8 0

Answer:

She is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean score is

7 + 8 + 3 + 0 + 2= 20

We then divide it by the number which is 5

20/5= 4.

Therefore, Maria is wrong.

This is because she divided by 4 instead of 5, as she didn't include the rational number 0.

Find a parametrization of the line in which the planes x + y + z = -6 and y + z = -8 intersect.
rewona [7]

Answer:

L(x,y) = (2,-8,0) + (0,-1,1)*t

Step-by-step explanation:

for the planes

x + y + z = -6  and y + z = -8

the intersection can be found subtracting the equation of the planes

x + y + z - ( y + z ) = -6 - (-8)

x= 2

therefore

x=2

z=z

y= -8 - z

using z as parameter t and the point (2,-8,0) as reference point , then

x= 2

y= -8 - t

z= 0 + t

another way of writing it is

L(x,y) = (2,-8,0) + (0,-1,1)*t

For the composite function, identify an inside function and an outside function and write the derivative with respect to x of th
alexira [117]

Answer:

The inner function is h(x)=4x^2 + 8 and the outer function is g(x)=3x^5.

The derivative of the function is \frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4.

Step-by-step explanation:

A composite function can be written as g(h(x)), where h and g are basic functions.

For the function f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5.

The inner function is the part we evaluate first. Frequently, we can identify the correct expression because it will appear within a grouping symbol one or more times in our composed function.

Here, we have 4x^2+8 inside parentheses. So h(x)=4x^2 + 8 is the inner function and the outer function is g(x)=3x^5.

The chain rule says:

\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))g'(x)

It tells us how to differentiate composite functions.

The function f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5 is the composition, g(h(x)), of

     outside function: g(x)=3x^5

     inside function: h(x)=4x^2 + 8

The derivative of this is computed as

\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=3\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:chain\:rule}:\quad \frac{df\left(u\right)}{dx}=\frac{df}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx}\\f=u^5,\:\:u=\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\frac{d}{du}\left(u^5\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\cdot \:5\left(4x^2+8\right)^4\cdot \:8x\\\\120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4

The derivative of the function is \frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4.

86° 34° Х X = ____ degrees help quick pls​
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles all have to add up to 180, so you can do

34 + 86 +x = 180\\120 + x = 180\\x = 60
