Sample Answer/Explanation: I would apply the square root property of equality. Since there is no x term present, my approach would be to simply add and divide to isolate x². After that, I would extract the square root.

To solve this problem, I would add 7 to obtain...

... 2x² = 16

Next, I would divide by 2 to yield

... x² = 8

I would then take the square root, noting that both positive and negative solutions exist.

... x = ±√8

This root can be simplified to give...

... x = ±2√2

_____

This method appeared to be the most straightforward to me. Although one could apply the quadratic formula, that entails more steps.

... 2x² -16 = 0.... continuing by subtracting 9

... x = (-0 ± √(0² -4·2·(-16)))/(2·2).... inserting the coefficients into the formula

... x = ±(√128)/4 = ±√8 = ±2√2..... simplifying the final expression

Determine the input value for which the statement f(x) = g(x) is true. From the graph, the input value is approximately_______ .
babunello [11817]

For this inquiry, we are presented with a graph, and we're tasked with determining the x-coordinate of where the two lines intersect.

An examination of the graph indicates that the input value is around 3.3.

In the graph,

f(x) =3

To derive g(x), we need the slope and y-intercept.

The slope represents the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change.

In this case, the rise is 3 units and the run is 2 units. The line intersects the y-axis at -2.

Thus, the equation for g(x) becomes

g(x) = \frac{3}{2}x -2

Next, we will perform

f(x)= g(x)

Substituting the values of both functions will yield

3 = \frac{3}{2}x -2

By adding 2 to both sides, we have

5 = \frac{3}{2}x

We will apply cross multiplication

10 =3x
\\
x = \frac{10}{3}

x = 3.3

Thus, the approximate input value is 3.3.

Statistics can help decide the authorship of literary works. Sonnets by a certain Elizabethan poet are known to contain an avera
AnnZ [12381]

Response:

It is inferred that the authors of the sonnets belong to a certain poet from the Elizabethan era.

Step-by-step breakdown:

The details provided in the question are as follows:

Population mean, μ = 8.9

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 10.2

Sample size, n = 6

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 2.5

Initially, we formulate the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis

To conduct this test, we utilize the One-tailed z test.

a) Equation:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

By substituting in all relevant values, we determine:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{10.2 - 8.9}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{6}} } = 1.28

Next, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = 1.64

b) The p-value is computed using the z-table.

P-value = 0.1003

The p-value surpasses the alpha of 0.05

c) Because the p-value exceeds the alpha threshold, there is insufficient evidence to dismiss the null hypothesis, thereby supporting the null hypothesis.

Consequently, it is concluded that the authorship of the sonnets belongs to a particular Elizabethan poet.
