Enter your answer in the box.

a =

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a+(-1.2)= -5.5

a-1.2=-5.5

add 1.2 to both sides

a-1.2+1.2= - 5.5+1.2

simplify

a= - 4.3

Answer 2

Answer:

a=-4.3

Why?:

You would have to keep the answer negative, this is because if it were to be positive it would make the negative decrease.

You could easily get a line paper and line up-

-4.3

+ -1.2

_______

-5.5

-5.5-(-1.2) would make the equation end up like -5.5+1.2, and -5.5+1.2=-4.3

Therefore,

a=-4.3

PLS HELPPP IM DYING

Answers

Answer:

2520cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area = sum of the area of all the bases.

Area of bottom base = 28 * 30 = 840

Area of right base = 25 * 30 = 750

Area of left base = 17 * 30 = 510

Area of two triangles = ( 15 * 28 ) / 2 = 210 * 2 = 420

Then add all the areas together to find surface area

Surface area = 840 + 750 + 510 + 420 = 2520cm²

Relevant Formulas:

Area of a rectangle = length * width. This formula was used to find the area of the bottom base, the right base and the left base

Area of a triangle = ( height * base length ) / 2 . This formula was used to find the area of the sides which are triangles.

given the function f(x)=-2x^4-16x^3-36x^2, determine all intervals on which f is both decreasing and concave down

Answers

Answer:

  (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The only maximum, local or otherwise, is at x=0. Since the leading coefficient is negative, the function is decreasing and concave down for x-values greater than 0.

  0 < x < ∞ . . . . . decreasing and concave down

__

Since the leading coefficient of this even-degree function is negative, it will have a generally ∩ shape. It will be decreasing to the right of any local maximum.

The first derivative is negative only for x > 0, so that is the only region where the function is decreasing. Since that x=0 is a local maximum, the function must be concave downward in that neighborhood.

__

The attached graph shows the function and its first and second derivatives. The function is concave down where the second derivative is negative, to the right of the right-most point of inflection.

_____

Additional comment

A graphing calculator provides a quick answer to a question like this. You can find the same answer algebraically.

The first derivative is ...

  f'(x) = -8x^3 -48x^2 -72x = -8x(x^2 +6x +9) = -8x(x+3)^2

This has a zero at x=-3 where the graph of it touches the x-axis, but does not change sign. That means f(x) has a flat spot at x=-3, but is not decreasing except to the right of x=0.

The second derivative is ...

  f''(x) = -24x^2 -96x -72 = -24(x^2 +4x +3) = -24(x +1)(x +3)

The second derivative will be negative for x < -3 and x > -1, to the left and right of the points of inflection. This means f(x) is concave upward only for -3 < x < -1, and concave downward everywhere else.

The function is concave downward and decreasing for x > 0.

ANSWER: {(
)}

Answers

Answer:

x=1,y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use the substitution method. Since we know that x is equal to 2y-1, we can rewrite the first equation as 2(2y-1)+y=3. Now solving we get:

4y-2+y=3

5y-2=3

5y=5

y=1

Now we can plug in 1 for y in the second equation and get:

x=2(1)-1

x=1

This means that x=1, and y=1

Answers

Answer:

10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides r, 10 and 20 are parallel to each other as all three are perpendicular  to same line.

The triangles are similar as two sides are on same lines and another one is parallel as described above.

Work out the value of r using ratios of corresponding sides:

(r + 10)/(10 + 20) = r/10(r + 10)/30 = r/10r + 10 = 3r2r = 10r = 5 in

Now, find the distance x from the bottom of the cone to the base of the smallest ball, using same method as above:

(x + r)/r = (x + 2r + 10)/10(x + 5)/5 = (x + 20)/102(x + 5) = x + 202x + 10 = x + 20x = 10

if each quadrilateral below is a rectangle, find the missing measures. ​

Answers

Answer:

Recall each angle in a rectangle is 90 degrees.  So to find the other portion, subtract the given angle from the 90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing measures of the angles are as follows:

m∠BCD = 90°

m∠ABD = 16°

m∠CBE = 74°

m∠ADE = 74°

m∠AEB = 148°

m∠DEA = 32°

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal; or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.

here, we have,

to determine the measures of the angles:

The figure that completes the question is added as an attachment

From the figure of the rectangle, we have:

m∠BDC = 16°

A rectangle has four (4) interior angles that are 90 degrees each.

This means that

m∠ADE = 90 - 16

m∠ADE = 74°

Also, we have:

m∠ABD = m∠BDC = 16° by the alternate interior angles

By the complementary angle, we have:

m∠CBE = 90 - 16 = 74°

By the alternate interior angles, we have

m∠ADE = m∠CBE = 74°

Solving further, we have the following equations:

m∠AEB = 180 - 2(16)

m∠AEB = 148°

m∠DEA = 180 - m∠AEB

m∠DEA = 180 - 148

m∠DEA = 32°

Hence, the measure of the angle DEA is 32 degrees

m∠BCD = 90°

m∠ABD = 16°

m∠CBE = 74°

m∠ADE = 74°

m∠AEB = 148°

m∠DEA = 32°

Answer:

  (x, y) = (6, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve for x and y by writing equations that reflect the relation applicable to the given geometry.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. That means the halves of each diagonal are equal.

  2x -4 = 4y . . . . . . down diagonal

  x +4 = 7y -4 . . . . . up diagonal

__

We can subtract the first equation from 2 times the second equation to eliminate the x-variable.

  2(x +4) -(2x -4) = 2(7y -4) -(4y)

  2x +8 -2x +4 = 14y -8 -4y . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  12 = 10y -8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  20 = 10y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 8

  2 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

Substituting into the second equation gives ...

  x +4 = 7(2) -4

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

The values of x and y are (x, y) = (6, 2).

Marcus has picture with the dimensions of 3 ft wide and 5 ft long. He would like to change the picture using a scale factor of 1/2. What are the new dimensions for the picture and is the new picture a reduction or enlargement. Explain how you know. *

Answers

Answer:

Reduction: new dimensios are 1.5ft x 2.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he is using a scale factor of 1/2, we merely multiply everything by 1/2

3 ft * 1/2 = 1.5 ft

5 ft * 1/2 = 2.5 ft

It is obviously a reduction first since the scale factor is less than one, but you can also see that the dimensions decreased.

Answer:

The new dimensions are 1.5 ft wide and 2.5 ft long. The picture would be a reduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale factor is less than 1 we know that the dimensions are smaller than the original. So we multiply 3 and 5 by 0.5. We get the new dimensions of 1.5ft wide by 2.5 ft long. Knowing this information we can conclude that the new picture is a reduction.

En un barrio de 3.120 habitantes, se realizó una encuesta a 620 sobre la preferencia
por comer huevo al desayuno todos los días, contestando que, si le gusta 18 personas,
probablemente en el barrio, ¿cuántas personas prefieren lo mismo?

Answers

Es probable que el número de personas a las que si les gusta comer huevo al desayuno todos los días sea 90 personas.

Según principios estadísticos, es posible determinar una tendencia general utilizando una muestra de la población. En otras palabras, es posible tener una idea aproximada de las preferencias de una población si se logran determinar las preferencias de un pequeño grupo de dicha población.

En este caso sabemos que la población total equivale a 3120 habitantes, la muestra equivale a 620 personas y en la muestra 18 personas comen huevo al desayuno todos los días.

Usando una regla de tres podemos determinar la tendencia general:

Si a 18 personas de 620 les gusta comer huevo todos los días al desayuno, a cuántas personas de 3120 les gusta lo mismo.

18 = 620x = 3120

x = 18 x 3120 / 620x = 56160 / 620x=  90

Es decir que aproximadamente 90 personas tienen esta misma preferencia.
