A researcher says to the respondents in a poll, “Eating too many sugary foods leads to cavities. Would you rather have soda or water served with your meal?” Is this a valid question to ask of sample respondents?

A. Yes, the more information provided by a researcher the better. Respondents can now give an informed opinion and the results will be more accurate.

B. No, the wording of the question makes respondents more likely to say water, even if they may actually prefer soda at a meal.

C. No, a researcher cannot ask people for preferences because they may not answer honestly. The researcher should observe people and record their beverage selections to insure accurate responses.

D. Yes, the researcher is simply stating a fact: eating sugary foods does lead to cavities. It is okay for a researcher to state facts in asking questions of respondents.

Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. No, the wording of the question makes respondents more likely to say water, even if they may actually prefer soda at a meal.

Explanation:

One important factor when designing questions in research is to avoid any language that might influence the answers of respondents. This recommendation was not followed in the question "Eating too many sugary foods leads to cavities. Would you rather have soda or water served with your meal?" because mentioning sugary foods, which includes soda, leads to cavities will make respondents consider soda is negative and they are more likely to choose water. This implies the wording in the question influences respondents and introduces bias, which is inappropriate. Thus, the correct answer is B.

Answer:

76 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let as consider O is the center of the circle . So from the figure it is clear that

[tex]\angle AOB=44^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle COD=118^{\circ}[/tex]

By central angle theorem, central angle subtended by an arc is twice of inscribed angle of the same arc.

We know that, [tex]\angle BAD=97^{\circ}[/tex] and angle BOD is the central angle subtended by arc BD.

[tex]\angle BOD=2\times \angle BAD[/tex]

[tex]\angle BOD=2\times 97^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle BOD=194^{\circ}[/tex]

Now,

[tex]\angle BOD=\angle BOC+\angle COD[/tex]

[tex]194^{\circ}=\angle BOC+118^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]194^{\circ}-118^{\circ}=\angle BOC[/tex]

[tex]76^{\circ}=\angle BOC[/tex]

[tex]m(arc(BC))=76^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of arc BC is 76 degrees.

How many and of which kind of roots does the equation
f(x) = x5+ 3x4 + 8x3 + 14x2 + 16x + 8 have?
A. 2 real; 3 complex
B.5 real
C. 3 real;2 complex
D.1 real;4 complex

Answers

Answer:

D. 1 real; 4 complex  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the total number of roots

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that any polynomial of degree n has n roots.

Your polynomial is fifth degree, so it has five roots.

2. Calculate the number of real roots

We can use Descartes' rule of signs to determine the number of real roots:

The number of positive real roots is the same as the number of changes in the sign of the coefficients of ƒ(x) or less than by an even number.

The number of negative real roots is the same as the number of changes in sign of the coefficients of the terms of f(-x) or less than this by an even number.

(a) Number of positive real roots

The coefficients of ƒ(x) are

+1 +3 +8 +14 +16 + 8  

There are no changes of sign, so there are no positive real roots.

(b) Number of negative real roots

(i) Find f(-x)

f(-x) = -x⁵+ 3x⁴ - 8x³ + 14x² - 16x + 8

(ii) Count the changes of sign

The coefficients of f(-x) are

-1 ∥ +3 ∥ -8 ∥+14 ∥ -16 ∥ +8

There are five changes of sign.

Thus, the number of negative roots is five, three, or one.

So far, we know that we have five roots. None is positive, and there could be one, three, or five negative real roots.

3. Confirm by sketching the graph

The real roots are the points at which the graph crosses or touches the x-axis.

The graph (see below) crosses the x-axis at only one point.

Thus. we have

one real root (negative) four complex roots

 

If JK = 28, JL = 20, KL = 13, and ML = 22, calculate NL. Image not set to scale.

Answers

Answer:

NL  = 440 /13  or 33.85 (to two decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles JKL and NML

angle JLK = angle NLM           vertical angles

angle KJL = angle MNL           given

Therefore triangles JKL and NML are similar

By proportion of corresponding sides of similar triangles,

NL / JL = LM / LK

Substitute given values

NL / 20 = 22 / 13

solve for NL

NL = 20*22 / 13 = 440 /13  or 33.85 (to two decimals)

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{33.85}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

JL is similar to NL. KL is similar to ML.

We can use ratios to solve.

JL/KL = NL/ML

Let the length of NL be x.

20/13 = x/22

Cross multiply.

13 × x = 22 × 20

13x = 440

Divide both sides by 13.

(13x)/13 =440/13

x = 440/13 = 33.846154...

Answers

Answer:

194.25meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance around the running track is calculated as:

Perimeter of the first semi circle + Perimeter of the second circle +50m + 50m

Semi circle has a length or diameter of = 30m

r = 30/2 = 15m

Perimeter of a circle = 2πr

Hence for a semi circle = 2πr/2 = πr

Perimeter of the first semi circle = π × 15

= 47.123889804m

Perimeter of the second semi circle is the same hence,

π × 15 = 47.123889804m

The distance around the running track

= 47.123889804m + 47.123889804m + 50m + 50m

= 194.24777961m

Approximately= 194.25meters.

If a square has a side of length 3, then it’s area is 9. This square has a side of length 3, so it’s area is 9. Is it valid or invalid?

Answers

Answer:

Yes it is valid

Step-by-step explanation:

A square is a geometric shape which is also known as a Quadrilateral. This means that it has 4 sides.

For a square, it's 4 sides are equal to one another or we can put it in other words as the length of the 4 sides of a square are congruent to one another.

From the above question, we are asked that:

"If a square has a side length of 3, it's area is 9. Is it valid or invalid?"

The above statement is valid. This is because, the formula for the Area of a Square is given as

L × L = L²

Where L = Side length = 3

Area = 3 × 3 = 3²

Area = 9

Therefore, the statement is valid.

Answers

otal perimeter = 76cm = AB + BC + CD + AD

AD & BC = 13cm

EXAMPLE 10 Show that the points (a, a),(-a, - a) and (-3a, 3a) are the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Also find its area.​

Answers

Answer:

The triangle is not equilateral.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula:

[tex] d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex]

Distance from (a, a) to (-a, -a):

[tex] d_1 = \sqrt{(-a - a)^2 + (-a - a)^2} [/tex]

[tex] d_1 = \sqrt{(-2a)^2 + (-2a)^2} [/tex]

[tex] d_1 = \sqrt{8a^2} [/tex]

Distance from (-a, -a) to (-3a, 3a):

[tex] d_2 = \sqrt{(-3a - (-a))^2 + (3a - (-a))^2} [/tex]

[tex] d_2 = \sqrt{(-2a)^2 + (4a)^2} [/tex]

[tex] d_2 = \sqrt{20a^2} [/tex]

Distance from (-3a, 3a) to (a, a):

[tex]d_3 = \sqrt{(-4a)^2 + (2a)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d_3 = \sqrt{20a^2}[/tex]

The three sides do not have the same length, so the triangle is not equilateral.

What is an area?

The area of a 2D form is the amount of space within its perimeter. It is measured in square units such as cm², m², and so on. To find the area of a square formula or another quadrilateral, multiply its length by its width.

Given the length of the rectangle is L(x)=4x, and the width is W(x)=7x²-4x+2. Therefore, the area of the rectangle in terms of x is,

L(x)×W(x) = 4x × (7x²-4x+2)

(L · W) (x) = 28x³ - 16x² + 8x

Hence, the area of the rectangle is (L · W) (x) = 28x³ - 16x² + 8x. Thus, the correct option is C.

what is the answer to x2 = 121.

Answers

Answer:

11 if you mean x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are solving for x, we need to just get x by its self. The only thing we have to do is get rid of the exponent of (^2). to do this, we have to take teh square root of both sides:

The square root of x^2 is x

The square root of 121 is 11

So the asnwer is x = 11

Step-by-step explanation: A common mistake in this problem would be to say that if x² = 121, x must equal 11.

However, you must set the equation equal to 0 first.

So our first step is to subtract 121 from both sides to get x² - 121 = 0.

Next, factor the left side to get (x + 11)(x - 11) = 0

So either x + 11 = 0 or x - 11 = 0.

Solving each equation from here, we find that x = -11 or x = 11.

So our answer is not just 11, it's {11, -11}.

Answers

Answer:

$635

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x7 birdhouses=$35want

So, $35+$600=$635 total!

I hope this helps you!

Multiplication is the process of multiplying. The cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.

The cost of the birdhouse is the sum of the fixed cost, which is the setup cost of the business of $600, and the variable cost is the cost that is needed to make a single house, therefore, $5.

Now, the total cost of making n number of houses will be,

Cost of making n house = Fixed cost + variable cost

                                        = $600 + $5(n)

Further, the table can be filled using the above formula by substituting the value of n for the number of houses. Therefore,

Number of bird houses     Total cost to build

       1                                     $600+$5(1) = $605

       2                                    $600+$5(2) = $610

       3                                    $600+$5(3) = $615

       4                                    $600+$5(4) = $620

       5                                    $600+$5(5) = $625

       6                                    $600+$5(6) = $630

       7                                    $600+$5(7) = $635

Hence, the cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.
