[tex] \sqrt{x^2-4x+8} +x=2 - x[/tex]
please show all workings​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle \sqrt{x^2-4x+8}+x=2-x[/tex]

We can isolate the square root. Subtract x from both sides:

[tex]\sqrt{x^2-4x+8}=2-2x[/tex]

And square both sides:

[tex](\sqrt{x^2-4x+8})^2=(2-2x)^2[/tex]

Expand:

[tex]x^2-4x+8=4-8x+4x^2[/tex]

Isolate the equation:

[tex]3x^2-4x-4=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex]\displaystyle (3x+2)(x-2)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]3x+2=0\text{ or } x-2=0[/tex]

Solve for each case. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{2}{3}\text{ or } x=2[/tex]

Now, we need to check for extraneous solutions. To do so, we can substitute each value back into the original equation and check whether or not the resulting statement is true.

Testing x = -2/3:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \sqrt{\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2-4\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)+8}+\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)&\stackrel{?}{=}2-\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)\\ \\ \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}+\frac{8}{3}+8}-\frac{2}{3}&\stackrel{?}{=}2+\frac{2}{3} \\ \\ \sqrt{\frac{100}{9}}-\frac{2}{3}& \stackrel{?}{=} \frac{8}{3}\\ \\ \frac{10}{3}-\frac{2}{3} =\frac{8}{3}& \stackrel{\checkmark}{=}\frac{8}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since the resulting statement is true, x = -2/3 is indeed a solution.

Testing x = 2:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\sqrt{(2)^2-4(2)+8}+(2) &\stackrel{?}{=}2-(2) \\ \\ \sqrt{4-8+8}+2&\stackrel{?}{=}0 \\ \\ \sqrt{4}+2&\stackrel{?}{=}0 \\ \\ 2+2=4&\neq 0\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since the resulting statement is not true, x = 2 is not a solution.

Therefore, our only solution to the equation is x = -2/3.  

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

[tex] \sqrt{ {x}^{2} - 4x + 8} + x = 2 - x[/tex]

Take "X" in right side.

[tex] \sqrt{ {x - 4 + 8}^{2} } = 2 - 2x[/tex]

Squaring on both sides;

[tex] {( \sqrt{ {x}^{2} - 4x + 8 } )}^{2} = {(2 - 2x)}^{2} [/tex]

Simplify;

[tex] {x}^{2} - 4x + 8 = {(2)}^{2} - 2.2.2x + {(2x)}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] {x }^{2} - 4x + 8 = 4 - 8x + 4 {x}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]3 {x}^{2} - 4x - 4 = 0[/tex]

[tex]3 {x}^{2} - (6 - 2)x - 4 = 0[/tex]

[tex] 3 {x}^{2} - 6x + 2x - 4 = 0[/tex]

[tex]3x(x - 2) + 2(x - 2) = 0[/tex]

[tex](3x + 2)(x - 2) = 0[/tex]

Either;

3x+2 = 0

x= -2/3

Or;

x-2 = 0

x= 2

Check:

Keeping X= -2/3,

√(x²-4x+8 ) +X = 2-x

√{(-2/3)²-4*-2/3+8}+(-2/3) = 2+2/3

8/3 = 8/3 (True)

Now; Keeping X= 2

√{(2)²-4*2+8}+2 = 2-2

8 ≠0 (False)

Therefore, the value of X is -2/3.

Hope it helps!

A water storage tank has the shape of a cylinder with diameter 14 ft. It is mounted so that the circular cross-sections are vertical. If the depth of the water is 12 ft, what percentage of the total capacity is being used

Answers

Answer:

"85.7%" is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The total capacity of water tank will be:

⇒ [tex]v_1=A\times 14[/tex]

The total volume of water will be:

⇒ [tex]v_2=A\times 12[/tex]

Now,

The percentage of total capacity will be:

= [tex]\frac{100\times v_2}{v_1}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{v_2}{v_1}\times 100[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{A\times 12}{A\times 14}\times 100[/tex]

= [tex]85.7[/tex]%

How many distinct ways can the word EVANESCENCE be arranged if the anagram must end with the letter E?

hint... 10!/2!3!2! = 151,200

Answers

Answer:

151200

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by essentially taking off the E at the end, meaning that we want to find all the combinations of

EVANESCENC. We can do this because the combinations will have an E at the end by default.

To solve this, we have to figure out the amount of letters and the amount of each letter. There are 10 letters, with 3 E's, 2 C's, 2 N's, 1 S, 1 V, and 1 A. Using the formula [tex]\frac{n!}{n1!n2!...nk!}[/tex] , with n representing the amount of letters and each subset of n representing the amount of each letters, our answer is

[tex]\frac{10!}{3!2!2!1!1!1!} = \frac{10!}{3!2!2!} = 151200[/tex]

The ordered pair to represent t in the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]t=u+v[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get

[tex]t=((-1)+3,4+(-2))[/tex]

[tex]t=(-1+3,4-2)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

4y = 12x + 16

3x = y - 4

12x + 16 = 12x + 16

Answers

Answer:

Systematic Sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

systematic sampling is a statistical method involving the selection of elements from an ordered sampling frame. The most common form of systematic sampling is an equiprobability method. In this approach, progression through the list is treated circularly, with a return to the top once the end of the list is passed. The sampling starts by selecting an element from the list at random and then every Kth element in the frame is selected.

So, systematic sampling is right Answer.

There is a bag with only red marbles and blue marbles.
The probability of randomly choosing a red marble is
7/12
There are 84 marbles in total in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen.
Work out how many red marbles there must be.

Answers

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing a red marble is equal to the number of red marbles over the number of total marbles there are.

Therefore, let the number of red marbles be [tex]x[/tex].

We have the following equation:

[tex]\frac{x}{84}=\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we get:

[tex]12x=7\cdot 84,\\x=\frac{84\cdot 7}{12},\\x=\boxed{49}[/tex]

Therefore, there are 49 red marbles in the bag.

Consider the probability distribution shown below. x 0 1 2 P(x) 0.15 0.80 0.05 Compute the expected value of the distribution. (Enter a number.) Compute the standard deviation of the distribution. (Enter a number. Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Expected value =0.9

Standard deviation = 0.4359

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the formula to find expected value or mean.

Expected value =Σ x *P(x)

  x    0    1     2

P(x) ) .15  .8  .05

So, expected value = (0)(0.15) +1(0.8)+2(0.05)

                                = 0 +0.8 +0.1

                                =0.9

Expected value =0.9

Now, let's find standard deviation

x           [tex](x- E(x))^{2}[/tex]         [tex](x-E(x))^{2} *p(x)[/tex]

0           [tex](0-0.9)^{2}[/tex]            [tex](0-0.9)^{2} *0.15[/tex]  =0.1215

1            [tex](1-0.9)^{2}[/tex]            [tex](1-0.9)^{2} *0.8[/tex]    =0.008

2           [tex](2-0.9)^{2}[/tex]             [tex](2-0.9)^{2} *0.05[/tex]  =0.0605

Now, add the last column together and then take square root to find standard deviation.

Standard deviation of the distribution =[tex]\sqrt{0.1215+0.008+0.0605)}[/tex]

Simplify it, so standard deviation =0.4358898...

Round the answer to nearest four decimal places

Standard deviation = 0.4359
