r plus $30 for supplies. The equations give the total cost for x hours of work for each painter. For how many hours of work are Otis's and Shireen's costs equal? What is the cost for this number of hours? Y= 45x + 75 - Otis Y= 55x + 30 - Shireen​

Step-by-step explanation:

you should only make one equation:

75 + 45x = 30 + 55x

subtract the 30 frim both sides, then subtract 45x from both sides. you are left with:

45 = 10x

Divide by 10 and get:

4.5 = x

After 4.5 hours, the cost is equal for either worker.

Answer:

The cost will be equal at 4.5 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Otis paints the interior of a home for $45 per hour plus $ 75. Shireen paints the interior of a home for $ 55 per hour plus $30.

The total cost Y of Otis and Shireen's  for x hours are

Y= 45x + 75

Y= 55x + 30

For the cost to be equal

45x + 75  =  55x + 30

collect like terms

75 - 30 = 55x - 45x

45 = 10x

divide both sides by 10

x = 45/10

x = 4.5 hrs

The cost will be equal at 4.5 hrs

Explain why the graph of quadratic function could not contain both a minimum vertex and a maximum vertex at the same time.
KonstantinChe [14]
A quadratic function is a function of the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c. The vertex, (h,k) of a quadratic function is determined by the formula: h= \frac{-b}{2a} and k=f(h); where h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex. The value of a determines if the <span>parabola opens upward or downward; if</span>a is positive, the parabola<span> opens upward and the vertex is the minimum value, but if </span>a is negative <span>the graph opens downward and the vertex is the maximum value. Since the quadratic function only has one vertex, it </span><span>could not contain both a minimum vertex and a maximum vertex at the same time.</span>

Fred and Ted are interested in the average height of NC State students. They randomly sample students from NC State and construc
Nataly [62]

Answer:

a. Fred's margin of error is larger than Ted's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error of a confidence interval:

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level(the higher the confidence level the larger the value of z) \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From this, we have that:

A higher confidence level leads to a larger margin of error.

A larger sample size leads to a smaller margin of error.

In this question:

Same confidence level.

Fred's sample is smaller, so his margin of error will be larger.

The correct answer is given by option a.
