Solve 3x2 + 18x + 15 = 0 by completing the square. 3(x + 3)2 = 6; x = −3 + square root 2, x = −3 − square root 2 3(x + 9)2 = 12;

x = −11, x = −7 3(x + 3)2 = 12; x = −5, x = −1 3(x + 9)2 = 228; x = −9 + square root 76, x = −9 − square root 76

Guy has saved a total of $95. He buys an airplane model kit for $9, and he wants to donate $8 to each of several local animal sh

Vesna [10]

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

After buying airplane model kit, he has left

95 - 9 = 86

We divide 86 by 8 and find the whole number. That would be:

86/8 = 10 remainder 6

The remainder is $6, so he is short of $2 to donate to another shelter. So he can donate to 10 shelters and have $6 remaining.

The first answer chioce is right, $6.

the Vikings play 36 games this year at midseason they had won 16 games. How many of the remaining games must they win in order t

aliina [53]

80% of their games are 28.8, or 29 games (since they need to win at least 80%). They have already won 16. 29-16 is 13.

Therefore, they need to win 13 more games.

P.S. The midseason statement is irrelevant.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.58(4.2)}{2})^2 =29.35 \approx 30$

So the answer for this case would be n=30 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$ME = 2$ the margin of error desired

$\sigma =4.2$ standard deviation from previous studies

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =2 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance level is $\alpha=0.01$ and the critical value would be $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{2.58(4.2)}{2})^2 =29.35 \approx 30$

So the answer for this case would be n=30 rounded up to the nearest integer

You usually buy a 5.45.4 ounce bottle of lotion. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 20%20% more free.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer: The required equation is,

$x = \frac{120\times 5.4}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the size of the larger bottle,

Since, the size of smaller bottle of lotion = 5.4 ounces,

According to the question,

The larger bottle gives 20% more free lotion,

The size of the larger bottle = The size of smaller bottle of lotion + 20 % of the size of smaller bottle of lotion

= 120 % of the size of smaller bottle of lotion

= 120 % of 5.4

$=\frac{120\times 5.4}{100}$

$\implies x = \frac{120\times 5.4}{100}$

Which is the required equation that could be used to find the size of the larger bottle.
