luke was 5 times
as old as his
nephew. Today, Uncle Luke is 16 yeas older than his nephew. How
old is uncle Luke now?

Answers

Answer: Uncle Luke is at 50 years old

Step-by-step explanation: I went through trial and error first with simple t-charts.  In the first one, I simply implemented the piece of info that Luke was 5 times older than the nephew. But then, I realized that Luke would always be 5 years older than his nephew. Here was the info for that t-chart:

[tex]\left \{ {{N=1} \atop {L=5}} \right. \left \{ {{N=2} \atop {L=6}} \right. \left \{ {{N=3} \atop {L=7}} \right.[/tex]

Next, I tried a chart starting with the nephew at 2 years of age, and got an age gap of 8. This helped me realize that I would have to start at 4 years of age in order to have an age gap of 16
[tex]\left \{ {{N=2} \atop {L=10}} \right.[/tex]        |             [tex]\left \{ {{N=4} \atop {L=20}} \right. \left \{ {{N=5} \atop {L=21}} \right.[/tex]  (remember there are 1 increments)

Next, I realized that N=4, L=20 was 40 years ago, so if now the nephew was 44, we can increment 16 to get 50

A museum charges $10 for general admission and $2 for each special exhibit you attend.

What does f(0) = 10 represent in the context of this problem?

Answers

Answer:

i d k 20???????????

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The visitor attended no special exhibits and so paid a total of $10 just to get in.

An equation to represent the cost of admission could look like this:

f(x) is the total cost.

x is the number of special exhibits attended.

f(x) = 2x + 10

If I see no special exhibits on my visit,

x = 0, then

f(0) = 2•0 + 10

The average height of a barometer during one week was 30.84 inches. for six week days of the same week the average height was 30.18 inches. what was the height on sunday?

Answers

The height of the barometer on Sunday = 34.8 inches

How is the barometer height on Sunday calculated?

Consider the barometer height for one week,

The average height of a barometer during one week = 30.84 inches

The total height of a barometer during one week = 30.84 * 7

                                                                                  = 215.88

Consider the barometer height for 6 weekdays,

The average height of a barometer for 6 weekdays of the same week= 30.18 inches

The total height of a barometer for 6 weekdays = 30.18 *6

                                                                                =181.08

The barometer height  on Sunday = One week height- 6 days height

                                                         =215.88 - 181.08

                                                         =34.8  inches

of a meter. What is a reasonable estimate of the total length of the trench?

Answers

The summation is the adding two quantities thus the reasonable estimate of the total length of the trench is 1 1/2 meters so option (C) is correct.

What is summation?

A summation, also abbreviated as a sum, is the outcome of adding two or more numbers or quantities.

There could be only two terms, but there could be one hundred, a thousand, or a million.

Here are always an integer number of terms in a summation.

As per the given,

Length of the trench on the first day = 18/20 meters

Length of the trench on the second day = 9/20

Total length of the trench = 18/20 + 9/20

Take LCM as 20

⇒ (18 + 9)/20 = 27/20

⇒ 1.35 which is closest among the given option by 1 1/2 meters.

Hence "The summation is the adding two quantities thus the reasonable estimate of the total length of the trench is 1 1/2 meters".

What is meant by congruency?

The dimensions of the triangles' sides and angles determine whether two or more triangles are congruent. A triangle's size is determined by its three sides, and its shape by its three angles. Pairs of corresponding sides and corresponding angles in two triangles are said to be equal if they are congruent. They share a similar size and shape. In triangles, there are numerous congruence conditions. For the two triangles to be congruent, they must be the same size and shape. It should be possible to superimpose the two triangles under examination. A triangle's position or appearance appears to change when we rotate, reflect, and/or translate it. In that situation, we must recognize the six components of a triangle.

Answer:

x = - 5;

y = 5;

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the equation.

y = ( 2 / 3 )x + c;

Substitute a point.

5 = ( 2 / 3 )( - 2 ) + c;

5 = ( - 4 / 3 ) + c;

5 - ( - 4 / 3 ) = c;

5 + ( 4 / 3 ) = c;

19 / 3 = c;

y = ( 2 / 3 )x + ( 19 / 3 );

Substitute point A.

3 = ( 2 / 3 )x + ( 19 / 3 );

3 - ( 19 / 3 ) = ( 2 / 3 )x;

( 9 / 3 ) - ( 19 / 3 ) = ( 2 / 3 )x;

- ( 10 / 3 ) = ( 2 / 3 )x;

- ( 10 / 3 )( 3 / 2 ) = x;

( - 30 / 6 ) = x;

- 5 = x;

x = - 5;

Substitute point B. Use common sense and notice that point B is actually the same as the first point.

y = 5;

Answer:

x =  -5

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You could write the equation in the point slope form of a line

y - [tex]y_{1}[/tex] = m( x - [tex]x_{1}[/tex])

Use the slope they gave us 2/3.  Use the point they gave us for [tex]x_{1}[/tex] ( -2 ) and [tex]y_{1}[/tex] ( 5)

y -5 = 2/3(x - -2)

y - 5 = 2/3(x + 2)  Plug in 3 for y to solve for x

3-5 = 2/3(x + 2)

-2 = 2/3x + 4/3  subtract 4/3 from both sides of the equation

-2 - 4/3 = 2/3x

[tex]\frac{-6}{3}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = 2/3x

[tex]\frac{-10}{3}[/tex] = 2/3 x  Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

([tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex])[tex]\frac{-10}{3}[/tex] = ([tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex])([tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]) x

-5 = x

substitute in -2 for x to solve for y

y - 5 = 2/3(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2/3(-2+2)

y - 5 = 2/3(0)

y - 5 = 0  Add 5 to both sides

y = 5

What is the distance between two points?

Suppose that we have two points with coordinates [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]. The shortest distance between them is given by the equation presented as follows:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

This formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, as the points form a right triangle in the xy-plane, and the hypotenuse represents the distance between them.

Their coordinates in this problem are as follows:

Ross: (-4, 11).Rachel: (8, -4).

Each unit on the plane represents a mile, hence their distance is given as follows:

the area of a right angled triangle is 96cm^2if the two shaded sides of the triangle differ by 2 what is the length of the shorter sides​

Answers

The triangle have shorter sides of 12.9 and 14.9 cm, respectively

How to determine the lengths of the shorter sides?

From the question, the given parameters are:

Triangle type = Right-angled triangleArea of triangle = 96 cm^2

Also, from the question, we have:

Two shaded sides of the triangle differ by 2

In this case, the shaded sides of the triangle are

Opposite and Adjacent

This can also be interpreted as

Base and Height

So, we have

Base - Height = 2

The area is calculated as

Area = 0.5 * Base * Height

So, we have

0.5 * Base * Height = 96

This gives

0.5 * (Height + 2) * Height = 96

Divide by 0.5

(h + 2) * h = 192

Using a graphing calculator, we have

h = 12.9

Substitute h = 12.9 in Base - Height = 2

Base - 12.9 = 2

Evaluate

Base = 14.9

Recall that the Opposite and Adjacent are the shorter sides of a right triangle

Hence, the shorter sides are 12.9 and 14.9 cm
