Given:
Three numbers in an AP, all positive.
Sum is 21.
Sum of squares is 155.
Common difference is positive.

We do not know what x and y stand for.  Will just solve for the three numbers in the AP.
Let m=middle number, then since sum=21, m=21/3=7
Let d=common difference.
Sum of squares
(7-d)^2+7^2+(7+d)^2=155
Expand left-hand side
3*7^2-2d^2=155
d^2=(155-147)/2=4
d=+2 or -2
=+2  (common difference is positive)

Therefore the three numbers of the AP are
{7-2,7,7+2}, or
{5,7,9}

Each day that a library book is kept past its due date, a $0.30 fee is charged at midnight. Which ordered pair is a viable solut
Murrr4er [49]
Let's say the number of days library book is late is X, and the total fee is Y.

Liability charges $0.30 dollars as a fee for being 1 day late,

For being 1 day late, fee charge is: 1* $0.30
So, for X days the charge would be: X*$0.30.

Total charge for being X days late is Y, Which means: Y= 0.30 * X.

Now We would have to check all the viable solutions in the answer to see if they satisfy the equation Y= 0.30 * X

Option one(-3, -0.9) and two (-2.5, -0.75) Would not be a viable solution because the value of number of days can not be negative and in option one and two, value of days -3 and -2.5 is negative.

Option three(4.5, 1.35) can not be correct because library charges fee for a full day so the number for days would be a whole number. Library would not charge for 4.5 days, they would either charge of 4 days or 5 days because 4.5 is not an whole number.


Option four(8, 2.40) is the correct answer because it satisfies our equation;

Y= 0.30 * X

2.40= 0.30 * 8

2.40 = 2.40.


Fourth option (8, 2.40) is the only viable solution to this question.

The general form of the equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 42x + 38y − 47 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is (x
DaniilM [7]
We have the following equation:
 x2 + y2 + 42x + 38y - 47 = 0
 We rewrite the equation:
 x2 + 42x + y2 + 38y - 47 = 0
 x2 + 42x + y2 + 38y = 47
 Rewriting we have:
 x2 + 42x + (42/2) ^ 2 + y2 + 38y + (38/2) ^ 2 = 47 + (42/2) ^ 2 + (38/2) ^ 2
 x2 + 42x + 441 + y2 + 38y + 361 = 47 + 441 + 361
 Rewriting we have:
 (x + 21) ^ 2 + (y + 19) ^ 2 = 849
 The center of the circle is:
 (x, y) = (-21, -19)
 The radio is:
 r = root (849)
 r = (849) ^ 2

 A circle of the same radius is given by:
 x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 50x - 30y + 1 = 0
 Let's check:
 x ^ 2 - 50x + y ^ 2 - 30y + 1 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 50x + y ^ 2 - 30y = - 1
 x ^ 2 - 50x + (-50/2) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 30y + (-30/2) ^ 2 = - 1 + (-30/2) ^ 2 + (-50/2) ^ 2
 x ^ 2 - 50x + (-50/2) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 30y + (-30/2) ^ 2 = - 1 + 225 + 625
 (x-25) ^ 2 + (y-15) ^ 2 = 849
 Answer:
 
(x + 21) ^ 2 + (y + 19) ^ 2 = 849
 
(x, y) = (-21, -19)
 
r = (849) ^ 2
 
x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 50x - 30y + 1 = 0

fredd [130]

Answer:

H_o:p=0.1\\\\H_a:p\neq 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

-A hypothesis is a claim of evidence and is used in making statistical decisions during experiments/ research.

-Given that 10% of the entire shipment is bruised.

-the null hypothesis states that the proportion is equal to the stated value:

H_o:p=0.1

-The alternative  states that the null hypothesis is not correct:

H_a:p\neq 0.1
