Answer:

$-1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $y=3x^2+9x$ . We are asked to find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola for our given equation.

We will use formula $\frac{-b}{2a}$ to finc the x-coordinate of vertex of given parabola.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

$\frac{-9}{2*3}$

$\frac{-3*3}{2*3}$

$\frac{-3}{2}$

$-1.5$

Therefore, the x-coordinate of vertex of given parabola is $-1.5$ .

A circle has the equation x2 + (y−7)2 = 121. What is the length of the diameter of the circle?

Reika [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for an equation of a circle is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ , where h is the x coordinate of the center of the circle, k is the y coordinate, and r is the radius of the circle. Therefore, the radius of this circle squared is 121, meaning that the radius of the circle is 11. Since the diameter of a circle is twice the radius, the radius of this circle is 22. Hope this helps!

X/5 -8=4 find the value of x

elena-s [515]

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant this: (x/5)-8=4

In which case you would add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the left (your goal is to get x by itself so you want to move the numbers on the x side to the other side of the equal sign)

(x/5)=12

Then you would multiply 5 on both sides to get rid of the fraction with the 5 on the bottom on the left side.

x=60

There's your answer.

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. Find the pro

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

0.0326 = 3.26% probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads between −2.23 and −1.69.

The sketch is drawn at the end.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C.

This means that $\mu = 0, \sigma = 1$
