Each Friday, the sixth grade students in Mr. Shin's physical education class spend the first five minutes doing crunches. Instead of keeping track of the weekly total number of crunches, Mr. Shin keeps track of how they do compared to the week before, and then records the result as a positive or negative number. Record the number for each of the following:


Ben did 10 more crunches this week than last week. What number would Mr. Shin record?

Gail did 8 less crunches this week than last week. What number would Mr. Shin record?

Nathaniel did the same number of crunches this week as last week. What number would Mr. Shin record?



awnser asap

Answers

Answer:

Mr. Shim would record the number +10 or 10 for Ben because of the word "more".

For Gail, Mr. Shin would record the number -8 because of the word, "less''.

Since Nathaniel did not improve or decrease the number of crunches, Mr. Shin would record the number 0.

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.
7x² + 1 = 5x

Answers

Answer:

Imaginary roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is given by [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex].

Given [tex]7x^2+1=5x[/tex], subtract 5x from both sides so that the quadratic is in standard form:

[tex]7x^2-5x+1=0[/tex]

Now assign variables:

[tex]a\implies 7[/tex] [tex]b\implies -5[/tex] [tex]c\implies 1[/tex]

The discriminant is therefore [tex](-5)^2-4(7)(1)=25-28=\textbf{-3}[/tex].

What does this tell us about the roots?

Recall that the discriminant is what is under the radical in the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions of a quadratic. Therefore, the solutions of this quadratic would be equal to [tex]\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{-3}}{2a}[/tex] for some [tex]b[/tex] and [tex]a[/tex]. Since the number under the radical is negative, there are no real roots to the quadratic (whenever the discriminant is negative, the are zero real solutions to the quadratic). Therefore, the quadratic has imaginary roots.

Question 6 of 10
Which situation shows a constant rate of change?
A. The number of tickets sold compared with the number of minutes
before a football game
B. The height of a bird over time
C. The cost of a bunch of grapes compared with its weight
D. The outside temperature compared with the time of day
SUBMI

Answers

I’d personally say either A or C, and here’s why: with B and D, you don’t know what will change it, or make it go from a linear rate of change to exponential for B, and for D it’s more of a quadratic than a linear. It’s for that same reasoning that I’d hesitate to say A over C: there are other factors other than strictly the number of tickets sold and the number of minutes pre-football game. C, with the grapes, on the other hand, is a linear one that will always changeable depending on weight of the grapes.

a) the cost of a bunch of grapes compared with its weight

WHAT IS X³-27 SIMPLIFIED

Answers

Answer:

It is (x - 3)³ - 9x(3 - x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Express 27 in terms of cubes, 27 = 3³:

[tex] = {x}^{3} - {3}^{3} [/tex]

From trinomial expansion:

[tex] {(x - y)}^{3} = (x - y)(x - y)(x - y) \\ [/tex]

open first two brackets to get a quadratic equation:

[tex] {(x - y)}^{3} = ( {x}^{2} - 2xy + {y}^{2} )(x - y)[/tex]

expand further:

[tex] {(x - y)}^{3} = {x}^{3} - y {x}^{2} - 2y {x}^{2} + 2x {y}^{2} + x {y}^{2} - {y}^{3} \\ {(x - y)}^{3} = {x}^{3} - {y}^{3} + 3x {y}^{2} - 3y {x}^{2} \\ {(x - y)}^{3} = {x}^{3} - {y}^{3} + 3xy(y - x) \\ \\ { \boxed{( {x}^{3} - {y}^{3} ) = {(x - y)}^{3} - 3xy(y - x)}}[/tex]

take y to be 3, then substitute:

[tex]( {x}^{3} - 3^3) = {(x - 3)}^{3} - 9x(3 - x)[/tex]

Suppose you choose a marble from a bag containing 4 red marbles, 2 white marbles, and 3 blue marbles. You return the first marble to the bag and then choose again. Find P(red then blue).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of marbles=9

probability of red=4/9

since you returned the first marble, the total number of marbles remains the same

prob(Blue)=(3/9)=1/3

P(red then blue)=(4/9)*(1/3)

A solid is formed by rotating the region bounded by y = x − x^2 and y = 0 about the line x = 2 . Use the shell method to find the volume of the solid.

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the resulting solid is π/2 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the diagram below.

The shell method is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle V = 2\pi \int _a ^b r(x) h(x)\, dx[/tex]

Where the representative rectangle is parallel to the axis of revolution, r(x) is the distance from the axis of revolution to the center of the rectangle, and h(x) is the height of the rectangle.

From the diagram, we can see that r(x) = (2 - x) and that h(x) is simply y. The limits of integration are from a = 0 to b = 1. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle V = 2\pi \int_0^1\underbrace{\left(2-x\right)}_{r(x)}\underbrace{\left(x - x^2\right)}_{h(x)}\, dx[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} V&= 2\pi \int_0 ^1 \left(2x-2x^2-x^2+x^3\right) \, dx\\ \\ &= 2\pi\int _0^1 x^3 -3x^2 + 2x \, dx \\ \\ &= 2\pi\left(\frac{x^4}{4} - x^3 + x^2 \Bigg|_0^1\right) \\ \\ &= 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{4} - 1 + 1 \right) \\ \\ &= \frac{\pi}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

The volume of the resulting solid is π/2 cubic units.

What is the sum of the geometric sequence 1, 3, 9, ... if there are 10 terms? (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]S_n = \frac{1 (1 - 3^{10})}{1 - 3} = 29524[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a handy formula we can use to find the sum of a geometric sequence, and here it is

[tex]S_n = \frac{a_1 (1 - r^n)}{1 - r}[/tex]

The value n represents the amount of terms you want to sum in the sequence. The variable r is known as the common ratio, and a is just some constant. Let's find those values.

First lets visualize this sequence

[tex]n_1 = 1\\n_2 = 1 + 3\\n_3 = 1 + 3 + 3^2\\n_4=1+3+3^2+3^3\\...[/tex]

Okay so there's clearly a pattern here, let's write it a bit more concisely. For each n, starting at 1, we raise 3 to the (n-1) power, add it to what we had for the previous term.

[tex]S_n = \sum{3^{n-1}} = 3^{1 - 1} + 3^{2 - 1} + 3^{3-1} ...[/tex]

Our coefficients of r, and a, are already here! As you can see below, r is just 3, and a is just 1.

[tex]S_n = \sum{a*r^{n-1}}[/tex]

To finish up lets plug these coefficients in and get our sum after 10 terms.

[tex]S_n = \frac{1 (1 - 3^{10})}{1 - 3} = 29524[/tex]

Suppose that a local TV station conducts a survey of a random sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.

Required:
a. Construct and interpret a 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate.
b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.

Answers

Answer:

a) The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b) The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Sample of 120 registered voters in order to predict the winner of a local election. The Democrat candidate was favored by 62 of the respondents.

So 120 - 62 = 58 favored the Republican candidate, so:

[tex]n = 120, \pi = \frac{58}{120} = 0.4833[/tex]

99% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.3658[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4833 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.4833*0.5167}{120}} = 0.6001[/tex]

The 99% CI for the true proportion of voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001). This means that we are 99% sure that the true population proportion of all voters who prefer the Republican candidate is (0.3658, 0.6001).

b. If a candidate needs a simple majority of the votes to win the election, can the Republican candidate be confident of victory? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.

The upper bound of the confidence interval is above 0.5 = 50%, which meas that the candidate can be confidence of victory.

Add the like terms on each side:

-4x - 46 = -3x + 6

Do the inverse operation of each term:

-x = 52

Now we need to get x to become a positive, so we just divide -x by -1 to get x.

And 52/-1 to get our final answer of -52.

The circle graph above shows the distribution of utility expenses for the Hierra family last year. If the family’s total utility expenses last year were $3,600, what were their expensive go water and sewer.
Water and sewer=X%
Electric=30%
Heating and gas=50%

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - $720 or 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total expense = 3600

Electric=30%

Heating and gas=50%

Water and sewer=X%

Solution:

For electric: 3600*30/100 = 1080

for heating and gas: 3600*50/100 = 1800

Left money for expense of water and shower = total - (electric and heating)

= 3600-1880

= 720

Percentage of water and shower = 720*100/3600

= 20%

The distribution of widgets from a production line is known to be approximately normal with mean 2.7 inches and standard deviation 0.25 inches. About 95% of the distribution lies between what two values?
A. 2.45 inches and 3.2 inches
B. 2.45 inches and 2.95 inches
C. 2.2 inches and 3.2 inches
D. 1.95 inches and 3.45 inches

Answers

Option D is correct. 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.

To get the required range of values, we will have to first get the z-score for the two-tailed probability at a 95% confidence interval. According to the normal table, the required range is between -2.81 and 2.81

The formula for calculating the z-score is expressed as;

[tex]z=\frac{x-\overline x}{s}[/tex] where:

[tex]\overline x[/tex] is the mean

s is the standard deviation

z is the z-scores

Given the following

[tex]\overline x[/tex]=2.7 in

s = 0.25

if z = -2.81

[tex]-2.81=\frac{x-2.7}{0.25}\\x-2.7=-2.81*0.25\\x-2.7=-0.7025\\x=-0.7025+2.7\\x=1.9975[/tex]

Similarly:

[tex]2.81=\frac{x_2-2.7}{0.25}\\x_2-2.7=2.81*0.25\\x_2-2.7=0.7025\\x_2=0.7025+2.7\\x_2=3.4025[/tex]

Hence the 95% of the distribution lies between 1.9975inches and 3.4025inches.
