L = w + 7
W = w
A = L * W
120 = w(w+7)
120 = w^2 + 7w
Subtract 120 from both sides.
w^2 + 7w - 120 = 0
Factor
(w + 15)(w - 8) = 0
Set each factor equal to zero.
w = -15, w= 8
Cannot be -15 so w = 8
Length = 15
Width = 8

In simplest radical form, what are the solutions to the quadratic equation 6 = x2 - 10x?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

x = $5 - \sqrt{31}$ , $5 + \sqrt{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = x^2 - 10x

0 = x^2 - 10x - 6

Let's use the quadratic formula. ( $x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$ )

$x = \frac{10 +- \sqrt{-10^2 - 4(-6)}}{2}$

x = $\frac{10 +- 2\sqrt{31} }{2}$

= 5 +- $\sqrt{31}$

x = $5 - \sqrt{31}$ , $5 + \sqrt{31}$

Binomial probability distributions depend on the number of trials n of a binomial experiment and the probability of success p on

FinnZ [79.3K]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answers and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

(a) Binomial probability distributions depend on the number of trials n of a binomial experiment and the probability of success p on each trial. Under what conditions is it appropriate to use a normal approximation to the binomial? (Select all that apply.)

nq > 10

np > 5

p > 0.5

np > 10

p < 0.5

nq > 5

(b) What is the probability of "12" or fewer successes for a binomial experiment with 20 trials. The probability of success on a single trial is 0.50. Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer this question. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

(a) The correct options are np > 5 and nq > 5

(b) P(x ≤ 12) = 0.8133
