Cindy cut a 17 3/4 rope into piece's.How many 4-ft long piece's can CIndy cut from the rope?

1 answer:

3 0

What unit of measurement is the 17 3/4?
If its feet it would be 4
This is because if you divide 17 3/4 you’ll get 4 with a remainder of 1 and 3/4

Which expression is a sum of cubes?

erik [133]

we know that

A polynomial in the form $a^{3} +b^{3}$ is called a sum of cubes

Let's verify each case to determine the solution

case A) $-64x^{6} y^{12} +125x^{16} y^{3}$

we know that

$-64=-4^{3}$

$x^{6}= (x^{2})^{3}$

$y^{12}= (y^{4})^{3}$

$125=5^{3}$

$x^{16}=x^{15} *x=x*(x^{5})^{3}$ -------> is not a perfect cube

$y^{3}= (y)^{3}$

therefore

the case A) is not a sum of cubes

case B) $-32x^{6} y^{12} +125x^{16} y^{3}$

we know that

$-32=-2^{5}$ -------> is not a perfect cube

$x^{6}= (x^{2})^{3}$

$y^{12}= (y^{4})^{3}$

$125=5^{3}$

$x^{16}=x^{15} *x=x*(x^{5})^{3}$ -------> is not a perfect cube

$y^{3}= (y)^{3}$

therefore

the case B) is not a sum of cubes

case C) $32x^{6} y^{12} +125x^{9} y^{3}$

we know that

$32=2^{5}$ -------> is not a perfect cube

$x^{6}= (x^{2})^{3}$

$y^{12}= (y^{4})^{3}$

$125=5^{3}$

$x^{9}=(x^{3})^{3}$

$y^{3}= (y)^{3}$

therefore

the case C) is not a sum of cubes

case A) $64x^{6} y^{12} +125x^{9} y^{3}$

we know that

$64=4^{3}$

$x^{6}= (x^{2})^{3}$

$y^{12}= (y^{4})^{3}$

$125=5^{3}$

$x^{9}=(x^{3})^{3}$

$y^{3}= (y)^{3}$

Substitute

$4^{3}(x^{2})^{3}(y^{4})^{3} +5^{3}(x^{3})^{3}(y)^{3}$

$(4x^{2}y^{4})^{3} +(5x^{3}y)^{3}$

therefore

the answer is

$64x^{6} y^{12} +125x^{9} y^{3}$ is a sum of cubes

2(x+3)=2x+6 name the property

maria [59]

Distributive property. You distribute the 2 to the X and get 2x, then distribute the 2 and the 3. 2X3=6. This gets you 2x+6.

Suppose the weights of tight ends in a football league are normally distributed such that σ2=400. A sample of 11 tight ends was

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$217.636-1.96\frac{20}{\sqrt{11}}=205.817$

$217.636+1.96\frac{20}{\sqrt{11}}=229.455$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (205.82;229.46)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following data: Weight 150 169 170 196 200 218 219 262 269 270 271

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma= \sqrt{400}= 20$ represent the population standard deviation

n=11 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean we can use the following formula:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=217.636$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$
