Answer:

$0.34 per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

A 5 pound box can be changed to ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound. So we have 5 groups of 16.

5 × 16 is 80 ounces.

There are 80 ounces in 5lbs.

To get a price per ounces, divide.

dollars/ounces

= 27.20/80

= 0.34 dollars/oz.

This is 34cents per ounce.

Point r is at 2,1.2 and point t is at 2,2.5 on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is. .

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points lie on the same vertical line (x=2), so the distance between them is the difference of their y-coordinates:

2.5 - 1.2 = 1.3 . . . distance between the points

For the given function f and g, complete parts (a)-(h). For parts (a)-(d), also find the domain.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) (f + g)(x) = 9x + 1

Domain: x ε R

b) (f - g)(x) = (-5x + 13)

Domain: x ε R

c) (f.g)(x) = 14x² + 37x - 42

Domain: x ε R

d) (f/g)(x) = (2x + 7)/(7x -6)

Domain: (x ε R except x = 6/7)

e) (f + g)(7) = 64

f) (f - g)(2) = 3

g) (f.g)(3) = 195

h) (f/g)(x) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x + 7, g(x) = 7x - 6

a) (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (2x + 7) + (7x - 6)

(f + g)(x) = 9x + 1

Since x is defined for functions f & g for all real numbers, the domain of (f + g)(x) is x ε R

b) (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = (2x + 7) - (7x - 6)

(f - g)(x) = (-5x + 13)

Since x is defined for functions f & g for all real numbers, the domain of (f - g)(x) is x ε R

c) (f.g)(x) = f(x) × g(x) = (2x + 7)(7x - 6)

(f.g)(x) = 14x² - 12x + 49x - 42 = 14x² + 37x - 42

Since x is defined for functions f & g for all real numbers, the domain of (f.g)(x) is x ε R

d) (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x) = (2x + 7)/(7x -6)

x is defined for functions f & g for all real numbers, the domain of (f/g)(x) will be x ε R except when the denominator vanishes (that is, goes to zero). This will cause the function to take up values of ∞.

This will happen when 7x - 6 = 0, x = 6/7.

Therefore, the domain of (f/g)(x) is x ε R except the point, x = 6/7.

e) (f + g)(7) = 9(7) + 1 = 64

f) (f - g)(2) = -5(2) + 13 = 3

g) (f.g)(3) = 14(3²) + 37(3) - 42 = 195

h) (f/g)(27) = (2(27) + 7)/(7(27) - 6) = 61/183 = 1/3

Hope this Helps!!!

Andy is solving a quadratic equation using completing the square. If a step in the process results in = (x – 6)2, could the orig

Zarrin [17]

<span>Yes, the equation can be solved by factoring. Using the given equation, take the square root of both sides. Both 169 and 9 are perfect squares, so the left side becomes plus or minus 13/3, which is rational. Six plus 13/3 is a rational number, and 6 minus 13/3 is also a rational number. If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational, then the equation is factorable. </span>

A large school district in southern California asked all of its eighth-graders to measure the length of their right foot at the

Ber [7]

Answer:

The probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23 cm is 0.120

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the information in the problem

- The eighth-graders asked to measure the length of their right foot at

the beginning of the school year, as part of a science project

- The foot length is approximately Normally distributed, with a mean of

23.4 cm

∴ μ = 23.4 cm

- The standard deviation of 1.7

∴ σ = 1.7 cm

- 25 eighth-graders from this population are randomly selected

∴ n = 25

- To find the probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23

∴ The sample mean x = 23, find the standard deviation σx

- The rule to find σx is σx = σ/√n

∵ σ = 1.7 and n = 25

∴ σx = 1.7/√25 = 1.7/5 = 0.34

- Now lets find the z-score using the rule z-score = (x - μ)/σx

∵ x = 23 , μ = 23.4 , σx = 0.34

∴ z-score = (23 - 23.4)/0.34 = -1.17647 ≅ -1.18

- Use the table of the normal distribution to find P(x < 23)

- We will search in the raw of -1.1 and look to the column of 0.08

∴ P(X < 23) = 0.119 ≅ 0.120

* The probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23 cm is 0.120

Factor x^2-5x-24 i need help to figure this out

Mrac [35]

Answer:

(x-8)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?

2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?

In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.

Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that

8+ −3=5

which is one of the factors of -24.

This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:

(x−3)(x+8)

Hope this helped!
