A running back is having a great day on the football field. It’s only the third quarter, and he’s already rushed for 203 yards.

He’s close to breaking his previous record of 229 rushing yards in a game. How many yards does he need to gain during the rest of the game to break his record?

Answer:

He needs to gain more than 26 yards in order to break his record

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y stand for the number of yards he’ll have to gain. The sum of y plus the number of yards he already has (203) must be greater than 229 in order for him to break the record.

203 + y > 229 Set up the inequality.

203 − 203 + y > 229 − 203 Subtract 203 from both sides of the inequality.

y > 26

Answer:

Option D, $10x^4\sqrt{6} +x^3\sqrt{30x} -10x^4\sqrt{3} -x^3\sqrt{15x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Multiply</u>

<u /> $(\sqrt{10x^4} -x\sqrt{5x^2} )*(2\sqrt{15x^4} + \sqrt{3x^3})\\ (\sqrt{10 * x^2 * x^2} -x\sqrt{5 * x^2} ) * (2\sqrt{15 * x^2 * x^2} +\sqrt{3 * x^2 * x})\\(x^2\sqrt{10} -x^2\sqrt{5} )*(2x^2\sqrt{15} +x\sqrt{3x}) \\\\$

$(x^2\sqrt{10}*2x^2\sqrt{15} )+(x^2\sqrt{10}*x\sqrt{3x} ) + (-x^2\sqrt{5} *2x^2\sqrt{15}) + (-x^2\sqrt{5} *x\sqrt{3x}$

$(2x^4\sqrt{150} ) + (x^3\sqrt{30x}) + (-2x^4\sqrt{75}) + (-x^3\sqrt{15x} )$

$2x^4\sqrt{5^2*6} + x^3\sqrt{30x} -2x^4\sqrt{5^2*3} -x^3\sqrt{15x}$

$10x^4\sqrt{6} +x^3\sqrt{30x} -10x^4\sqrt{3} -x^3\sqrt{15x}$

Answer: Option D, $10x^4\sqrt{6} +x^3\sqrt{30x} -10x^4\sqrt{3} -x^3\sqrt{15x}$

Jessica, Lauren and Kimmie were paid a total of $120 for babysitting in a ratio of 2:3:5. How much less did Jessica make than Ki

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> amount paid to Jessica

y ----> amount paid to Lauren

z ----> amount paid to Kimmie

we know that

$x+y+z=120$ ------> equation A

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=\frac{2}{3}y$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{5}$

$z=\frac{5}{3}y$ -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y

$\frac{2}{3}y+y+\frac{5}{3}y=120$

$\frac{10}{3}y=120$

$y=120(3)/10$

$y=36$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

$x=\frac{2}{3}(36)=24$

<em>Find the value of z</em>

$z=\frac{5}{3}(36)=60$

therefore

The amount paid to Jessica was $24

The amount paid to Lauren was $36

The amount paid to Kimmie was $60

To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.

$\$60-\$24=\$36$

therefore

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie

Newborn males have weights with a mean of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation of 660.2 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean

Maksim231197 [3]

The correct option is: a female who weighs 1500 g

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

<u>Formula for finding the z-score</u> is: $z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

Newborn males have weights with a mean $(\mu)$ of 3272.8 g and a standard deviation $(\sigma)$ of 660.2 g.

So, the z-score for the newborn male who weighs 1500 g will be.......

$z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3272.8}{660.2}=-2.685... \approx -2.69$

According to the normal distribution table, $P(z=-2.69)=0.0036 = 0.36\%$

Now, newborn females have weights with a mean $(\mu)$ of 3037.1 g and a standard deviation $(\sigma)$ of 706.3 g.

So, the z-score for the newborn female who weighs 1500 g will be.......

$z(X=1500)=\frac{1500-3037.1}{706.3}=-2.176... \approx -2.18$

According to the normal distribution table, $P(z=-2.18)=0.0146 = 1.46\%$

As we can see that the <u>probability that a newborn female has weight of 1500 g is greater than newborn male</u>, so a newborn female has the weight of 1500 g that is more extreme relative to the group from which he came.

Point M is the midpoint of AB . Through point M a line segment XY is drawn, so that both XA and YB are perpendicular to AB . Pro

GaryK [48]

Answer:

See the proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line AB be a straight line on the parallelogram.

A dissection of the line (using the perpendicular line X) gives:

AY ≅ BX

Another way will be using the angles.

The angles are equal - vertically opposite angles

Hence the line AY ≅ BX (Proved)
