Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to create and algebraic equation for when Jill's weight will be equal to Paris's. If we take their current weight and then add the additional weight gain per month times the number of months, we can calculate the amount of time it will take for their weight to be equal by solving for m.

120+10m=150+4m\\10m-4m=150-120\\6m=30\\m=5

A company’s stock was selling at $25 a share a month later it was selling at $30 a share what is the percent increase
rjkz [21]

Answer:

20% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, you can divide the increase value by the original: 30/25 = 1.2 --> 120%. Next, since they ask for the percent of increase, you can subtract 1 or 100% from your answer which would give you a final answer of 20% increase.

The equation of the parabola is (y-1)^2 = 16(x+3)
Mandarinka [93]
We know that 

if  the y terms is squared so it opens left or right

Is a Horizontal Parabola, the equation is of the form
(y-k)²=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and
p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directrix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and directrix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directrix is to the right of vertex

so
(y-1)²=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so directrix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directrix is x=-7

the answer is
x=-7

see the attached figure

The standard deviation of a sample taken from population A is 17.6 for a sample of 25.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the sample mean differences is _5.23_

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of a population A and a sample of a population B.

For the sample of population A, the standard deviation \sigma_A is

\sigma_A = 17.6

The sample size n_A is:

n_A = 25.

For the sample of population B, the standard deviation \sigma_B is

\sigma_B = 21.2

The sample size n_B is:

n_B = 30.

Then the standard deviation for the difference of means has the following form:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_A^2}{n_A}+\frac{\sigma_B^2}{n_B}}

Finally

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{17.6^2}{25}+\frac{21.2^2}{30}}\\\\\sigma= 5.23
