Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

so, we know in our case

b(b+12) = 189 cm²

b² + 12b - 189 = 0

let's try to solve this by completing the square.

that means we try to find the expression

(b + k)² + c

that is equal to

b² + 12b - 189

(b + k)² + c = b² + 2kb + k² + c = b² + 12b - 189

so,

2k = 12

k = 6

and then

k² + c = -189

6² + c = -189

36 + c = -189

c = -225

(b + 6)² - 225 = 0

(b + 6)² = 225

b + 6 = 15

b = 9

so, the baseline b = 9 cm.

the height b+12 = 9+12 = 21 cm.

Select the correct answer. Which equation matches the function shown in the graph?​
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

B) y=sin(x+\frac{\pi}{2})

Step-by-step explanation:

Technically, since the function starts at its maximum, you could say the function is y=cos(x), but the answer choices all use sine instead. Therefore, we will have to use the cofunction identity cos(x)=sin(x+\frac{\pi}{2}) and we can see that the correct answer is B.

A sample of weights of defensive tackles on Big 10 football teams are: Johnson, 202 pounds; Patrick, 215 pounds; Junior, 207 pou
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

the sample standard deviation is 4.926 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

the sample standard deviation s is defined as

s =√[ 1/(n-1) ∑ ( x- m)²]  for x=1 to x=n

where

n= sample size = 10

x= weights of defensive tackles

m= sample mean

m= 1/n ∑ x*  for x=1 to x=n

then

m= 1/10 (202 + 215... +208) = 209.66 pounds

thus

s =√[ 1/(10-1) ∑ ( x- m)²] = √[ 1/(10-1) [ ( 202 - 209.66 )² + ( 215 - 209.66 )² +  ( 28 - 209.66 )² ] ] = 4.926 pounds

then the sample standard deviation is 4.926 pounds

What’s an injective function?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

an Injective function is a function that maps distinct elements of its domain to distinct elements of its codomain. In other words, every element of the function's codomain is the image of at most one element of its domain.

The probability of getting a 4- bedroom home with a open porch based off the table.
AleksandrR [38]
All you have to do is multiply 1/3 (the chance of getting a 4 bedroom home) times 1/2 (the chance of getting an open porch). The answer is a 1/6 chance, as you don’t have to do anything with the kitchens because the question doesn’t specify to.

Hope this helps!
