The list of the buildings arranged in the order from shortest to tallest

Marina 101
The Wuhan Center
The Zifeng Tower
The Shanghai tower

The heights in feet shows that

2072 feet(is the tallest) > 1,476 feet > 1,437 feet > 1400 feet (is the least)

<h3>How to arrange the buildings from shortest to tallest</h3>

Given that the z scores are 127 for The Shanghai tower and -0.84 for Marina

z score = (X - mean) / standard deviation

X = z score * standard deviation + mean

The Shanghai tower

= 1.27 * 318.31 + 1667.25 = 2071.5037 feet

Marina 101

= -0.84 * 318.31 + 1667.25 = 1399.8696 feet

The Zifeng Tower

= 1,476 feet

The Wuhan Center

= 1,437 feet

comparing the heights

2072 feet > 1,476 feet > 1,437 feet > 1400 feet

2 (Picture) CONVERGENT AND DIVERGENT SERIES PLEASE HELP!!

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

This series is divergent

F

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a series

Firstly, we will find nth term

Numerator:

3, 4, 5,...

so, nth term will be

$a_n=n+3$

Denominator:

4,5,6,....

so, nth term will be

$b_n=n+4$

so, we can find it's nth term as

$c_n=\frac{n+3}{n+4}$

we can use divergent test

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n=\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n+3}{n+4}$

we can divide top and bottom by n

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n= \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n/n+3/n}{n/n+4/n}$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n= \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1+3/n}{1+4/n}$

now, we can plug n=inf

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n= \frac{1+0}{1+0}$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} c_n=1$

Since, it is non-zero value

so, this series is divergent

mixer [17]

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

These are given:

Total = 22

Cost for shoes = 4

Total games played = 2

Cost per game (g)= ?

So,

22 = 4 + 2(g)

-4 -4

18 = 2g

divide by 2

9 = g

$9 per game

a) Everyone on the team talks until the entire team agrees on one decision. O b) Everyone on the team discusses options and then

insens350 [35]

Answer:

a) Everyone on the team talks until the entire team agrees on one decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B consists of voting and not everyone would like the outcome. Option C is making an outsider the decision maker, which can't be helpful since he / she won't have as strong opinions as the team itself. Option D is just plain wrong as it defeats the purpose of team work and deciding as one team. So, I believe option A makes the most sense

Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. In 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. How

mylen [45]

Answer:

5.5 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D represent present age of Robert's dog and C represent present age of Karen's cat.

We have been given that Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D=C+4...(1)$

We are also told that in 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. After 3 years age of dog and cat would be $D+3$ and $C+3$ respectively.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D+3+C+3=13...(2)$

From equation (1), we will get:

$C=D-4$

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

$D+3+D-4+3=13$

Combine like terms:

$2D+2=13$

$2D+2-2=13-2$

$2D=11$

$\frac{2D}{2}=\frac{11}{2}$

$D=5.5$

Therefore, Robert's dog is 5.5 years old right now.
