Try this solution/explanation:

way 1:

rule: for an equation where no roots P+Q=0. It means, Px-Qx=0, ⇔ x(P-Q)=0, ⇔ P=Q.

for answer 'D' P=Q=15.

way 2:

rule: if an equation of the line has a form y=kx+b, then y₁||y₂ if k₁=k₂. It means, for y₁=Px-45 || y₂=Qx+75, then P=Q. P=Q, if 'D' answer.

Answer: D

Which of the following are vertical asymptotes of the function y = 2cot(3x) + 4? Check all that apply. A.x = pi/3 B.x = +/- pi/2

Kisachek [45]

Vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator of a rational is 0, whilst not zeroing out the numerator, making the rational, undefined, in this case

$\bf y=2cot(3x)+4\implies y=2\cdot \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(3x)}+4\impliedby \textit{if \underline{sin(3x)} turns to 0}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{let's check}
\\\\\\
A)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3\frac{\pi }{3} \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( \pi \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined$

$\bf B)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3\frac{\pm\pi }{2} \right)}\implies\cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( \frac{\pm3\pi }{2} \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{\pm 1}\implies \pm cos(3x)
\\\\\\
C)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3(2\pi )\right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(6\pi )}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined
\\\\\\
D)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(3(0))}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(0)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined$

Smoothing a time series of observations A. is a form of statistical cheating. B. allows statisticians to use less data than woul

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

D. is used to reveal an underlying pattern in the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Smoothing a time series is achieved when a computer uses some pre-programmed calculation methods to remove noise from large volumes of data. Smoothing helps a user detect patterns in a set of data, thus making it possible to make future predictions. For example, smoothing can be used in the prediction of the rise and fall of stock prices. This helps the traders to have an idea of what to expect in the cost of trading.

Although smoothing reveals the patterns in a set of data, it provides no explanation as to why it is so. It is left to the researcher to draw conclusions as to the reasons for the patterns.

Omar has 2 3/4 cup of Joe to make dumplings. If he uses 3/16 cup of Joe for each dumpling how many whole dumplings can Omar make

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

44/3 or 14 and 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 2 and 3/4 in a improper fraction which gives you 11/4.

Next, you divide 11/4 and 3/16.

It will give you 44/3 which can be 14 and 2/3.
