X = 9

add up all 4 sides
2x - 3 + 2x - 3 + 4x + 8 + 4x + 8 = 118

combine like terms
12x + 10 = 118

subtract 10 on both sides to get x by itself
12x + 10 = 118
- 10 - 10
12x = 108

divide by 12 on both sides
12x = 108
12 12
x = 9

Jenny multiplies the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$. Her product is an integer. a) Name three number

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a) $2,50,18$

Part b) When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$ , she gets an integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the favorite positive integer

Part a)

1) For $x=2$

$\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{4}=2$ -----> the product is an integer

The number $x=2$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

2) For $x=50$

$\sqrt{50}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{100}=10$ -----> the product is an integer

The number $x=50$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

3) For $x=18$

$\sqrt{18}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{36}=6$ -----> the product is an integer

The number $x=18$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

Part B)

1) For $x=2$

$\sqrt{2}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{1}=1$ -----> the result is an integer

2) For $x=50$

$\sqrt{50}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{25}=5$ -----> the result is an integer

3) For $x=18$

$\sqrt{18}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{9}=3$ -----> the result is an integer

Therefore

When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$ , she gets an integer

Tania has a set of nesting rings. This table shows the relationship between the radius of a ring and the ring's circumference.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The circumference is 59.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle (ring) is given by the formula

$C=2\pi r$

If the radius is

$r=9.5\ cm$

substitute in the formula

$C=2\pi (9.5)$

$C=19\pi\ cm$ ----> exact value

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$C=19(3.14)=59.66\ cm$

General Hospital has noted that they admit an average of 9 patients per hour.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

(a) The probability that during the next hour less than 3 patients will be admitted is 0.00623.

(b) The probability that during the next two hours exactly 8 patients will be admitted is 0.00416.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is: General Hospital has noted that they admit an average of 8 patients per hour.

(a) What is the probability that during the next hour less than 3 patients will be admitted?

(b) What is the probability that during the next two hours exactly 8 patients will be admitted?

The above situation can be represented through Poisson distribution as it includes the arrival rate of the pattern. So, the probability distribution of the Poisson distribution is given by;

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \times \lambda^{x} }{x!} ; x = 0,1,2,......$

Here X = Number of patients admitted in the hospital

$\lambda$ = arrival rate of patients per hour = 9 patients

So, X ~ Poisson( $\lambda$ = 9)

(a) The probability that during the next hour less than 3 patients will be admitted is given by = P(X < 3)

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

= $\frac{e^{-9} \times 9^{0} }{0!} + \frac{e^{-9} \times 9^{1} }{1!} + \frac{e^{-9} \times 9^{2} }{2!}$

= $e^{-9} +(e^{-9} \times 9)+ \frac{e^{-9} \times 81}{2}$

= 0.00623

(b) Here, $\lambda = 9 \times 2$ = 18 because we have to find the probability for the next two hours and we are given in the question of per hour.

So, X ~ Poisson( $\lambda$ = 18)

Now, the probability that during the next two hours exactly 8 patients will be admitted is given by = P(X = 8)

P(X = 8) = $\frac{e^{-18} \times 18^{8} }{8!}$

= 0.00416
