Malcolm says that 8/11 is greater than 7/10 because eight is greater than seven and 11 is greater than 10 discuss Malcolm's reas

oning. Even though it is true that 8/11 is greater than 7/10 is Malcolm's reasoning correct? If Malcolm's reasoning is correct, clearly explain why. If Malcolm's reasoning is not correct, give Malcolm two examples that sure why not.

Answer:

8/11 = 0.727272727272727272727272727272727272727272727272727272727

where as

7/10 = 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

8/11 is 0.72.... whereas 7/10 = 0.7 thus Malcolm was correct

List L consists of numbers 1, square root of 2, x, and x^2 , where x>0, and the range of the numbers in list L is 4. Which qu
Hitman42 [59]
If the range of the numbers in the list L is 4, then x can't be 4 since there is an element in the list that is x^2. Therefore,
0 ≤ x^2 ≤ 4 so that it would be the highest number and
0 ≤x ≤ 2

So, the value of x can be equal to 2 but not higher. So, 2 is always greater or equal to x.

Plz help <br> Draw the following triangle after a counterclockwise rotation about the origin.
Scorpion4ik [409]
You have to swap to (x,y) to (y,x) and make the y negative so it would be (-y,x) and since it’s counterclockwise it would be in the 4th quadrant

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (-8, -1) and a directrix at y = − 4.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabola which opens upwards.

The distance of a point (x, y)  from the focus is

√[(x -  -8)^2  + (y - -1)^2] and

the distance of the point from the line y = -4

= y - -4

These distances are equal for a parabola so:

√[(x -  -8)^2  + (y - -1)^2] = y + 4

Squaring both sides:

(x + 8)^2 + (y + 1)^2  = (y + 4)^2

x^2 + 16x + 64 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = y^2 + 8y + 16

x^2 + 16x + 64 + 1 - 16 = 8y - 2y

6y = x^2 + 16x + 49

y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6 is the equation of the parabola.

How are average I.Q.s related to normal distributions?
Flauer [41]

In USA the average I.Q. is 98 while the top one average I.Q. country is Hong Kong.

But the I.Q. distribution is given by a polinomial graph, few people with extremely low I.Q. 40~70, a lot between 70~100, some between 100~120, few between 120~140 and extremely low 140+

Gulf gully and jump rope road are a pretty far distance.If the scale for the map is 0.5 inches=2.3 miles,what is the actual dist
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

12 cm = 21.62 miles

6 cm = 11.04 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of \frac{map}{real world} and simplify.

We know \frac{map}{real world}=\frac{0.5in}{2.3 miles}. We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write \frac{4.7in}{xmiles} and  \frac{2.4in}{xmiles}

We set them equal.

\frac{0.5}{2.3}=\frac{4.7}{x}

and

\frac{0.5}{2.3}=\frac{2.4}{x}

To solve each proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

2.3(4.7)=0.5(x)\\10.81=0.5x\\\frac{10.81}{0.5}=\frac{0.5x}{0.5} \\21.62 miles=x

and

2.3(2.4)=0.5(x)\\5.52=0.5x\\\frac{5.52}{0.5}=\frac{0.5x}{0.5} \\11.04 miles=x
