Answer:

  a) 230

  b) 300

  c) 2×10^-2

  d) 1.1×10^-6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 0.26 × 890 ≈ 1/4 × 900 ≈ 225 ≈ 230

b) 1.95/(.67×10^-2) ≈ 2/(2/3)×10^2 ≈ 300

c) 2010×10^-5 ≈ 2×10^3×10^-5 = 2×10^-2

d) 9.98×10^-4/(9×10^2) = 9.98/9×10^(-4-2) ≈ 1.1×10^-6

YMMV depending on how you do the rounding and approximate multiplication and division.

The first one can be done multiple ways. For most accurate results, increasing one number while decreasing the other is recommended. (You don't want to compute 0.3×900, for example.)

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below: x-intercepts: (-1,0) and (4,0); y-intercept: (0,1)

Answers

Answer:

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.

Thus, we have;

(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0

Now, formula for quadratic equation is;

y = ax² + bx + c

Where c is the y intercept.

At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;

At (-1,0), thus;

0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1

a + b = -1 - - - (1)

At (4,0), thus;

0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1

16a + 4b = -1

Divide both sides by 4 to get;

4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)

From eq 1, b = -1 - a

Thus;

4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4

4a - 1 - a = -1/4

3a - 1 = -1/4

3a = 1 - 1/4

3a = 3/4

a = 1/4

b = -1 - 1/4

b = -5/4

Thus;

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

Martin was selling tickets for a basketball game in a high school. He sold 1,250 tickets and the total amount collected for the game was $2,750. The student tickets cost $2 each, and adult tickets cost $3 each. How many student and adult tickets were sold?

Answers

Answer:

x = number of students tickets = 1,000

y = number of adults tickets = 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of students tickets

y = number of adults tickets

x + y = 1,250 (1)

2x + 3y = 2,750 (2)

Multiply (1) by 2

x + y = 1,250 (1) * 2

2x + 2y = 2,500 (3)

2x + 3y = 2,750 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2) to eliminate x

3y - 2y = 2,750 - 2,500

y = 250

Substitute y = 250 into (1)

x + y = 1,250

x + 250 = 1,250

x = 1,250 - 250

x = 1,000

x = number of students tickets = 1,000

y = number of adults tickets = 250

Dairy cows at large commercial farms often receive injections of bST (Bovine Somatotropin), a hormone used to spur milk production. Bauman et al. (Journal of Dairy Science, 1989) reported that 12 cows given bST produced an average of 28.0 kg/d of milk. Assume that the standart deviation of milk production is 2.25 kg/d. (a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the true mean milk production. Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean milk production is between 26.33 kg/d and 29.67 kg/d.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{2.25}{\sqrt{12}} = 1.67[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 28 - 1.67 = 26.33 kg/d.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 28 + 1.67 = 29.67 kg/d.

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean milk production is between 26.33 kg/d and 29.67 kg/d.

Lets multiply everything in the second parenthesis by 3*sqrt 2

2 sqrt 3 * 3 sqrt 2 =  6 sqrt 6

-4*3 sqrt 2 =  -12 sqrt 2

Now lets multiply everything by 1

1*2 sqrt 3 = 2 sqrt 3

1*-4 = -4

we have

2*-1 *sqrt 3 = -2 sqrt 3

Now multiply everything in the second parenthesis by 2sqrt3

2sqrt 3 * 5 = 10 sqrt 3

2 sqrt 3 * -1* sqrt3 =  -6

Our final awnser is

is AC greater than, less than, or equal to BC? explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer:

AC is greater than BC

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the angle of a straight line is 180°, so angle B as a whole is equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, angle YBC + angle ABC = 180 degrees. As angle YBC is a right angle, signified by the small square on the angle, it is 90 degrees. Therefore,

90 degrees + angle ABC = 180 degrees

subtract 90 degrees from both sides to isolate angle ABC

angle ABC = 90 degrees

Therefore, as angle ABC is equal to 90 degrees, and a right angle is 90 degrees, triangle ABC has a right angle, making it a right triangle.

In a right triangle, using the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other side. Since side AC is opposite the right angle, we can say that

AC² = AB² + BC²

As the length of a side has to be greater than 0, we can say that

AC² = AB² + BC²

AB² > 0

AC² > BC²

square root both sides

AC > BC

Therefore, AC is greater than BC

Here are the first five terms of a sequence. 4, 11, 22, 37, 56 Find an expression, in terms of , for the th term of this sequence.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] a_n = 2n^2 + n + 1 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

4, 11, 22, 37, 56

11 - 4 = 7

22 - 11 = 11

37 - 22 = 15

56 - 37 = 19

After the first difference, 11 - 4 = 7, each difference is 4 more than the previous difference.

Difference of differences:

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

Since we need the difference of differences to find a constant, this must be a second degree function.

[tex] a_1 = 4 = 2^2 + 1(0)[/tex]

[tex] a_2 = 11 = 3^2 + 2 = 3^2 + 2(1) [/tex]

[tex] a_3 = 22 = 4^2 + 6 = 4^2 + 3(2) [/tex]

[tex] a_4 = 37 = 5^2 + 12 = 5^2 + 4(3) [/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 56 = 6^2 + 20 = 6^2 + 5(4)[/tex]

[tex] a_n = (n + 1)^2 + (n)(n - 1) [/tex]

[tex] a_n = (n + 1)^2 + (n)(n - 1) [/tex]

[tex] a_n = n^2 + 2n + 1 + n^2 - n [/tex]

Answers

The question is not complete as the scatter plot is missing.

Thus, I have attached the complete question showing the scatter plot.

Answer:

D: On a day with a high temperature of 0°C, the shop can expect to sell about 850 fluid ounces of hot coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image showing the question and scatter plot, we can see that the scatter plot is modeled by the line; y = -5.9x + 850

Where;

x is the high temperature in °F

y is the amount of fluid ounces sold

Let's try x = 0°F

Thus;

y = 0 + 850

y = 850 fluid ounces

Let's try x = 10°F

Thus;

y = -5.9(10) + 850

y = 850 - 59

y = 791

This means for every increase in temperature of 10°F, the amount sold is approximately 60 fluid ounces lesser.

Looking at the options in the attached file, the only correct one that corresponds to our answer is option D where it says;. On a day with a high temperature of 0°C, the shop can expect to sell about 850 fluid ounces of hot coffee

Answers

Answer:

-x²-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing I noticed is that the first and second point has the same y intercept despite being only 2 x coordiantes away. This must mean that the vertex's x coordiante is probably (-1,4)

Because the vertex is probably (-1,4) the graph must also be concave down because the point (-4,-5) is below it

writing this in vertex form we get

-a(x+1)²+4

Where a is some constant

solve for a by plugging in (0,3)

3= -a(0+1)²+4

3= -a+4

-1= -a

a=1

therefore the equation looks like

-(x+1)²+4

expanding this so that it's in stantard form...

-(x²+x+x+1)+4

-x²-2x+3

Based on the calculation, you can wear the 10 outfits in 50 different ways throughout the week.

How to calculate the number of ways

To calculate the number of ways you can wear 10 outfits to school each day in a 5-day week, you need to consider the total number of outfits across all days. Since there are 10 outfits and 5 days, the total number of outfit combinations can be calculated by multiplying the number of outfits per day by the number of days:

10 outfits/day × 5 days = 50 outfit combinations

Therefore, you can wear the 10 outfits in 50 different ways throughout the week.
