Answer:

  -25 dollars per month

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to compute the rate of change using points where the graph crosses grid intersections. A couple of these are ...

  (months, dollars) = (1, 675)  and  (4, 600)

Using the slope formula, we have ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (600 -675)/(4 -1) = -75/3 = -25 . . . . . dollars/month

A school district's superintendent wants to administer a test of life skills to a sample of students. The superintendent has amp
tangare [24]

Answer:

-Convenience Sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Convenience Sampling is a sampling method that is employed simply because the samples are easy to reach or access. It is a non-probability system of sampling and not a very strong method of sampling. For a serious research such as the one being conducted by the Superintendent, who has ample time to perform the research, this is not a very good sampling method. A Convenience style of research would mean that he can just walk into a cafeteria with students and administer the test to them.

Since he has detailed information of the students, he should choose any of the other mentioned sampling techniques in the options provided to randomly select the subjects. <em>This would help to</em> prevent bias, and enable him to make generalizations with the result of the research.

The height, h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by h = −16t2 + 64t + 80, where t is the time in seconds. How long doe
Gwar [14]

Answer:

t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the height h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by :

h=-16t^2+64t+80

Where t is in seconds

We need to find how long does it take the ball to hit the ground? When it hits the ground, its height will be equal to 0. So,

-16t^2+64t+80=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-64\pm \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=\dfrac{-64+ \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16},\dfrac{-64-\sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=-1\ s\ \text{and}\ t=5\ s

Neglecting negative time.

It means ball will take 5 seconds to hit the ground.
