Answer:

171 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism can be found using the formula V = B*h. Here B is the area of the base which is 18 and h = 9.5.

V = 18*9.5 = 171 cubic inches

Answer:

1a. 2 is the solution

1b. -3 is because square root of 1 doesn't equal -1.

1c.-3

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x + 2 = \sqrt{3x + 10}$

Square both sides

$(x + 2) {}^{2} = 3x + 10$

Remeber perfect square Rule

$(x + y) {}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 2xy + {y}^{2}$

So now we got

$x {}^{2} + 4x + 4 = 3x + 10$

${x}^{2} + x + 4 = 10$

${x}^{2} + x - 6 = 0$

Factor into binomial.

$(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0$

So our solution is 3 or 2. However, let's check our work.

$- 3 + 2 = \sqrt{3( - 3) + 10}$

$- 1 = \sqrt{1}$

However square root of 1 is 1. It could be 1 but in Math, We only take the principal square root which is positive always. So -3 isn't a solution.

So let try 2.

 $2 + 2 = \sqrt{3(2) + 10} = 4 = \sqrt{16} = 4 = 4$ 

So this is indeed the solution.

Make up equation for 2 and 3. Ask me if you need help.

It is possible to score higher than 1600 on the combined mathematics and reading portions of the SAT, but scores 1600 and above

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The proportion of scores reported as 1600 is 0.0032

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the score for 1 random person in SAT combining maths and reading. X has distribution approximately N(μ = 1011,σ = 216).

In order to make computations, we standarize X to obtain a random variable W with distribution approximately N(0,1)

$W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-1011}{216} \simeq N(0,1)$

The values of the cummulative distribution function of the standard Normal random variable, lets denote it $\phi$ are tabulated, you can find those values in the attached file. Now, we are ready to compute the probability of X being bigger than 1600
