Answer:

The sum is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

This factors into

Factors

(3x - 2)(2x + 1) = 0

First root

3x - 2 = 0

3x = 2

x = 2/3

===============

Second Root

2x + 1 = 0

2x = 1

2x = - 1

x = - 1/2

===============

The two roots are 2/3 and - 1/2

When you add these two together, you get

2/3 - 1/2 = 4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

The two roots add up to 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

Given data

An earthquake wave travels through 55 km

hence distance = 55 km

time taken = 25 seconds

Required

the expression relating t and d

Step two:

we know that velocity is

Speed= distance/time

speed= 55/25

On a standardized exam, the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 165 and astandard deviation of 40. Find the z-score o

vladimir1956 [14]

The Z-score is calculated by the formula below

$\begin{gathered} z-score=\frac{(x-\mu)}{\sigma}_{} \\ \mu=\operatorname{mean} \\ \sigma=s\tan dard\text{ deviation} \\ x=\text{score} \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Substitute the given parameters in the formula

$\begin{gathered} z-\text{score}=\frac{145-165}{40} \\ Z=-\frac{20}{40} \\ Z=-\frac{1}{2} \\ Z=-0.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the z-score of a person who scored 145 on the exam is -0.5
