We need to find
positive integers less than 1,000,000 have exactly one digit equal to 9 and have a sum of digits equal to 13
Let all 9 numbers ae
a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+9=13
a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h=13-9
a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h=4
Then we use combinations

Step-by-step explanation:
You have to find the points on the 8th and the 9th day, and then you would add them together, and then divide by two finding the average, which would be 24 and 18, so when added, you get 42, divided by 2 you get 21. You look on the graph for the point with 21, and you find it is on 6.
List the sides of ΔRST in ascending order (shortest to longest). m∠R=2x+11°, m∠S=3x+23°, and m∠T=x+42°
Answer:
ST, RS, RT
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles of a triangle add up to 180°.
2x + 11° + 3x + 23° + x + 42° = 180°
6x + 76° = 180°
x = 17⅓
m∠R = 2x+11° = 45⅔°
m∠S = 3x+23° = 75°
m∠T = x+42° = 59⅓°
The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, and the longest side is opposite the largest angle.

what's the equation that represents the new path
Answer:
A: y= 1/4x - 7
if it is perpendicular, then it creates 4 right angles. so that new line would pass through (0,-7) and something else that isnt important. but the slope, or m, would be 1/4, and the y intercept would be -7. so the new equation is y=1/4x-7
Help and show work plz
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have 4 integers that have an average of 9, then all the numbers will add up to [tex]9\cdot4=36[/tex].
If we want the greatest number possible, the other 3 need to be the lowest possible.
Since they are all different, the lowest possible values of the first 3 numbers are 1, 2, and 3.
[tex]1 + 2 + 3 = 6[/tex]
[tex]36 - 6 = 30[/tex]
So 30 is the greatest value of one of the integers.

Step-by-step explanation:
sin x + sin 5x = sin 2x + sin 4x
⇒⇒ 2 sin 3x cos 2x = 2 sin 3x cos x

Since Jayla spent 1/16 of a minute AND one whole minute watching a millipede crawl, we'd need to first add the two numbers.
Since the given minute is out of 16, we can convert the one minute to 16/16. This means we can add the other 1/16 of a minute.

A shopping centre wants to examine the amount of space required for parking. Studies indicated that 50% of staff and shoppers use public transportation. A survey of 1002 was taken, and 483 responded that they used public transportation. At 5% level of significance, is it reasonable to conclude that the survey results indicate a change?
Answer:
We accept H₀ data from the survey is not enough to claim that 50% of the proportion indicated in previous studies have change
Step-by-step explanation:
To get conclusions about the survey we need to develop a hypothesis test of proportion
According to previous studies, (p₀ ) 50 % of staff and customers use public transportation, and we got from a survey 0f 1002 people 483 responded they also use then p = 483/1002 then
n sample size is 1002 and p = 0,482 (48,2 % )
Test Hypothesis
Null hypothesis H₀ p = p₀
Alternative hypothesis Hₐ p < p₀
CI = 95 % α = 5 % α = 0,05 and from z-table we find z score for that value z(c) = - 1,64
z(s) = ( p - p₀ ) / √ (p₀*q₀)/ n p₀ = q₀ = 0,5
z(s) = - 0,018* 31,65 / 0,5
z(s) = - 1,1394
To compare
z(s) and z(c) -1,1394 > 1,64
Then z(s) is inside the acceptance region. We accept H₀ , because we don´t have enough evidence to claim that the survey results indicate a change in

Answer:
Three points are (0,-5.5), (-1,-3), (-2.2,0) and graph is shown below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]-2y=5x+11[/tex]
We need to find three points that solve the equation.
Put x=0,
[tex]-2y=5(0)+11[/tex]
[tex]-2y=11[/tex]
[tex]y=-5.5[/tex]
Put x=-1,
[tex]-2y=5(-1)+11[/tex]
[tex]-2y=6[/tex]
[tex]y=-3[/tex]
Put y=0,
[tex]-2(0)=5x+11[/tex]
[tex]5x=-11[/tex]
[tex]x=-2.2[/tex]
So, three points (0,-5.5), (-1,-3) and (-2.2,0) are the solutions of the given equation.
Plot these points on a coordinate plane and connect them by a straight line as shown below.

The given line segment has a midpoint at (−1, −2). On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 5, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 2), and (3, negative 1). What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the perpendicular bisector of the given line segment? y = −4x − 4 y = −4x − 6 y = One-fourthx – 4 y = One-fourthx – 6
Answer:
y = -4x - 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given (-5, -3), (-1, -2), and (3, -1) for points of a line. First, we need to find the slope.
(-2 - -3) / (-1 - -5) = (-2 + 3) / (-1 + 5) = 1 / 4.
A perpendicular bisector would have a slope of -4, which is the negative reciprocal of 1/4.
Now that we have the slope, we can say that the equation is y = -4x + b. To find what is b, we can say that y = -2 and x = -1.
-2 = -4(-1) + b
-2 = 4 + b
b + 4 = -2
b = -6
So, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = -4x - 6.
Hope this helps!

For the following graph, state the polar coordinate with a positive r and positive q (in radians). Explain your steps as to how you determined the coordinate (in your own words). I'm looking for answers that involve π, not degrees for your angles. State the polar coordinate with (r, -q). Explain how you found the new angle. State the polar coordinate with (-r, q). Explain how you found the new angle. State the polar coordinate with (-r, -q). Explain how you found the new angle.
the graph has 12 segments so angle enclosed by each segment is [tex] {2\pi\over 12}=\frac{\pi}6[/tex]
anti-clockwise is taken as positive, so if you want positive q, you need to rotate 8 segments [tex] q=8\frac,{\pi}6=\frac{4\pi}3 [/tex] , and and 8 circles or units so r=8
and for a negative angle, you need to rotate clockwise
Which is 4 segments from the horizontal line. so [tex]q=-\frac{2\pi}3[/tex] and r will be same, 8 units.
[not sure about -r so I won't include it in answer]
Answer:
Points : ( 8, - 2π/3 ), ( - 8, π/3 ), ( - 8, - 5π/3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first two cases, ( r, θ ) r would be > 0, where r is the directed distance from the pole, and theta is the directed angle from the positive x - axis.
So when r is positive, we can tell that this point is 8 units from the pole, so r is going to be 8 in either case,
( 8, 240° ) - because r is positive, theta would have to be an angle with which it's terminal side passes through this point. As you can see that would be 2 / 3rd of 90 degrees more than a 180 degree angle,or 60 + 180 = 240 degrees.
( 8, - 120° ) - now theta will be the negative side of 360 - 240, or in other words - 120
Now let's consider the second two cases, where r is < 0. Of course the point will still be 8 units from the pole. Again for r < 0 the point will lay on the ray pointing in the opposite direction of the terminal side of theta.
( - 8, 60° ) - theta will now be 2 / 3rd of 90 degrees, or 60 degrees, for - r. Respectively the remaining degrees will be negative, 360 - 60 = 300, - 300. Thus our second point for - r will be ( - 8, - 300° )
_________________________________
So we have the points ( 8, 240° ), ( 8, - 120° ), ( - 8, 60° ), and ( - 8, - 300° ). However we only want 3 cases, so we have points ( 8, - 120° ), ( - 8, 60° ), and ( - 8, - 300° ). Let's convert the degrees into radians,
Points : ( 8, - 2π/3 ), ( - 8, π/3 ), ( - 8, - 5π/3 )

Answer:
[tex] y = \frac{3}{4}x - 2 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is given as [tex] y = mx + b [/tex]
Where,
m = slope of the line = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]
b = y-intercept, which is the value at the point where the line intercepts the y-axis. At this point, x = 0.
Let's find m and b to derive the equation for the line.
[tex] m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]
Use the coordinate pair of any two points on the line. Let's use the following,
[tex] (0, -2) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex] => on the line, when x = 0, y = -2
[tex] (4, 1) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex] => on the line, when x = 4, y = 1
Plug in the values and solve for m
[tex] m = \frac{1 - (-2)}{4 - 0} [/tex]
[tex] m = \frac{1 + 2}{4} [/tex]
[tex] m = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
b = -2 (the line intercepts the y-axis at this point)
Our equation would be =>
[tex] y = mx + b [/tex]
[tex] y = \frac{3}{4}x + (-2) [/tex]
[tex] y = \frac{3}{4}x - 2 [/tex]

60 cm diameter = 2 × 30 cm radius
So, we have ...
99,000 cm³ = π(30 cm)²h
99,000/(900π) cm = h ≈ 35.01 cm
The oil is 35 cm deep in the drum.
Why is 12 * 10-8 is NOT a correct representation of scientific notation?
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Scientific notation is a * 10 ^b
a must be a number between 1 ( including 1 ) and less than 10
12 is greater than 10 so it is not scientific notation
A researcher surveys middle-school students on their study habits. She finds that in a random sample of 28 middle-school students, the mean amount of time that they spend working on the computer each night is 2.4 hours with a standard deviation of 0.92 hours. She uses the sample statistics to compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean - the the mean amount of time that all middle-school students spend working on the computer each night. What is the margin of error for this confidence interval
Answer:
The margin of error is [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 0.92}{\sqrt{28 } }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is [tex]n = 28[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 2.4 \ hr[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.92 \ hr[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% the the level of significance can be evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 -95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table,the value is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.05}{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 0.92}{\sqrt{28 } }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.3408[/tex]
