Students in Mrs. Burn's science class used scales to measure the mass, in grams, of a solid. The mass of
the solid was reported as 5.7 grams, 5.8 grams, 6.2 grams, 5.9 grams, and 6.0 grams. Of the following,
which measure would best estimate the true mass of the solid?
minimum
maximum
mode
mean

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the mean, or the average, of the different weights that were measured, would best estimate the true mass of the solid.

This would find the average mass, which would be the most accurate estimate of the solid's actual mass.

Using the minimum, maximum, and mode will not take into account the other weights that were measured. This makes it much more inaccurate.

So, the correct answer is Mean.

Find
f(g(x)) = [? ]x2 + [ ]+х

Answers

Answer:

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 +12x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(x)) means you replace the x in f(x) with g(x), which is 3x + 1:

(3x+1)^2 + 2(3x+1) - 4

then expand and simplify:

(3x+1)(3x+1) + 6x+2 - 4

9x^2+6x+1 + 6x+2 - 4

and then collect all like terms:

9x^2

6x + 6x = 12x

logb(3) = 0.5646, logb(4) = 0.7124, and logb(5) = 0.8271

logb(5/3)

We know that logx ( y/z) = logx (y) - logz (z)

logb ( 5) - logb(3)

0.8271 - 0.5646

Answers

Answer:

Another example of a number who's square root is greater than the number is  [tex]\sqrt{0.49}[/tex] which is 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This square root is larger than the number because it is a decimal. When you multiply a decimal by a decimal, the decimal point becomes greater. For example: 0.7 multiplied by 0.7 equals 0.49 which has 2 decimal places, while 0.7 only has one.

ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answers

Answer:

B) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there's a square between the 2 angles, that means these angles are complementary (angles that add up to 90°). So:

5x - 9 + 6x = 90

11x - 9 = 90

11x = 90 + 9

11x = 99

x = 9

Answer:

B.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to solve this is by noticing that these angles are complementary(they add up to 90 degrees). So you add the equations together and equal them to 90. 5x-9+6x=90.Then you solve to find that x=9.

A car travelling at v kilometers per hour will need a stopping distance, d, in meters without skidding that can be modelled by the function d=0.0067v2+0.15v. Determine the speed at which a car can be travelling to be able to stop within 37m.

I’m need of serious help!

Answers

Answer:

v =  14 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 0.0067[tex]v^{2}[/tex] + 0.15v

differentiate the function with respect to v to have;

d = 0.0134v - 0.15

given that the distance without skidding = 37 m (0.037 km) , then;

0.037 = 0.0134v - 0.15

0.0134v = 0.037 + 0.15

             = 0.187

v = [tex]\frac{0.187}{0.0134}[/tex]

  = 13.9552

v =  14 km/h

The speed of the car travelling would be 14 km/h to be able to stop within 37m.

George has opened a new store and he is monitoring its success closely. He has found that this store’s revenue each month can be modeled by r(x)=x2+6x+10 where x represents the number of months since the store opens the doors and r(x) is measured in hundreds of dollars. He has also found that his expenses each month can be modeled by c(x)=x2−4x+5 where x represents the number of months the store has been open and c(x) is measured in hundreds of dollars. What does (r−c)(4) mean about George's new store?

Answers

Answer:

(r - c)(4), is the profit made in George's new store after 4 months which is $4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters for George's store are;

The amount of revenue George makes each month, r(x) = x² + 6·x + 10

The expenses each month, c(x) = x² - 4·x + 5

Where;

x = The number of months the store has opened the doors

r(x) and c(x) are measured in hundreds of dollars

The amount of profit from the store, P = Revenue - Expenses

Therefore, the profit made on a given month, x, is P(x), which is found as follows;

P(x) = r(x) - c(x) = (r - c)(x)

Therefore, (r - c)(4) = P(4), is the profit realized from George's new store, after 4 months

(r - c)(4) = 4² + 6·4 + 10 - (4² - 4·4 + 5) = 45

Answer:

The new store will have a profit of $4500 after its fourth month in business.

Find the discernment and the numbers of the number of real roots for this equation.
x^2+3x+8=0

Answers

Answer:  2 distinct complex solutions (ie non real solutions).

Work Shown:

The given equation is in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0, so

a = 1, b = 3, c = 8

Plug those into the formula below to find the discriminant

D = b^2 - 4ac

D = 3^2 - 4(1)(8)

D = -23

The discriminant is negative, so we get two nonreal solutions. The two solutions are complex numbers in the form a+bi, where a & b are real numbers and [tex]i = \sqrt{-1}[/tex]. The two solutions are different from one another.

Answer:

Discriminant: -23

Number of real roots: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In [tex]x^2+3x+8[/tex], assign:

[tex]a\implies 1[/tex] [tex]b\implies 3[/tex] [tex]c\implies 8[/tex]  

The discriminant is therefore:

[tex]3^2-4(1)(8)=9-32=\boxed{-23}[/tex]

For any quadratic:

If the discriminant is greater than 0, the quadratic has two real rootsIf the discriminant is equal to 0, the quadratic has one real rootIf the discriminant is less than 0, the quadratic as no real roots

Since the quadratic in the question has a discriminant less than 0, there are no real solutions to this quadratic.
