Answer: 5x = 12 + 3

5x = 15 (divide both sides by 5 to get x)

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x/5 = 15/5\\x = 3$

Answer:

X = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5X - 3 = 12

add 3 to both sides of the equal sign

5X = 15

divide 5 to both sides of the equal sign

X = 3

Birth Weights Babies born after a gestation period of 32-35 weeks have a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 6

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The z-score for the 34-week gestation period baby is 0.61

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

We are told in the question that:

Babies born after a gestation period of 32-35 weeks have a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 660 grams. Also, we are supposing a 34-week gestation period baby weighs 3000grams

The z-score for the 34-week gestation period baby is calculated as:

z = (x-μ)/σ

x = 3000, μ = 2600 σ = 660

z = 3000 - 2600/660

= 400/660

=0.6060606061

Approximately, ≈ 0.61

Statements that are true for a cylinder with radius r and height h.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Only the second and third statements are correct:

Doubling r quadruples the volume.

Doubling h doubles the volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

$\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h$

We can go through each statement and examine its validity.

Statement 1)

If the radius is doubled, our new radius is now 2r. Hence, our volume is:

$\displaystyle V=\pi (2r)^2h=4\pi r^2h$

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is quadrupled the original volume.

Statement 1 is not correct.

Statement 2)

Using the previous reasonsing, Statement 2 is correct.

Statement 3)

If the height is doubled, our new height is now 2h. Hence, our volume is:

$V=\pi r^2(2h)=2\pi r^2h$

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume has been doubled.

Statement 3 is correct.

Statement 4)

Statement 4 is not correct using the previous reasonsing.

Statement 5)

Doubling the radius results in 2r and doubling the height results in 2h. Hence, the new volume is:

$V=\pi (2r)^2(2h)=\pi (4r^2)(2h)=8\pi r^2h$

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is increased by eight-fold.

Statement 5 is not correct.

Which trigonometric functions are negative in the fourth (IV) quadrant?

anzhelika [568]

<h3>Answers are: sine, tangent, cosecant, cotangent</h3>

Explanation:

On the unit circle we have some point (x,y) such that x = cos(theta) and y = sin(theta). The sine corresponds to the y coordinate of the point on the circle. Quadrant IV is below the x axis which explains why sine is negative here, since y < 0 here.

Since sine is negative, so is cosecant as this is the reciprocal of sine

csc = 1/sin

In quadrant IV, cosine is positive as x > 0 here. So the ratio tan = sin/cos is going to be negative. We have a negative over a positive when we divide.

Because tangent is negative, so is cotangent.

The only positive functions in Q4 are cosine and secant, which is because sec = 1/cos.
