Answer:
1 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say our first number is x. Our second number is the number after that, or x+1. A reciprocal of a number is 1/that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of x is 1/x and the reciprocal of x+1 is 1/(x+1). The question states the sum of the reciprocals of the two numbers is equal to 3/2. Therefore,
1/x + 1/(x+1) = 3/2
multiply both sides by 2 to remove a denominator
2/x + 2/(x+1) = 3
multiply both sides by x to remove a denominator
2 + (2*x)/(x+1) = 3x
multiply both sides by (x+1) to remove the other denominator
2*(x+1) + 2*x = 3x*(x+1)
expand
2*x+2 + 2*x = 3x²+3
combine like terms
4x + 2 = 3x²+3
subtract (4x+2) from both sides to make everything equal to 0 and to form a quadratic
3x² - 4x + 1 = 0
To factor this, we need to find two numbers that add up to b and multiply to a*c in an equation of form ax²+bx + c. Here, a=3, c=1, and b = -4
Two numbers that add to -4 and multiply to 3*1=3 are -3 and -1. We can thus factor this out to get
3x²-3x-x+1 = 0
3x(x-1) -1 ( x-1) = 0
(3x-1)(x-1) = 0
Therefore, solving for 0, we get
3x-1=0
x = 1/3
x-1 = 0
x=1
The only integer solution possible is x=1
To confirm, 1/1 + 1/(1+1) = 3/2, so x=1 is correct, with 1+1=2 being the second integer

If you wanted to make a game where you pay $5 if you can't guess a random dogs weight within 16lbs what payout should you offer you make the game zero-expected value
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Step-by-step explanation:
The population std. dev of the dog weight=8
[tex]\sigma=8\\\\P(\text{guess with in 16 lbs}) = P(|X-\mu|\leq 16)\\\\=P(-2 \leq Z \leq 2) = 0.9544\\\\[/tex]
Calculating the payout w s.t:
[tex]E[netpay]=0=(-5) \times 0.9544+w\times (1-0.9544)\\\\ w =(5 \times \frac{0.9544}{1-0.9544}) =\$ 104.65[/tex]
therefore, we assume that the weight of the dog is a normal distribution with std. deviation that is 8.

In a random sample of seven aerospace engineers, the sample mean monthly income is $6824 and the sample standard deviation is $340. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume that the monthly incomes are normally distributed.
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is ($6510, $7138).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom,which is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 7 - 1 = 6
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.4469.
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.4469\frac{340}{\sqrt{7}} = 314[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 6824 - 314 = $6510.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 6824 + 314 = $7138.
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is ($6510, $7138).

x3−x2+5x−12=0(Multiply both sides by x)
(Use cubic formula)
x=1.836169
Check possible critical points.
x=1.836169(Works in original equation)
Critical points:
x=1.836169(Makes both sides equal)
x=0(Makes left denominator equal to 0)
Check intervals in between critical points. (Test values in the intervals to see if they work.)
x<0(Works in original inequality)

Write the following as an expression: How much water do I need to add to l liters of pure alcohol to obtain a solution of 45% alcohol? The answer is an EXPRESSION, not an actual answer!! WILL MARK BRAINLIST!!!
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
amount of water w
l liter of pure alcohol = 100% alcohol
solution is 45 % percent alcohol
total amount of fluid is w+l
(w+l)( .45) = l*.100
Distribute
.45w + .45 l = 1l
.45 w = 1l - .45l
.45 w = .55l
w = .55l / .45
w =11/9 l
The length of a rectangle is 4 meters longer than the width. If the area is 22 square meters. find the rectangles dimensions. The width is what? The length is what?
Answer:
The width is:
[tex]-2+\sqrt{26}\text{ meters}\text{ }(\text{or approximately 3.0990 meters})[/tex]
And the length is:
[tex]2+\sqrt{26}\text{ meters}\text{ } (\text{or approximately 7.0990 meters})[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle A = w\ell[/tex]
Where w is the width and l is the length.
We are given that the length of a rectangle is four meters longer than the width. Thus:
[tex]\ell = w + 4[/tex]
And we also know that the area of the rectangle is 22 square meteres.
Substitute:
[tex](22)=w(w+4)[/tex]
Distribute and isolate the equation:
[tex]w^2+4w-22=0[/tex]
The equation isn't factorable, so we can instead use the quadratic formula:
[tex]\displaystyle w = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
In this case, a = 1, b = 4, and c = -22. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle w = \frac{-(4)\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(1)(-22)}}{2(1)}[/tex]
Evaluate:
[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned} w &= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{104}}{2}\\ \\ &=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4\cdot 26}}{2} \\ \\ &=\frac{-4\pm2\sqrt{26}}{2} \\ \\ & = -2\pm \sqrt{26} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Thus, our two solutions are:
[tex]w_1=-2+\sqrt{26}\approx 3.0990\text{ or } w_2=-2-\sqrt{26}\approx-7.0990[/tex]
Since the width cannot be negative, we can ignore the second solution.
Since the length is four meters longer than the width:
[tex]\ell = (-2+\sqrt{26})+4=2+\sqrt{26}\text{ meters}[/tex]
Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are:
[tex]\displaystyle (2+\sqrt{26}) \text{ meters by } (-2+\sqrt{26})\text{ meters}[/tex]
Or, approximately 3.0990 by 7.0990.

Step-by-step explanation:
Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.3 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. An operator in the call center is required to answer 76 calls each day. Assume the call times are independent.
What is the expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day?
What is the standard deviation of the total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day? Give your answer to four decimal places.
What is the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls will be less than 166 minutes? Give your answer to four decimal places. Use the standard deviation as you entered it above to answer this question.
What is the value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95? Give your answer to four decimal places. Use the standard deviation as you entered it above to answer this question.
Answer:
The expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 174.8 minutes.
The standard deviation of the total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 17.4356 minutes.
0.3085 = 30.85% approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls will be less than 166 minutes.
The value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95 is [tex]c = 203.4816[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
n instances of a normally distributed variable:
For n instances of a normally distributed variable, the mean is:
[tex]M = n\mu[/tex]
The standard deviation is:
[tex]s = \sigma\sqrt{n}[/tex]
Calls to a customer service center last on average 2.3 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes.
This means that [tex]\mu = 2.3, \sigma = 2[/tex]
An operator in the call center is required to answer 76 calls each day.
This means that [tex]n = 76[/tex]
What is the expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day?
[tex]M = n\mu = 76*2.3 = 174.8[/tex]
The expected total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 174.8 minutes.
What is the standard deviation of the total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day?
[tex]s = \sigma\sqrt{n} = 2\sqrt{76} = 17.4356[/tex]
The standard deviation of the total amount of time in minutes the operator will spend on the calls each day is of 17.4356 minutes.
What is the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls will be less than 166 minutes?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 166.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
For this problem:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - M}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{166 - 174.8}{17.4356}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6915.
1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085.
0.3085 = 30.85% approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls will be less than 166 minutes.
What is the value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95?
This is X = c for which Z has a p-value of 0.95, so X = c when Z = 1.645. Then
[tex]Z = \frac{X - M}{s}[/tex]
[tex]1.645 = \frac{c - 174.8}{17.4356}[/tex]
[tex]c - 174.8 = 1.645*17.4356[/tex]
[tex]c = 203.4816[/tex]
The value c such that the approximate probability that the total time spent on the calls each day is less than c is 0.95 is [tex]c = 203.4816[/tex]

Write the composite function in the form f(g(x)). [Identify the inner function u = g(x) and the outer function y = f(u).] $ y = e^{{\color{red}5}\sqrt{x}} $
Answer:
The answer is "[tex]\frac{5 e^{5\sqrt{x} }}{2\sqrt{x}}[/tex]".
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]y = e^{{\color{\red}5}\sqrt{x}}[/tex]
let
[tex]\to t= 5\sqrt{x}\\\\\frac{dt}{dx}= 5 \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\\\\\frac{dt}{dx}= \frac{5}{2\sqrt{x}}\\\\[/tex]
and
[tex]\to y=e^t\\\\\to \frac{dy}{dt}=e^t\\[/tex]
[tex]\to \frac{dy}{dt}=e^{5\sqrt{x} }\\[/tex]
So,
[tex]\to \frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{dy}{dt} \times \frac{dt}{dx}[/tex]
[tex]=e^{5\sqrt{x} }\times \frac{5}{2\sqrt{x}}\\\\= \frac{5 e^{5\sqrt{x} }}{2\sqrt{x}}[/tex]
OR
[tex]\to g(x) = 5\sqrt{x} \\\\\to f(x) = e^{(x)}\\\\[/tex]

Let me know if anything didn't make sense.
Step-by-step explanation:
So a diagonal through a rectangle makes two triangles. The question wants to know how much walking is saved walking down the diagonal vs walking along two sides that make the diagonal. in this case the two non diagonal sides walked are 60 paces and 50 paces.
A diagonal through a rectangle specifically makes a right triangle, so to find the diagonal we can use the pythagorean theorem.
c^2 = 60^2 + 50^2
c = [tex]\sqrt{60^2 + 50^2}[/tex]
c = [tex]\sqrt{6100} = 10\sqrt{61}[/tex]
if you don't get how to simplify a radical like that let me know.
Anyway, looking at the answers you can see right away the second option says no approximation is necessary. Well, you need to approximate square root of 61, so we can say the second answer is not right. So now we need to know what to fill in for option 1.
it wants the distance saved, well we know the distance of the diagonal is [tex]10\sqrt{61}[/tex] Hopefully you can see the disctance walking the two other sides is just adding them up so 50+60=110.
Now, to find the difference, that is subtraction. So subtract the smaller number from the larger number. You do need to remember with a right triangle, the sum of the to non diagonal (hypotenuse) sides are always longer than said hypotenuse. so that's 110-[tex]10\sqrt{61}[/tex]. That is the exact form. Or you could use 10(11-[tex]\sqrt{61}[/tex]) They are the same.
Then just plug that into a calculator for a decimal approximation.

Identify the decimals labeled with the letters A B and a C
Answer:
A = 0.46, B = 0.61 and C = 0.46
Step-by-step explanation:
From the number line given, we can see that the distance between 0.5 and the next value is by 0.01, hence to get B, we will add 0.01 to the value of 0.6 as shown;
B = 0.6 + 0.01
B = 0.61
To get A, we will add 0.03 to 0.5 as shown:
A = 0.5 + 0.03
A = 0.53
To get the value of C, we will subtract 0.04 from 0.5
as shown:
C = 0.5 - 0.04
C =0.46
Hence A = 0.46, B = 0.61 and C = 0.46
