Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2x-10}{4}=3x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\2x-10=12x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-10=10x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\-1=x\to x=-1$

Roger is building a storage shed with wood blocks that are in the shape of cubic prisms. Can he build a shed that is twice as hi

Fynjy0 [20]

Given that Roger is building a storage shed with wood blocks that are in the shape of cubic prisms.

cube is basicallye a box which is made of squares. That is all the sides (lenght, width and height) are equal.

Now we have to determine, Can he build a shed that is twice as high as it is wide.

that means if width is 1 then height should be twice which is 2.

yes that is possible if we put one cubical prism over another cubical prism. then height of shed due to two prism will be twice than the width.

Hence correct choice should be "A. Yes. For every block of width, he could build two blocks high."

Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to answer this question. Fifteen percent of all students at a large un

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 0.1289

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The proportion of all students at a large university are absent on Mondays. : $p=0.15$

Sample size : $n=12$

Mean : $\mu=np=12\times0.15=1.8$

Standard deviation = $\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

$\Rightarrow\ \sigma=\sqrt{12(0.15)(1-0.15)}=1.23693168769\approx1.2369$

Let x be a binomial variable.

Using the standard normal distribution table ,

$P(x=4)=P(x\leq4)-P(x\leq3)$ (1)

Z score fro normal distribution:-

$z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For x=4

$z=\dfrac{4-1.8}{1.2369}\approx1.78$

For x=3

$z=\dfrac{3-1.8}{1.2369}\approx0.97$

Then , from (1)

$P(x=4)=P(z\leq1.78)-P(z\leq0.97)\\\\=0.962462-0.8339768\approx0.1289$

Hence, the probability that four students are absent = $0.1289$

Trevor is analyzing a circle, y2 + x2 = 100, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?

lakkis [162]

Given a circle described by the equation:
$y^2+x^2=100$
and a function g(x) given by the table
$\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ |c |c |c }
 x & g(x) \\
 -1 & -22 \\
 0 & -20 \\
1 & -18 
\end{tabular}
\end{center}$

The function g(x) describes a straight line with the equation:
$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ \frac{y-(-22)}{x-(-1)} = \frac{-20-(-22)}{0-(-1)} \\ \\ \frac{y+22}{x+1} = \frac{-20+22}{0+1} = \frac{2}{1} \\ \\ y+22=2(x+1)=2x+2 \\ \\ y=2x-20$

To check if the circle and the line intersects, we substitute the equation of the line into the equation of the circle to see if we have a real solution.
i.e.
$y^2+x^2=100 \\ \\ (2x-20)^2+x^2=100 \\ \\ 4x^2-80x+400+x^2=100 \\ \\ 5x^2-80x+300=0 \\ \\ x^2-16x+60=0 \\ \\ (x-6)(x-10)=0 \\ \\ x-6=0 \ or \ x-10=0 \\ \\ x=6 \ or \ x=10$

When x = 6, y = 2(6) - 20 = 12 - 20 = -8 and when x = 10, y = 2(10) - 20 = 20 - 20 = 0

Therefore, the circle and the line intersect at the points (6, -8) and (10, 0).
