Answer:

74°F

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the average of a certain amount of numbers, you add those numbers together and divide by how many numbers there are. In this case, you would reverse that method to find the last number. We know that there were four readings, and we have three of them and the average. Multiply the average (84.75) by the number of readings (4), and you get the sum of all the readings (339). Then you subtract each of the readings that you already know to isolate the last reading. 339 - 112 (first reading) = 227, 227 - 68 (second reading) = 159, and 159 - 85 (fourth reading) = 74. Therefore, the third reading must be 74.

In a triangle, the midline joining the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third side and half as long

2(5x+2) = 3x + 32
10x + 4 = 3x + 32
10x - 3x = 32 - 4
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4

The length of the midsegment = 5x+2 = 5·4 + 2 = 22

4. The reflecting dish of a parabolic microphone has a cross-section in the shape of a parabola. The microphone itself is placed
elixir [45]
Assume the parabola is placed on a graph where the x-axis is the top of the dish.
The vertex is then at (0,-30)  The x-intercepts or zeros are at (-30,0) and (30,0)

The equation of such parabola would be:
y = a(x+30)(x-30)
Plug in vertex to find value of 'a'
-30 = a(0+30)(0-30) \\  \\ a = \frac{-30}{(-30)(30)} = \frac{1}{30}

Now find the focus given that p = \frac{1}{4a}
p = \frac{1}{4(1/30)} = \frac{30}{4} = 7.5

Answer: the microphone should be placed 7.5 inches from vertex.

3.2] I can rearrange formulas to solve for a specified variable.<br><br> Solve for r.<br> h=r-m
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

r = h + m

Step-by-step explanation:

h = r - m

Switch sides.

r - m = h

Add m to both sides.

r - m + m = h + m

Simplify the left side. -m + m = 0

r = h + m
