A potential buyer of the breed of snake known as a rattlesnake wishes to find the average weight and length of a full-grown rept

ile. Which of the following is an effective method of collecting a sample of the population?
A.) Measuring the weight and length of 200 rattlesnakes from across the United States
B.) Measuring the weight and length of all rattlesnakes in the United States
C.) Sending a questionnaire to breeders at the nationally recognized Snake Breeders Association of America and asking them for their expert opinion regarding the average weight and length of these snakes
D.) Measuring the weight and length of 10 rattlesnakes found at the local zoo

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously it's impossible for anyone to measure the weight and length of all US rattlesnakes.

Thus, A is correct.  200 is not a large sample compared to millions or billions of rattlesnakes, but is still a lot more reasonable and workable than attempting to measure ALL US rattlesnakes.

Find two additional roots of P(x)=0.<br><br> 13+sqrt 3 and 7i
vova2212 [387]
So, x = 13, x = √3 and x =7i.

now, recall that for an EVEN radical, there are two possible roots, namely is say √3 is say hmmm some value "a", that means that a*a = √3, however, -a*-a is also √3, therefore, ±√3 are two valid values, and therefore -√3 is another one.

now.... keep in mind that, complex solutions or roots, never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so, for 7i or namely 0 + 7i, her sister is always around, 0 - 7i, which is the other root.

Consider the following problem: a box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 feet wide, by cu
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

) See annex

b) See annex

x  =  0,5 ft

y =  2 ft   and

V = 2 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:  See annex

c) V = y*y*x

d-1) y = 3 - 2x

d-2) V = (3-2x)* ( 3-2x)* x   ⇒ V = (3-2x)²*x    

V(x) =( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x    ⇒   V(x) = 9x + 4x³ - 12x²

Taking derivatives

V¨(x) = 9 + 12x² - 24x

V¨(x) = 0              ⇒   12x² -24x +9 = 0     ⇒  4x² - 8x + 3 = 0

Solving for x (second degree equation)

x =[ -b ± √b²- 4ac ] / 2a

we get    x₁  =  1,5       and    x₂ =  0,5

We look at y = 3 - 2x    and see that the value x₂ is the only valid root

then

x  =  0,5 ft

y =    2 ft   and

V = 0,5*2*2

V = 2 ft³

The points A BC :(2, 2,1), :(1,1,3), :(2,0,5) − are the vertices of a right triangle. The radius of the sphere with center at th
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

r=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know the length of each side of the triangle, so we use the formula of the vector modulus:

|AB|= \sqrt{(b_{1}-a_{1})^{2}+(b_{2}-a_{2})^{2}+(b_{3}-a_{3})^{2}

By doing so, we find:

|AB|=\sqrt {6}\\|BC|=\sqrt {6}\\|AC|=2\sqrt {5}

With this we know that the triangle is not right, but, we assume the longest side as the hypotenuse of the problem.

As we have two equal sides, we know that the line between point |AB| and the center of the hypotenuse is perpendicular, therefore, we can calculate it using Pythagoras theorem:

|BC|^{2}=r^{2}+(\frac{|AC|}{2})^{2}\\\\r^{2}=|BC|^{2}-(\frac{|AC|}{2})^{2}\\\\r^{2}=(\sqrt{6})^{2}- (\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{2})^{2}\\\\r^{2}=6-5=1\\r=1
