true because two to the second power is two times two and we know two times two = 4

This is false!

X^2 = 4
X can equal to -2 or 2

(2)^2 = 4
(-2)^2 = 4

A box of cereal contains 23.4 ounces. It costs $5.49. What is the cost to the nearest cent of the cereal per ounce

cestrela7 [59]

So in a proportion 23.4 over 5.49 equals 1 over o and multiply 5.49•1=23.4o
5.49=23.4o divide by 23.4 on both sides and that equals 4.26 per oz

A baseball is hit and its height is given by h = 29.4t – 4. 9t^2, where h is the

ioda

Answer:

44.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a quadratic function which represents the height and time of a baseball

$\displaystyle h = 29.4t - 4.9 {t}^{2}$

we want to figure out maximum height of

the baseball

since the given function is a quadratic function so we have a parabola

which means figuring out the maximum height is the same thing as figuring out the maximum y coordinate (vertex)

to do so we can use some special formulas

recall that,

$\displaystyle \rm t= \frac{ - b}{ 2a}$

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=f(t)$

notice that, our given function is not in standard form i.e

$\displaystyle f(x) = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

let's make it so

$\displaystyle h = - 4.9 {t}^{2} + 29.4t$

therefore we got

our <em>a</em> is -4.9 and <em>b </em>is 29.4

so substitute:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -( 29.4)}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

remove parentheses and change its sign:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ - 9.8}$

simplify division:

$\displaystyle \: t = 3$

so we have figured out the time when the baseball will reach the maximum height

now we have to figure out the height

to do so

substitute the got value of time to our given function

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot {3}^2$

simplify square:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot 9$

simplify mutilation:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=88.2-44.1$

simplify substraction:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=44.1$

hence,

the maximum height of the baseball is 44.1 metres

In the probability distribution to the right, the random variable X represents the number of marriages an individual aged 15 ye

kodGreya [7K]

The table of the probability is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

μ = 0.919

The interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value which is also called mean value is denoted by the symbol μ. It is defined as the sum of the product of each possibility x with it's probability P(x) as the formula;

μ = Σx.P(x) = (0 × 0.272) + (1 × 0.575) + (2 × 0.121) + (3 × 0.027) + (4 × 0.004) + (5 × 0.001)

μ = 0.919

Thus, the interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.
